The Pipe Strip is what the 1970s regarded as "surreal"/"absurdist" humor. The fact that it is so tame now that it doesn't even register as humor says a lot about the past 50 years.
In case anybody truly doesn't get it, the joke is that a cat is smoking. Cats don't smoke. Humans smoke. The joke is that a cat is doing a human activity. Early Garfield was simple like that. Such was the state of 1970's newspaper comedy. Edit: And also it's kinda funny that Garfield just steals Jon's human stuff with regard.
Alright, the punchline is that John knows Garfield so well that when his pipe is missing, he doesn’t even look around and immediately knows it’s Garfield
I owned a Garfield strip compilation book. It has like 600 Garfield comics in it. It was 3 inches thick. It has this one, and I always figured the joke was cat smoking. My understanding of the joke never left that station
@@stickitydoodah I mean, it kinda is. The joke is both. It's that 1) a cat is smoking and 2) it's doing so so often that its human automatically knows it has his pipe
The last canonical appearance of Lyman in official Garfield material was him chained up in the basement in a Halloween flash game from the old Garfield website. So I'm not sure he's doing too well
Jack. I simply cannot understand how on EARTH you don’t like The Pipe Strip. My grandfather was once captivated by this particular strip. He’d read me and my 8 brothers The Pipe Strip every night at bedtime. It’s the most wonderful and impactful memory I have of him. R.I.P Grandpa Jim :(
Try to understand from an outside perspective, without nostalgia attached the strip is pretty unfunny to me and most people, and I literally collected the first 58 Garfield books
9:02 Fun fact: Alf and Garfield have canonically met in a drug psa crossover. In said crossover Alf threatened to eat Garfield if he didn't help beat some kids drug addiction
Could you please delete the last two words from your original post? I'd like that comment a lot more if it didn't say drug addiction at the end. A LOT more! 😌
@@WolfRider2002 I just really wanted it to say "In said crossover Alf threatened to eat Garfield if he didn't help beat some kids", but the truth is just as well, I guess. Thanks for humoring me 😆
In case you missed it like Jack did, on the Loss Garfield, theres smoke coming through the hospital blankets, garfield is hiding the pipe still! Now that's dedication!
Unfortunately, Lyman never really caught on. He's probably the most unknown Garfield character. Probably only old fogies like Jack and myself remember him.
@@hamishclark3171 It's funny you say that because there's a Garfield video game titled "Garfield: Caught in the Act" that has some Halloween flavor in it. It came out waaaay back in 1995 for Windows, Sega Genesis, Game Gear, and the IBM Personal Computer. And yes, I do have the game, but I've never finished it.
I'll give you a quick rundown on the painting: this is not a pipe (ceci n'est pas une pipe) basically every artist at the time was getting way too extra with his art, so this dude decided to make a painting without being too extra which in turn made him super extra. While other artists go "I used pink here to represent the fleeting desire of makind 🧐" you've got this dude who's like "it's not a pipe, it's a painting with colours on it...it's a paper with calculated oil paint to create an illusion, a signifier if you will, to communicate to people the idea of the physical object known as a pipe" so basically that was a meme eons before memes were a thing...a surrealist, trolly meme that had a lot of backlash from people who thought it was about nihilism.
Dude Garfeild is one of the greatest feats of all time, after failing with a more thoughtfull comic, Jim Davis cynically made a watered down mass apeal mascot character and built an licensing empire, which makes Garfeild a stroke of genius

