Midnight Monday Garfs

Midnight Monday Garfs are a series of episodic memes created by Mike Kachowski, ongoing since 4/12/2020. 
== What MMG's Are ==
Midnight Monday Garf's, or MMG's for short, are created solely by Mike Kachowski, (and The Meme Lord during emergency situations), often with imgflip, and posted on The Meme Council exclusively right on the dot at midnight, consecutively. Each MMG conveys a basic theme: Impact font, typical top and bottom text, the top usually being either nonsense or a threat, while the bottom text is mostly always an altered version of the word "mondays". The image used has always contained garfield in some state or form, and while Mike has forgotten a few times where he's re-used images, every MMG is unique.
They are easily created by Mike Kachowski utilizing the Midnight Garf Effect, a term coined by The Meme Lord after noticing not only the behavioral patterns closely related to these memes, but also to the presence of Garfield in their GMOD/Discord experiences after midnight. Mike Kachowski staying up till midnight every consecutive night to post them has taken a toll indeed, as the midnight garfs slowly become more and more nonsensical and violent. 
Sometimes the MMG's aren't random and actually may convey a part-by-part story, such as the time Garf was running from the police over ketamine and each night it was revealed he committed some larger crime while on the run. To date, there are over 500+ MMG's made, with no end in sight.
== History ==
As said above, the MMG legacy started on 4/12/2020, simply as a simple joke. Mike Kachowski saw the meme as purely random and nonsensical, and thought it humorous to post it at midnight when there would barely be anybody online. He even stated that it was so late for him that he doesn't recall making some of them, especially the first one. It is possible the original inspiration came from The Meme Lord's Poorly Drawn Garf's series. However, soon after posting MMG's for 3 nights in a row, it was full steam ahead. They quickly became more elaborate, telling stories, thus creating anticipation for the next ones. What would happen to garf next?
Eventually, though, Mike Kachowski grew tired and needed more sleep for his summer job, so he made an end for his MMG's, a grand quest that eventually led to a Garfield discord server, with a congratulatory video from Figure 14.19 himself. The age of the MMG's seemed over, and they would be missed. 
Until, on 12/8/2020, Mike Kachowski continued the legacy oncemore, posting consecutive MMG's all the way until 6/20/2021, when once again he had to focus on his summer job. For the first time in MMG history, The Meme Lord crafted emergency MMG's himself, thinking Mike Kachowski was simply forgetting. In this short timeline, Garf is away, and Emergency Backup Garf G-17, a helper designed to help keep the MMG's going in order to not summon him. It is here that its implied that the MMG's are the only thing keeping Figure 14.19 from deciding whether or not to destroy our dimension, giving the MMG's a little lore. Mike Kachowski announces after 3 nights of EBGG-17 that he indeed needs to get more sleep and thus, a 'hibernation period' is made.
On 10/11/2021, the MMG's return once again, where they are posted consecutively to this day. This series of MMG's is the most elaborate yet, often featuring screenshots of GMOD and even videos. The last MMG before the current, longest-going hiatus yet was on 6/30/2022. This is the 499th MMG, and thus Mike Kachowski builds up anticipation for the 500th MMG, which he says will be incredible...if it ever comes out.
== Legacy ==
The Midnight Monday Garf's are by far one of the longest lasting Meme Council inside jokes alongside My Ride From Outer Space and Hugh Neutron Out of Touch. Many more memes have spawned out of it, perhaps the most famous being none other than the Teacher.mp4 Special Collector's Edition.
Thats right, the Teacher.mp4 Special Collector's Edition came from these memes. During the early stages of the MMG's, back before there were barely even 10 consecutive garfs, the students were deep into the vile virtual plan that Abington had put into action. Thus, the infamous moment that started a series occurred. Monahan's camera during a class happened to be a little too blurry, and with a screenshot from Mike Kachowski and a rather degenerate, nonsensical conversation taking place during this, a video by The Meme Lord was born, combining everything into the opening of Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, with MMG's taking the screens along with Monahan and Ryan/Sebastian. It was the ultimate conglomerate of one of the most nonsensical and autistic conversations to take place on the Council.
But it doesn't stop there. Later, on 12/7/2020, Monahan.mp4, the first Teacher.mp4, is created by The Meme Lord, a reference to the video mentioned above. What follows after is the simple question of "why stop there?". Soon, the Teacher.mp4 Special Collector's Edition was born, all from a complex inside joke.
