Just as well they didn't include Jon or they'd probably have made him the vet and Liz the hapless oddball.

So... if Nermal is an online influencer and talking about "the world's cutest kitten"--does that mean he is doing the Femboy thing? Also... the social media posts including pictures of feet indicate they might know about some stuff online Also also... are we going to not talk about the causal racism towards pigs being entirely accepted in this?

33:10 now that's the Garfield comic I'm interested in.

I have been rewatching this video. It's probably the funniest one you've made in a while. Especially since you included so many hidden jokes in it. Seriously, people, pay attention to the comic pages when they are on screen. Phelous included a lot of dialogue edits that he doesn't always draw attention to. It adds to the rewatchability.

"Welcome my friends...TO PSA HELL!!!!!!" and "THIS COMIC SUCKS!!!!!!"

As usual, Phelous is leagues funnier at adapting Garfield than any of the modern media thats come out in the past 20 years
