I've been a fan of Marcel the shell with shoes on forever. I know it's been like over 10 years or something like that. Right? And, um, I used to watch those videos all the time. And what I love about it is if you haven't seen it, all you need to know about it is in the title. It's literally Marcel a shell and he has shoes on and you literally play a shell named Marcel... like, wait, sidebar really quick. I loved when Marcel played taps from his horn, which was a piece of hollow spiral macaroni. And he sleeps in his bread room, which is a bedroom made out of bread, which is fantastic. Bless him.”
