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.
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.
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
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
@@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.
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
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
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!
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.
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.

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🙏🏻🙏🏻
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
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.
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!
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
This book sounds like when your friend tries to tell you the really weird dream they had last night and it doesn’t make any sense but you have to just nod and be like “okay” 😅
I’m halfway through and rn you are describing Model version of the Hunger Games to me. Like this is just the Hunger Games and therefore that’s what I am picturing like the capitol with all the ridiculous colors and stuff.
![i read [and watched] Uglies so you don't have to](/img/n.gif)

wow thank you very much, made my day!🩷
awww
Omg ;,0
this is so cute 🥹
That’s the sweetest thing ever
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
So then her name is Creamy De La Crème….somehow it’s so awful and yet so camp
YUP
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 honestly inspires me to write a book because if she can anyone can
Same honestly
real
Tell me when it’s done, and send me the link
“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
The second you pulled the book out I shouted “why is it so big!”. I hope my neighbors couldn’t hear
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
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
I lost it every time you said one of the characters names 😭😭😭
Like wtf is CREAMY???? 💀✋
The modelland theme had me DYING when I first heard it a few years back. Lmfao
Please rise for the Modelland National Anthem
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

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
shawn is the tyra banks of booktube!
I think most would compare me to Princess Diana but oh well
@@shawnmccombI can see it
she needs to reissue the book and add "it's like infinite jest" - Shawn McComb on the cover in letters bigger than the title
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😭😭😭
I don't know if i just listened to the plot of a book or the most insane fever dream ever
This is so insane I only trust you to give this book the justice it deserves.
Tookie De La Crème, god that was the hardest I've laughed in a bit
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.
Its giving haruki murakami level storyline, but on acid
Tyra banks could write norwegian wood but murakami could never write modelland
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
I was washing my face while watching this and when you said the mother's name was Creamy I almost drowned

I love the conviction in how you say Tookie every damn time
The plot is just… 😱 listening to you explain made my head hurt. Thank you for enduring this for us 😂
Yes! My head hurts, too!!
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 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

@Zulf85 ur lying james patterson is a ghost rider??? im like, the biggest maximum ride fan ☹️
watching this immediately after pulling all nighter to write an essay has indefinitely destroyed me 🙏
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😭
dahling had me crying 😭
Tyra Banks raised me
im so sorry
That’s unfortunate
41 min video? We’re been blessed 😭
Your random edits are the best fr😭💀 Makes me laugh every time
The pilgrimage to modelland is sending me
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🙏🏻🙏🏻
No the worst part is she HAD A GHOSTWRITER 😭😭
This is just a fever dream she had about ANTM
the fact that there were multiple instances in which i thought you HAD to be making up plot points
The trailer for the next part got me
Every one of these videos feels like an unhinged FaceTime call with bestie and I am so here for it 🕺✨
your reviews are so good, laughing the whole time
the "ACID TRIP ?" comment took me out I'm crying 😭
this video quality is insane ty for blessing us with this video king shawn
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
Put this on as backround noise while I was studying at 2 am so this now feels like a fever dream
modelland theme song is my alarm song now
It is suitably alarming
wake up dahling a new shawn mccomb video just dropped
3:53 OMG WHAT IS THAT MELODY??!! 😍😍
i think this is the best thing i’ve ever found on the internet

Reacting to the Modelland theme song and hype video with you had me dying lol. Your humor is perfection.
Seeing the book trailer is like being in Psychedelics 😭
DRY SHAVING WITH A ROCK!?!?! I’m terrified lmao 😳😭
i loved every second of this. sooo good. you gave me life. i died at the ... "why?"
I refuse to believe Tyra is a real person
I grew up watching ANTM. What a time…
This sounds unhinged AF, i NEED to read it
Thanks for the cackle Shawn!!!!
Tyra banks is a fever dream and you cannot prove me wrong
i love the teaser for part 2, i cannot wait!!! i really love watching your videos, you make my day so much better :”)
i lovelovelove the way you say tookie
You give me Tookie Da Le Crème vibes
Been subscribed a few months now, you have so much charisma and charm! Great video as always so funny, also I love your smile!
Why were the names growing on me by the end though.
Ok but it’s giving horror though 🤨
one of my favorite yters tbh
I just know I would be the one discovered by the trash scout.
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!
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
the sigh you take every single time you say tookie de la crème. oh my god
Shawn is actually so funny and i dont know how-
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 💥💥
You deserve a LONG VACATION after reading that… actually, I ALSO deserve a vacation from your summary.. damn.
The edits go crazy❤😍
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
THE TRAILER IS INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
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
You’re so funny 😭😭 I’m laughing out loud lmaooo
genuine tears at ur reaction to the theme song
thank god i've finally found a fellow anti-dust-jacket-er!!
32:52 HELP?????
Every now and then I return to this review and remember that my mind is just as expansive as Tyra’s and I should believe in myself
Booktubers wish their “24 hour reading vlogs 🤪🤡🤪” had me this intrigued
This book sounds like when your friend tries to tell you the really weird dream they had last night and it doesn’t make any sense but you have to just nod and be like “okay” 😅
wait also we must be psychically connected because the fact I uploaded my vid on your bday… spooky
…must be😵💫
I was literally watching ANTM as u uploaded this i think were connected
Forget a Victorian child having a stroke following this, me from now almost had a stroke trying to keep all the names straight 🫠
lowkey expecting a Shawn rendition of the Modelland theme song in part 2...
her mom’s name is CREAMY DELACREME ??? 😭😭😭
This is iconic.
“I googled it on TH-cam” was such a great line 10/10
I’m really excited to see part 2 😂
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
I’m halfway through and rn you are describing Model version of the Hunger Games to me. Like this is just the Hunger Games and therefore that’s what I am picturing like the capitol with all the ridiculous colors and stuff.
I’ve been watching this sporadically, because I just can’t process too much Tyra at once lol
you eated 💅
Saw this was titled pt 1 mid through the video this is modeland prison experiment
dahling this was one of the videos of all time