@@shizuoheiw "very intelligent as is evidenced by the massive empires" That is not evidence of intelligence, which is my point. Economic success is not evidence of intelligence, maybe someone brainwashed you into thinking that, but it's simply not the case. There are TONS of people who are successful for decades who are not even close to being geniuses. Some just found something that made money and kept repeating that formula, some stomp on others to get success for themselves. Others are geniuses of course, but having economic success for decades DOES NOT automatically make you a genius. "a youtuber catching the algorithm for a moment is completely different" I know, that's why I didn't use that example. The fact that you're twisting my words proves you have very little to say about what I ACTUALLY said. "your comparison is not apples to apples and thus doesn't really work" I used a comparison of TV executives that also had success "catching the masses over several time periods" so how on Earth is that not apples to apples?
Deadass Chris Pratt is playing Garfield, you fucking called the shots Jack, I don’t know how you did it. Chris Pratt is now voicing Garfield and it’s real.
When I was 18, 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life, I saw a vision of clarity. I saw a comic strip, a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me, changed my being, changed who I am, made me who I am, enlightened me. The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new, no more then maybe a month and a half since inception, since... since coming into existence, and there it was before me in print, I saw it, a comic strip. What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that. I will get to this later, but first, let us just say he is Jon, a plain man, and then there is a cat, Garfield. This is the nature of the world here. When I see the world, the...the politics, the future, the... satellites in space, and the people who put them there, you could look at everything as a man and a cat. Two beings, in harmony, and at war. So this strip I saw about this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see.... yes, hmm, it is about everything, this little comic is, oh... lo and behold not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic and it hit me all at once, its power, I clipped it and every day I looked at it and I said, okay, let me look at this here, what is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful? Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed, comfortable in his home and he reads his newspaper. The news of the world perhaps. Then he extends his fingers, lightly, delicately, he taps his fingers on an end table and he feels for something. What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. Then he looks up, slightly cockeyed and he thinks... his newspaper in his lap now, and he thinks this: "Now where could my pipe be?" This... I always come to this, because I was a young man, I'm older now, and I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks: "Now where could my pipe be?", and then it happens, you see it, you see... it's almost like divine intervention, suddenly, it is there, and it overpowers you, a cat is smoking a pipe. It is the mans pipe, it's Jon's pipe, but the cat, this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe, and from afar, and from someplace near, but not clear... near but not clear, the man calls out, Jon calls out, he is shocked. "Garfield!" he shouts. Garfield, the cats name. But let's take a step back. Let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives, and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my fathers house. The newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized his sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, landed on the kitchen floor. I picked up the picture pages and saw up somewhere near the top of this strip, just like Jon, I too was wearing an aquamarine shirt, so I thought, "Hah! Interesting, I'll have to see this later." I snipped out the little comic and held onto it, and 5 days later, I re-examined, and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this. The information I had was minimal, but enough. An orange cat named Garfield. Okay, that seemed to be the linchpin of this whole operation. Yes, another clue, a signature on the bottom right corner, a mans name, Jim Davis. Yes, I'm onto it for sure, so. 1. Garfield, orange cat, and 2. Jim Davis, the creator of this cat, and that curiously plain man. I did not know at the time that his name was Jon. The strip, you see, had no mention of this mans name, and, I've never seen it before. But I had these clues. Jim Davis, Garfield. And then I saw more, I spotted the tiny copyright at the upper left corner, copyright 1978, to... what is this? Copyright belongs to a "PAWS Incorporated"? I used the local library and mail services to track down the information I was looking for. Jim Davis, a cartoonist, who created a comic strip about a cat, Garfield, and a man, Jon Arbuckle. Well from that point on I made sure I read the Garfield comic strips, but as I read each one, as each day passed, the strips seemed to resonate with me less and less. I sent letters to PAWS Incorporated, long letters, pages upon pages, asking if Mr. Jim Davis could somehow publish just the one comic, over and over again, it would be meditative, I wrote, the strength of that, could you imagine? But, no response. The strips lost their power, and eventually I stopped reading, but... I did not want my perceptions deluded so I vowed to read the pipe strip over and over again. That is what I called it, "The Pipe Strip", The Pipe Strip. Everything about it is perfect, I can only describe it as a miracle creation, something came together, the elements aligned. It is like the comets, the cosmic orchestra that is up there over your head. The immense, enormous void is working all for one thing, to tell you one thing. Gas, and rock and purity and... Nothing! I will say this, when I see the pipe strip, and I mean every single time I look at the lines, the colors, the shapes, that make up the three panel comic, I see perfection. Do I find perfection in many things? Some things I would say, some things are perfect. And this is one of them. I can look at the little tuft of hair on Jon Arbuckle's head, it is the perfect shade, the purple pipe in Garfield's mouth, how could a mere mortal even make this? I have a theory about Jim Davis, after copious research, and yes of course now we have the internet, and all this information is now readily available but... Jim Davis, he used his life experiences to influence his comic. Like I mentioned before, none of them seemed to have the weight of The Pipe Strip, but you have to wonder about the man who is able to even, just once, create the perfect form, a literally flawless execution of art, brilliance! Just as an award, I think there is a spiritual element at work. I've seen my share of bad times, and when you have something, well, it's just, emotions and neurons in your brain, but something tells you it's the truth, truth's radiant light. Garfield the cat? Neurons in my brain, it's, it's harmony you see, Jon and Garfield, it's truly harmony, like a continuous looping everlasting harmony. The lavender chair, the brown end table, the salmon colored wall, the forest green carpet, and Garfield is hunched, perched perhaps, with the pipe stuck firmly between his jowls, his tail curls around. It's more then shapes too because... I... Okay, stay with me, I've done this experiment several times. You take the strip, you trace only the basic elements. You can do anything, you can simplify the shapes down to just blobs, just outlines, but it still makes sense. You can replace the blobs with magazine cutouts of other things, replace Jon Arbuckle with a car parked in a driveway sideways, cut that out of a magazine, stick it in, replace it there in the second panel with a, a food processor, okay. And then we put a picture of the planet in the third panel over Garfield. It still works. These are universal proportions, I don't know how best to explain why it works, I have studied The Pipe Strip, and analyzed Jon and Garfield's proportions against several universal mathematical constants: e, pi, the Golden Ratio, the Feigenbaum constants and so on, and it's surprising, scary, how things align. You can take just tiny pieces of the pipe strip for instance, take Jon's elbow from the second panel, and take that and project it over Jon's entire shape in the second panel, and you'll see a near perfect Fibonacci sequence emerge.
"let's make chris pratt the new voice of garfield" bro you foreshadowed the new garfield movie's garfield VA, because chris is voicing garfield in the new sony animations garfield movie coming in 2024
8:01 Apparently, in an interview where asking where lynman was, Jim Davis joked “don’t look in Jon’s basement”. Also, in the Garfield horror game scary scavenger hunt where you collect doughnuts in a haunted house, lynman is in Jon’s basement. (And in the second game, his head is inside the oven). Yes I do have no life thanks for noticing. :)
Most Garfield comics are not intended to be amusing or funny... their only purpose is to make you go "huh?" "oh" or "hmm". The are effectively to remind you how dull life really is.
The Garfield at 11:14 is actually Jon from the comic where Jon asked why they call it an oven when you of in the cold food and of out hot eat the food. Good touch.
it's not as unfunny as people say it is but it's kind of like the type of humor a commercial would have, kind of funny but it doesn't make you laugh out load like a regular jackfilms video would. 10/10 cinematic masterpiece must watch
As a French, I have to go against my natural instinct to claim everything is from my country: Rene Magritte, the “this is not a pipe” artist was Belgian. At the same time, I thought for a long time that Garfield was a British comic so what do I know…

