Super entergaging video, Thought Slime. Just one piece of constructive criticism. Have you considered making the video Garfield-shaped? It could really help your brand
Very true, the whole thing is a gaudy, wasteful abomination built with almost-slave labor and mountains of petrodollars, and driven by the most decadent and voracious manifestation of consumerism yet
“Garfield has received millions of hearts around the world” Is Garfield being mailed human hearts? What does Garfield do with all of these hearts? Does he get Jon to make them into lasagna? Why is Garfield being mailed human hearts when they could be transplanted into people who need them? Is this capitalism’s final form? A fat cat eating the hearts of the poor?
Of course it's not human hearts, silly. You actually need to send cat hearts. Garfield needs a new one every day from being 40 years old and morbidly obese.
‘The human condition, everyone wants to be fed, loved and not left alone’ yeah ok ‘so we made a Garfield shaped pizza’ HE SAYS IT AS IF ITS JUST THE LOGICAL CONCLUSION
"This child isn't mine. This child is from the darkness. I bore the humanity's curse. I can ask for mercy, which I won't get. My soul will be consumed and thrown up and then consumed again. Forever. Sick joke, but no one's laughing. My blood will stay. Death isn't the end. I'm in hell. This is hell."-Jim Davis, surrounded by monstrous versions of his creation

Garfield did use to be homeless, he had no home when he was a kitten. Also, he was stranded away from his house for like 2 weeks, it was winter and he nearly died. These are both in the comics, I have the books. 13:13 What am I doing with my life?
Wasn't one of Garfield's quotes in the old comic book strips "love me, feed me, never leave me"? In that context it was adorable, but this.. this is just unsettling. Especially changing "never leave me" to "don't leave me". Went from cute to desperate and moderately threatening in about 0.3 seconds
I loved Garfield as a kid and this makes me unreasonably happy Not because it's good but just because I can now involve Garfield in political and economic debate, and I am going to bring this up at every possible opportunity
Wurminator The SI needs to come into existence once again. I think our irreverent, strange, and shitposty culture would go hand in hand with it perfectly.
Hot Take: Garfield is a case for why derivative works are important for art, and thusly why the public domain is too, because of how much more interesting he is in anciliary works than in his main "text". IE, stuff like the 80s animated series, Lasagna Cat, Lumpytouch's horror-themed pixel animations, hell even Davis' own weird spinoffs like Garfield His 9 Lives! ...I'm not even joking, the character works well enough in multiple formats to show that openness to re-interpretation is wildly underrated as a quality of characters, and that we need to expand the public domain and fair use to allow for more of that more freely.

Uber isn't 'a massively profitable company'- its actually been a loss-making company since it began. That's not an accident. The whole idea behind the brand is that they'll use corporate subsidies to undercut existing taxi companies in hundreds of cities, drive the competition out of business... then replace all their drivers with robot self-driving cars, and rake in the dollars. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's Uber's acknowledged- and extensively publicised- long-term business plan. Unregulated capitalism isn't 'fair competition', its inevitably a shortcut to oligarchy.
I clicked on this thinking it was a breakdown of an ARG. I wasn’t disappointed with the video, but I was certainly disappointed with the knowledge that GarfieldEats is a thing.
Hey Thought Slime, love you , love your vids. At one point in my life I owned all the Garfield books in existence for about a year until they made more and read them so often that I could quote them verbatim and describe the scenes like a walking Garfield meme generator. Far be it from me to pass up an opportunity for my random obsessions to be useful once in a while. So I am delighted...or something...to inform you that yes, there is actually an arc where Garfield ends up living on the streets for a while. He meets his extended family who are all squatting in the ruins of an old Italian restaurant where he first discovered the glories of lasagna as a kitten. No I do not recall if they explain how he ended up getting found by Jon and forgetting them, I'm not certain it was ever explained.
Interesting sidenote... I just looked up what an "Accredited nutritionist" actually denotes in Ontario, Canada and it turns out... not much. While the terms registered dietitian and/or RD are protected by law, requiring you to take an undergraduate course and get a government recognised accreditation, "nutritionist" is only protected in Alberta, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Meaning Nathen Mazri likely only ever had a 4 week private training seminar or something, because if he was an RD, he would probably use that title. Not to distract from how absurd/bordering on parody this whole thing is, but it's an extra layer of BS that the co-founder would take on an official sounding, but ultimately vacuous title to appear more competent.
Yup. It's the same in the US. Anyone can be a nutritionist. If you're looking for an actual educated and licensed professional, that would be a dietitian.
