More quotes by Bo Burnham
Humour is often linked to shared experience. Like, a guy gets up and says, Have you noticed public restrooms have really inefficient hand-dryers? Oh my God, yes I have, hahaha, really good point, they should... fix that. It's good to know that somebody finally gets me!

Bo Burnham
I love you like a gay geneticist loves designer genes.
Bo Burnham
I don't like calling myself a feminist only because I don't think I've done anything active enough to call myself one. It'd be like calling myself a civil rights activist just because I'm not racist.
Bo Burnham
If Jesus can walk on water, can he swim on land?
Bo Burnham
I get more ass than a giant donkey stable.
Bo Burnham
Was Einstein's theory good? Relatively.
Bo Burnham
I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone's watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.
Bo Burnham
Squaring numbers are just like women. If they're under thirteen, just do them in your head.
Bo Burnham
Happy Thanksgiving! I broke into Best Buy and stole a copy of Pocahontas to celebrate.
Bo Burnham
When I tried to hit puberty I swung and I missed.

My work is trying to at least define myself on my own terms, and then if other people enjoy things that's a lovely addition.
