In the event that you somehow didn’t click through yesterday’s post about the new Garfield for OUR generation to wander around the HELLSCAPE that is WendyVainity’s YouTube page, you should really treat yourself! It’s basically like using one of those expensive virtual reality schizophrenia simulators, but for free and in the “comfort” of your own home. That is how reader JCA found this video of Our Garfield’s (that his name now) latest adventure. Jackie wants to take Our Garfield to the vet, but as you know, Our Garfield hates the vet almost as much as he hates Wednesdays. So what he does, and this is hilarious, he scratches Jackie’s eyeballs out, kicks Brodie off the table, and then consumes a military-grade psychotropic pharmaceutical that allows him to enter a shared dream state with us where he attempts to steal our secrets from the dream safe. Our secret, of course, is that we HATE Our Garfield because he TERRIFIES us. Better not let him find that out, though, you know how he gets. Uh oh, there’s Brian Dennehy!
WAIT FOR THE KICK!

This made me wish i had catarachs
Immediately after clicking play, I wanted to put it on paws.
I am litter-ally terrified.
This leaves me feeline shaken to my core
I don’t know, I thought it was purrty good
This is worse than the Santa Claws.
Does this make you feel friskies?
I need to purr-ge this horrible vision from my mind.
Watching this video: frisky business.
It really whiskered me away to another place
Most CGI is either hit or hiss.
I clicked on that video and saw the face of god
don’t look at it, marion! keep your eyes SHUT!
Yikes — remind me not to join your cult.
God wouldn’t allow Moses to look at His face. I guess now we know it’s because He was embarrassed by all that fur.
Burpo?
I do so sincerely hope that no one tries to make a Realfield version of our Garfield.
I prefer Garfield minus Garfield. It represents the solitude of modern life in a striking sense of contemporary absurdity.
that is so beckett
I like it because it’s funny how there’s no Garfield.
This one is my favorite:
This is totally the saddest one. Happy holidays everyone!
I am printing this out and it is going on my door. Count on it.
Garfield as Garfield is good too:
OH GOD I CAN SEE INTO FOREVER
don’t look into the light! DON’T LOOK INTO THE LIGHT! this video is basically the opening of the arc of the covenant in indiana jones. cover your eyes and your privates!
plagiarist commenter! (JK, we good.)
Seriously though, I was going to make a video like this, but then I took my pill.
Wow the menopause is rough
Good GOD. Are these for some sort of animation class? If so, FAIL. Or are they for personal reasons? If so, DOUBLE FAIL.
only if by ‘Fail’ you mean ‘success’
wait–those aren’t real cats?
It’s amazing what they can do with computers these days.
The TRS-80 is an incredible machine.
Meow indeed. Me-ow in-deed.
This song is the soundtrack to my nightmares.
First Holidays Jam of 2010?
Actually fuck that, this should be the Christmas Number One:

Well, that just turned me off Bohemian Rhapsody for life.
It’s weird that they got Robot Rufus Wainright to sing the track! Robots aren’t cheap!
I was definitely on board until the sexual undertones with Nermal kicked in in the third level. Too forced.
Right–the mournful elegy seemed to belie the good times some cats seemed to be having.
That’s your denouement.
I find that this video perfectly captures how I feel on a day to day basis. Also, I am a cat.
i have the strangest urge to kill….. killll… KIIIILLLLLL… and then to build an alter completely out of fancy feast and balls of yarn.
is this normal?
Do not click through to her YouTube page. That is quite possibly the most frightening thing I’ve ever seen.
The page background alone! NIGHTMARES
Sometimes I feel like Gabe is a modern-day Lovecraft, intent on showing us that ignorance is often preferable to knowledge, that we are surrounded by horrors that, if gazed upon directly, will reduce us to gibbering madpersons.
Because WHY ELSE is this cat video before me? WHY ELSE?
My only other theory is that Gabe is a modern day Eldrich abomination who gains strength from our horror and fear.
So? Which is it, Gabriel? WE DEMAND ANSWERS.
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all the contents of the Internet. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of a barf desert, and it was not meant that we should voyage far into Youtube.”
Mans, how did you get ahold of my diary?
You misspelled “livejournal”.
SITUV
Theosophists have guessed at the awesome grandeur of the cosmic cycle wherein our world and human race form transient incidents. They have hinted at strange survivals in terms which would freeze the blood if not masked by a bland optimism. But it is not from them that there came the single glimpse of forbidden eons which chills me when I think of it and maddens me when I dream of it. That glimpse, like all dread glimpses of truth, flashed out from watching a bizarre video of some fucked-up CGI cats.
“It is said that in Ulthar, which lies beyond the river Skai, no man may kill a cat; and this I can verily believe as I gaze upon him who sitteth purring before the fire.”
Kittens! I don’t see the problem.
I think I’m in love.
“don’t watch if you dislike” …is our dear friend, WendyVainity’s motto. Apparently, not Gabe’s motto.
I know, right! He’s always making us have an existential crisis first thing in the morning.
Honestly, can’t just have us start off the day with something precious Maru did this week? Ugh, jerk!
*goes back to videos of Cricket the Persian kitten*
So which one of them is CGI?
These “OK Computer” b-sides are pretty good!
like a cat/ jumping in space/ frozen winter shit

Wow, watching this is a lot easier than that steam lodge experience I was planning.
This new Animal Collective DVD is going to be awesome.
Sorry to get all genuine gum in this fun thread… I think this post directly addressing the human behind the nightmares (as some of these comments do) belongs in the “We Should All Be So Lucky As To Find Something In This World That Makes Us Happy” category. Personal attacks are for youtube commenters — where she writes in her bio that she does these for fun and that she already gets a lot of shit for it.
This is her idea of FUN?!
Yes.
I honestly and unironically enjoy her videos. I feel like she probably has some serious issues, but her videos are so otherworldly and unapologetically strange that they actually make me pretty happy.
Agreed. My first thought was, “if I had a band, this lady would be animating our videos.” Granted, this might be because, if I had a band, we would be truly terrible and would have almost no budget. But these videos are unsettling and bizarre, and I like that!
I agree with this. I honestly think the videos are kind of amazing in a super bizarre way. There’s almost something transcendent about some of them. If you haven’t seen pussyandtit.wmv, you have not truly lived: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCw5SZWF0Mo
I honestly think this woman is some kind of genius. I can’t figure out if this is really outsider art or a high art commentary on populist art and rejection of aesthetics etc by some art school student. This is what the whole Dirt Style scene wishes it could be. Somewhere David O’Reilly is taking notes.
I feel like this is a secret fetish thing hose weirdo internetos watch and think about in non-christian ways..
I wish Rand Paul wouldn’t have forced Our Garfield to take those drugs and worship the Aqua Buddha.
Uh, why do we hate this, this is amazing?
My god, it’s full of cats.
Sort of sounds like Beirut to me.
Needs more lasagna.
Bin there, done cat.

Lol dude. Imagine playing some shit like this on Microsoft’s Kinect???
For some reason i really like this, and that scares me
This is the best song of 2010.
open this in multiple windows and press play at slightly different times.
best song ever.
“Best Song Ever.”
-This Guy, 1899-1961:
I CAN’T STOP LISTENING NOW.
I think I kind of love this.
Kitties like crackers and snacks!
