Throw It In: Aubrey Plaza, the voice of Grumpy Cat, said that when she was brought in to record, most of Grumpy's dialogue wasn't written or finalized yet, and she was asked to just make up her own lines for Grumpy. Plaza spent most of the recording sessions watching the live action footage and riffing on whatever action she saw. She even went far as saying the recording sessions were "like my own MST3K".

I read somewhere that Jane Lynch was originally set to voice Grumpy Cat before Aubrey Plaza got it. Jane’s older and is known for playing cynical grouchy characters so she might’ve been the better choice (Aubrey’s still great despite this role though)

30:36 To be fair, your Santa Clause 3 review did that perfectly. You were so focused on making a heartfelt, meaningful Christmas message, you eventually realized that sometimes a simple, little message like, "Enjoy your time off," is really all you need.

Tardar Sauce lived in Arizona, and I saw her “throw” the first pitch at a Diamondbacks game. They mentioned it was going to happen when my parents bought the tickets, but I wasn’t sure what to expect. I thought maybe it was going to be a costumed mascot version of her, or they were going to press her paw on a pitching machine. Nope. They carried the actual cat (wearing a custom jersey) out onto the mound, pointed her towards home plate, pressed her left paw on the ball (the announcer made a south paw joke), and then one of her handlers threw it. She was pretty chill about it. If it were one of my cats, I can guarantee that all of that noise and that many people would them freak out and they’d run off to hide under the dugout bench.

That was some of the best meta comedy I've seen in a long time. It's one thing for Deadpool to acknowledge real, tropes and behind the scenes, but you literally broke the video with how powerful meta commentary is. I've never seen someone literally write themselves into a corner with how self aware they are. Brad really sold those four seconds of screen time and gave me a belly laugh.

Chris Pratt is gonna voice Garfield so...

I wasn't even aware of this movie's existence, much less have any desire to watch it...but now, I'm almost tempted to put myself through it just to see Aubrey Plaza pretending to be dollar store Garfield for an hour and a half. Almost.

Okay... Chaplain being at the end was legitimately a great ending. :)

Chaplin not getting a voiceover is somehow the most meta thing in this entire review.

Leave it to Chaplin to sum up a Christmas message perfectly. He's Chaplin.

Aight, this was such a perfect meta analysis of a meta movie it outmetad itself. If that's not Christmas Magic at work, I don't know what to believe anymore

Brad's delivery of "the illusion is ruined" had me laughing so hard.

As someone who lost my cat of 15 years earlier this year, as well as recently adopted two new adorable kitties that I love more than life itself, that ending was honestly perfect; just what I needed to be reminded of this year. Thank you, Doug. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Finally, after all these years, there's a brief mention of the three other KZreadrs I started watching about half my life ago, around the same time I started watching Doug's videos- Rhett, Link, and Ray William Johnson. Even if it's just via (hella old) photos, I'll take it. Now we just need some cameos from those three and the teen in me can rest happy. (I know it'll never happen. Or maybe it will, you never know. lol) Either way, happy to be watching for so long- and looking forward to what Doug and the crew have planned for the 15th anniversary next year.

Appreciating something as small as petting the cat was a good message itself. Reminded me of my little buddy, Scar. He was a rescue from outside my apartment and was the absolute sweetest animal I have ever had in my life. Sadly, after 6 months of us trying to fight an illness, it eventually took him this year on Aug 30. I miss him greatly. But I am still so proud to have saved him off the streets and have him in my life for that year he was with me.

It’s hard to tell which is worse: This or the remake of That Darn Cat?