Jim Davis is like Duke Leto changing into a sandworm, but he is very slowly, over the course of centuries, becoming Garfield. Jim Davis is literally Garfield. And probably the incipient Galactic Emperor
Breadtube has been replacing "normal" entertainment for me, and is honestly the best content on the platform. And has of course changed my political stances also.
Emil Rokstad me too. By watching these videos I’ve been learning the words needed to express my political and philosophical thoughts, and it’s been really comforting knowing I’m not alone.
Jim Davis sounds so dead on the inside when describing GarfieldEats. It's as if five minutes before shooting, he realized how stupid it all is, but at that point, he couldn't back out.
No. The idea is to capture market share by any means necessary, usually by abandoning profit for the first several years, and then receive an endless windfall after the market has been dominated by your product. It's the same principle as drug dealers giving away your first hit. Then you'll come back for more, and be eager to pay. Noone cares to point out that this entire business model is predicated on the existence of monopolies, which are SUPPOSED to be outlawed by our society, but which in practice are welcomed.
Brian Koontz That doesn’t work in Uber’s case because lack of loyalty, lack of strong network effects and low elasticity of supply compared to tech companies: just because Uber doesn’t pay for cars/car repair doesn’t mean the costs of the business model aren’t passed on in reduced driver count etc. It’s been 9 years - most tech startups that took initial losses were profitable within 3. Uber is a scam. Short it.
@@briankoontz1 Let's say uber does what you say, becomes a monopolist. There are no taxis, no any other transport firms (I will stay quiet about buses, trains, trams, subways, private cars, renting cars, renting motors etc. etc. for your argument's convenience). So UBER is the god of city transport, and dictates the prices for consumers and wages for the employees. Why wouldn't there be created a second firm, called let's say UTER which out competes UBER, the way UBER out competed everyone else? The only answer is the state intervention. If the state were to increase the minimal wage for drivers (could do anything which has to do with side supply), the small company wanting to take over UBER with prices, for consumer wouldn't be able to outcompete the rival. Only with cooperation with state can UBER become a monopolist. And that is not free market, that is state controlled market. What is capitalist is free of state intervention. Where the state and business meet, there is corruption. I wonder how you make sense of that.
@@nikoGoroz boohoo, the government won't let me pay my workers even less than uber already pays their workers to lose even more money to capture market until profitability. What a fascist state!!1 And yes, I take uber often. Also lyft. Just pointing out your argument is fallacious as shit, hypothetical or not.
So at 11:53 they say they collaborate with labor camps? LOL. I don't know why but it's so funny that they mention labor camps. Can you imagine going to the Garfield Gulag? lmao
This was the first video of yours that I saw it was quite a weird introduction to your channel. I will say after watching this video I proceeded to watch way too many more. Really good content keep it up 👍👍
My god I think I hurt my neck from nodding at all you had to say about this app. As a software developer I feel so bad for the people that had to develop this pointless app and website.
That's gotta be soul crushing. I'm getting my major in computer science and I REALLY hope I end up doing work I can be proud of. At the very least, I hope whichever programmers and devs made this app are getting decent pay.
Man this whole exchange reminds me of that PETA sponsored Pokémon game that makes everything about exploitation and yet the programmers clearly understood what makes a Pokémon game fun, so they succeeded at making the game fun to play but miserable to think about.
nah, dude. monopoly. and when everyone except the capitalists are jackshit poor and can't buy anything anymore, they introduce the free parking rule! (universal basic income) that way we can all suffer under capitalism forever!

Thank you soooooo much for bringing this ridiculousness to all of our consciousness. -_- On a serious note, glad to see your face!
It's always good to remember that Capitalism and Free Market are not the same thing. Capitalism is a mode of production characterized by the private ownership of the means of production whilst Free Market is the lack of intervention and regulation of market trade and transactions by non-profit authorities (such as the government), leaving the prices to fluctuate according to market laws such as supply and demand. It is possible to have a collective ownership of the means of production and still have a free market. It is also possible to have private means of production and still have a heavily regulated market.
Ah this is still my favorite video of yours. I imagine that could be crushing to hear considering you doubtlessly have put countless more energy into other videos but your comedic timing in this is just incredible as is the sense of fun you had with it. Just a great, entergaging video.
Entergagement? Seriously? Is he trying to push corporate lingo like it's some revolutionary development? I think I honestly would have more fun with the pizza tracking app another app offers when you order the pizza.
Desperate, uncreative people dumping their own and their family's life savings into a terrible business idea that will inevitably fail: capitalism at its finest.
