Tingle calling his story “Moby Butt” when the original is already “Moby Dick” is my absolute favorite.
“Butt Dick” feels a bit too heavy handed for his style
@@OdellM520 he could've just called it "Moby's Dick" tho
People, people... You forgot the True essense of the books..... The butt.
Good Lord I hadn't even realized. Bravo, Dr Tingle, bravo.
(My favourite has to be _Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Pounded In The Butt By My Book 'Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt'"_ but given how I haven't been keeping up with his catalogue and I'm tempted to change favourites right now, you can imagine there are a lot of gems here. His Goodreads page is a wonder.)
@@BramLastname the use of the word Butt is much better for the comedy of it, IMO.
So I would just like to add that Chuck Tingle watched this video and then legitimately and immediately responded to the noncon issues of a dinosaur orgy by removing it from sale until it can be rewritten to better communicate the satire. That is fantastic.
Oh my god that is amazing. Bless Chuck Tingle!!
Holy shit really? We truly do not deserve Chuck Tingle
Yep, or at the very least that was what he said when he addressed it on Twitter/Facebook earlier. I thought it very classy of him.
Dude seems like a class act... with a surprisingly poor grasp of grammar, for a writer.
@@RabblesTheBinx meh most authors suck at grammar...thats the editors job lol he is self published so i doubt he hires an editor, theyre fcking expensive
I LOVE how he now refers to himself as "Two Time Hugo Award Finalist".
there is a story behind that. some people decided to out the hugo selection process as ... subvertable. And historically thoroughly subverted.
@@rmhartman Was that another of the pathetic attempts of the sad/rabid Puppies to ruin the awards as their weird conservative Scifi never stands a chance to fairly win?
@@Ugly_German_Truths The first one definitely was. You'd have thought that these people might have figured out that competitions aren't won by talentless hacks whose work is inferior to absurdist meta-porn about people getting fucked by their own sentient anatomy.
I literally cannot get over the name Chuck Tingle. Truly the best name for the author of the "The Butt Pounder of the Opera."
It feels like the only name that the author of these books could have had.
He didn't even name drop Tingle's best title: _Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Book 'Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt"'"_
I can only imagine Tingle from LoZ, and I can’t tell if that makes things better or worse 😐
Sounds like a NASCAR driver to me.
@@RabblesTheBinx That's a brave assertion. "Best Chuck Tingle Title" is a HIGHLY competitive competition.
Personally I'm a fan of "Slammed in the Butt by the Prehistoric Megalodon Shark Amid Accusations of Jumping Over Him", "Pounded by the Pound: Turned Gay by the Socioeconomic Implications of Britain Leaving the European Union", and, of course, "This American Butt with Ira Ass".
"His books make people happy--even if they haven't read them." I didn't know anything about him until this, and I am indeed now happier having listened to your rundown of those amazing titles. Update: Happiness increased after listening to you summarize some of the stories.
Me too. I'm all about the titles...
@@snoopygonewilder "The Russian Butcher" by Ivan Kutcherkockov 😏
Go to his wiki and read the titles. You won’t regret it
Me too
"I suspect that was Chuck Tingle's real intention, so, well done." Bold of you to assume us mere mortals can speculate on the intentions of Chuck Tingle.
He's been very open about his intentions - to trot his trot and prove love.
isn't he like actually andrew hussie or something
1:49 as an asexual, that title “Absolutely no thoughts of pounding during my fun day with this kind T-Rex because I’m aromantic and asexual and that’s a wonderfully valid way to prove love is real” is probably one of the best phrases I’ve ever seen in the English language.
As a asexual I agree also,it sounds like a good name for a song.
I love it! It's great to get some more representation.
@@emilylaing6127 Yeah I don't mind asexual rep as one me self.
@@HolyGoddessMotherAnne Yep! It's nice to be acknowledged
i just finished reading that story like 10 minutes ago and i cannot reccomend it enough. The "tingle" contais the story in the title plus an extra one about asexuality and they are both so sweet and full of love, it warmed my heart as well as it made me laugh bc of his absurdist comedy. A solid 5 stars from me!
"I would quite like to see some stories told from the perspective of an affluent, gay, horny dinosaur at some point." - Dominic Noble, 2021
If he really wants that, there's probably like a dozen stories on AO3...
