LOLbook
A lolcat-style book blurb, such as "I'm in your oceans...", which John made into a contest of its own in the Blurbing Book Club.
Origin on the channel: John likes the runner-up's LOLbook blurb so much that he makes the LOLbook a blurb form of its own and improvises samples for Moby-Dick and Hamlet. — Ruins, LOLBooks, and the Blurbing Book Club 00:02:05
