Bo Burnham’s Mysterious TikTok Clips: Are They a Comeback?

A new TikTok account claiming to represent Bo Burnham has emerged, sparking debates among fans about its authenticity. The acclaimed comedian and musician gained immense popularity following his 2021 Netflix special, Inside, which received critical adoration.

Following the release of the special, Burnham withdrew from the public eye, not engaging in performances or social media for several months. He did resurface briefly to share outtakes from Inside on the special’s one-year anniversary but has remained largely silent since then. The appearance of this enigmatic TikTok account, featuring a collection of cryptic videos, has stirred excitement and confusion among his followers.

Has Bo Burnham Made His TikTok Comeback?

The TikTok user DestroyArasaka surfaced on January 10 with content that rapidly gained traction, including a video showcasing Burnham that soared to over 2.8 million views. The bio of the account intriguingly reads: “Stay, outside. 6 days remain. – @pleasestayoutside on YouTube.”

Fans have been quick to express their enthusiasm regarding the possibility of Burnham’s return.

As speculation mounts, one user remarked, “Real ones know this is a clip from the Inside special,” while a number of people suggested that the account could simply be a fan’s tribute.

Upon deeper investigation, scrolling through the account reveals numerous videos related to the game Cyberpunk 2077, dating back to 2024. The username’s connection to Arasaka, a fictional corporation from the game, has led to theories that this account originally focused on gaming content before shifting its themes towards the comedian.

Is This Account Truly Bo Burnham?

While there remains a faint possibility that this account could indeed belong to Bo Burnham, generating excitement in anticipation of a new special, this remains unverified as of now. Interestingly, the last three videos on the profile appear to spell the word “Out,” which many fans interpret as a reference to “Outside,” speculated to be the title of his upcoming comedy project.

For the moment, fans eagerly await any response from Burnham on his official accounts, or perhaps even an appearance on this trending TikTok page with fresh content. This development comes at a critical time as conversations about a potential TikTok ban in the United States loom, pending a Supreme Court ruling by January 19 that may delay legislation aimed at prohibiting the app.