Does he write fanfiction? He could
We can only hope he'll get his wish someday...
I've been on this here internet long enough to know that such stories do indeed exist, and have been available to read online since at least the mid 1990s...
@@OisEucalypt he probably meant he wants more. There's never enough
"And pounded by the pound: Turned Gay by the socioeconomic implications of Britain leaving the European Union"
OK, pack it up, that's it. That is the greatest title of anything in human history.
You didn't hear about "This American Butt with Ira Ass".
I was left wheezing so I had to pause the video to finish my laughing fit.
Then you'll probably love the sequel, "Slammed By The Substantial Amount Of Press Generated By My Book "Pounded By The Pound: Turned Gay By The Socioeconomic Implications Of Britain Leaving The European Union"." It's one of my personal favorites
It's good, but it's no _Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Book 'Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt"'"_
@@RabblesTheBinx this title gave me a bigger headache than buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo, thanks
Dom.
You *do* realize there will be a "Pounded by the Dominic Noble critic of my work" novel, don't you?
I just want to ensure you are ready for this honour.
Pounded by UA-cam Creator Dominic Noble About How My Dinosaur Orgy May Involve Noncon But That's Okay Because I'm Glad He Respects Consent
Dommed by the Noble while Pounded by his youtube channel.
I have not read a Tingler, but I would totally read this.
I do know that Chuck Tingle has acknowledged the video (he said the non-con dino one was an early work and would be rewritten)... I might need to check his catalogue since this video. 0.o
Considering he's working under a pseudonym it's entirely possible he actually DOES write longer more serious work just under a different name and this is a side hustle. Or the other way around.
Gotta make the niche erotica bucks to fund your passion projects.
@@FoxFireNaruto Can confirm. Have considered this. :(
@@fruitygarlic3601 Same.
The real reason GRRM hasn't finished A Song of Ice and Fire.
@@amrys_argent YES
I must admit that the book cover saying 'Im aromantic and asexual and that's wonderfully valid way to prove love is real" got a chuckle and a smile out of me as someone on both romance repulsed and on the Asexual spectrum
If it doesn’t have any sex scenes I might actually read it! I’m sex repulsed bit would love to read a short story about a person and their T-Rex squish hanging out.
"I would like to see a story from the perspective of an affluent, gay, horny dinousaur at some point"
Pretty sure furry writing circles have a multi-digit number of stories matching that exact description.
unfortunately no... dragons maybe
dinosaurs are usually jocks or the like
... or aliens...
Or is some fanfics. It wouldn't even be close to the strangest fic idea I have seen
@@Maioly no... it exists. I've read it. I mean, my friend has read it.
@@Maioly why are furries racist against dinos?
@@Gabe413 less racist and more lacking imagination when it comes to doing stuff with dinos
he actually wrote a true novella recently! "Straight" is a pretty interesting story about a group of queer individuals who try to take refuge in the middle of nowhere to avoid year 3 of a weird happening where for 12 hours all the cisgender straight people become murderous zombies. it touches on themes of found family, allyship, lateral hostility (lgbtq+ people who express hate/disgust for other lgbtq+ people), and the limits of pacifism. and like you mentioned earlier, there's a surprising amount of coherent worldbuilding to it! the book layout's a little weird, and there are more than a few proofreading errors, but overall i found it to be an insightful read that seems like to was very personal, if a little wish-fulfillment-y, to dr tingle. it proves love regardless
edited to add: it also doesnt have any sex in it. it's a story about friends and survival, and it takes to those themes well
I might actually read this. Surrealist erotica isn't really my thing (I giggle at titles and reviews and appreciate Chuck Tingle's existence, but my brain breaks at trying to imagine how these sex scenes would work 😅) but this sounds really interesting.
I never understood the logic of lateral hostility. Like it's just so dumb that you would hate others for being like you.
