Who’s actually 50 here?

This weekend, my infinitely-younger-and-cooler-than-I-am parents bought a Sony Bravia HD Television and a Nintendo Wii. You know, just a little something to treat themselves.

This weekend, I bought doggy seat-belts and yogurt that makes you poop.

Sigh.

Allie: Thanks doll!

Heather: YES! Back me up on the ‘washroom’ word!

Bleutrumpet: Oh my dear, it’s not my accent that makes me sound awkward.

Bleutrumpet April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Lol, your accent! Haha, its cute though.
Sounds a bit awkward. I’d pretend I couldn’t hear….or start singing along! You guys could be the next new hit! But you didn’t sing along, so now you’ll never know. ;-)

A)You’re adorable AND entertaining. Glorious!

B)I say washroom. ^__^

You are so cute! The outtake was fabulous!

I loved it. And yes, I heard the doggie chase.

I don’t really hear an accent. Hmmm.

And…I agree with Elisabeth…who says “washroom?”

okay, i was totally waiting for your to say that the singing pee’r was children’s author extraordinaire, robert munsch!

i don’t hear the accent either … but then again, i probably sound just like you being as we live in the same city and all.

I love you more than ever.

So much, in fact, that after following your blog for months now, I am FINALLY posting a comment.

I actually thought about writing a comedy or something about bathrooms talks…but the thing is I’m not a comic, so I would have wasted the whole topic.
It’s so cool, I don’t know if you have an accent or not, but it’s super clear to me, I understand you perfectly..I should stop trying to sound British and absorbing American English via skype by talking to bloggers…Instead..I’ll start speaking Canadian English! (No, I’ll just keep having the accent I have, but still, yours is cool)

The v-log was great.
The cuteness factor will spill over into retail soon…I’m sure you’ll be an option in the next Build-A(non-, I’m guessing)-Bear workshop…

As for relating a story of a man doing “Scat” in a bathroom…um…um…wow!

Jamie April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Bathroom stories are the creepiest. This one included.

Who sings in the bathroom???

Cute vlog, though! :)

Aw, you’re adorable!

People don’t talk to me in public bathrooms. It may be because I carry a machete in there after seeing “Scary Movie 2,” but hey…

Nice to put a face and voice to the words.

Emily April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

ok you are crazy adorable. now i see why everyone wants to hump your leg at blog meetups and such.

and thank you for pronouncing it VLOG as one word and not V-LOG because clearly the latter is wrong.

(but it was worth it considering it made you say the word vagina. LOVE it.)

Mel April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

god i love you.

ok – not really! :D but you are cute.

with-oot…awesome. :)

Aw you’re cute Ben!

Sorry, I figured I had to say it. And no, I’m not jealous.

Kate April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

In defense of singing in the bathroom? Um. I can’t go if I think someone’s listening to me. I seriously can’t. Ever. So I hum and little potty song so I can get the job done. But I’ve never stopped and said, “Interesting.” while doing it. And my Gay Boyfriend can’t say vagina. You are clearly more mature.

Summer April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

I could just sop you up with a biscuit! Seriously.

I’m not sure if watching that *blog* in my Reader messed things up, but your voice was off track with the movement of your lips. Kinda like a Asian Action Flick. Only you’re not Asian and the action wasn’t on screen. Nevertheless, you are still a cutie pie!

I reaaaally hate when people talk on the phone in the bathroom. One of my coworkers was talking to her boyfriend about his son ditching school and I’m like “Look lady, I’m trying to ditch breakfast here, so if you could hang up, I’d be really happy.”

And you’re just the cutest thing ever but I started watching your other videos and I’m coming to steal Calvin and Theo.

Reply

Elisabeth April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Also, who says washroom?

Reply

Cal April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

You do realize you managed to say “vagina” and “munch” in the same vlog, right? Impressive, funny, and a little bit disturbing, all at the same time. Ha!
Being from MN I tend to do the “ooot” thing too but apparently everyone here thinks it is adorable so I might have to start embracing it :)

I *never* giggle before my coffee…and I believe I just did.

Marie April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Every time I feel like I’m going to smack someone at work, I’m just going to watch this video. So I can giggle instead.

Next time can you also please get a shot of the pups? Although you are tremendously adorable, they are, um, just a tad bit cuter.

paul April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

I love the self-depricating subtitles! It’s almsot as though the puppies stole your video and added them in to mock you.

Reply

Kellie April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

God you are cute. And I love the subtitles! Thank you very munch! :)

Rachel April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

The Colbert lines as you talk? perfect

“Tweeting?”

What program do you use to edit your videos? Please don’t say a Mac program….

Amanda April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Why do people think it’s OK to strike up bathroom conversations, because really, it never ever is!

And your face at the end was 10 kinds of adorable.

Reply

Sara April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

I will never understand people who want to chat it up in the bathroom. I refuse to use the multiple person bathroom at my work, I use the single person one to make sure no one talks to me. This girl just wants to pee in peace!

Belle Ecrivaine April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

The flubbed line face is totally my fave “Ben looks adorable” face. Now I’m curious as hell as to what was so interesting to bathroom stall guy.

eastcoastbychoice April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Thanks for the morning giggle, Ben. It was a great way to start my morning.

Reply

Jaime April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm

Let me just go ahead and say that I HATE when people talk to me in the bathroom. People who wouldn’t normally even LOOK at me outside the walls of the potty room, they start talking to me like I’m their best friend.

It makes me wicked uncomfortable.

PS – You said vagina! *giggles*

Julian-Courtney April 26, 2010 at 4:30 pm
