Not too many people know this, but Phil Collins wrote this song after witnessing Jim Davis on a beach, who just stood and did nothing while a woman drowned. Later, Collins sent a ticket anonymously to Davis, to one of his concerts. During the concert, a single spotlight shone down on Davis while Collins performed the song. I know this because I was in the audience.
This is the original pilot episode of "Lasagna Cat". After a legal dispute in which lead actors Garfield & Odie were not paid the full lasagna agreed upon, the leading roles were recast for Don Johnson & Philip Michael Thomas, and the show was renamed "Miami Vice".
This is actually something of a misconception- although the original pilot for "Lasagna Cat" was filmed and later discarded, "Miami Vice" had its original script written before the filming ever took place (although Johnson and Thomas were not yet attached to the project at that stage.) After the legal disputes caused the "Lasagna Cat" project to go under, several of the producers were moved to other projects- included the then-nascent "Miami Vice" script which had just been approved. While many of the ideas from the one made it into the other, the two were independently conceived and written up until the very late stages and I think it's unfair to characterize Vice as simply a ripoff of the earlier work, even if they clearly share some inspirations.
I un-ironically think this is a work of art, so many layers of clever humor and subtle genius, the near perfect shot for shot remake of the Miami Vice scene alone is highly commendable.
@@theodore8178 Yeah I agree, I think it's anti-humor. Unreasonably high production anti-humor that has so many layers of irony it my brain hurt XD This series has had me laughing so many times though. The classic episodes are great too
Well, since there is another world beyond the mirror, and they can reach out and snag u and pull u inside with them But I befriended them I help them with all of their revolutions 👏👏👏
I love how moody this is. as someone who hasn't seen Miami vice, there's something beautiful about this and really sad and moving about the way Garfield talks to John on the payphone

I've been waiting for over 30 years for the perfect demonstration of this dramatic memorable iconic set of scenes ... with perfect comedy. My life is now complete! Thank you!!! :D
Because the guys who do these skits, Fatalfarm, are professional actors. They do live action work for Adult Swim, which is how Justin Roiland did the cover for Coming In the Air Tonight.
This feels exactly like one of those super, super weird dreams that you have when you drink a full can of Coke at 2am. None of it makes any sense in the real world (Garfield and the pilot episode of Miami Vice), but everything is arranged in a way that seems to make perfect sense in the dream. When you wake up, you wonder what the fuck you just saw.
That part where he calls his ex-owner to ask him if it was Odie behind the picture frame plays so well with this scene. Realizing how a good friend who he loved and trusted confused him with the picture frame makes him wonder who else close to him has also done the same. This scene gives us the first real insight into Garfield's character. We see how much he values trust and how sensitive he really is beneath the tough exterior.
Watching a Miami Vice episode with Garfield characters with Justin Roiland singing my favourite Phil Collins song is gotta be the weirdest but best feelings i ever had
You have to appreciate how Jim Davis in a three panel strip perfeclty condensed the pain of a sudden existencial crisis that ALL of us face at some point of our lives, and even when it finished with a "happy ending" as Gardfield realized that he was in fact not a dog, didnt freed him from his anxiety. And thats is the truth of our journey, we can get answers but that doesnt mean that we will find clousure.
Funny little coincidence: Crockett's wife Caroline wears a similar shirt in the original scene, as Jon (in the comics and other Lasagnacat videos). A light blue polo(ish) shirt.
this is by far my fav one. i keep coming back to watch it. and the side by side comparison on mf channel. whoever thought of using the most iconic scenes in the pilot episode of miami vice is a fkn genius
THIS IS THE FUCKING SCENE FROM MIAMI VICE, SHOT FOR SHOT, BUT WITH GARFIELD.
FUCKING GARFIELD
do you know what episode or where i can find the original scene?
It's the pilot of Miami Vice. Just google that and you'll find the exact scene.
thank you
Yes...its beautifulll
I didn't :P

is that actually true?
Actually Jim Davis saw the woman drowning, but when asked why he didn't save her, he replied "I thought she was me"

This strip was published 10/20/1984, the episode of miami vice it's based on originally aired four days prior, 10/16/1984.
Fuck off, that’s unbelievable
@@Rhlgull1331 too bad, he's unfortunately off by a month. The pilot of Miami Vice aired on september 16th 1984, not october !

