i read O.G. YouTuber’s books to heal my inner child (it didn't work) 

growing up on youtube really changes a person

shawn is a combination of trisha paytas and princess diana in the most beautiful ways of possibilities

shawn is so funny i wish he were real

o.g. youtuber shawn mccomb award winning memoir coming when???

One direction will kidnap you if you don’t make another kidnapped by one direction video

Did Shawn start running because he was convinced the Maze Runner was gonna happen? Had to prepare, I guess 🤷‍♀️

i just can’t get my head around the fact that those iphone 3g instagram photos were put in PRINT. and were standing on a SHELF in a bookstore????? good lord

inner = onika child = burgers

The royalty free music is anxiety-inducing 😋

00:42 in and the poop jokes are already rolling

I miss when RU-vid was just Harry Potter Puppet Pals, Cat Videos, and Charlie the Unicorn

shawn never fails to melt the skin off my bones and turn my suicidal thoughts into actions, need more of whatever the hell this is🥰🥰🥰

hey Shawn, I just wanted to let you know that I’ve watched all 72 of your videos. Which means that you are now in full responsibility of my entire well-being and mental state. Ty☺️💋

3:55 ur so real about joey graceffa & how people reacted to youtubers coming out because i remember being a wee little baby child and i was SHOCKED watching his chapstick challenge

the fact that daniel and connor recently had public beef just shows that the girls are alive and relevant as ever 😌😌

shawn i am here to tell you right now,, girls do NOT poop.

High quality content this is so RU-vid premium worthy

discovering porn on facebook at 11 years old is my favorite piece of shawn lore

Calling Connor Franta out of touch is so real. And yes, he does seem to come from a place of kindness/wanting to be kind. The ignorance about his privilege is just so obvious from this book. Ends up extremely self-centred and someone not understanding layers, let’s be honest… Glad you’re pointing it out! And the ambiguity some of us might feel bc he seems more socially aware today than he clearly wasn’t in ‘15…

Ignoring my chemistry work rn

so how is Shawn going to make his coming out vid? I'm thinking hiring Taylor Swift to announce it at her concert, and filming it and calling it So Long, Closet????

Joey Graceffa was really bringing Shawn out of his bitterness era

not including girl online by zoella is EVIL

Blessing us with two videos within two days; Shawn is soo Mother

I grew up in the Swedish RU-vid community, so this is so interesting for me because I don’t know any of them agahah (beside Trisha, icon)

shawn i NEED to know if u were a dan and phil kid like this is such crucial information

I'm really going through a hard time, watching your videos make me happy :)

i miss prank wars, chubby bunny challenges and og dan and phil tbh

This was such a thoughtful review! I think you really put into words the isolation and excitement of growing up on RU-vid watching people and being part of this awesome community. Like watching all those challenges and videos were such a lifeline I think for a lot of young people who had an Internet socialisation because I think it really shapes how you think of friendships and how to have fun. For me, that was like really early booktube and I think that time period when monetization and brands weren't so big really created an earnest connection between audiences. I don't know if you've checked out any fiction works (ahem zoella plagiarism episode) or self help (lily singh) but a review would be so cool. Of course only after a joan didion discography review and a wattpad trilogy mwah

Trisha Paytas and Joey Graceffa walked so Shawn could run

The ending of the Trisha's book reminded me of her poetry book. That was (in my opinion) good. Some of her poems really resonated while others were really... Trish like. But either way, I think she could have been an author. She would pulled it off.

Shawn, since you've been reading a lot of different people's writing, you should make a video reacting to your subscribers short stories or writing, since I'm sure you have a lot of writer's subscribed (including me). I feel like that would be really interesting and also chaotic but in a fun way

oh my god the chokehold The Children of Eden series had on me when i was a kid 💀

when's the Sean Mac Comb autobiography droppingggggg

I didn’t expect this video to be heartfelt and emotional when I clicked it. Absolutely loved it

the most unhinged thing i've seen from shawn is the fact that he edits with a trackpad and not a mouse

I wish Fred Figglehorn wrote a book

in every new video, i learn that shawn is actually very wise and smart. thank you king so speaking facts 🙏🏻

i love your channel sm please dont die ❤

shawn = onika mccomb = burgers

I didn't think a RU-vid book review would be my favourite Mr mccomb video but here we are

I hadn’t laughed out loud to a RU-vid video in such a long time. Thanks

I wanna be you when I grow up.

