Lately I’ve been a little worried that my creepy, old-lady crush on Michael Cera (star of Superbad, which opens today, and which Vulture has dubbed “the greatest movie of all time”) is starting to become a problem. I take some comfort in the knowledge that I’m not the only one. In her Salon review of Superbad, Stephanie Zacharek called Cera a “gangly sweetheart”; Carina Chocano described his performance as “surreally loveable.”

But that’s nothing compared to the clip above. It’s the creation of YouTube user ilovemichaelcera, who appears to be a teenage girl named Allison. Allison’s synopsis of this clip, her sole contribution to the YouTube canon, reads as follows: “i love him watch trhis dont be disturbed.” Allison packs so much into 28 seconds that it’s hard to isolate a favorite part, although I’ve now watched it ten times in the last ten minutes, and the part where Allison puts her head on Cera’s TV cousin/paramour’s body cracks me up every time. Allison, honey — I’m not disturbed. I wish I was.
