3287: America's Funniest Home Videos

Explanation[edit | edit source]
The only change that has been done to this strip is Garfield's line in the final panel. In the original strip, he said "I love home videos"; here, he instead mentions America's Funniest Home Videos, a long-running show on ABC in which people send in home movies of them or their family members suffering amusing injuries like the ones Jon suffers in this strip.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
This is another fairly obvious one that involves something far more familiar and has more of a point to it, that has only a minor dialogue swap to bring massive changes. I liked seeing all those stupid ones of People Falling Down to Goofy Music on that show, and even had a PC Game where you went to different parts of the house, putting together clips and sometimes slotting the clips into some Mad Libs story spoofing a particular genre (Dashing Pirates, Spy Films, Star Trek...), did ANYONE have, or even vaguely know about this game?
Original strip: 2015-04-12.
