Garfield Minus Garfield

Izulde · 03-23-2008, 10:50 PM

Some Garfield comic strips removing Garfield and his dialogue.

The end result... is hilarious!

I've seen these before, but I really don't understand what's funny about them, even a little bit.

TredWel · 03-23-2008, 11:18 PM

I think I saw this somewhere before. Wasn't there one where they just cut out Garfield's thought bubbles?

Out of the entire Garfield critical subculture that has bubbled to the surface over the past few years, I've found Lasagna Cat to be the funniest and most creative.

Fonzie · 03-23-2008, 11:44 PM

I'm honestly astonished at how funny those are.

whew....i thought i was the only one who didn't find the humor in this crap.

Kodos · 03-24-2008, 08:33 AM

Not particularly funny...

MikeVic · 03-24-2008, 09:06 AM

This was posted in the "Terrible but funny..." thread awhile ago. Some of them are eh, but some of them are really funny.

I'm laughing out loud at these.

KWhit · 03-24-2008, 11:22 AM

I didn't laugh a single time at those.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-24-2008, 11:52 AM

IT'S SUCH A SAD COMMENTARY ON JON ARBUCKLE'S LIFE

WHAT IF GARFIELD ISN'T REAL

WHAT IF JON IS IMAGINING HIM

AND HALF OF YOU GUYS LAUGH AT POOR JON

I HOPE YOU HAVE AN IMAGINARY CAT SOMEDAY

MJ4H · 03-24-2008, 11:55 AM

how will i know if i do

Subby · 03-24-2008, 11:58 AM

Of course those are hilarious and of course you are a fucking dumbass peckerwood if you think otherwise.

Anthony · 03-24-2008, 12:23 PM

THESE JUST AREN'T FUNNY.

please stop causing problems.

Passacaglia · 03-24-2008, 12:25 PM

Garfield and Friends Minus Garfield would be pretty cool. Those farm animals or whatever were funny.

Kodos · 03-24-2008, 12:49 PM

Odie and Lyman deserve a spinoff strip.

MJ4H · 03-24-2008, 12:50 PM

Yeah I've seen these before and don't really find them funny.

It's just funny to see Jon acting like some crazy wackjob, pretending there is someone there to talk to, but there isn't. It is funnier than non captioned Garfield because it is more amusing that he's talking to no one than him talking to his cat and expecting him to answer back.

Swaggs · 03-24-2008, 01:08 PM

I'd rate it as occasionally funny.

I disagree. Garfield w/o thought bubbles & "Realfield" (above) are funnier because they are true to the comic strip--Garfield's "speech" is always presented in thought bubbles so, even in the reality of the strip, Jon wouldn't actually be aware of what Garfield is saying/thinking. It's not changing the events as they happen in the strip at all.

st.cronin · 03-24-2008, 01:47 PM

I think people are just remembering laughing at Garfield comics when they are 8, and because the presentation is different, it seems like new humor. Its like an optical illusion for the mind, tricking you into thinking something is funny when really its not.

Ksyrup · 03-24-2008, 03:19 PM

Hit or miss. Marmaduke Explained is way better.

korme · 03-24-2008, 03:25 PM

I think the addition of the normal cat is kind of funny if you think about it. I didn't really laugh at any of them (and I did at the removed Garfield ones), but it's just funny to think about it being serious.

Anthony · 03-24-2008, 03:26 PM

it's the same joke over and over. we get it - he's talking to himself.

jeff061 · 03-24-2008, 04:02 PM

I thought these were hysterical, every one of them. But HA has convinced me otherwise.

Greyroofoo · 03-24-2008, 04:12 PM

I busted out laughing at some of them.

MJ4H · 03-24-2008, 04:16 PM

I don't think they are funny, but it is ok with me if some of you do.

sooner333 · 03-24-2008, 04:31 PM

I don't get it.

JeeberD · 03-24-2008, 04:36 PM

I've enjoyed the vast majority of these that I've seen, particularly the Gw/oG...

MikeVic · 03-24-2008, 04:42 PM

The pants one gets me rolling. Why did he get wide eyes when he looked down??

Lathum · 03-24-2008, 06:12 PM

I didn't find these even remotely funny

I think Jon killed him after a lovers' quarrel.

Garfield Minus Garfield is gold, but loses a few points in this corner for being late to the Garfield Parody Blog party.

Marmaduke Explained still kicks ass, though.

Schmidty · 03-24-2008, 09:16 PM

I like them. Some of them make me laugh at Jon's insane, pathetic life.

I like how he looks bonkers in a number of them.

Calis · 03-24-2008, 09:48 PM

I'm not sure they qualify as hilarious, but I do find them creepy and slightly amusing. It is easy how disturbing a simple removal like that makes the entire strip.

This is even more disturbing, and is just pulled from the strip.

http://garfieldisdead.ytmnd.com/

I believe it was just a Halloween storyline Davis did for the strip, but without knowing that the first time I was linked to this I thought it was pretty jacked up.

Yep. Crazy, nutjob Jon Arbuckle talking to himself amuses me.

Garfield is one of the most horrible comics ever and that makes these extremely funny to me. This is brilliant.

Exackalackaly. I never ever thought Garfield was funny, even as a kid. I laughed out loud at a couple of those without Garfield.

You know, I watched this last night and thought nothing much of it. But then when I tried falling asleep, it kept playing over and over in my head! What the hell!