It is the mans pipe, it's Jon's pipe, but the cat, this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe, and from afar, and from someplace near, but not clear... near but not clear, the man calls out, Jon calls out, he is shocked. "Garfield!" he shouts. Garfield, the cats name. But let's take a step back. Let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives, and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my fathers house. The newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized his sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, landed on the kitchen floor. I picked up the picture pages and saw up somewhere near the top of this strip, just like Jon, I too was wearing an aquamarine shirt, so I thought, "Hah! Interesting, I'll have to see this later." I snipped out the little comic and held onto it, and 5 days later, I re-examined, and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this. The information I had was minimal, but enough. An orange cat named Garfield. Okay, that seemed to be the linchpin of this whole operation. Yes, another clue, a signature on the bottom right corner, a mans name, Jim Davis. Yes, I'm onto it for sure, so. 1. Garfield, orange cat, and 2. Jim Davis, the creator of this cat, and that curiously plain man. I did not know at the time that his name was Jon. The strip, you see, had no mention of this mans name, and, I've never seen it before. But I had these clues. Jim Davis, Garfield. And then I saw more, I spotted the tiny copyright at the upper left corner, copyright 1978, to... what is this? Copyright belongs to a "PAWS Incorporated"? I used the local library and mail services to track down the information I was looking for. Jim Davis, a cartoonist, who created a comic strip about a cat, Garfield, and a man, Jon Arbuckle. Well from that point on I made sure I read the Garfield comic strips, but as I read each one, as each day passed, the strips seemed to resonate with me less and less. I sent letters to PAWS Incorporated, long letters, pages upon pages, asking if Mr. Jim Davis could somehow publish just the one comic, over and over again, it would be meditative, I wrote, the strength of that, could you imagine? But, no response. The strips lost their power, and eventually I stopped reading, but... I did not want my perceptions deluded so I vowed to read the pipe strip over and over again. That is what I called it, "The Pipe Strip", The Pipe Strip. Everything about it is perfect, I can only describe it as a miracle creation, something came together, the elements aligned. It is like the comets, the cosmic orchestra that is up there over your head. The immense, enormous void is working all for one thing, to tell you one thing. Gas, and rock and purity and... Nothing! I will say this, when I see the pipe strip, and I mean every single time I look at the lines, the colors, the shapes, that make up the three panel comic, I see perfection. Do I find perfection in many things? Some things I would say, some things are perfect. And this is one of them. I can look at the little tuft of hair on Jon Arbuckle's head, it is the perfect shade, the purple pipe in Garfield's mouth, how could a mere mortal even make this? I have a theory about Jim Davis, after copious research, and yes of course now we have the internet, and all this information is now readily available but... Jim Davis, he used his life experiences to influence his comic. Like I mentioned before, none of them seemed to have the weight of The Pipe Strip, but you have to wonder about the man who is able to even, just once, create the perfect form, a literally flawless execution of art, brilliance! Just as an award, I think there is a spiritual element at work. I've seen my share of bad times, and when you have something, well, it's just, emotions and neurons in your brain, but something tells you it's the truth, truth's radiant light. Garfield the cat? Neurons in my brain, it's, it's harmony you see, Jon and Garfield, it's truly harmony, like a continuous looping everlasting harmony. The lavender chair, the brown end table, the salmon colored wall, the forest green carpet, and Garfield is hunched, perched perhaps, with the pipe stuck firmly between his jowls, his tail curls around. It's more then shapes too because... I... Okay, stay with me, I've done this experiment several times. You take the strip, you trace only the basic elements. You can do anything, you can simplify the shapes down to just blobs, just outlines, but it still makes sense. You can replace the blobs with magazine cutouts of other things, replace Jon Arbuckle with a car parked in a driveway sideways, cut that out of a magazine, stick it in, replace it there in the second panel with a, a food processor, okay. And then we put a picture of the planet in the third panel over Garfield. It still works. These are universal proportions, I don't know how best to explain why it works, I have studied The Pipe Strip, and analyzed Jon and Garfield's proportions against several universal mathematical constants: e, pi, the Golden Ratio, the Feigenbaum constants and so on, and it's surprising, scary, how things align. You can take just tiny pieces of the pipe strip for instance, take Jon's elbow from the second panel, and take that and project it over Jon's entire shape in the second panel, and you'll see a near perfect Fibonacci sequence emerge.
too long, didn’t read 😎
@Justin Z. that’s a whole ducking lot more than a paragraph
Long =/= funny