I agree and respect that. However capitalism is the only system that promotes people doing idiotic things not because they think they are actually a good idea, but because they gamble on finding enough dumb people to buy their product. And the thing with lottery is, winner takes all.
@@KilgoreTroutAsf Raiding the next village over is a dumb idea in the greater scheme of advancing humanity and depends on the dumb people in the next village not being prepared to resist aggression. Advertising useless goods can also be seen as a form of aggression, or at least exploitative deception. Advancing yourself at the expense of vulnerable others is not uniquely capitalist. Capitalism is peculiar in how efficiently and peacefully it facilitates this (not that that's a good thing, necessarily; rather the enemy you see than the one you don't).
Since we are discussing economic systems, it is safe to assume the pre-existence of a state or some other political order that precludes the use of violence within its reach, at the very least the kind of violence you suggested in your comment. Because no political system, no matter how incompetent, is going to tolerate villages within its borders raiding one another, I don't see how your example has any relevance to my original point. Also, "peace" under capitalism is purely incidental. Leaving aside the discussion about the horrors of systemic violence, capitalist countries have been at war with one another over colonial conquests and global domination all through the 18th, 19th and half of the 20th century, until somebody invented a bomb powerful enough to destroy civilization, and politicians figured out they better learn how to calm down and try to solve problems through diplomacy. And even so, the US kept fighting proxy wars, invading and financing coups in more than 50 countries only so the "peaceful" capitalists could sack their natural resources and virtually enslave their population as cheap labor.
I doubt it's even close to their family's life savings to be honest. These uber-rich motherfuckers can spend as much money as they want on terrible, useless shit and still be totally fine when it fails. Meanwhile most people cant take a fucking sick day without risking this months rent.

Uber isn't 'a massively profitable company'- its actually been a loss-making company since it began. That's not an accident.

No one likes Funko Pop, it is just capitalism in pure form of a bad hunk of plastic.
R.I.P. GarfieldEats😔
I clicked on this thinking it was a breakdown of an ARG.
I wasn’t disappointed with the video, but I was certainly disappointed with the knowledge that GarfieldEats is a thing.
Has anyone checked the source code to see if Alan Resnicks name is in there?
"Love me. Feed me. Don't leave me" is a powerful and poignant existential message.
It’s everyone’s favorite snarfield who loves pizza and hates Tuesday
Hey Thought Slime, love you , love your vids. At one point in my life I owned all the Garfield books in existence for about a year until they made more and read them so often that I could quote them verbatim and describe the scenes like a walking Garfield meme generator. Far be it from me to pass up an opportunity for my random obsessions to be useful once in a while. So I am delighted...or something...to inform you that yes, there is actually an arc where Garfield ends up living on the streets for a while. He meets his extended family who are all squatting in the ruins of an old Italian restaurant where he first discovered the glories of lasagna as a kitten. No I do not recall if they explain how he ended up getting found by Jon and forgetting them, I'm not certain it was ever explained.
Interesting sidenote... I just looked up what an "Accredited nutritionist" actually denotes in Ontario, Canada and it turns out... not much. While the terms registered dietitian and/or RD are protected by law, requiring you to take an undergraduate course and get a government recognised accreditation, "nutritionist" is only protected in Alberta, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Meaning Nathen Mazri likely only ever had a 4 week private training seminar or something, because if he was an RD, he would probably use that title.
Not to distract from how absurd/bordering on parody this whole thing is, but it's an extra layer of BS that the co-founder would take on an official sounding, but ultimately vacuous title to appear more competent.
Yup. It's the same in the US. Anyone can be a nutritionist.
If you're looking for an actual educated and licensed professional, that would be a dietitian.
wow, amazing that all 3 of those places are in canada. what are the odds?
Jim Davis is like Duke Leto changing into a sandworm, but he is very slowly, over the course of centuries, becoming Garfield. Jim Davis is literally Garfield. And probably the incipient Galactic Emperor
Whenever youtubers like thought slime, hbomb, shaun, 3 arrows, contra etc etc upload. I regain some faith in humanity : )
Breadtube has been replacing "normal" entertainment for me, and is honestly the best content on the platform. And has of course changed my political stances also.
LEFTUBE
Even when they just talk about Garfield apps?
Word up
Emil Rokstad me too. By watching these videos I’ve been learning the words needed to express my political and philosophical thoughts, and it’s been really comforting knowing I’m not alone.
Jim Davis sounds so dead on the inside when describing GarfieldEats. It's as if five minutes before shooting, he realized how stupid it all is, but at that point, he couldn't back out.
