Bo Burnham is releasing “Inside” merchandise that is a clear parody of Marvel Studios
June 10, 2022 Andrew Buss Bo Burnham, News
A few weeks ago, Bo Burnham celebrated the 1 year anniversary of Inside – his highly popular Netflix special – by releasing a selection of outtakes on his YouTube channel.
Towards the end, he included a parody of Marvel Studios where he announced his own Inside Studios. This included a sendup of the Marvel release schedule where he announced forthcoming sequels to Inside that includes Inside 2, Inside: Genesis, Inside 1968, Socko, Still InsIIIde, Bezos: Quantum Prophecy, Inside The Multiverse, Girl Socko, and 40.
Burnham is now taking the parody a step further with a 100% tongue-in-cheek website featuring new products. The intro to the website itself is a pretty dead-on satire of Marvel’s tie-ins and their relationship with the eager fanbase.
TO OUR FANS,
Thank you for being a part of The Inside Studios Family. As a token of our appreciation for your continued support, we here at Inside Studios are allowing you the exclusive opportunity to take part in a
once-in-a-lifetime, Fan’s-First INSIDE EXPERIENCE.So here’s how it works: below is a selection of what we are calling “WEARABLE CONTENT’. All you need to do is what we are calling “BUY” this what we are calling “WEARABLE CONTENT” with what we are calling “YOUR MONEY”.
Now, the cool part. Once you have “BUY”ed this “WEARABLE CONTENT” (stay with us here), “YOUR MONEY” will become a LITERAL PART OF THE INSIDE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE. And the more “WEARABLE CONTENT” you “BUY”, the more “YOUR MONEY” you get to contribute.
It’s pretty awesome.
So do it. Become a part of us. Before it’s too late.
And, as always, STAY INSIDE.
Bo Burnham
President of Inside Studios