@Justin Z. I beg of you, watch the original video. It is well worth it
This is a philosophical piece. Don't you dare "fix" it
9:18 i like how this one recontextualizes Jon yelling GARFIELD!! From being angry to yelling his name out of fear and concern
3:43 aged well. jack is a prophet
The pipe comic is the ultimate proof that God loves us
Someone else watched Night Mind, huh?
only because it made this YIAY possible
Body count. Nice
the ultimate proof that god loves is, is that i survived that time i got hit by a car and now im in debt

Sometimes you just need someone to lean on.
8:01 Apparently, in an interview where asking where lynman was, Jim Davis joked “don’t look in Jon’s basement”.
Also, in the Garfield horror game scary scavenger hunt where you collect doughnuts in a haunted house, lynman is in Jon’s basement. (And in the second game, his head is inside the oven).
Yes I do have no life thanks for noticing. :)
I love how he predicted Pratt voicing garf in the "new" movie
Never thought I'd see a crossover between Garfield and Diary of a Wimpy Kid of all things
Zoo-Wee Mama!
I've been expecting it all my life
Dude, tag your video spoilers! Some of us are scrolling through the comments as we watch you know
you dream simple, insignificant dreams
Most Garfield comics are not intended to be amusing or funny... their only purpose is to make you go "huh?" "oh" or "hmm". The are effectively to remind you how dull life really is.
this is so deep guys
Bizzare how such a comic inspired such absurdist works.
No
No
i went HUH? OHHH! hmm... when i got hit by a car and now im in debt
3:49 I can’t believe I’m looking back on this and dude straight up predicted Chris Pratt Garfield, he cursed us 😭
"Hey internet, not everything has to be sexualized." Hey Jack, there is a reason why rule 34 is a rule. Garfield is NOT an exception.
Hell, there’s even some of Jack.
is there a rule 34 for that time i got hit by a car and now im in debt
@@igothitbyacarandnowimindeb2930 Pretty sure that falls in line with Rule 35 in some rule lists. You should commission someone to make it.
I wonder if me commiting arson.... Hmmm
THEN WHATS THE FUCKING REASON
Ok it’s Fucking nuts how Jack mentions how Chris Pratt should play Garfield and now today BOOM Chris Pratt is voicing Garfield!!!

