Marcel the Shell and Charlie the Cheez-it

YouTube in not a place of information, but rather a place for  entertainment. The countless YouTube links I see either on people's Facebook walls or on my Twitter feed, attests to the popularity of YouTube. The best thing about it is that it is word of mouth. Once I see a funny video on my mini-feed, of course I am interested and watch it and pass it along to other friends.

Last week I came across a video that could be as big as the Charlie bit my finger video from a few years ago. This one is called Marcel the shell with shoes on. Although as funny as humans can be as we see in the Charlie bit my finger video, there is something about giving human characteristics to random objects like a shell. Throughout the video Marcel walks around and explains all the things he does with his life as a shell. He is cute, but the things he says are very funny as well. After watching Marcel, I saw a link for a friend of his called Charlie the Cheez-It. Charlie, also an object given human characteristics says some pretty funny things as well. His voice is just a little different. Even though some may think that are stupid little videos, some film students are probably living their dream. They have received over 900,000 hits so far.
