marcel the shell with shoes on

Yesterday, several of my Twitter friends were conversing using strange hashtags like #marcellattheclub and #marcelleatplay. It took me a few minutes to realize they were talking about Marcel, the protagonist from the stop motion video “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On” by Dean Fleischer-Camp and SNL’s Jenny Slate.

Check it out (and make sure your speakers are on):

How can you not love a shell that wears pink sneakers, serves salad to guests from upstate, has a pet dog made of lint and truly likes himself.

    As one of your twitter friends, glad to see you found our hijinks amusing. Marcel’s quiet genius stirred us up, for sure. Now, excuse me while I watch it for the 17th time.