@@danialyousaf6456 That's not what lateral hostility is, I'm pretty sure. Lateral hostility is essentially like punching sideways instead of punching down. You can't reach the people in power so you hit the easiest target which is unfortunately the guy beside you. Trans people decide that "Transtrenders" are the reason people are transphobic. Gay men decide it's the 'stereotypical gay' making them 'look bad' etc. It's easier to deal with a problem like "These immigrants coming and taking our jobs" than realizing we live in a system made to use and abuse us and it's a systemic issue not the new people with a different accent. (if I'm wrong somebody lemme know plz)
*Edit. RIP my ADHD brain. Forgot to say the point is I think lateral hostility is more like transference rather than 'regular' bigotry. Trans medicalist folk end up being bigoted bc they transfer the pain of the way they're treated onto other trans people. It's like a trapped animal gnawing off its own limb. They only hurt themselves but they still do it even tho they'll never be 'good enough' for transphobes. It's really sad. A sort of withered cornered bigotry that's tragic because it's like watching somebody who internalized self hatred so deeply they're spreading it around all while hurting themselves in a perverted attempt at self defense.
@@Derxe123 ok. It's still dumb as hell tho.
@@danialyousaf6456 It’s bigotry, it’s not exactly expected to be intelligent. Punching over at someone else is a coping strategy, which our brains are very inventive with. Part of it also is defence of the self image, as seeing someone who is similar but different and stands out for it might make you feel self conscious, especially if their conceptualisation of what makes you both such a person is different than your own ideas about how it works. And that, defence of the ego, is extremely irrational but very core to us as humans.
I think Chuck Tingle is just one of those people I'm simply glad exists. The Tingler podcast, Pounded in the Butt By My Own Podcast, is also quite the experience.
He is also an imaginative youtuber with remarkably few followers - ua-cam.com/users/ChuckTingle You might want to turn down your volume a little.
Omg, I was hoping someone would bring up the podcast! I either found out about him through that or Rantasmo's Needs More Gay episode that Dominic mentioned. The podcast is so good. I also agree with you. As one of my college friends would say, I appreciate Chuck Tingle's existence.
@@pattheplanter Omg, he has a UA-cam channel now? Definitely subscribing to that.
OMG I have been missing out! Didn't know he had a podcast AND YT too! 🎉
My friend Chuck is also a great podcast featuring Chuck :)
I was secretly hoping you'd one day get to this guy. He's both shameless and iconic.
I absolutely love that Chuck Tingle tweeted his approval of this video and agreed on the noncon issue to the point that he pulled the book!
"it was undeniably a squeeze"
"I think they could have been just a little bit longer, just a little bit"
This review is getting as steamy as these books
Will there be a Pounded in the butt by my video review, in our collective future, I wonder?
Don't forget "tiny-ass story" and "butt of the joke"...
I am FAR to immature to not be smiling like a 5 year old through every second of this, Chuck Tingle's brain is truly cursed in all the best way
Trans Wizard Harriet Porber, being longer, definitely sounds like it, if you read it, would provide relief for a lot of the critiques you bring up! I read it and it was really satisfying to me, and also, hearing your thoughts on his other works, it sounds like it brings the world building, meta commentary, and other such staples of his work into one story. It’s a really fun read and I’d love to see you full review just the Harriet Porber stories

Signal boosting for the algorithm gods
Yes this!!!
I bought this one when the TERF stuff was blowing up on Twitter. It was my first Tingler, and it was a lot of fun letting my mind contort and frustrate itself trying to visualize his ideas. Like an evil motorcycle flipping her hair and casting spells with a wand? That is a mess in my head.
Is it wrong that I kinda hope for "Dlom Royal NOT Pounded in the Butt by the UA-cam Algorithm Because Chuck Tingle Promoted His Video on Twitter and All the Beautiful Watchers and Buckaroos Liked Shared Commented and Subscribed" soon?
Like a bit but it’s the internet you’re safely in the grey zone. And it’s kinda hilarious
If that does happen, should Dom review it?
@@OverlyPositiveFanboy yes. 100% yes.
“Satirical Surreal Erotica” - what a time to be alive.
"absurdist pornography" is about to be my new favourite genre
The Hamilton parody absolutely frigging killed me 😂
Why do you read like you're running out of time?
Thanks, me too
@@ivyparker5617read day and night like ur running out of time
This man literally not only made a sexual orientation inclusion to a parody of Harry Potter but the title to his phantom of the opera parody novel made me silently snickering quietly after first hearing it, Dominic well done good sir you've made my day.
I really wanna read the Harriet Porber series,
As well as the space raptor series,
But I'm kinda afraid of my housemates or grandparents finding one of the books.
