You're Invited to Benedict Cumberbatch's Virtual Birthday Party

Benedict Cumberbatch, star of Sherlock and basically everything on Tumblr, turned 37 on Friday. Cue the balloons and confetti. Sadly, though, you're probably not invited to his birthday party.

Luckily, through the magic of GIFs, you can still feel like you were on the guest list. Just stare intently at the screen and believe. And if that doesn't work, line up a marathon of To the Ends of the Earth.

Hello there. Welcome to the celebration.

Please help yourself to a drink, and just leave your coat in the bedroom.