Been feeling down, glad you upload a new vid

need part two with other books actually shawn xx

thanks for the video shawn now i have a valid reason to ignore uni work💋

What an absolute BANGER

Shawn 😔 I was really sad and decided to open RU-vid and you just posted, now I’m slightly less sad 😌

i now have developed a need for Trisha to have Shawn on her podcast. How can we make this happen?!? 😂😂😂

thank you for always making my day

No you don’t get it I was OBSESSED with Joey graceffas fantasy book series like children of eden???? Loved that shit and I NEED to read them again and figure out what was going on

Shawn being a Trisha Paytas advocate in 2024 is the sunlight on the green grass of my MIND!!!!

I totally get what you’re saying about Trisha. I need to read her book now

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽what can I say you nailed it. I really liked it. You weren’t to hard at all on the criticism.

Correction: Pinecone, not acorn. lol. Confession: I used to watch Joey (now "Animal Rescuer") play Minecraft on RU-vid. For hours on end. Don't judge.

your mullet is a baackkk

You posting on my birthday now.... that's more like a "Happy"Birthday 🛐.

i’m commenting this on every video of yours bc i just need you to know how much u remind me of plane jane

SHAWN You should read Joey’s fantasy series Children of Eden 💀💀

I hope you know that the comfort you used to get from watching those videos to help you through school is the exact comfort WE get from you. ♥

Day 2 of DEMANDING shawn to read omegaverse books

girl pls post part 3 of the wattpad shit it was so good i’m INVESTED

You inspire me Shawn

i just reading ur goodreads and i saw trisha paytas book and yup shawn dropping new vid

Off topic, but I am in love with that white sweater. Care to share the brand Shawn?

you have reignited my joey graceffa obsession in a big big way. joey was the first youtuber where i felt i could be myself with him and i would never be turned away. it feels like he raised me WHICH IS A CRAZY THING to say but he truly did. joey graceffa you will always be famous

I admit, Connor's first book was very mid. however, I really liked his second book "Note to Self" and it had substance for sure, especially about anxiety and one's identity. but then again, I did read it when I was 19 (I'm 25 now) so maybe it's not as good as I remember.

crying cuz i definitely saved one of those hand photos to pinterest in 2016

i really get u bc lately ive been repressing a big urge to watch some 2014 back to school video

my jaw dropped when i saw i wasnt subscribed WTF 🙂💀 love shawn tho🥲🫶

We are getting fed this week ! I don't remember Shawn uplaoding that much.

Crazy how time flies

Hey shawn can i ask if u are part of the creator's for Palestine that many RU-vidrs supported? (Hope so)

shawn wheres the gatsby lifestyle video. please rachel show it to me please i miss it so much

shawn you need to read trisha’s poetry PLS🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

second time shawn uploads on a random wednedsay, lore me thinks

Conner likes his bugs !

only the 01 babies knowww!!

i feel like this is the sanest shawn video

You should have read "Mates" by Sobers Rodrigues. It's amazing.

during my a-levels i need u and this thanks

i would be honored to write your memoir, i wont charge for it. your royal presence is enough ❤

honestly, looking back at it, social consciousness before 2016 was practically non-existent lol (@ connor franta's book)

no way did he just call a pinecone an acorn at 19:50 😭

Lots of emotions

I LOVED THAT JOEY SONG OMG

Why do you remind me so much of nemo from eurovision help🙏😭🤞

my LA high school actually did have an ice cream vending machine on campus...

children of eden series was my PG version of crack

PLEASE READ GIRL ONLINE BY ZOELLAAA

Finally!! Tomorrow is my week off 🥹

Shawn healing my inner child. Thank you, Shawn.

Does Connor dip his bugs in his coffee he loves so dearly ? xD

memory unlocked

didn' know i needed this

Okay, now you n e e d to read Joey Graceffa"s ya dystopian novels

32:38 is traumatizing

another fantastic video from shawnbob squarepants

There used to be a ice cream vending machine at my old high school, but during covid they got rid of it. So it definitely is a thing. 💀 (I also live in a relatively "small" city like 70,000 but there's only two main high schools here)

My middle school actually had vending machines including an ice cream one. The popsicles, especially the orange creamsicles, did in fact come out so cold that if you didn’t wait a few minutes your lips would stick to it and they would bleed if you tried to just rip it off instead of just sitting there waiting for it to melt. Can’t believe you just unlocked that childhood memory lol. But my school was not a rich school at all. It was known as the prison school. I’m pretty sure the vending machines were meant to supplement the severely underfunded lunch program. So many girls had a pickle and hot Cheetos from those vending machines every single day for lunch. In retrospect, it was almost a status symbol because most of us qualified for free lunch.
