Garfield Minus Everyone Plus Tony Orlando & Dawn
ytmnd
Garfield has been the subject of over 200 YTMNDs since 2004. There is little cohesion in theme, as most of them seem to have been simply inspired by mainstream exposure of a highly-syndicated cartoon.

Searches for "Garfield Parody" began showing up in September of 2007, just a few months before "Garfield minus Garfield" which has far greater search traffic.

Add LasagnaCat.com, though the parodies are more affectionate than absurdist like the others.
Yes.
I'd call you out for copying most of the comment I made on your other Garfield post, but I copied most of those from another article I found online, so: moot it is.
As the incredible genius behind GMEMTO&D, I heartily endorse this meme.
I assume this to be a rather new Garfield Parody, but it is a parody.

what do you mean copying most of the comment?
you posted some helpful links so i posted them here. I dont understand why your making it out to be an issue?
Thanks for the link elvis.
If anything, Garfield Minus Garfield might be the only one that's really noteworthy out of all Garfield Parodies.
The entire subject of Garfield parody is less popular than Garfield Minus Garfield.
I'm going to investigate the origins of each of these other parodies. If I find that they came after Garfield Minus Garfield, then I think we ought to actually turn this entry into the sub-meme.
i think definate confirm. if you look at square root of minus garfield there are like, over 9000 different garfield mutations by different people. in the name of meme thursday, i would definately consider confirming this.
Thanks for reasearching Chris.
I agree with Chris that making this into the sub-meme of Garfield Minus Garfield would be much better based on G-G's popularity compared to Garfield parodies as a whole. When that's accomplished…

Is 'Garfield go back to bed' also a meme?
@Random
Isn't that a regular catch-phrase directly written into the comic?
You're gonna need to provide some examples of the phrase used in a new context to start considering if it's a meme or not.
Well, in addition to the three Garfield edits of mine I uploaded myself, I uploaded some Garfield edits I found from the YCP website.
That's odd. I've been trying to delete one I submitted (since the warning I put on it was too distracting) but it won't get deleted.
Anyways, I'll be looking for more to add.
@ Chris: A couple of examples: http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=440935.
It's not only on this site.
Yes, "Garfield go back to bed" looks like a meme.
Definitely meme material. Plenty of LOOLz.
Does anyone know who created "Garfield go back to bed"? The original strip itself is from 2004:

And this guy is acting like he created it (about 2/3 of the way down):

Never mind; I tracked down the guy and he denies being the creator.

Article needs serious work but this shit is comedy gold.

Someone made it with Sans and Papyrus and it is a treasure
This is pretty much a crossover between newspaper comics and Fist of the North Star.
Is it possible to have a "reverse parody"? Taking something comedic and goofy and making it ridiculously dramatic and intense? Because I feel like that label applies here.
also, lycan jonze garfield is the best anime 11/10
