No, Bo Burnham is not teasing an ‘inner’ follow-up │ Exclaimed!

We are still healing from Inside — but it looks like Bo Burnham is ready to go Outside. Or at least that’s what a duo of mysterious YouTube and TikTok accounts have led fans to believe through a series of cryptic videos seemingly detailing the title of his next project.

UPDATE (1/14, 8:35 PM ET): The owners of the YouTube and TikTok accounts teasing said material have come forward to admit that the “Robert Burnham” profiles are fake. Sad!


As of press time, a TikTok account belonging to a “Robert Burnham” has been posting creepy videos with what appears to be music from the comedian’s Inside outtakes superimposed on footage of a rolling tide, in addition to the three most recent uploads, which contain the letters “O”, “U” and “T” respectively. Suspiciously, the account shares a profile picture with Burnham’s verified Instagram profilewhich currently has all posts either archived or deleted.

TikTok account name, @destroyarasakarefers to the fictional evil megacorporation from Cyberpunk video game franchise, the latest installment of which arrived in 2020 (the year before Burnham fell Inside), as Reddit users have pointed out. Profile bio points to YouTube account @please stay outsidewho posted two more cryptic videos yesterday (January 12).

Nothing from any official channels has been confirmed about Burnham’s follow up on Insideand the timing of the events raises suspicion; The Robert Burnham TikTok account is counting down to January 19, the day the app is set to potentially be banned in the US. The Bo Burnham subreddit has further speculated that the new accounts are run by a fan and the whole thing is a hoax. That said, things felt pretty equally apocalyptic the last time we saw Burnham – maybe the end of the world is just his thing now.