Uber has never made a profit. In late stage capitalism, making money is not what you do, its SEEMING like your making money.
Ironman1o1 technically they made a profit in one year when they cut driver’s wages but yea... it’s a keynesian beauty contest
No. The idea is to capture market share by any means necessary, usually by abandoning profit for the first several years, and then receive an endless windfall after the market has been dominated by your product.
It's the same principle as drug dealers giving away your first hit. Then you'll come back for more, and be eager to pay.
Noone cares to point out that this entire business model is predicated on the existence of monopolies, which are SUPPOSED to be outlawed by our society, but which in practice are welcomed.
Brian Koontz That doesn’t work in Uber’s case because lack of loyalty, lack of strong network effects and low elasticity of supply compared to tech companies: just because Uber doesn’t pay for cars/car repair doesn’t mean the costs of the business model aren’t passed on in reduced driver count etc. It’s been 9 years - most tech startups that took initial losses were profitable within 3. Uber is a scam. Short it.
@@briankoontz1 Let's say uber does what you say, becomes a monopolist. There are no taxis, no any other transport firms (I will stay quiet about buses, trains, trams, subways, private cars, renting cars, renting motors etc. etc. for your argument's convenience). So UBER is the god of city transport, and dictates the prices for consumers and wages for the employees. Why wouldn't there be created a second firm, called let's say UTER which out competes UBER, the way UBER out competed everyone else?
The only answer is the state intervention. If the state were to increase the minimal wage for drivers (could do anything which has to do with side supply), the small company wanting to take over UBER with prices, for consumer wouldn't be able to outcompete the rival. Only with cooperation with state can UBER become a monopolist. And that is not free market, that is state controlled market. What is capitalist is free of state intervention. Where the state and business meet, there is corruption.
I wonder how you make sense of that.
@@nikoGoroz boohoo, the government won't let me pay my workers even less than uber already pays their workers to lose even more money to capture market until profitability.
What a fascist state!!1
And yes, I take uber often. Also lyft. Just pointing out your argument is fallacious as shit, hypothetical or not.
This is the 'The Room' of startup businesses.
Slime actually sounds like he’d be a great voice actor for Garfield
Definitely a far better choice than Chris Pratt honestly
Somebody get me some Garfsenic
"Having a Nermal one."
That makes it all worth it.
So at 11:53 they say they collaborate with labor camps? LOL. I don't know why but it's so funny that they mention labor camps. Can you imagine going to the Garfield Gulag? lmao
There is an Uncanny Valley quality to how this app presents itself.
Yeah I think weirdness is the new ad model.
This was the first video of yours that I saw it was quite a weird introduction to your channel. I will say after watching this video I proceeded to watch way too many more. Really good content keep it up 👍👍
My god I think I hurt my neck from nodding at all you had to say about this app.
As a software developer I feel so bad for the people that had to develop this pointless app and website.
That's gotta be soul crushing. I'm getting my major in computer science and I REALLY hope I end up doing work I can be proud of.
At the very least, I hope whichever programmers and devs made this app are getting decent pay.
Man this whole exchange reminds me of that PETA sponsored Pokémon game that makes everything about exploitation and yet the programmers clearly understood what makes a Pokémon game fun, so they succeeded at making the game fun to play but miserable to think about.
Just imagine, these devs could have been working to advance society.... but instead they made Garfield Eats.
They went out of business like 20 minutes ago lmao
Hey buddy! Loves you. Hope you are doing well with classes.
There is only one war
@Top this is console peasant erasure
this video was the beginning of my descent into breadtube. it is responsible for my leftist radicalization. does this make you proud, thoughtslime?
Capitalism is the real life version of the board game "Hungry Hungry Hippos."
I wish…
@@entiretotal7207
hungry hungry hippos with guns...
nah, dude. monopoly. and when everyone except the capitalists are jackshit poor and can't buy anything anymore, they introduce the free parking rule! (universal basic income) that way we can all suffer under capitalism forever!
If one of the four players started with eighty percent of the balls.
If one of the players was tilting the board.
"This is the man who made a pizza of my face. But I'd prefer it in my mouth" is the weirdest come-on I've ever heard.
