'Marcel The Shell' Is Perfect Mix Of Adorable And Hilarious (VIDEO)

Did you ever wonder what a shell keeps as a pet? What it uses for skis? How well it does in a fight? In this equally adorable and hilarious short, "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On," all your questions you never thought to ask will be answered. Directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp and voiced -- without enhancement -- by "Saturday Night Live" cast member Jenny Slate, Marcel will make you wish you had a tiny shell person hanging out in your apartment, using your nail clippings as skis.

lol! what is it with the name Marcel, i wonder? that's my name, of course. and it took me years to master the pronunciation (finally, by 5th grade, i think). and when i greet friends at my house, i have to give a minute introduction about why the place is a mess. ha! and i thought it was just me!

"My Milk Toof" is one of the most endearing and adorable things *ever* created! Check it out. :-)

I didn't think it was very funny until I got to the part, "Sometimes people say that my head is too big for my body, then I say, 'compared to what?'" I don't know why, but that just cracked me up. ;-)
