Garfielf (Garfielf ): The Garfielf meme, a pillar of surreal internet humor, stems from a 2013 YouTube video by animator PilotRedSun, parodying Jim Davis's Garfield strip with crude MS Paint art, glitchy effects, and monotone text-to-speech. It depicts the lazy cat "Garfielf" frustrating owner Jon through overeating, Odie abuse, and laziness, with absurd lines like "I ate those food." As a satire of Garfield's clichés—Monday hatred, lasagna love—it went viral with over 14 million views, spawning imitators and "shitpost" variants on YouTube and 4chan. Its deconstruction of wholesome comics into hypnotic weirdness influenced surreal memes like Gorefield horrors, highlighting how low-effort absurdity fosters lasting online engagement.
