@@BagOfMagicFood I'm confused. I get Raditz + Double Sunday = reference! But why would it be bad for him? Is there something wrong with the Double Sunday? Or is there something wrong with being Raditz? And if being Raditz is pain, and life is pain, then doesn't that mean Raditz is alive?
@@boobah5643the importance of this discussion goes far beyond DBZ "in ways I can not and will not bother" describing. Because I don't have time for that.
It was legit, probably more legit than the actual videos he is making fun of, & should be taken more serious than them … seriously though they take them seriously?!?! Lmao
You are not the voice in your head; you are the one who hears it. Unless you've been body swapped into someone else's head, then I don't know who you are.
One of my favorite body swaps was in Kirakira Precure when Yukari swaps bodies with her cat, and doesnt bat an eye at all; she just goes "neat. I wasnt doing anything else" so she decides to just be a cat today. Now I realize this was inspired from the Garfield and Friends episode: Fair Exchange
If Phelan had a nickel for every time he turned into a cat on April 1st, he'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it's happened to him twice.
This is truly a work of art. Phelous is definitely saying words that sound like they have meaning, but I don't understand a single thing he's saying when the words are put in the order they are put in.
I was kinda hoping you come up with some bullshit reasons for why the episode was super deep or something, but mocking the word-salad nature of CZcams essays is hilarious, too.
This video was incredibly informative, an absolute profound work of art! But my opinion is subjective, just like how art is. Although I will admit your ending there was all Greek to me, but I guess I can see where you are coming from. The Greek translation for the word “friend” is “philos” which sounds alot like your name Phelous. Coincidence? There is no such thing as coincidence! This rabbit hole goes even deeper and longer than this video! And Easter was just yesterday, a holiday about a rabbit. In that episode of US Acres, Wade saw the message about how the bunny rabbits is coming, so he ran off to warn his friends. Just like how this essay is also a warning, a cautionary tale about the body swap, and why it should not be attempted. I have no idea what I am typing anymore I’m just thinking of random things to make this look like a deep, well thought out, provocative comment. Anyway, seriously great work man! Look forward to see what you put out next year! A multi part documentary about Dementia Five, perhaps? It’s certainly a topic worthy of an in-depth discussion.
I gotta say... this was definitely the scariest story in the universe of all times. People will be making icebergs out of this video essay... it will lead to a GoodTimes adaptation, I tell you! It will have wooden Star Wars characters, strange gold and Tien battling the Shredder! These will definitely be some Funny Games!
I can’t wait to start my monthly subscription to Air. I appreciate that you’ve been sponsored by Air, I wouldn’t have known about this product otherwise.
Yes, but how come when characters body swap they usually talk with the voice that corresponds with their mind? Specially in animation. In _Third Rock from the Sun_ they kept the voice of the body, which makes way more sense because the voice is a product of the body.
of course! now it all doesn't make sense! body swapping can't be real because spock's brain was stollen by garfield so he could switch bodies with john on freaky friday the 13th. leaping from body to body, hoping that each body swap would be the body swap home to planet vegeta, where he could then return to being tim allen as santa. all of which proves that body swaps are a real big fat hairy deal, except that they're not. but it makes sense if you don't think about it. so because I've run out of time for this comment to make sense, I'll sum up with these thought provoking words from krusty the clown: what the hell was that?!
I came here expecting a review of one of the weirder episodes of Garfield and Friends, and instead find a Neil Breen-esque masterpiece of philosophy and insight into the human condition. What a Springtime Fool I was.