@@BramLastname they're published as ebooks only (except his recent, actual novel length horror novel which is traditionally published) so unless your housemates or grandparents are digging through your phone/tablet/computer you should be okay.
@@kaitlyn__L according to the online bookstore they are paperbacks.
I bought the first _Harriet Porber_ book out of curiosity, fully expecting a butt-tonne of unintentional humour. What I got instead was a surprisingly sweet story featuring characters I actually liked (and OK, a few weird sex scenes here and there but that's par for the course). Properly floored me.
As a writer of niche erotica myself I can´t help but have a certain amount of respect for somebody who hammers out that many titles and with so many wild constellations.
Nothing beats Harriet Porber
Yes let Dom enjoy jealous evil motorcycles.
This is the first time I’m hearing of Chuck Tingle, but he already seems like such an iconic figure I’d like and support unironically
Follow him on Facebook. He's a delight, once you get used to his somewhat unusual sentence structure and phrases.
Same! I’d literally never heard of him before, and everything about him and his schtick and attitude fills me with joy!
When I heard Dominic state he wished these books were a little longer, the first thought that popped into my head was "Size Queen"
I like the Tingle persona and the idea of Tingle's work (inclusiveness and acceptance, and I'd heard the quality of writing was good) even though I'm not interested in the "adult literature" angle; his horror novel, Straight, is on my wishlist.
“His horror novel, Straight”
I cannot properly explain how amazingly and hilariously perfect this phrase is. 🤣
STRAIGHT is good. It was my first Tingle novel. I'm practically vibrating in anticipation for his new one.
It is extremely funny that he writes gay erotica and breaks the formula with a horror novel called Straight
He also has a compilation of ace and aro novels which I would highly recommend
@@_gremlinboy it's a thoughtful commentary honestly.
I may not be into erotica but I respect Mr Tingles bombastic imagination for some of these story ideas, that I cannot help but feel inspired. :D
Dom’s really doing everything he can to avoid Twilight isn’t he?
"I would like to see some stories told from the perspective of the gay affluent horny dinosaur at one point"
... I don't read this kind of thing but I agree, that as a POV character is just something that would sell me.
as an ace queer person, I adore chuck tingle. I'm glad that you were at least amused by what you found in his work
I love that he's made ace tinglers to make sure we're included. He's just the most wholesome guy on the internet
@@KaitieKudara OK, genuine 100% sincere question: what is ace porn even like? I'm having a hard time grokking that one.
@@jasonblalock4429 Well, just because someone is ace, doesn't mean they don't like sex; it just means they don't experience sexual attraction. They can still enjoy the physical sensations, and they can still feel horny in a more general sense (rather than horny for a specific individual).
@@jasonblalock4429 lots and lots of consent and boundary talk and I absolutely adore it. Insecurity. Makes me cry cause I'm apparently a softie for all that. 10/10.
@@jasonblalock4429 I've read only two of his Ace tinglers, but there's no porn. Just two people who enjoy each other's company having a nice day out and acknowledge that they don't need sex to make them happy.
The aroace tingler is a series of romantic comedy tropes coming at the characters who want nothing to do with it (it's one of his more meta ones and handled great despite the bad summary)
Oh this is gonna be fun
Edit: you read 51 of these books? You are a hero. Kate and Il Neige are also amazing, just wanted to point that out.
I *really* hope this isn't an r/wooosh on my part, but I think it's a reference to the song he's referencing from the musical Hamilton.
@@MagicalMedic Ye, its a Hamilton reference, given all the numbers match up.
how do you read like you're running out of time? :P
"The fetishes are played straight and used for humor but are never the butt of the joke," eh? Alright, Dom, I see you.
"There was way more variety in these stories than I would have thought possible. Each brought a little something different to the table before having sex on it" This line has be wheezing
A few things:
A friend of mine wrote a stage play combining 3 of Chuck’s stories.
My fiancé was the puppeteer of the flying butt mentioned in Pounded In the Butt By My Own Butt.
I got to play a Unicorn Butt Cop.
We performed the play in front of Chuck and hundreds of Convention goers.
Chuck was really fun and nice.
I really enjoyed this video.
Ok, this was probably one of the most horrifyingly hilarious episodes you've ever done. As an asexual, I'm dry heaving at the laundry list of bizarre sexual forms, but I'm also weirdly respecting this guy's attitude and work ethic.
