He may have been distracted by a grape twice as large as he is, but the extremely adorable Jenny Slate-voiced "Marcel the Shell with Shoes on" has returned to the Internet in an all-new adventure.

In the third installment of the "Saturday Night Live" alumna's popular Web series, the tiny cartoon shell throws down some tough truths, even about other tiny creatures.

"Do you want to know what the truth is about shrimps?" Marcel asks director Dean Fleischer-Camp, who also happens to be Slate's husband. "They're the idiots of the sea."

As for a favorite saying, Marcel offers this nugget: "Life's a party. Rock your body." Sound advice.

Marcel also muses about deodorant secrets, spider friendships and, y'know, more grape stuff, before closing with a sweet song that he learned "at camp."

As Slate told David Letterman last week, she started speaking like Marcel when she felt "squooshed" in a motel room she was sharing with Fleischer-Camp and their three friends. The couple made the first Marcel video for their friends, the Internet took notice, and the rest is history.

Can't get enough of Slate? She'll be visiting TODAY this Friday, when she might just improvise a few Marcel lines on the fly. For a primer, check out her June appearance on the show.