That's only 100% true, don't be sensational
Most of the world's worst people were air breathers too
Can't believe Phelous sold out to Big Air
Mmmm... not as crazy as Jerma selling out to Big Fruit.
What happens when Phelous begins writing another re-review of Mac and Me while having a complete mental collapse.
Your ability to take the piss out of something entirely without being mean is amazing, Phelan.
Everyone asks why bodyswap...
But nobody ever asks how Garfield.
How garfield became a cat god
Everytime I almost forget it’s April 1st, I see the video and thumbnail Phelous uploaded and immediately remember.
I’m so glad Phelous finally got sponsored by air, all the best videos have air in them
Can't wait for the 5-hour cut on Patreon!!
Hbomberguy : "Hi, here's a video essay about plagiarism, just under 4 hours"
Phelous : "Hold my bootlegs"
It's kinda funny how this video on Garfield was released on a Monday when you know that Garfield hates Mondays.
Such is the fate of Solomon Grundy.
I love how this whole video is basically just a giant bowl of word soup
No one wants to body swap with Bat Hero.
Essay writing 101 is defining words to boost word count. I see what you did there.
If I slow this video down to 0.25x speed then it would be about half as long as the average video essay.
It would still be missing the first two hours whining about capitalism.

finally a good april fools joke that isn't a low effort bait and switch, great job
Shout out to Phelous for providing such a helpful and effective sleep aid on a day usually used for pranks and such.
A brilliant deconstruction of late stage capitalism
What are you talking about? This is clearly a metaphor for the seven deadly sins.
It's really more of a critique of the fallacies of Hegelian Idealism, but to be fair, it's not a thing the philistine crowd can understand🙄

Body swap, the media most used trope ever.
Isekai wants to know your location.
@@asra-5180 funny both of them crossover alot
I remember hearing that amnesia is the most used trope of all time, but body swap is still pretty up there.
17:44 Goku @ Garfield: hmmm. I don't know. I think we should be enemies
Garfield: certainly

The most clear and concise Video Essay I ever watched.
Making fun of video essays. Your doing gods work.
The real April Fool is I smoked a bowl and understood this completely.
Garfield loves to eat lasagna.
Goku loves to eat food.
Lasagna is also food.
Coincidence? Most likely, but I do not believe in the coincidence.
Garfield hates Mondays.
Vegeta said: "too bad it's Sunday."
Sunday is the day before Monday.
Coincidence? Most likely. But I don't believe in Mondays.
Too bad for Raditz, it's Double Sunday!
@@BagOfMagicFood I'm confused. I get Raditz + Double Sunday = reference! But why would it be bad for him? Is there something wrong with the Double Sunday? Or is there something wrong with being Raditz? And if being Raditz is pain, and life is pain, then doesn't that mean Raditz is alive?

You can tell this is an April 1 video since if it was a real essay it'd be 6 hours long
and here i was wanting to actually hear a legit video essay behind the episode
Didn't you though?
It was legit, probably more legit than the actual videos he is making fun of, & should be taken more serious than them … seriously though they take them seriously?!?! Lmao
April Fools :)
Phelan once again proves himself the undisputed master of shitposts.
I may not have body swapped, but I sure felt like a different person after my brain melted from watching this whole video.
3:13
Body Swappers: We won...
Damn, Phelan! My entire worldview has been forever altered by the revelations of this video!
I always wanted Phelous to do a Garfield and Friends episode.
I got more than I ever expected.
Me:
expecting a retrospective of the body-swap trope in movies.
Phelous:
Let's give them a bunch of nothingness.
My mind was absolutely blown! I will never think of Body swap episodes the same way ever again!
I couldn't stop watching this.
WHY COULDN'T I STOP WATCHING THIS??!!
You had nothing else to watch.
The notion true art is the antithesis of logic validates my whole life! Thanks, Phelous! This was epic and freed me of much existential crisis!
You are not the voice in your head; you are the one who hears it. Unless you've been body swapped into someone else's head, then I don't know who you are.
Garfield in Dimension Five killed me.
I kind of want to see Garfield in Dementia Five now.
I've been debating whether to give Air a go or dismiss it as another scam, but I trust that Phelous knows what's good!
Happy April Fools Phelous! I am Surprised that Egon switching bodies with Slimer wasnt mentioned!
Goku wears orange
Garfield is orange
Phelan loves orange
It’s all connected
🍊🐈🧡
*plays X-files music*
Maybe the REAL April fools are the people who don't get fooled by April fools on April Fools Day

I come for the horror movie reviews, but stay for the Garfield.
If Phelan had a nickel for every time he turned into a cat on April 1st, he'd have two nickels which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it's happened to him twice.
The next essay will be about how to perform an Animality in real life and why Scorpion is actually a penguin.
I feel like every year you put one of these out and I slowly lose my sanity until its over. Good work!
It was ChaosD1 all along!!!
April Fool's day is like The national holiday in Phelanada. No expense is spared for the festivities. XD
this is brilliant!!! perfect example of why i love this channel. keep it up man !!

