Lasagna Cat

Lasagna Cat is a web series created by production company Fatal Farm as a parody of the Garfield comic strips created by American cartoonist Jim Davis. The series was uploaded in bulk to YouTube in 2008 and 2017, and consists mainly of humorous live-action recreations of classic Garfield comics.

Format
The majority of Lasagna Cat consists of live-action reenactments of the Garfield comic strips, featuring costumed performers in the roles of Jon Arbuckle, Garfield, and Odie. Each reenactment is followed by a surreal "interlude" segment, related to themes or dialogue found in the original adapted strip. This can either be a music video set to a copyrighted song, or a different form of satirical skit. After which, a smiling mugshot of cartoonist Jim Davis is shown, sometimes edited to fit the scenario. Most of the series' videos are only a few minutes long, with the exception of "07/27/1978" and "Sex Survey Results", which are one and five hours long, respectively. The series exists mainly to satirize the original Garfield comics' style of humor and as a surreal tribute to Davis. ==Episodes==

Reception
Lasagna Cat was well received, with reviewers praising its insight into Garfield and comedy in general. A popular parody Twitter account was created in response to "07/27/1978", an hour-long episode (set to Philip Glass' score to the 1997 film Kundun) in which actor John Blyth Barrymore philosophically monologues about his adoration and obsession with a Garfield strip published on that date. Additionally, the series was cited as an inspiration in the creation of the Adult Swim short Too Many Cooks. == References ==
