Shawn, I hope you see this. I’m a 58 year old grandma who thinks you are incredibly talented. I actually watch your videos over and over. I am guaranteed a laugh, always. Thank you.
wow thank you very much, made my day!🩷
awww
Omg ;,0
this is so cute 🥹
That’s the sweetest thing ever
So then her name is Creamy De La Crème….somehow it’s so awful and yet so camp
YUP
I just want everybody to know that there are about 7000 languages and 300 writing systems and Tookie de la creme knows all of them
She knows every language in the world. Not our world, obviously, the world in which where there is a place called Modelland. There are many differences.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbsare you tookie
@@eggzaclythis made me cackle
she knows both scottish gaelic AND irish gaelic... queen shit methinks
I almost spit out my tea when I saw the name Tookie de la Creme but I wasn't ready for CREAMY DE LA CREME LMAO
Tyra banks has lived many lives
she is a literal alien
@@shawnmccombFr fr
She reminds me of Zuckerberg. Like a lizard creature trying to imitate humans but not quite getting it right
@waffles658 her eyes always gave alien, idk why, but its freaky
this just felt like you were telling us a dream you had lmao i can imagine your dreams are this wild
Right it's wild I'm invested though
This honestly inspires me to write a book because if she can anyone can
Same honestly
real
The second you pulled the book out I shouted “why is it so big!”. I hope my neighbors couldn’t hear
The modelland theme had me DYING when I first heard it a few years back. Lmfao
Please rise for the Modelland National Anthem
I lost it every time you said one of the characters names 😭😭😭
Like wtf is CREAMY???? 💀✋
“i googled it on youtube” -both shawn and my grandmother
but in all seriousness dude your mind for this video
*clapping because i care*
cringed so hard when i was editing but I've accepted it
Tyra really said "I will make Uglies but also, I will combine it with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and make it Worse" and I guess I have to respect her for that 💀
edit: autocorrect smh my head
smh my head
my favourite part of the entire book is the story of chris-creme-crobat’s eyeball sword incident. it’s the funniest thing i have ever read it’s like a looney tune. i’ve read this book twice
Same, I fucking died like I was completely done I know she is trolling us
TWICE?!?
@@yomama4519 i have a lot of free time
Is it worth reading? 😭 im actually debating whether i should buy it or not
@@Alrayesss It’s a very difficult book to recommend. It has to be one of the most confusing, most incomprehensible, and most poorly written things I’ve ever read. I had a great time and thought every second of it was hilarious, but I’ve heard other people complain it’s like torture to get through all 576 pages. I really have fun watching bad movies and reading bad books. If you want to read it, I would suggest trying to find it secondhand somewhere.
she needs to reissue the book and add "it's like infinite jest" - Shawn McComb on the cover in letters bigger than the title
Tookie De La Crème, god that was the hardest I've laughed in a bit
I am high and this is the funniest but most confusing thing I've ever watched. I am in tears.
Oh my god me too I can’t comprehend a thing😭😭😭
shawn is the tyra banks of booktube!
I think most would compare me to Princess Diana but oh well
@@shawnmccombI can see it
This is so insane I only trust you to give this book the justice it deserves.
the genius lyrics edit… genius is an apt adjective for that. i am so glad you’ve joined me in this trauma and please send me the zoom link for our first support group meeting asap
zoom is down atm so our first meeting will take place in the M building across the hall from the Ugly Room at Chartreuse sharp!!
that sentence gave me war flashbacks
I don't know if i just listened to the plot of a book or the most insane fever dream ever
literally can’t get over the name tookie de la creme
Every time you say “Ci~l,” I think of “Seal” of “Kiss From a Rose” fame.
I was washing my face while watching this and when you said the mother's name was Creamy I almost drowned
Its giving haruki murakami level storyline, but on acid
Tyra banks could write norwegian wood but murakami could never write modelland
Despite this book’s flaws I was really impressed by the high-octane creativity and originality on the page. It was wild and I had great time reading the strangeness. Genuinely gutted that the sequel never ended up being released!
The plot is just… 😱 listening to you explain made my head hurt. Thank you for enduring this for us 😂
Yes! My head hurts, too!!
