That joke suffered a lot from losing the enforced succinctness of the three or four (I forget) panel format. There was no shock, we just watched it slowly happen.

I liked the character animation a lot though. I'd like to see him write and animate some stuff specifically for the medium.

well... enjoy your Garfield, I guess.

I hope you don't die from not laughing again ever in your life.

@lgtoast Everyone goes through a "Garfield Phase." Mines ended when I started reading comics strips like Bloom County,and The Boondocks.

@lgtoast Garfield was pretty fucking darkly funny back in the day. Have you ever actually ever read the real Garfield? No, of course not, because you just see the modern strips and wonder how the hell it ever got popular in the first place. Like The Simpsons, many of the old school things that are still recognizable got famous for a reason.

Too predictable. I love PBF because I can't usually see the ending coming. This one...I knew what was going to happen. Not good if you can't outwit a dumbshit like me.

I dunno how much input this had from the cartoon creator, but this was very different.  In the comic, the 3-4 panels works well for a shock value, without drawing it out. Here we know he'll pop when he looks at the sun, but have to wait many seconds. The video would've been better with him "Hey I got new glasses!" "Oh, I guess it looks cool..." *look at sun* Then from the friend's perspective 2 popcorns fly at them and they scream. But dunno, maybe it was just me.
