One of the most eagerly awaited new NBC fall shows is Yo Teach ... ! Well, no. Actually, the show doesn't really exist. This is a promo for the new Judd Apatow movie Funny People. But you can imagine this show existing on television, maybe on Friday nights on ABC sometime in the mid-90s, right before Boy Meets World.

Here's the web site for the show, which has more video and looks a lot like the site for a real show. That's Bo Burnham as the student.

We've all seen the thousands of comedy videos that people upload to YouTube. Some of them are good, most of them are awful, and there are very few that you would describe as "brilliant." This guy is the latter.

They're from 17 year-old Bo Burnham, a Massachusetts teen who started uploading wacky songs a while back and became a viral video sensation. How much of a sensation? Hollywood agent Douglas Edley (who also reps Dave Chappelle and Drew Carey) saw the videos and called up Burnham. He's now his agent, and Burnham was signed to Comedy Central. He recently recorded an album for them and has filmed some comedy segments for the channel.

After the jump are a couple of samples of Burnham's work (check out more at the link above, especially "Cookout"). Warning: these are NSFW, or school, church, or ice cream social for that matter. But they are undeniably funny and very clever, and Burnham has the musical chops to back up the words.
