I’m not watching a comedy show for that reason. The Bo Burnham special had nothing I watch a comedy special for (funny jokes), unfortunately. But I am reading an article that praises him for doing that, when he actually did the opposite.

Something actually problematic. Otherwise this song is just him humblebragging about not actually being problematic.

He absolutely did not own up to it. Most of the song is apologising for wearing an Aladdin costume where he explicitly states it was just the costume and not brown face.
