My Discord has too much power because What the Hell was this??

I am so, so confused and just, you people knew what I was getting into here. Which I mean, fair, granted, I would so the same too, but the dedication to the weirdness is what kills me.

This is just an hour long youtube satire video dedicated to why this ONE specific Garfield strip is the ultimate symbol of art on God’s Green Earth. And I fullheartedly believe this is satire, because 1) it is too weird and exaggerated to be real and 2) I fear for the world if this guy is serious, so for the sake of humanity he is not real.

The dedication to this, the effort put into what amounts to be a tumblr conspiracy thesis, it is awe inspiring really. This guy never cuts away, never takes a break, never flinches. It is done ALL in one take. Can you imagine trying to talk bullshit for an hour and someone not stutter or flinch or anything?? God I hope this guy was reading off of a teleprompter because if he had to memorize this entire thing that would be insane. Not to mention the background effects and editing of side cameras and comic edits. I can’t imagine how long THAT took on top of the ONE HOUR TAKE!

Then there is the crap that he was actually saying. When I was listening…I was sort of following it at the beginning. I at least got it was satire right off the bat so I was proud of me. But then he lost me. It was like a tidal wave of words washing over me only to recede to the surf before the next wave hit. I wasn’t watching as much as listing to his monotone explaining why The Pipe Strip was the best thing since slice bread. I don’t think I can even remember all the points he went over. Color Blindness, passive vs active aggression, comic structure, the devil (I think) were just some of the things he went over. And even then that barely covers anything of what this video was.

Overall: if you like weird shit, this is weird shit. Weird Shit dressed in a trench coat having fun making pretending to be professional. Will probably never watch it again, but it exists in the world. I have to give him props for that.
