Quick Note: This list doesn't include any songs from Bo's new special, Inside.

I don't not like any of Bo's songs, but this song is probably his least creative. There's not really a punch line. It's kind of just one unoriginal joke, but it has some good lines such as:
Best Line: "Well, I'm like a game of baseball cause there's something you might catch." — youtube.com

Fat jokes = not ok, but this song is surprisingly endearing.
Best Line: "We look just like the number 10 when you stand next to me. Is it your stare that pulls me in, or just gravity?" — youtube.com

BO, WHY ARE YOU MAKING SANTA CLAUS A SEX ADDICT?! STAHP. But also keep going 'cause it's funny.
Best Line: Tony the Tiger: "Every day I wake up, I get to work late / My boss says, 'Hey, whats up?' / I say that I'm grrrrrrrrowing tired of this sh!t" — youtube.com

The song has nothing to do with math, and it also seems like a lesser version of "Bo Fo Sho," which is why it's #38 on this list. But I'll admit that this line made me laugh more than it should have:
Best Line: "Here's a confession, it's all about me / Here's my impression of a broken jet ski / Badadadada dadadada" DEAD — youtube.com

The alternative title for this is "Little Adolf." It's a song about a baby Hitler. I'm here for it. 🎶He's a Dictator-tot!🎶

This one's fine, but it doesn't seem like his most thought-out song. He's had songs before this that are 10x more clever. I'm not really the biggest fan of these observational songs where he just lists stuff. Still, it's an entertaining song and gets some good laughs.
Best Line: "A little kid died from suffocation when he choked on a game piece from Operation. And I can't grow a beard. That one's not ironic, that one's just sad" — youtube.com

Bo has said that he hates this song now cause he thinks it's too offensive, but to me, I think it was right on the line of going too far, and that's my favorite kind of comedy. This song makes me wish I could read Bo's pimply @ss cheeks. Isn't that the American Dream when all is said done?

Don't worry, this one's actually throwing some serious shade on the KKK.

I love when Bo makes fun of religion, and this is the first of a few songs where he does that, but this has got to be the filthiest one. Gotta love 17-year-old Bo!

This one's in the same boat as "Ironic," but the reason it's not lower on this list is because it's funnier and ya gotta love a guitar-playing Bo. This is the last song where he plays the guitar 'cause he doesn't think he's very good at it. FALSE!

This song is both dated and relevant, and it's amazing. Plus, I love the way Bo is just so not having it with Katy Perry in the video which is fitting because 8 years later, he high-key bashes her.

When Bo performed this song, he would just do it a cappella, and it's probably the best thing about this song. The jokes land a lot better without the music, and it's one of Bo's best early raps.

"Channel 5 News" is so weird and so in your face, and I love it. The tune was derived from an early version of "From God's Perspective." How Bo went from God to news is a mystery to me!

I'm pretty sure when Bo was performing this, he had a serious long-term girlfriend. Lucky lady, she was.
Best Line: "Love is being the owner of the company that makes rape whistles / And even though you started the company with good intentions trying to reduce the rate of rape / Now you don't want to reduce it at all cause if the rape rate declines, you'll see an equal decline in whistle sales" — youtube.com

"We Think We Know You" was such a surprise to see from Bo, especially at the end of such a flamboyant and lively special. He doesn't talk the whole time on stage, he's just listening. It gets serious without losing the comedy. It was such a good way to end what.

Bruh, can I tell you that the first time I heard this song it was the summer after my freshman year of high school, and I was taking Chemistry for summer school, and I had like no friends in my class.

This is the most musical-theatery song Bo has ever made, and it's soo good. The light changes of the set and the aggressiveness of the boyfriend's part makes the song that much funnier. Can we all just agree that Bo should make a Broadway musical, like, this instant?

Anybody else choke on their own spit the first time they heard this chorus? Cause I was DEAD. Also I can play this on piano... just thought I'd put that out there.
Best Line: The whole ending is gold.

OH BO, PLAY THAT OBOE! This song is so 2010 it hurts. The verses sound like a Pitbull song and the chorus sounds like a Katy Perry song, yet somehow it still sounds like it's not trying to be anything other than pure Bo. It's brilliant.
Best Line: "Pull it out, stick it in your mouth, and I bust in the back of ya / Swallow b*tch, there's people starving in Africa!" — youtube.com

It was really hard to pick whether I liked "Oh Bo" or "Words Words Words" better cause I like them pretty much equally, and they're equally fun to sing, but I like the end of "Words" a little bit more, so here we are. Both songs are the reason why I'm sad Bo now thinks rapping is lame cause I think he was really good at it. I'm gonna miss all the puns and the double entendres.

Bo can't expect me to have low expectation of men there's people like him walking around. But I guess I'll still listen cause the song's pretty catchy.

For me, it's not just the song itself but the way Bo presents it. I love the light changes and how Bo looks like a completely different person when he's the left brain vs. the right brain. He knows how to keep it funny while also talking about mental health without being too heavy handed. It's truly amazing. Bo deserves some kind of award for this bit ALONE.
Best Line: Right Brain: "You think you're the right one every time / You think you know everything but you don't know anything at all / Half of his problems were supposed to be mine / But you wanted everything I hope that you're happy cause he's sure not" This isn't the funniest line, I just like it. Don't judge meee. — youtube.com

I love the idea of God just looking down on us like, "Guys, where are you getting all this information from? Like stop. No. You're wrong." Being a child that was forced to go to church erry Sunday, this take on the big man upstairs really struck a chord with me.

This is the song that made everybody question whether Bo was ok or not. The funny part is that it starts with him complaining about the diameter of Pringles cans. It's also such a beautiful song. Even when he's talking about burritos, it brings a tear to my eye, and then he brings it down and then the tears are unstoppable from there on. THE LIGHTING. THE VOCALS. JUST EVERYTHING. I CAN'T HANDLE IT, BO.

Remember when you watched Make Happy for the first time and you were like already crying at the end of "Can't Handle This" and just assumed it was over but then Bo sat down at a piano and you were just like "No, Bo. Don't you f*cking dare. Bo, I CAN'T HANDLE THISSS. STAHP!" And then he proceeded to play like the most beautiful song, and then you were suddenly dehydrated. Yeah... yeah, me too.

I mean, what else could have been #1 honestly? "art is dead." is not only the best song (in my opinion) that Bo has ever written, but it's probably the best song Bo will ever write. I don't mean to underestimate his abilities, but this song is just so aggressive, emotional, and funny all at the same time! "Can't Handle This" is great, but it lacks the raw emotion that only a piano-playing Bo can bring. Oh, and also BO WAS F*CKING 19 HERE. SOMEONE GIVE THIS MAN A GRAMMY. HE WAS ROBBED OF AN OSCAR NOM. IT'S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO.
Best Line: This is difficult cause the whole song hits so HARD, but imma have to go with the last line, "But I'm just a kid / I'm just a kid / I'm just a kid, kid / And maybe I'll grow out of it" It's just the best way to end a song like this. BRAVO. — youtube.com
