It was legit, probably more legit than the actual videos he is making fun of, & should be taken more serious than them … seriously though they take them seriously?!?! Lmao
You are not the voice in your head; you are the one who hears it. Unless you've been body swapped into someone else's head, then I don't know who you are.
One of my favorite body swaps was in Kirakira Precure when Yukari swaps bodies with her cat, and doesnt bat an eye at all; she just goes "neat. I wasnt doing anything else" so she decides to just be a cat today. Now I realize this was inspired from the Garfield and Friends episode: Fair Exchange
If Phelan had a nickel for every time he turned into a cat on April 1st, he'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it's happened to him twice.
Yes, but how come when characters body swap they usually talk with the voice that corresponds with their mind? Specially in animation. In _Third Rock from the Sun_ they kept the voice of the body, which makes way more sense because the voice is a product of the body.
This video was incredibly informative, an absolute profound work of art! But my opinion is subjective, just like how art is. Although I will admit your ending there was all Greek to me, but I guess I can see where you are coming from. The Greek translation for the word “friend” is “philos” which sounds alot like your name Phelous. Coincidence? There is no such thing as coincidence! This rabbit hole goes even deeper and longer than this video! And Easter was just yesterday, a holiday about a rabbit. In that episode of US Acres, Wade saw the message about how the bunny rabbits is coming, so he ran off to warn his friends. Just like how this essay is also a warning, a cautionary tale about the body swap, and why it should not be attempted. I have no idea what I am typing anymore I’m just thinking of random things to make this look like a deep, well thought out, provocative comment. Anyway, seriously great work man! Look forward to see what you put out next year! A multi part documentary about Dementia Five, perhaps? It’s certainly a topic worthy of an in-depth discussion.
This is truly a work of art. Phelous is definitely saying words that sound like they have meaning, but I don't understand a single thing he's saying when the words are put in the order they are put in.
I gotta say... this was definitely the scariest story in the universe of all times. People will be making icebergs out of this video essay... it will lead to a GoodTimes adaptation, I tell you! It will have wooden Star Wars characters, strange gold and Tien battling the Shredder! These will definitely be some Funny Games!
I was kinda hoping you come up with some bullshit reasons for why the episode was super deep or something, but mocking the word-salad nature of RUclips essays is hilarious, too.
of course! now it all doesn't make sense! body swapping can't be real because spock's brain was stollen by garfield so he could switch bodies with john on freaky friday the 13th. leaping from body to body, hoping that each body swap would be the body swap home to planet vegeta, where he could then return to being tim allen as santa. all of which proves that body swaps are a real big fat hairy deal, except that they're not. but it makes sense if you don't think about it. so because I've run out of time for this comment to make sense, I'll sum up with these thought provoking words from krusty the clown: what the hell was that?!
Bill Murray only starred in the Garfield movies because he wanted revenge on Lorenzo Music for playing his character from Ghostbusters. Yep. Having them recast Peter with Dave Coulier wasn't enough, he had to destroy Garfield's reputation. That's why, despite what SHOULD have been the most perfect casting and giving a deadpan, sarcastic performance, Bill gave him an overly energetic delivery and made him say kid's movie trailer lines the whole time.
*The following are the musings of a Salty SEAGULL named EARL who just shows up in my posts whenever he feels like it!* [EARL the Salty SEAGULL:] 15:57 - "Not gonna lie, but I half expect Phelous to go on another tangent with the word Exchange reminding him of the word Change which in turns reminds him of Captain Ginyu's Body Change and Phelous talks about Ginyu swapping bodies & how in some of the video games it isn't depicted accurately as a body swap while other games are more faithful! Maybe he even brings up the fact that Tagoma is stuck as a frog cause Vegeta killed Ginyu while he was in Tagoma's body in the DBS anime! Sorry just had DB on the brain as of late due to the recent passing of Toriyama & the uncertainty surrounding the DBS manga! Still Phelous' video essay reads like a Mondo TV script (cause of their tendency for the plot to just go off the rails to the point I imagine the script is just going off into tangents)!" 16:23 - "Guess I technically CALLED IT... as it did eventually lead to DBZ's brush with the Body Swap phenomenon thanks to one Captain Ginyu!" 16:30 - "I mean it makes sense DB would be on both of our brains! Also nice segway tying Garfield's love of eating to Goku's love of eating! Now I wanna see someone make an image of Garfield wearing Goku's Gi eating a Full Course Meal! Bonus points of the image includes Neko Majin Z (Goku's student from Toriyama's post DB gag manga Nekomajin)!" 16:49 - "Ah, so he went for the less obvious TFS Abridged reference (the most obvious being what TFS Goku said being in Ginyu's body felt like)!" 16:57 - "At least Ginyu learned he couldn't access Goku's 180,000 power level cause he didn't know the Kaioken! Also Fun Fact: Great Ape Vegeta's power level during the Saiyan Saga was the same as Kaioken Goku verses Captain Ginyu & proves that Great Ape Vegeta was stronger than Captain Ginyu at least in terms of Power Level as Ginyu's maximum is only 120,000 according to Jeice! Mind you Ginyu still has an advantage over Great Ape Vegeta and that's his Body Change which would grant him full access to Vegeta's power provided he retains Vegeta's ability to control the Oozaru form like Baby Vegeta was able to do in GT! Also as Yajirobe demonstrated Great Ape Vegeta's tail is his Achilles Heel so its not like he could solo the Ginyu Force as together their probably be able to cut it off! Still it gives more weight to Vegeta's belief that he was the strongest Saiyan as he was unaware of Broly's existence & Goku was ultimately unable to beat the Saiyan Prince when he was a Great Ape!" 17:42 - "Well Goku is somewhat laid back (when he's not busy training) and his Saiyan appetite could rival Garfield's own!"