Pretty sure Dr Tingle has at least one tingler about asexual character(s?) too! =) Sorry I can't remember the title right now =S
As a fellow ace, I really enjoyed "Absolutely No Thoughts Of Pounding During My Fun Day With This Kind T-Rex Because I'm Aromantic And Asexual And That's A Wonderfully Valid Way Of Proving Love Is Real" because of how meta it gets at the end (and it's just fun)
Fun fact: he has a whole subsection called "No Sex Tinglers" about not having sex for various reasons and two of them ('Not Pounded In The Butt By My Book "Not Pounded In The Butt By Anything And That's Okay" And That's Okay' and 'Absolutely No Thoughts Of Pounding During My Fun Day With This Kind T-Rex Because I'm Aromantic And Asexual And That's A Wonderfully Valid Way Of Proving Love Is Real") being about explicitly asexual characters who get very sweet stories and varying levels of meta validation instead of any sex. His first attempt, "Not Pounded In The But By Anything And That's Okay' does some fun stuff with breaking the expectations of set ups from his other works for the explicitly asexual main character, but ymmv more with that one
I'm quite positive one of Chuck Tingle's next books is going be about a three-way between a UA-camr and the Like and Subscribe buttons and you can't change my mind!
Chuck Tingle is one of my personal heroes. A bunch of reactionaries (I thank they called themselves the Sad Puppies, which is ironic) voted some of his books for the Hugo Award in protest of LGBT and POC authors that were being nominated. But it ended up blowing up in their face because Chuck used this platform to speak for LGBT and POC. I don't get awestruck much, but I'm pretty sure I'd be speechless if I ever met Mr. Tingle. God bless you, you beautiful bastard.
Also his titles are the Western equivalent of Isekai titles. Not sure why I put it here, i guess throwing that into me legitimately talking about my intense respect for him as a human being would be weird.
EDIT: Just realized Dom mentioned it. Ignore me and my dumbass
You do know the Puppies nearly ended the Hugo Awards.
The real story is. The Sad Puppies were created to break the effective monopoly that the big publishers like Tor books had on the Hugo awards. They wanted to stop seeing all the nominations go to stories that were published by the big publishers. The ball really got rolling after the Sad Puppies managed to get a Native American video game designer and part time Author from small publisher a nomination he didn’t want. The Dragon con staff and a conspiracy of political activists they aligned with harassed the author for receiving the nomination and gloating at him for failing to win. The harassment was ignored until they accused him of gaming the system to get the nomination a slap in the face of his profession for designing and cheating game systems. He usurped the Sad Puppies and created the Rapid Puppies. With their gay members leading the tip of spear and backed by the author’s friends the Evil legion of Evil and using the same tactics as the activists. (driving the leaders of the Sad puppies to quit in disgust ending the Sad Puppies) They ran amok for two years (nominating Space Raptor Butt Invasion was to show how effective they manipulated the system) and on the third year they nearly ended Dragon con using the most destructive weapon they had.
They simply stopped.
Than just watched as the convention was almost cancelled as the activists attacked each other in their religious rage over the misgendering of a single author on a pamphlet. It was also the same year that new rules were implemented to stop them and broke the near monopoly of the big publishers. Leading to the disbanding of the Rabid Puppies.
With their goals achieved and they enjoy their victory.
I’ve never even heard of this author but I don’t regret hearing some of these stories lmao. Goddamn this is just gold
Regardless of whether or not he's a good writer, my day is better for having seen these book covers and hearing those book names.
If I could have Dom read Chuck Tingle novel titles forever, I'd be in heaven.
About halfway through the video, it dawned on me that there would be a song at the end. Not gonna lie, I am in such a good mood now!
Only somebody like Dom could make me actually interested in reading some of this author’s work. Dom’s open-minded willingness to appreciate a piece’s merits regardless of subject, and commitment to his personal standards of inclusivity and ethics, make for opinions that feel somehow more genuine and trustworthy than most book reviews. Throw in a hefty dollop of humor and voila! You get a creator whose videos I will interrupt any other video for.
Don't forget the butt puns!
I remember some guys read the first half* of Alien Raptor Butt Invasion on a podcast, and it really amazed me how Chuck Tingle could cram that much information on such short text. It takes just minutes to read but it gives you a clear picture of the astronaut's personality and how lonely his life is in the station.
