Le Cookies Are Ready
Learn how to make my favorite high protein cookies! Its easy and quick.
For those of you wondering what/who I am poking fun at, its Jeff Seid and his insufferable attitude in this video. Jeff, you owe me for the views :) Yes, I am channeling my inner Zoolander. Zoolander is one of my favorite films of all time.
Am I jealous of Jeff Seid? He has one of the most remarkable physiques for a 19 year old that has ever existed. In his 4 years of lifting he has surpassed what took me 30 years of lifting to achieve but am I jealous? No, not at all. Having that amount of fame, attention, and bloated ego at age 19 would have completely changed the path of my life forever .. and I dont think for the better. Being a lanky teen who was always chosen last when teams were picked in PE class made me very grounded and humble. It also allows me to relate to people much more than Jeff will ever be able to. I have good genetics but not great. It took lots and lots of time and decades of struggle for me to make my gains. I love fitness. I love sports. I love the way exercise makes me feel, the energy it gives me, and how it makes me feel better about myself. The exterior shell you see is just a fringe benefit, not the primary goal of my lifting.
Why did I do this video, other than the obvious fact that it was April Fools day? Well, you know I worry about teens self-confidence. This is the reason I have pushed so hard over the years to set peoples bodybuilding expectations at achievable levels to keep teens from labeling themselves as inferior “hardgainers” when they are infact either normal or have good genetics. As I mention above, when I was in high school I was an outcast. Reasonably smart but awkward, shy, and completely lacking in self confidence. Although many teens put on an act and appear confident, many have just as low of self esteem as I had. For some teens, its even worse, and borders on depression. So how does this relate to Jeff? Well, if you watched his video you will have to agree that he sends the ” I am SO fabulous and you are NOT” message and thats the last thing that teens need to hear. Teens need help boosting their confidence, they dont need to hear how fabulous Jeff’s life is and how he drops a couple of thousand on his website like it was candy money. Everyone, even “losers”, have hidden talents that they just need to find. Trouble is, Jeff’s talents are right out there in your face and he doesnt even realize he is rubbing salt in the wounds of hundreds of thousands of teens. A little bit of humble and compassion for those not so blessed as himself would go a long way were he to apply it. The purpose of this video is to give him a gentle reminder of this.

It has come to my intention that Jeff’s dog died recently, this was completely unknown to me at the time I wrote the script for this video. I myself am an incredible animal lover and our animals are part of the family, they are not pets. I grieve with him in the loss of his dog and had I known I certainly would not have included that line in the video.

As a teacher, I totally agree with that. The Young need realistic expectations and you do it well.
This video is really interesting if you take time to read Scooby’s goals. I must admit that, working with children and teenagers, the kind of reminder here is valuable. Thanks for breaking the myth and false expectations the Young are likely to see. I’m also practicing sport with the kids and I think Scooby made me consider that in my practice.
sorry i dont understand- why u dont say honest that he takes steroids . i am sure that.
You just given me a heart attack of laughter. Now I need to jog to fix that!
Scooby, that was just a waste of protien powder! D:
Scooby, please steer clear of any gasoline fights! Good job channeling your inner Zoolander. Great movie, although Mystery Men is my favorite Ben Stiller flick.
unlimited respect for scooby…hello from greece dude
I didn’t really have depression in high school, but I had no self confidence. I was quite intelligent and had plenty of friends, but never felt deserving. I was also completely wrong about my body as well. I never caught on about how to eat right and exercise until I was in my mid 20s, I thought I was doomed with bad genetics. Nice blog post.
We just got to love you for everything you do for us, not just teens, but everybody! You are a …you’re just great :).
Yes that video you poke healthy fun at is unbelievably yuccky! Pure vomit material!
Scooby, your approach was all wrong. People who behave like Jeff Seid, trying to show others how great they are, actually have low self-esteem.
This is so appropriately funny.
Truly Scooby Werkstatt is our hero.
Nothing less than natty.
He’s the hero /fit/ needs right now, but not the one we
deserve. So we’ll mire him because he can take it.
He is a silent guardian, a watchful protector… A NATTY KNIGHT
I was always picked last as well and now all my friends tell me im one of the kindest and wisest people they know. You’ll never develop any character flying around to model and being told you’re better than everyone else. No pain, no gain…. and I don’t just mean in the gym. You’re an inspiration scoobs. You’re my guru I’ve never met. Thank you Scooby
Hilarious video Scoob! FYI: It’s Les* Cookies (pronounced L+ the vowel sound in the word bet) .Les is the plural form of definite article Le.
Got it, still cant pronounce it :)
Everyone who has been lifting seriously for some time knows how unrealistic Jeff’s body without steroids is. I’m not jealous at him, I could have done that myself if I wanted to. But I highly denounce him for claiming to be natural because he just isn’t!
I didnt even venture into that territory. I just wanted to poke a bit of fun at him for his “I am SO fabulous and you are not” attitude.
Hahahaha good stuff Scooby! Thanks for the laugh
I’d like to have obliques like him, and his hair.
I’m wokring on the obliques.
COOKIES! Me want cookies. Gimme cookies. Om nom nom nom nom.
Hahaha! Scooby, I love your site, I love your videos, and I love the interaction you have with your fans & viewers. Thanks for everything, keep it up!
EDIT: “And shit like that”, ha!
gooby you are my natty overlord and after this video my seids left to mars. i love you <3 n-no homo
i love shit like that
Terrific video Scooby! I had no idea it was your reflection in a mirror until your hands came in from the side. I busted out laughing!
Ugh, I can’t believe I actually watched that whole video (Jeff Seid’s video, not yours Scooby). I’ll give him credit for being in great shape – but what a dope!
He will be fine when he matures a bit, he is a just a teen caught up in his own whirlwind of success. My guess is that in a decade or so he will come down to earth. I think he is probably a really nice person who doesnt realize how his “I am so fabulous and you are not” attitude affects his teen viewers. Being a teen is tough enough without having someone like Jeff reminding them every day of how they dont have one millionth of what he does. He mentions dropping a few thousand on a website and being flown around the world for photoshoots as if it were as common as reading the newspaper, its not, he lives a charmed life.
“Lots of protein and shit like that.” – Genius!
>”and sh*t like that”
>talking into the mirror
>”let’s add some protein powder”
>throwing the scoops of dough into the tray
>”LE COOKIES ARE READY!”
>cookies on fire
My seids!
I must thank Jeff for all the material he provided me for this video!
If I were kidnapped and only allowed access to one website I would choose this one!
so funny!
The “and shit like that” phrase you kept repeating had me cracking me up!
Couldn’t stop laughing! I hope you do this again sometime! Or try topping it next year. I’m going to have laughs for the rest of the night now lol thanks Scooby <3
I had a lot of help from some special friends on this script!
Tony Kushner?
scooby, I understand you were attempting to put some humor into your channel, but you don’t have to act like this to be a bit more humorous. Your videos ARE humorous with the occasional jokes here and there, and this video seems a bit too try-hard. Remember scooby, your fame is based on the hard-work people have seen you do, not your comedy.
Keep up the muscle videos!
Its april1st, dont I get a hall-pass?
let the dude have some fun. he puts all his own money and time into these vids he can do what he wants imo
Yeah, plus i hear the video cost Scooby a couple of grand.
LMAO!! What were you smoking Scoob?
Can I get one of those Le Cookies?? I tink day spacial…
what other ingredients have you experimented with? like milk or vanilla extract… idk normal cookie ingredients
