Tyra Banks wrote a diabolical YA fantasy book in 2011 so I read it! (pt. 01) 

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

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.

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

Tyra banks has lived many lives

So then her name is Creamy De La Crème….somehow it’s so awful and yet so camp

This honestly inspires me to write a book because if she can anyone can

this just felt like you were telling us a dream you had lmao i can imagine your dreams are this wild

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

“i googled it on youtube” -both shawn and my grandmother but in all seriousness dude your mind for this video

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

I lost it every time you said one of the characters names 😭😭😭 Like wtf is CREAMY???? 💀✋

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

she needs to reissue the book and add "it's like infinite jest" - Shawn McComb on the cover in letters bigger than the title

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

shawn is the tyra banks of booktube!

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.

This is so insane I only trust you to give this book the justice it deserves.

literally can’t get over the name tookie de la creme

I was washing my face while watching this and when you said the mother's name was Creamy I almost drowned

I don't know if i just listened to the plot of a book or the most insane fever dream ever

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 😂

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

I really want to know if she hired a ghost writer or she actually wrote it herself

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.

I love the conviction in how you say Tookie every damn time

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😭

Your random edits are the best fr😭💀 Makes me laugh every 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🙏🏻🙏🏻

41 min video? We’re been blessed 😭

the fact that there were multiple instances in which i thought you HAD to be making up plot points

dahling had me crying 😭

The pilgrimage to modelland is sending me

This is just a fever dream she had about ANTM

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

Tyra Banks raised me

No the worst part is she HAD A GHOSTWRITER 😭😭

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 🕺✨

Put this on as backround noise while I was studying at 2 am so this now feels like a fever dream

this video quality is insane ty for blessing us with this video king shawn

Why were the names growing on me by the end though.

The trailer for the next part got me

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

I refuse to believe Tyra is a real person

wait also we must be psychically connected because the fact I uploaded my vid on your bday… spooky

modelland theme song is my alarm song now

the "ACID TRIP ?" comment took me out I'm crying 😭

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

Reacting to the Modelland theme song and hype video with you had me dying lol. Your humor is perfection.

3:53 OMG WHAT IS THAT MELODY??!! 😍😍

wake up dahling a new shawn mccomb video just dropped

i think this is the best thing i’ve ever found on the internet

DRY SHAVING WITH A ROCK!?!?! I’m terrified lmao 😳😭

This unlocked a memory for me. My momma read this to me before bed. (I didn't remember shit that happened though)

Seeing the book trailer is like being in Psychedelics 😭

i loved every second of this. sooo good. you gave me life. i died at the ... "why?"

her mom’s name is CREAMY DELACREME ??? 😭😭😭

Booktubers wish their “24 hour reading vlogs 🤪🤡🤪” had me this intrigued

I grew up watching ANTM. What a time…

Thanks for the cackle Shawn!!!!

i love the teaser for part 2, i cannot wait!!! i really love watching your videos, you make my day so much better :”)

This sounds unhinged AF, i NEED to read it

Tyra banks is a fever dream and you cannot prove me wrong

“Tookie De La Creme” literally made me scream also why was this released on a variation of 9/11

Been subscribed a few months now, you have so much charisma and charm! Great video as always so funny, also I love your smile!

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

Ok but it’s giving horror though 🤨

I just know I would be the one discovered by the trash scout.

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 lovelovelove the way you say tookie

The vibes in this autumnal blog are immaculate 🎃🖤👻☕️🍁

You give me Tookie Da Le Crème vibes

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 sigh you take every single time you say tookie de la crème. oh my god

one of my favorite yters tbh

Forget a Victorian child having a stroke following this, me from now almost had a stroke trying to keep all the names straight 🫠

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

The edits go crazy❤😍

You’re so funny 😭😭 I’m laughing out loud lmaooo

Wait did I just become a Tyra Banks fan?

Shawn is actually so funny and i dont know how-

genuine tears at ur reaction to the theme song

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 ?!

You deserve a LONG VACATION after reading that… actually, I ALSO deserve a vacation from your summary.. damn.

I’m really excited to see part 2 😂

Can we get a Greta Gerwig adaptation

I was literally watching ANTM as u uploaded this i think were connected

you eated 💅

do you have a new camera because the quality is making you give like italian. like irish. green green eyes. Tiomothee chalamet crying in front of the fireplace at the end of Call me by your name.

THE TRAILER IS INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Saw this was titled pt 1 mid through the video this is modeland prison experiment

This is iconic.

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

How the hell did you manage to understand anything from this?😂 You're my hero, Shawn🥹🤍 Can't wait for part2! Jokes apart, thank you because it is such a horrible time of my life, I'm dealing with chronic pain for a year and a half now and you are such a comfort, a literal painkiller, transporting me in these beautiful uncomfortable places with you😅✨ Thank you🫂 hugs from Italy