What a spectacular video essay!
This air stuff sounds pretty good. Thanks for the promotional code!
I'm totally here for this. 😊😊 also getting strong Rob Gavagan vibes from this video as well. Very nice.
I was kinda hoping you come up with some bullshit reasons for why the episode was super deep or something, but mocking the word-salad nature of CZcams essays is hilarious, too.
Your voice is the most fantastic mix of SEW, Quinton Reviews, and Xavier Renegade Angel.
Dude... You are blowing my mind! I mean, really there is no mind left to blow. thank you Phelan. happy April 1st day.

I was sold on "Throughout the beginning of time."
Was looking forward to this one this year
Happy April Fools Day Phelous
It's like you combined Intro to Lit at a junior college, with meth, pot, and stream of consciousness writing.
And a happy April fools to you too Phelous!
We really went on a journey with this one.
Thank you for enlightening us with this clear, direct essay. My mind has been here and heard words🧠
I'm so glad he got a sponsorship for this video. And it was a product I love and just can't live without- air!
I gotta say... this was definitely the scariest story in the universe of all times. People will be making icebergs out of this video essay... it will lead to a GoodTimes adaptation, I tell you!

😂 The episode where Phelan accidentally proves time is a circle 😋
I mean back in the 90s a cat man would be crazy but now....😂😂😂
Always look forward to your April fools day vids ♡
*enter Tim and Eric mindblown gif here* 🤯
Great video essay. Happy April Fools day.
What wonderful way to start off April Fools day also great job with this video phelous
i agree, it IS wrong to cut mick foleys hair
Says a lot that I was thinking this is just Phelous being Phelous until I considered the circumstances of the release.
Aw sweet, I've always wondered what Phelous would sound like if he was Xavier: Renegade Angel
It's as if they... swapped bodies!
Man, this is one of the best essays ever.
Part 2 when?
These truly were some RARE EXPLAINS.
I love this channels April fools day videos.
I swear: I woke up this morning and my body was swapped with a sack of potatoes.
I can’t wait to start my monthly subscription to Air. I appreciate that you’ve been sponsored by Air, I wouldn’t have known about this product otherwise.
Watching high. I have no idea what is going on
10/10
Happy April Fools Day Phelan!
Phelous you forgot the most crucial component! The creatures in nature who have naturally mastered body swapping! Emus!
This video gave me chills.
I love you Mr Phelous...Happy April 1st❤
I feel like I'm going through an acid trip on this video. 😅
Yes, but how come when characters body swap they usually talk with the voice that corresponds with their mind? Specially in animation. In _Third Rock from the Sun_ they kept the voice of the body, which makes way more sense because the voice is a product of the body.
Genuinely losing my mind while listening to this, oh my god. Perfection! XD
It all makes sense now

I hope Phelous keeps parodying different content formats every April Fools til the end of time.
Complete deep dive in comprehensive history of rise and fall
This video will be talked about for years !!!! Or even days !! 🙀
I came here expecting a review of one of the weirder episodes of Garfield and Friends, and instead find a Neil Breen-esque masterpiece of philosophy and insight into the human condition.
What a Springtime Fool I was.
Plot twist - Phelan becomes the new Robert Stack of “Unsolved Mysteries”.. or will Waboo?
I learned so much from this video! Just wish I remember what those were....
Oh yes, both Garfield and Goku love food!
I was staring at this thumbnail thinking wtf... for about thirty seconds, before I remembered that Arbor Day was last week.
I cant with the chillz
I like Air.
The mid video ad break really got to me