Dead Channel the episode this is based off of is the pilot
@@dontoli9731 haha, how can a TV episode fly a plane?!
I love how their beautiful rendition of "In the Air Tonight" was picked up by UA-cam's copyright system. It sounded too much like the original.
Probably due to the synth pad and percussion sounding exactly like the original

I wonder if Davis said that?

I've been watching Miami vice because of this
Mason N. go watch the scene they are parodying
This sketch ignited my love for Miami Vice.
You should watch Miami Vice. It's actually a great show and goes a bit hard in spots. Holds up well.
Same dude
4:54 He hit that high note perfectly. Music to my ears.

He's more than that, though, isn't he
he's only funny in these videos

What gun did you guys use to get Justin Roiland in this?
Knowing him, I'm pretty sure it was Justin Roiland who showed up with a gun demanding to be in this
yes
Likely the shotgun Odie was loading. In fact the singing starts as soon as he loads the first shell.
Why am I so obsessed with this one in particular?
Over two years later, and I still things LasagnaCat’s brief return is still one of the greatest things to happen in human history.
Just wait another 5 years and we get more.

Thank you for that accolade for my favorite portly, balding, and flatulent walking and singing enema of a former pop star.
big Phil Collins/Genesis fan who also loves Garfield here, and i wanna say this video does both Phil and the Garfield series justice.
The part where he's on the phone is just too good. Inspired work.
Stand back and witness culture's peak.
the only good thing justin roiland has ever done
Well rick & morty is good but yeah justin can suck my ass.
Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like uh, your opinion, man.
I watch this every morning. ❤❤❤
Wow, as someone who recently watched the whole series of Miami Vice this recreation of the pilot fucking killed me!
i literally could not be happier than i am in this moment
fbaileyart yess
I’ve been waiting for this moment all my life.
Oh lord.
Please. I will sell my SOUL for Justin's cover of that song. PLEASE.
Now do the cafe scene from Heat, but with Garfield and Jon.
That part where he calls his ex-owner to ask him if it was Odie behind the picture frame plays so well with this scene. Realizing how a good friend who he loved and trusted confused him with the picture frame makes him wonder who else close to him has also done the same. This scene gives us the first real insight into Garfield's character. We see how much he values trust and how sensitive he really is beneath the tough exterior.
Geil Ich Liebe Justin Roiland!
I never looked at it that way, but it makes perfect sense, great observation...
"When I looked at it and saw a dog... that was Odie, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, it was...you bet it was."
And just like that, he is a cat renewed.
wow. i would have missed that
....Yeah No Shit
The cough on the laughtrack gets me every time.
This is a masterpiece
Just found this channel, this man really recreated that whole miami vice scene. Take my sub
Watching a Miami Vice episode with Garfield characters with Justin Roiland singing my favourite Phil Collins song is gotta be the weirdest but best feelings i ever had
I wish i could like this twice
The vocals after Garfield hangs up the phone killed me. Holy cow, this one is incredible.
It's Roiland dude lmao
This video is criminally underrated
the fact that the search ID picked the music used as the real Phil Collins track is hilarious
It’s amazing how much effort this channel puts into its content
This would unironically make a great movie. Just look at that lighting at 3:33
I love how accurate the recreation is, to the point that even the background changes colors. Wunderbar
I can’t believe Justin Roiland worked on Lasagna Cat

can we just appreciate for a moment how good miami vice was as a telvision show
god bless michael mann
This is such a perfect parody, it shot for shot recreates this scene beautifully. Miami Vice is the best
I just love how the quality and format for this video was shot. Really gives off an 80's vibe to it.
It's like it's intentional or something.
Funny little coincidence: Crockett's wife Caroline wears a similar shirt in the original scene, as Jon (in the comics and other Lasagnacat videos). A light blue polo(ish) shirt.
Kostas Zevlas you need to look up the definition of coincidence
@@sublimeade Jon wore that shirt for the inception of Garfield, that's what I mean with "coincidence".
Will there be a third season of Lasagna Cat?
Maybe in three years from now? To keep the 9 year rhythm?
Maybe if Garfield ever ends
I doubt it. The sex survey result's ending was pretty final.
I hope one day we get a 3rd season. Even if it takes years, like the second.
Roiland really killed it with this one! That beat dropped hard!
lmao
you gotta chill 😭
remember all of that to say to Jim Davis the equivalent of Not funny didn't laugh
Combining two national treasures: Garf and Justin Roiland.
