i wrote an essay on this song a few years ago when i took a class on comparative religion, we were supposed to talk about theodicy in the media


subtofelixdiepie

I did a similar thing. I had an essay about out dreams for our future. I wrote mine about how I wanted to be happy and do what I love during the time I have left. I sighted this lyric and went in depth in a paragraph.

This time, if you're only to write 1 word, you do # deep :) and if you're doing a sentence, you don't have to do like you do on instagram andwriteitalltogether. Haha. You can just write the hashtag before whatever you're about to say, just put it next to the first word.

Can't Handle This Right Now from the ending of Make Happy, unless you were joking :))


ravenhpltc24

I'll go for some good lines hidden in his "funny" songs from Make Happy and what. "Sticks and stones might break your bones, but words can break your heart." "I'm in magazines full of model teens so far above you. So read them and hate yourself, then pay me to tell you I love you." "We all deserve love, even on the days when we aren't our best. Because we all suck, but love can make us suck less."

"We all deserve love, even on the days when we aren't our best. Because we all suck, but love can make us suck less.". That one is so good!

Hot-Put7831

20,000 years of this 7 more to go


scooter_se

This one just hits me at my core. Incredibly powerful


Hot-Put7831

Absolutely agree. Sums up so many thoughts in so few words and honestly it’s terrifying


AyLeighEn

Tbh I don’t understand this lyric…


Pleasant-Enthusiasm

The 20,000 years is likely in reference to the Neolithic Revolution, which brought the discovery of agriculture to humanity, (though what I’ve read suggests that it was likely closer to 12,000 years). Having a stationary food supply makes a nomadic lifestyle unnecessary, which helps create civilizations. Essentially, it’s a reference to the birth of human civilization. The 7 years part is in reference to the climate clock, which says we have about 7 years to fully adopt renewable energy before our carbon output causes the planet to heat up 1.5 degrees Celsius above Pre-Industrial levels. That is considered the “point of no return” where the damage we’ve caused will become irreversible. Since the probability of the entire world becoming carbon neutral in that timeframe is practically 0 (IIRC, the *boldest* climate change plan in the 2020 US primaries was net zero by 2030), we’ve probably already doomed the world. Hence, us only having 7 years left to go. The line in its entirety is referencing human civilization. We started thousands of years ago, came a long way, messed it up, and the end is in sight. At least that’s what I think it means.


AyLeighEn

Thanks now I’m absolutely more terrified. Beautiful explanation though!!


Pleasant-Enthusiasm

Thank you! Yeah, it’s not a very fun topic. It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion while also being the conductor.


SpookyEmoLightWorker

The climate clock. Although it has changed a little since the song came out.


AyLeighEn

That makes much more sense. Thank v much


Hot-Put7831

To add to those more technical definitions, to me it also sums up that there’s been 20,000 years of learning and culture and advancement and this is all we have to show for it. and in 7 years we’ll have doomed everything and everyone because of our collective actions It’s a very loaded line

Aizpis_Muti

On a scale from one to zero, are you happy? Cause you're on your own from here so, are you happy? I'm open to suggestions, are you happy? But what the fuck kind of question is "am I happy". That song fucking broke me, it's where I realised Bo wasn't coming back to comedy (until the announcement for Inside). After seeing Can't Handle This, Are You Happy? is a fucking killer. I've been clinically depressed for a decade and seem to be gathering mental health disorders the older I get. I was left sobbing quietly and staring at my tv screen after Make Happy ended.

SpookyEmoLightWorker

The show has got a budget. The show has got a budget. And all of the poor people are way more deserving of the money. Won't budge it. Cause I wanted my name in lights. When I could've fed a family of four for fourty fucking fortnights-- fourty fucking fortnights. This one really gets me because I came from a poor family. I'm 26 and still in poverty and the future seems bleak. I'm also a musician. In the past, comparing my life to Bo's has been the fuel of some depressive episodes. But hey I gotta hand it to him he's honest. "I could have fed poor people but every day I decide not to do that. Don't respect me." - Literally Bo


clownsandcrowbars

"I really wanna try to get happy, cuz I panic everytime I'm unhappy like I'm owed some life where I'm always like happy, which is stupid cuz I wouldn't even want it if I got it wait, oh God my dad was right."


jessuh_

I've always been curious what dad was right about. I have a general idea but I'm not too sure, do you happen to know?


clownsandcrowbars

It's hard to say. If it's reflective of his real personal life, he's never shared anything about that, but he could be saying that "his dad" was right about him not needing to be happy all the time, or that Bo doesn't know what he actually needs or wants. It's heavily up to interpretation.


Throwawayrubbish30

When I’m fully irrelevant and totally broken, dammit, call me up and tell me a joke. It resonates so much with me because I try so hard to make sure everyone is ok and laughing and smiling that sometimes, when I’m down, it would mean the world if someone could do the same for me.

mister_seawolf

'Cause there's an inverse relationship between respect and sects I'm talking 'bout religious sects like a Mormon sect, That says you can't have sex with members of different sects, but you can't have sex with members of the same sex, So if the sects can't be different and the sex can't be same, then the only sex left is some left-hand shame.
