The ’80s Garfield Craze Was Due To A Dumb Toy Mistake

Clearly, this wasn’t the original intent because the toy’s commercial advertised a myriad of uses for the product, including hiding Garfield inside a washing machine, sticking him to a grand piano, and placing him on a TV screen while you have sex on the couch under the leering gaze of America’s favorite fat cat.

But because people in the ‘80s were obsessed with affixing kitschy nonsense to their vehicles, the car window is where Garfield made his home — where he also probably saw his fair share of couples having sex. If you were born between 1987 and 1990, you should probably just assume you were conceived next to a grinning stuffed Garfield.