I read this book TWICE and I still have absolutely no idea what it was about or what happened. I can't get enough of videos where people subject themselves to it and try to unpack it. So far, I've never encountered anyone who's fully understood it and I feel that's probably for the best.
I really want to know if she hired a ghost writer or she actually wrote it herself
on google it says it was ghost written
The real shock is that she seemingly found someone as insane as she is, then@@syriannam
Whats a ghost writer
@@cee1456 someone who writes a book in place of another person who acts as the author. James Patterson is most infamous for this, as many of his works are ghostwritten to the point where his name is more of a brand for a ridiculous amount of books than an actual author
@Zulf85 ur lying james patterson is a ghost rider??? im like, the biggest maximum ride fan ☹️
This is SO Y2K. The early 2000's barbie movie CGI images that are being provided to me via the narration of this book are quite a spectacle.
I genuinely am considering using my hard-earned money to purchase this book for my own.
i’m so glad someone finally brought up modelland, i read this when i was younger and really obsessed with top model. i had no idea what was going on😭
watching this immediately after pulling all nighter to write an essay has indefinitely destroyed me 🙏
No the worst part is she HAD A GHOSTWRITER 😭😭
Tyra Banks raised me
im so sorry
That’s unfortunate
the fact that there were multiple instances in which i thought you HAD to be making up plot points
This is just a fever dream she had about ANTM
I refuse to believe Tyra is a real person
I love the conviction in how you say Tookie every damn time
Every video I watch of yours I laugh so hard I start crying and my stomach starts hurting. Your fresh editing style and sense of humor bring me so much joy and is so refreshing to booktube🙏🏻🙏🏻
dahling had me crying 😭
41 min video? We’re been blessed 😭
This feels like trying to explain the dream you had last night but you only remember part of it so you and the person you’re talking to are equally confused
Your random edits are the best fr😭💀 Makes me laugh every time
The pilgrimage to modelland is sending me
Put this on as backround noise while I was studying at 2 am so this now feels like a fever dream
If you (for some reason) want to know the song lyrics to Moddeland what she's saying, here are the lyrics.
(I stole this from the og soundtrack comments)
Hey, it's Tyra, it's Tyra B
Runnin' in the, in my street
With four chicks in green
And they all look at me
They all runnin' for life
Their beauty is in strife
Runnin' from this wasteland
And back to Modelland
Can you, can you, can you, can you survive Modelland
Can you, can you, can you, can you survive
Modelland, Modelland, Modelland
Four chicks in green
Runnin' the New York dreams
Can you survi-ive Mo-del-la-and
In green and they all look at me
They all runnin' for life
Their beauty is in strife
Runnin' from this wasteland
And back to Modelland
Can you, can you, can you, can you survive Modelland
Can you, can you, can you, can you survive
Modelland, Modelland, Modelland
Four chicks in green
Runnin' the New York dreams
Can you survi-ive Mo-del-la-and
In green and they all look at me
They all runnin' for life
Their beauty is in strife
Runnin' from this wasteland
And back to Modelland
Can you, can you, can you, can you survive Modelland
Can you, can you, can you, can you survive
Modelland, Modelland, Modelland
Four chicks in green
Runnin' the New York dreams
Can you survi-ive Mo-del-la-and
modelland theme song is my alarm song now
her mom’s name is CREAMY DELACREME ??? 😭😭😭
your reviews are so good, laughing the whole time
Every one of these videos feels like an unhinged FaceTime call with bestie and I am so here for it 🕺✨
the "ACID TRIP ?" comment took me out I'm crying 😭
Booktubers wish their “24 hour reading vlogs 🤪🤡🤪” had me this intrigued
DRY SHAVING WITH A ROCK!?!?! I’m terrified lmao 😳😭
I just know I would be the one discovered by the trash scout.
