In case you haven’t seen it, random lady Candace Payne now dubbed “Chewbacca Mom” made a video of herself trying on her brand new Chewbacca mask and laughed so uncontrollably that it became an instant viral video sensation:
Come on. That mask is cool. It is a marvel of modern engineering that we have masks now that can make you sound like Chewbacca.
I watched this video and my naturally skeptic self wondered, “Hmm. Is she really that happy? Did she really find this that funny? Was all that laughing just to up the video’s silliness factor?”
No. Not at all. Clearly she really is that happy and I now envy her as I’m one of those people who can’t find that much joy in the smallest of things.
And she even ended up on the Late Late Show with James Corden and met JJ Abrams:
So here’s to you, Chewbacca Mom.
Your nerdyness inspires us all, and that’s saying a lot, seeing as how this is a blog run by a nerd for 3.5 readers.