I don't like this essay Doesn't seem to friendly These detours seem so fake My mind is going to break Phelous, oh Phelous What're you rambling on about?
What happens when Phelous begins writing another re-review of Mac and Me while having a complete mental collapse.
Can't believe Phelous sold out to Big Air
Mmmm... not as crazy as Jerma selling out to Big Fruit.
Your ability to take the piss out of something entirely without being mean is amazing, Phelan.
Informative and important video but I'm afraid Air is a bit of a problematic sponsor. Did you know that 100% of everyone who has or will ever breathe air has or will eventually die?
That's only 100% true, don't be sensational
Most of the world's worst people were air breathers too
Everyone asks why bodyswap...
But nobody ever asks how Garfield.
How garfield became a cat god
It's kinda funny how this video on Garfield was released on a Monday when you know that Garfield hates Mondays.
Such is the fate of Solomon Grundy.
Everytime I almost forget it’s April 1st, I see the video and thumbnail Phelous uploaded and immediately remember.
I’m so glad Phelous finally got sponsored by air, all the best videos have air in them
Can't wait for the 5-hour cut on Patreon!!
Hbomberguy : "Hi, here's a video essay about plagiarism, just under 4 hours"
Phelous : "Hold my bootlegs"
I love how this whole video is basically just a giant bowl of word soup
finally a good april fools joke that isn't a low effort bait and switch, great job
If I slow this video down to 0.25x speed then it would be about half as long as the average video essay.

No one wants to body swap with Bat Hero.

What are you talking about? This is clearly a metaphor for the seven deadly sins.
It's really more of a critique of the fallacies of Hegelian Idealism, but to be fair, it's not a thing the philistine crowd can understand🙄
Shout out to Phelous for providing such a helpful and effective sleep aid on a day usually used for pranks and such.
17:44 Goku @ Garfield: hmmm. I don't know. I think we should be enemies
Garfield: certainly
Body swap, the media most used trope ever.
Isekai wants to know your location.
@@asra-5180 funny both of them crossover alot
I remember hearing that amnesia is the most used trope of all time, but body swap is still pretty up there.
Garfield loves to eat lasagna.
Goku loves to eat food.
Lasagna is also food.
Coincidence? Most likely, but I do not believe in the coincidence.
Garfield hates Mondays.
Vegeta said: "too bad it's Sunday."
Sunday is the day before Monday.
Coincidence? Most likely. But I don't believe in Mondays.
Too bad for Raditz, it's Double Sunday!
@@BagOfMagicFood I'm confused. I get Raditz + Double Sunday = reference! But why would it be bad for him? Is there something wrong with the Double Sunday? Or is there something wrong with being Raditz? And if being Raditz is pain, and life is pain, then doesn't that mean Raditz is alive?

April Fools :)
Making fun of video essays. Your doing gods work.
The most clear and concise Video Essay I ever watched.
I may not have body swapped, but I sure felt like a different person after my brain melted from watching this whole video.
Phelan once again proves himself the undisputed master of shitposts.
3:13
Body Swappers: We won...
You can tell this is an April 1 video since if it was a real essay it'd be 6 hours long
Me:
expecting a retrospective of the body-swap trope in movies.
Phelous:
Let's give them a bunch of nothingness.
I always wanted Phelous to do a Garfield and Friends episode.
I got more than I ever expected.
Damn, Phelan! My entire worldview has been forever altered by the revelations of this video!
My mind was absolutely blown! I will never think of Body swap episodes the same way ever again!
I couldn't stop watching this.
WHY COULDN'T I STOP WATCHING THIS??!!
You had nothing else to watch.
The notion true art is the antithesis of logic validates my whole life! Thanks, Phelous! This was epic and freed me of much existential crisis!
Goku wears orange
Garfield is orange
Phelan loves orange
It’s all connected
🍊🐈🧡
*plays X-files music*
You are not the voice in your head; you are the one who hears it. Unless you've been body swapped into someone else's head, then I don't know who you are.
Maybe the REAL April fools are the people who don't get fooled by April fools on April Fools Day
I've been debating whether to give Air a go or dismiss it as another scam, but I trust that Phelous knows what's good!
I come for the horror movie reviews, but stay for the Garfield.

Garfield in Dimension Five killed me.
The next essay will be about how to perform an Animality in real life and why Scorpion is actually a penguin.
If Phelan had a nickel for every time he turned into a cat on April 1st, he'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it's happened to him twice.
I kind of want to see Garfield in Dementia Five now.
Happy April Fools Phelous! I am Surprised that Egon switching bodies with Slimer wasnt mentioned!
Yes, but how come when characters body swap they usually talk with the voice that corresponds with their mind? Specially in animation. In _Third Rock from the Sun_ they kept the voice of the body, which makes way more sense because the voice is a product of the body.
April Fool's day is like The national holiday in Phelanada. No expense is spared for the festivities. XD
I feel like every year you put one of these out and I slowly lose my sanity until its over. Good work!

I swear: I woke up this morning and my body was swapped with a sack of potatoes.
this is brilliant!!! perfect example of why i love this channel. keep it up man !!
It's like you combined Intro to Lit at a junior college, with meth, pot, and stream of consciousness writing.
Phelous you forgot the most crucial component! The creatures in nature who have naturally mastered body swapping! Emus!
We really went on a journey with this one.
Your voice is the most fantastic mix of SEW, Quinton Reviews, and Xavier Renegade Angel.

Aw sweet, I've always wondered what Phelous would sound like if he was Xavier: Renegade Angel
It's as if they... swapped bodies!
What a spectacular video essay!
I feel like I'm going through an acid trip on this video. 😅
