Words Words Words - Definitely not as good as "what." and it is absolutely ridiculous to think so. I don't really like his songs where he raps the verses with a bunch of vulgar play on words. He's very talented to be able to write and perform it, don't get me wrong. It just doesn't know anything for me. The only things I really enjoyed were the stats, the bit at the movie theater when he has snare and cymbal on stage, and when he makes fun of traditional stand up comedy.
I really think "what." is going to change the way stand up comedy is done. It's just such a performance, and can't even be compared to other stand-up acts, whereas "Words Words Words" is definitely not traditional stand up, but it's nowhere near as far as removed as "what."
That's fair. It's clear to me that we like two different things about Bo. I know this is going to come across as snobbish, and I don't mean it to, but I've really been a fan of Bo since about 2006 when he started doing some silly songs on youtube, so for me, he's always been the guy who does hilarious, clever upbeat songs that include a whole bunch of plays on words, and up until "What." that's always what it's been. And in that respect, Words Words Words blows What. out of the water. My favorite part of What. is "repeat stuff," as that's what is really closest to what he's always done.
Words Words Words (the song), Oh Bo, and What's Funny, for me, cannot be beat. I also really liked the Shakespeare stuff. It's mostly lighthearted and there are really an unbelievable amount of plays on words.
In short, like I said, we just appreciate two different aspects of Bo, and he's very good at both. But selfishly, I hope he gets back to "his roots."
