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.

All right everyone, gather around -- it's time for me to blow out my birthday candles.

Does anyone want to guess what I wished for?

I simply wished for more time to spend with all of you.

Does anyone want to dance? I've put together a really excellent playlist.
Oh, so sorry, didn't mean to bump into you there, I just got really into my moves.

A gift for me? Really, your presence at my party is gift enough.
A new scarf! How perfect.

What's that, you'd like to show me a funny cat video?
Why yes, that is quite humorous.