Ok a few notes from someone who was cogniscent when she was popular - she was not famous for being unhinged at the time. That happened like, around Covid? When a lot of people started rewatching the show. Many of us modern critics watched Tyra Banks on TV when we were like, under the age of 15, so she only looks unhinged with us looking back at it. I remember at the time some people said she was "annoying" but they didnt like, use academic words to call out her constant messiness like they do now
Exactly! I grew up watching Tyra in the early 2000’s as a child and she was famous for being a supermodel and mainly for ANTM. She wasn’t meme-y in the slightest and the early 2000’s was a lot more…raunchy and uncut then.The content of ANTM and on her show wasn’t anything new or cancel worthy at the time because content then was more…unfiltered. Not justifying it though.
The trailer for the next part got me
this video quality is insane ty for blessing us with this video king shawn
This unlocked a memory for me. My momma read this to me before bed. (I didn't remember shit that happened though)
LMAO NO WAY
@shawnmccomb yea I vividly remember being like 9 and praying for a sequel 🙏
Oh God
wake up dahling a new shawn mccomb video just dropped
Ok but it’s giving horror though 🤨
Seeing the book trailer is like being in Psychedelics 😭
I grew up watching ANTM. What a time…
every time you said her name i laughed i'd be convinced you're making this up but its far too ridiculous for any mere human to concoct
the insinuation that tyra banks isnt human. Or the ghost writer ig. In which case. I mean. Can you be human if youre a ghost
Tyra banks is a fever dream and you cannot prove me wrong
You give me Tookie Da Le Crème vibes
wait also we must be psychically connected because the fact I uploaded my vid on your bday… spooky
…must be😵💫
This sounds unhinged AF, i NEED to read it
3:53 OMG WHAT IS THAT MELODY??!! 😍😍
Why were the names growing on me by the end though.
“Tookie De La Creme” literally made me scream also why was this released on a variation of 9/11
I’m really excited to see part 2 😂
Forget a Victorian child having a stroke following this, me from now almost had a stroke trying to keep all the names straight 🫠
i loved every second of this. sooo good. you gave me life. i died at the ... "why?"
Reacting to the Modelland theme song and hype video with you had me dying lol. Your humor is perfection.
i think this is the best thing i’ve ever found on the internet
The edits go crazy❤😍
Alice in Wonderland has a new rival 💀💀
edit: I use this video to fall asleep! The long, nonsensical plot feels like a bedtime story.
i love the teaser for part 2, i cannot wait!!! i really love watching your videos, you make my day so much better :”)
Been subscribed a few months now, you have so much charisma and charm! Great video as always so funny, also I love your smile!
the sigh you take every single time you say tookie de la crème. oh my god
Saw this was titled pt 1 mid through the video this is modeland prison experiment
Thanks for the cackle Shawn!!!!
one of my favorite yters tbh
just when I was really getting into the book the video cuts off with a part 2 ahh!! I will def be watching part 2 as soon as it comes out

Shawn its been a few weeks since the last vid of yours i watched and I just wanted to congratulate you on suddenly owning furniture in your bedroom! It looks so realistic nicely done! I feel like im inside of a home goods with that map and the little accent pillow and the potted plant
edit: oh yeah i forgot to mention the actual content of the video. This is a masterpiece I have spent the whole time absolutely losing my mind. Every time you say tookie de la creme I just hurtle into another dimension anyhow yeah thank you for your service as always
i lovelovelove the way you say tookie
this is my first video of yours and you're honestly the best booktuber tbh... no one is as funny and as engaging as you 💥💥
I was literally watching ANTM as u uploaded this i think were connected
The vibes in this autumnal blog are immaculate 🎃🖤👻☕️🍁
I swear I left this comment in another video... lol. Confused but ah well. Eh, either way I love your videos Shawn! This is the most unhinged and amazing review of a book I had no idea existed. Always look forward to seeing what you're reading!
For half a second I thought it could be cool to abandon the use of numbers as an indicator of time, but then why also use Spanish to count ?!
Can we get a Greta Gerwig adaptation
You’re so funny 😭😭 I’m laughing out loud lmaooo
Wait did I just become a Tyra Banks fan?
Thanks for the video king 😝 time to eat my dinner!
this is absolutely fascinating
You deserve a LONG VACATION after reading that… actually, I ALSO deserve a vacation from your summary.. damn.

Shawn is actually so funny and i dont know how-
THE TRAILER IS INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This is iconic.
