Despite the differences between Bo Burnham's Inside and Would It Kill You to Laugh?, the specials feel inherently linked, tied together by a specific brand of millennial anxiety that is shared by their creators. michcohn has more:
. The former is a highly produced sketch special about two best friends and the latter is a solo special created by, produced by, and starring one person in a room by himself. Yet despite their differences, they feel inherently linked, tied together by a specific brand of millennial anxiety that is shared by their creators. They exist as companion pieces for audiences who feel overwhelmed by being alone, and overwhelmed by being around others.
The same thing occurs in the dance class sketch, where Berlant and Early play dancers who can’t quite get the moves right on their routine. Though their teacher is not cruel in her criticisms, the two immediately become defensive. Berlant and Early crave other people’s approval, and to admit their shortcomings would be to acknowledge that they aren’t as great as they present themselves to be. That fear is too large for them to overcome.
