  • what.:
    • Right Brain and Left Brain making up and reforming back into Bo at the end of their song. Right Brain even tells Left Brain that he loves him (though seeing as he seems to love everything, that might not count for much).
    • "Nerds," a song dedicated to the titular group and in general the artsy, literate and/or non-"beautiful" social outcasts of school settings, functioning as a middle finger to the bullies and popular kids that target them, and an assurance from Bo that he's in their corner.
      I got your back, kid.
  • Bo has done several Reddit AMAs, where he's shown to be surprisingly gracious to his fans (with the occasional snark once in a while, of course).
  • Some of Bo's poetry in Egghead is actually quite romantic. Take, for example, "Perfect":
    I love you just the way you are
    But you don't see you like I do.
    You shouldn't try so hard to be perfect.
    Trust me, perfect should try to be you.
  • Make Happy:
    • "Lower Your Expectations" ends with a genuine message about how people deserve love that can fill them and complete them, and how love can be the one thing that counteracts the fact that Humans Are Flawed. It's especially sweet after hearing Bo satirically take down the idealized "perfect man/woman" that people yearn for in the real world.
    • "Kill Yourself," outside of its very Dark Comedy, has a genuine message that life's worst problems don't have simple answers and that you shouldn't look for them in songs from pop stars, but you also shouldn't kill yourself. He even makes it clear that he doesn't want to be misconstrued as just being insensitive and hurtful; depression is a real epidemic and is often overlooked, and he advises people who are suffering from it to seek help from actual professionals.