*first half here means from the beginning untill the parragraph before sex start
Do you remember what podcast?
@@noname-kx4cu sadly, no. I don't remember
Holy shit i just remembered some UA-camr Reading sth similar
I love the Hugo story (the real one, not the books that came out of it). The organization had to reformat their voting structure to prevent stunts like this from happening again.
Honestly, i just like the fact that Chuck Tingle trolled the Sad Puppies folks And I like to think he put them to an end.
I hate to burst your bubble but look up Vox Dai. Sadly, the Puppy mess is now screwing over comics.
@@griffenspellblade3563 That's comicsgate and Vox is too far even for them.
Although Joe Bennett did go their recently. Luckily they are considered a joke by most People.
It's just the comicsgate crowd are assholes
@@crazysnas181 SO you haven't heard that Vox Dai started a right wing comic line? That there is a Q-Anon hero?
@@griffenspellblade3563 I don't think they have much to do with the Hugo awards
Anyway, wasn't Vox part of a different Puppies group At the Hugo awards?
I know he has been trying to do his comic stuff, but i don't think he has been that successful so far
You briefly, accidentally said "Ice Cream Clone" and now I very much want a story based on this concept.
"I'm not a villain, I'm vanilla!"
"Admit it--you're twisted!"
"Hello there!" (in case they're an ice cream clone trooper)
That's actually pretty cool to find out he's a good writer :D I've always got the vibe he's someone who has a lot of fun with what he does
AND A HAMILTON REFERENCE ON TOP OF OF IT? I love you Dom, I love you so much TT
Standing O!!
@cak01vej Oh it's because I write like I need it to survive
@cak01vej Read day and night like you're running out of time?
Strangeaeons does a review of Harriet porber, highly recommend.
Oh, really? I gotta catch up on her stuff. I loved her videos on the Christian Harry Potter books.
I didn’t know I needed a sincere evaluation of Dr. Tingle’s writing prowess, but here it is and I’m positively delighted.
These genuinely sound like a lot of fun! I'll have to put Dr. Tingle on my To Read list (right after the Ice Planet Barbarians 😏😂)
Legit chuck tingle is actually a good author its wild
Calling the epic where the hero gets together with his own butt a 'tiny-ass book' cracked me up so hard that I almost suffocated on my chips. X'D
i one hundred percent believe that chuck tingle is secretly a really famous author like neil gaiman or some shit who was just fucking around at first but found this ridiculously fun and just kept going lol
He wrote a pretty serious horror novel called "Straight" which is good. I haven't read any of his other works but "Straight" was not what I was expecting. He definitely has real chops.
"Why does he write like he's running out of time?" *Hums in Hamilton*
I just love how they're, while short, actual books. Like you said it's not just the same story over and over with the different creatures replaced they are all original stories.
It's just so incredible.
I haven't read any yet but just knowing they exist fills me with joy.
So erotica writers like to crank it out, huh
out!
That Hamilton reference at the end made me unreasonably happy
"That was an interesting afternoon."
I feel like this is most people's reaction 😂😂😂 I haven't read any of these books (yet) but I'm thrilled whenever one of my favorite UA-camrs discovers them.
amazing use of the song to illustrate the process behind this humongous task, that was quite neat.
also, i thought this video would be a cop out when i saw it in my feed but turned out to be one of dominic's best ones, dang.
My brain is actively melting just listening to these summaries.
Thank you for spending so much compassionate time with Mr. Tingle's work. I have an English degree from a fancy university, read and write about dense texts, and have a non-ironic joy for these stories. It's nice to have a figuratively soft place to fall, both as a reader, and as a Twitter user who follows Chuck Tingle on that site. I'm a happy Buckaroo who very much appreciates your channel.
Love the video! Chuck Tingle is absolutely absurd and it's always fun seeing what different people take away from his work!
Tho, I was unaware it was humanly possible to read 51 books in two weeks haha
I love Chuck Tingle. I haven't read any of his books myself but I listened to Mark Oshiro read some of them. Space Raptor Butt Invasion was absolutely hilarious.
