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
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
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…
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????
@sophiathelen6474 at least its at night lmfao I woke up once to go march for 6 hours in 92 degree heat 😭😭 we got like three fifteen minute breaks and my cymbals were like 20 pounds lmfao
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.
This was such a thoughtful review! I think you really put into words the isolation and excitement of growing up on UA-cam 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
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
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
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.
I never watched Conner Franta, but his book Note to Self is one of my all time favorite reads. The book meant so so much to me when I was going through a hard time in my life. I highly recommend it!
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
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)
So in 2013 or whatever when I made my Instagram bio “I’m probably better at thinking I’m a good photographer than I am at being a good photographer” it turns out I was right, but also I was incredible at 2013 Tumblr photography y’all Thank you Connor Franta for teaching me that
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.
growing up on youtube really changes a person
definitely
real‼️‼️
increases odds of severe mental illness 🥰✨
Still better than growing up on TikTok
shawn is a combination of trisha paytas and princess diana in the most beautiful ways of possibilities
beauty and glamour, etc.
I read that as Shane and thought u were talking about Shane Dawson 😭😭
Wtf 😭 I mean, I can see it, but what- 💀🫶🏼
@@stinky-caca-poopoo same
shawn is so funny i wish he were real
real 😔
o.g. youtuber shawn mccomb award winning memoir coming when???
Obtober 59th, 20666!
inner = onika
child = burgers
One direction will kidnap you if you don’t make another kidnapped by one direction video
😦
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
also it simply speaks for his privilege……
Did Shawn start running because he was convinced the Maze Runner was gonna happen? Had to prepare, I guess 🤷♀️
lol no i was prepared to die haha
I miss when UA-cam was just Harry Potter Puppet Pals, Cat Videos, and Charlie the Unicorn
The royalty free music is anxiety-inducing 😋
00:42 in and the poop jokes are already rolling
wouldn't be shawn if we didn't have poop jokes...
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
BAHAGA I REMEMBER THE CHAPSTICK CHALLENGE BRUUUHHH
shawn i am here to tell you right now,, girls do NOT poop.
🤬
yeah, we shit!
Joey Graceffa was really bringing Shawn out of his bitterness era
the fact that daniel and connor recently had public beef just shows that the girls are alive and relevant as ever 😌😌
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.

discovering porn on facebook at 11 years old is my favorite piece of shawn lore
not including girl online by zoella is EVIL
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????
I’m waiting for the big one to hit and then imma do something special😁
High quality content this is so UA-cam premium worthy
I really don't know how to say this without sounding weird, but the way he holds the books is so aesthetic. Like it makes me so happy lol
Ignoring my chemistry work rn
SAMEE I LITERALLY HAVE CHEM EXAM TMR
@strawberrywitch333 I had mine on Monday and I literally got 19/27 😭😭 she doesnt allow test corrections or retakes either 😃
Omg I'm ignoring my history work. And I have marching band practice tonight. So fun
@sophiathelen6474 at least its at night lmfao I woke up once to go march for 6 hours in 92 degree heat 😭😭 we got like three fifteen minute breaks and my cymbals were like 20 pounds lmfao
i'm currently not studying for a geography final tm
in every new video, i learn that shawn is actually very wise and smart. thank you king so speaking facts 🙏🏻
I grew up in the Swedish UA-cam community, so this is so interesting for me because I don’t know any of them agahah (beside Trisha, icon)
I grew up in Germany, the only thing I've recognised is the music
you're in luck im doing og SWEDISH youtubers next x
Blessing us with two videos within two days; Shawn is soo Mother
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.
i miss prank wars, chubby bunny challenges and og dan and phil tbh
dnp are literally thriving, wdym?
Trisha Paytas and Joey Graceffa walked so Shawn could run
I'm really going through a hard time, watching your videos make me happy :)
:)
Correction: Pinecone, not acorn. lol. Confession: I used to watch Joey (now "Animal Rescuer") play Minecraft on UA-cam. For hours on end. Don't judge.
I wish Fred Figglehorn wrote a book

the most unhinged thing i've seen from shawn is the fact that he edits with a trackpad and not a mouse
shawn = onika
mccomb = burgers
I didn’t expect this video to be heartfelt and emotional when I clicked it. Absolutely loved it
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
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
I hadn’t laughed out loud to a UA-cam video in such a long time. Thanks
when's the Sean Mac Comb autobiography droppingggggg
oh my god the chokehold The Children of Eden series had on me when i was a kid 💀
i now have developed a need for Trisha to have Shawn on her podcast. How can we make this happen?!? 😂😂😂
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.
I'm definitely curious to check out his newer books
I wanna be you when I grow up.
I didn't think a UA-cam book review would be my favourite Mr mccomb video but here we are
I never watched Conner Franta, but his book Note to Self is one of my all time favorite reads. The book meant so so much to me when I was going through a hard time in my life. I highly recommend it!
Shawn 😔 I was really sad and decided to open UA-cam and you just posted, now I’m slightly less sad 😌
shawn i NEED to know if u were a dan and phil kid like this is such crucial information
unfortunately no :( I had friends who were
What an absolute BANGER
Shawn being a Trisha Paytas advocate in 2024 is the sunlight on the green grass of my MIND!!!!
thanks for the video shawn now i have a valid reason to ignore uni work💋
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 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. ♥
SHAWN You should read Joey’s fantasy series Children of Eden 💀💀
Literally
i love your channel sm please dont die ❤
Been feeling down, glad you upload a new vid
I totally get what you’re saying about Trisha. I need to read her book now
need part two with other books actually shawn xx
honestly, looking back at it, social consciousness before 2016 was practically non-existent lol (@ connor franta's book)
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽what can I say you nailed it. I really liked it. You weren’t to hard at all on the criticism.
your mullet is a baackkk
We are getting fed this week ! I don't remember Shawn uplaoding that much.
32:38 is traumatizing
HAHAHGHA
only the 01 babies knowww!!
