I pretty much agree, as its cynicism-for-its-own-sake is right up there with "ACTUALLY the bad guys from classic literature are the good guys and vice-versa!!!" but you can still appreciate the level of skill and dedication in something like this. Well. MAYBE you can, blackheart

iirc the office is the most watched show in history next to friends neither of which i've seen a full season of, the latter even an episode. is this why i relate to no one IRL? is this why i spend every single day in agonizing desolation? this why i often fart in me own mouth?
I wonder similar things, but I actually think the order goes "unable to relate to anyone, ergo never watching 'improv troupe struggling to come up with funny lines' and 'oblivious lovely white people from your high school'"

You know, I'm kind of surprised Big Garfield is so unprotective of its brand. Like, apart from the folly of opening the restaurant itself, there's also the fact that none of the Garfeats social media posts read like they're at all "true to the character" and of course there's the fact that Nathen is publicly going insane(er).

I guess they got their lump sum of money so they don't care tho.
It is a tiny bit surprising since Jim Davis did take down one of Lasagna Cat's videos, but... considering the ones they did not take down, I think anything increasing Garfield Awareness is seen as a net positive. Which, well, is probably the right way to think about it.

He showed Nathen's YouTube? video talking about the coverup and how Bill Gates probably created COVID-19 because Microsoft is benefitting so strongly from this (the author pointing out Bill Gates does not in fact work at Microsoft though that is hardly the main reason Nathen should go to jail for this), covered how incredibly weird it is that Nathen, not Garfield, is the focal point of so much advertising, and questioned how this business of all businesses is expanding rather than collapsing right now.

It ended with the aforementioned Cameo of Nathen explaining "Entergagement," which, wow, sounds even dumber when explained as how someone would choose to be entergaged with the GarfieldEATS APPPPP as a form of multitasking while working on a spreadsheet or something amazing like that.

Edit: Oh yeah, he did also make fun of Nathen for hyping up how he is the world's youngest Garfield licensee and was like "28 is not that young, dude. Plus what, if you were 21, that would not be impressive, just strange"

Nah, as I recall it all started as a pop-up restaurant in Dubai, long gone now.
The Dubai restaurant also had by far the better-sounding menu, though I realize just because the food claimed to have delicious Middle Eastern spices involved does not mean the food actually tasted good.

But I got the same sense of missing out when looking at the Dubai menu as I did when I got dragged to Domino's in England and discovered "Indonesian-spiced chicken skewers with hot chili dip" were just an ordinary food item, and thought about how that was singlehandedly better than anything on the entire U.S. Domino's menu

Why would they so long as the failures only affect Nathen? IP owners get $X just for saying yes to a licensee, and the only easier money than that is making $Y if the venture succeeds and they get a share of the profits in addition to the license fee. His anti-vax posts aside Nathen hasn't really done anything that actively or directly damaged Garfield as a brand. Kind of like how Hulk Hogan's brand value wasn't affected by the quick and total failure of his Pastamania restaurant. It was the secret sex tapes with his racist rants that torpedoed him. If Nathen just keeps doing the same old over and over, all that really means is that a bunch of media conglomerates will have made more money than they otherwise would have if he didn't bother with licensing at all.
I have no doubt that if anything Nathen increased Garfield's value. The Infinite Irony crowd online ate that poo poo up, and suddenly my friends on Instagram were following official Garfield accounts.

This is kind of like how the Ghostbusters reboot created a surge of Ghostbusters legacy sales from the triggered MRA snowflake crowd who were angry about the new movie, ensuring that it was a success even without being profitable on its own.

The best part is the MRA assholes ranted and raved about the whole “all female” angle when the correct play was to point out that the movie was objectively terrible on its own merits.
Well and my favorite was people who were criticizing it for being terrible before it came out, and getting angry when accused of sexism.

Regardless, we can all agree a new Ghostbusters reboot starring Jim Davis characters would be fantastic

I think the real answer is that she is of the YouTube Personality variety where every video is in part a continuation of plot threads from previous videos that must be addressed in addition to discussing whatever new content you have.