That was also my introduction to the brilliance that is Chuck Tingle! :-)
How did Dom know I'm on my Grail quest?👑⚔🏹🛡🏆
Given the outlandishness of the stories while at the same time having good enough characters in bizarre scenarios with decent representation, and the long titles sounding lik light novels.
I assume h is a lighnovel, manga and anime fan.
Okay, I don't think I'll ever see a funnier title for ANYTHING than "Pounded in the Butt by the Handsome Physical Manifestation of Tromp's Twitter Ban That Should've Come Sooner But Fine Now That It's Here Hive Five"
Y'all should also watch Strange Æons' video on one of Chuck Tingle's books, it's fucking hilarious
My favorite Tingler is the one with a sentient tide pod who runs a remote carwash while hiding to not get eaten. As Dom says, it's silly but it's played mostly straighforward. It may culminate in lovemaking between a man and detergent but it ends on a comment about persecution and the need to feel loved.
Also the way he uses the phrase "call of the lonesome train" to refer to the darker parts of ones psyche to avoid using negative labels or triggering words. Chuck always tries his best and trots along like a true buckaroo.
I don't know, his books are funny though. And his collab with the sleep with me podcast was a strange way to drift off to sleep
I can save myself the whole video and just say "yes". Still, gonna watch because I want to hear your thoughts on this madlad
I can only imagine that the second JK Rowling hit the ground as a super terf, Chuck felt it in his heart before reading about it, comically fell to his knees and shouted "MY TIME HAS COME!!!" to the heavens
I just finished Tingle's Camp Damascus and had to come back to this video. Regardless of your opinion when he's being really bizarre and abstract, I can now confirm he's fantastic when he's not being those things too. It was fantastic, it might just make you cry.
Yes, without question, Tingle is a good writer.
I loved the writing on this review and the end credit song is just brilliant :D
I'm happy that you still have that 'penguins steal my sanity' t-shirt
I was happy to see the shoutout to Rantasmo here - I play dnd with Rantasmo every week. 😁 Love both his & Dom’s videos about Chuck Tingle, lol
Thank you for bringing this back to my attention. There was a Goodreads review that went something like, "I was having a bad day so I read this during lunch at work and it made me laugh and the dinosaur with abs had a weirdly touching story" and I felt this was probably the exact target demo.
I love your videos, I hope you are having an excellent day (the same goes to anyone reading this), and I love the parody songs at the end they're so fun.
I missed your cats though (mostly joking but also they're so cute omg)
I appreciated the change of background with each "book" discussion. The baseball park made me humorously think "play for the other team".
He is a very very very interesting person and I love that I know about him!
I love you so much for doing this in addition to everything else you do.
Also, now I think I need to read Chuck Tingle. He sounds awesome.
This was truly magical. Thank you for introducing me to this hero of a man!
I have never been here before. I have no idea how this video came up in my recommended list. How did I end up in this place? The honest analytical style made me interested enough to keep listening, desipte my utter confusion. Finally, by 8:43 I literally fell down laughing out loud. The delivery, the sincerity, and the sweetly adorable and completely new (to me) subject matter finally trickled through. While I'm still a bit baffled, I am having a good time. Thanks for the content!
This was such a joyful video!
I love that he even has a book called "Not Pounded in the Butt by Anything and That's Okay."
Much like Garth Marenghi Chuck may well be one of the few authors who has written more books than he's read.
I really didn't expect Hamilton at the end, but brilliant reference, great content, I loved it!
This is amazing and you probably just made my evening. As an aside, nice nail polish! :)
It is starting to sound sound like he found as many pbscure writing prompts as possible and has really found a niche to be creative with them.
“I was surprised by the amount of world-building that Tingle squeezed into this *tiny-ass* story” … I see what you did there 👁👄👁
after all this time I still am delightfully surprise by the ending song! Thank you for that!
I can't tell you how much i love the parody of Non Stop for the end credits. Loved the video!
Chuck addressed in a tweet that non con in that book. It's not for sale anymore.
the Hamilton reference at the end came outta nowhere and I kinda loved it
Thank you for this review. I will probably never read one of Chucks books myself, but what he does is highly amusing and he just must be an awesome guy who has learned not to give a flip and simply enjoy what he is doing. More power to him! I'm smiling so much at this right now.
Il neige's final song parody killed me, I relistened to it three times in a row. Dominic read the other 51!