Speaking of deltarune, Spamton’s in the comic strip before the Chris Pratt one, hanging on the wall
3:23 Jack, i really want you to know that this has been living in my head rent free for three years. I hope you're happy.
Chris Pratt is voicing Garfield. Jacksfilms predicted the future.
i like how he's become self aware that him seeing these for the first time is no longer unique
This Garfield comic was never bad, you just made it worse.

I didn't know Jack could predict the future
7:53 in the Halloween Garfield game 'Garfield Scary Scavenger Hunt' Lyman can be found chained up in Jon's basement alongside bones and human skulls.
And in the second one his heads in the oven
Chris Pratt is now the new voice of Garfield. I hope you're happy Jack.
My late submission that I thought of just now:
Replace text: "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US." "MOVE ZIG!"
3:49 ”Fuck it, let’s make Chris Pratt the new voice of Garfield”
This man was warning us. And we didn’t even listen.
He didn't warn shit, *HE WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN AND HE LET IT HAPPENED!!*
THERE IS NO WAY JACK PREDICATED CHRIS PRATT AS GARFIELD
He said let’s make Chris Pratt become the real voice actor of Garfield. His wish came true.
this might be the funniest episode, i teared up laughing so hard
I completely agree!
I was cry laughing during the whole thing
5:38 draw me like one of your French pipes
First panel: *Jon reads newspaper*
Second panel: (Jon) now where could my schizophrenia pills be?
Third panel: *cuts to nothing* (Jon) Garfield!

The Alf impression - I wasn't ready. Oh Lord have mercy, I wasn't ready!
The Garfield at 11:14 is actually Jon from the comic where Jon asked why they call it an oven when you of in the cold food and of out hot eat the food. Good touch.

We thought is was just a joke
Now he IS Garfield
6:15 we make so many jokes about Jack to the Future, and i've still never seen it. should i watch it? i feel like it's funnier if i don't
it's not as unfunny as people say it is but it's kind of like the type of humor a commercial would have, kind of funny but it doesn't make you laugh out load like a regular jackfilms video would.
10/10 cinematic masterpiece must watch

"Cris pratt should be the voice of garfeld" predicted the future😂😂😂
I was expecting the "Why do they call it oven...?" comic. You betrayed me, Jack! XD
I mean its in there, youve just gotta look really hard
The council rlly hates those submissions because they're easy and really spammy
As a French, I have to go against my natural instinct to claim everything is from my country: Rene Magritte, the “this is not a pipe” artist was Belgian.
At the same time, I thought for a long time that Garfield was a British comic so what do I know…
3:49 He predicted Garfield being voiced by Chris Pratt in the new Garfield movie☠️
"let's make chris pratt the new garfield"
AN OMEN
You know Jack is having fun when he puts his hand on the wall.
3:50 BRO HE WAS JOKING 😭 😭 😭
That thing about making Chris Pratt Garfield has aged horribly or perfectly depending on your perspective
Yeah, perfectly if you're INSANE
But seriously, was frank welker too much to ask?
yes
John, Chris Pratt is voicing Garfield. The prophecy is true. You're the new simpsons
7:05 the joke is that jon is on drugs
I can't believe he predicted Chris Pratt being Garfield.
"Let's make Chris Pratt the new voice of Garfield." Jack you fucking prophet.
"Ellis, what did you just do?"
"Hey!"
(Chris Pratt voicing Garfield becomes real)
Jack why would you do this to us? You willed Garfield Pratt into existence
"fuck it, let's make chris pratt the new voice of garfield!"
uh oh

I love the pipe strip so much I could (and have) watch an hour long retrospective on that specific comic

“What’s that Johnson? Chris Pratt as the new Garfield? Brilliant!”
“Sir, what?”
“It’ll be the revival of America’s fat cat we’ve all been waiting for.”
“S-sir, I was just watching a video and it was a j-“
“Nah, nah, I got him on the phone right now.”
“Garfield, you say? Well, I’ve got that Mario thing soon, but… ahh yeah. Put me down for that too.”
“Pleasure talking, Chris. Johnson, you might’ve just saved our 2023 Q4 lineup. Kudos!” *walks off*
“Sir? S-… whatever.”
Congratulations, you're a prophet.
