Nope, never seen it before. But are those just lousy voice actors or is the recording just too messy because I really can't tell what they're saying in it. I think if there's a joke, I'm missing it because I can't understand the mumbling.

[magintz]

err yea i agree, is this meant to be funny or something? To me it just sounds like a bunch of mumblings with the word juggernaut and b**ch slapped in there sometimes.

It's an attempt to achieve the humor of the GI Joe PSAs, but it fails because it's too long, isn't silly, is too mumbly, and is boring.

Here is something that is a edit from the original (like juggernaut), is a new idea (at least when I saw it), and was actually funny. The basic idea is just to edit out all of garfield's lines, usually from short, 3-image strips.

I feel very stupid right now, but I don't get the funny part in either the video or the strips. yet I don't think editing Garfield strips is very new idea, just to mention.

[biothlebop]

Maybe the editing strips thing isn't a new idea, more of the reducing to it's elements is (I have seen strips earlier that replace dialogue with cursewords and one-liners about assfucking and drugs or photoshop them so every character has a pistol in their hands).
What I see as funny in them is the use of empty space and the zen-feeling they get when they are not cluttered with thought bubbles. Sometimes it's the fact that Garfield seems so unmoved by anything Jon has to say, otherwise it's how it warps the humour of a specific strip (like in the following), making it really offbeat and strange (surreal) when everything doesn't fit in it's place.


However, I don't think you will understand what I think is so funny in these or what someone else does by over-analyzing them. I believe they have to be read at a slow pace, looking at the expressions of the characters, and they might open.

Guess I am the only one who finds that video funny.  I don't really get the garfield strips.  It tries to play on that "well nothing is happening so it must be funny" thing.  But it's not

They're doing a tag team staring at Jon to beg for food (or win a staring game...)

Garfield is more a "cute" kind of funny rather than something that would induce copious laughter.

Eh, the Juggernaut video is good for a chuckle.  I think I laughed until I turned red for the first 30 seconds only, mostly because of the absurdity of it all and the voices, not just what they were saying.

The "actors" had to have either been bored, high, or severely lit in order to do this .