I clicked play on this video and immediately started dissociating and then I woke up 22 minutes later surrounded by tissue boxes filled with lasagna, 10/10 video
i live near that ad and every time i walked by it i was so confused. i thought it was a real estate ad because the building it was on was always empty lol
You missed a real chance to maximize entergagement by not uploading this on a Monday.
good comment thanks
Y'know how in yugioh the entire economy, culture, religion, and politics of the world are based around the yugioh card game? I think the people who make garfield products assume that kind of complete universal assimilation is going to happen but with garfield
The terribleness of capitalism never ceases to amaze me

@dark power You should look up people who call themselves _socialists._ They've been around for quite a long time.

garfield but VORE??
I literally hate everything about this. I could have spent my entire life not knowing anything about this. This could have existed and disappeared without my knowledge but no. Thank you soooooo much for bringing this ridiculousness to all of our consciousness. -_-
On a serious note, glad to see your face!
I almost made a joke about Garfield Go, but then I remembered that was real
It's always good to remember that Capitalism and Free Market are not the same thing. Capitalism is a mode of production characterized by the private ownership of the means of production whilst Free Market is the lack of intervention and regulation of market trade and transactions by non-profit authorities (such as the government), leaving the prices to fluctuate according to market laws such as supply and demand.
It is possible to have a collective ownership of the means of production and still have a free market. It is also possible to have private means of production and still have a heavily regulated market.
Erick Lopes as a market socialist I would hope normal people wouldn't be this stupid
I have been bingewatching your vids lately. This one is my favorite so far. Idk why it just is.
I miss the animated lefttube folks.
It made me feel like I was in an alternative universe normalboots
Normalboots. Ooh.
Ah this is still my favorite video of yours. I imagine that could be crushing to hear considering you doubtlessly have put countless more energy into other videos but your comedic timing in this is just incredible as is the sense of fun you had with it.
Just a great, entergaging video.
Entergagement? Seriously? Is he trying to push corporate lingo like it's some revolutionary development? I think I honestly would have more fun with the pizza tracking app another app offers when you order the pizza.
"Garfield's other favourite: Coffee" sends me every single time.
Desperate, uncreative people dumping their own and their family's life savings into a terrible business idea that will inevitably fail: capitalism at its finest.
Striving and the possibility of failure have been part of every human system ever.
I agree and respect that.
However capitalism is the only system that promotes people doing idiotic things not because they think they are actually a good idea, but because they gamble on finding enough dumb people to buy their product.
And the thing with lottery is, winner takes all.
@@KilgoreTroutAsf Raiding the next village over is a dumb idea in the greater scheme of advancing humanity and depends on the dumb people in the next village not being prepared to resist aggression. Advertising useless goods can also be seen as a form of aggression, or at least exploitative deception. Advancing yourself at the expense of vulnerable others is not uniquely capitalist. Capitalism is peculiar in how efficiently and peacefully it facilitates this (not that that's a good thing, necessarily; rather the enemy you see than the one you don't).
Since we are discussing economic systems, it is safe to assume the pre-existence of a state or some other political order that precludes the use of violence within its reach, at the very least the kind of violence you suggested in your comment.
Because no political system, no matter how incompetent, is going to tolerate villages within its borders raiding one another, I don't see how your example has any relevance to my original point.
Also, "peace" under capitalism is purely incidental. Leaving aside the discussion about the horrors of systemic violence, capitalist countries have been at war with one another over colonial conquests and global domination all through the 18th, 19th and half of the 20th century, until somebody invented a bomb powerful enough to destroy civilization, and politicians figured out they better learn how to calm down and try to solve problems through diplomacy. And even so, the US kept fighting proxy wars, invading and financing coups in more than 50 countries only so the "peaceful" capitalists could sack their natural resources and virtually enslave their population as cheap labor.
I doubt it's even close to their family's life savings to be honest. These uber-rich motherfuckers can spend as much money as they want on terrible, useless shit and still be totally fine when it fails. Meanwhile most people cant take a fucking sick day without risking this months rent.
If Garfield Eats was going to succeed anywhere... it unfortunately would be in my home state of Indiana. If you visit for more than a week, the eldritch cat will find you here. I have seem more statues of this orange cat in more places than I have fingers and I have NOT been in any terrible hand accidents. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is HELP US!

Ah, yes, I remember Garfeilf's favorite love of pizza and that he hates Thursdays.
This is awful and amazing at the same time. Our civilization is hilariously doomed.
"in the year of our Lord 1988" 😂 oml I died hearing that tho
I swear I wanted to watch this in one session, but I desperately craved a tea to my cake. So now I got to do that first... My dose of Thought Slime is sacred and everything must be perfect.
There, I can continue now.
Btw it's NFTs now. Garfield Eats is NFTs.
It couldn't be. More. Perfect.
