* HumorlessAliens: In one animated segment, aliens have come to steal Earths' sense of humor, since humor is a lethal weapon to them.

** AdaptationExpansion: The version of the story presented on ''GarfieldAndFriends'' had Wade freeing a bull mid-story, so that things would continue to happen after Roy undoes the hypnotism, culminating with [[spoiler:Wade ''[[TheSoCalledCoward standing up against the bull despite his fears]]'']].

* TakeThat: In the AnimatedAdaptation, when Orson told Booker and Sheldon the tale of the Hare and the Tortoise, the two of them decided to make it more interesting. When one of them suggested the tortoise could be a [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles ninja]], the other rejected the idea, asking who'd want to see it. It's odd coming from two kids who usually believe EverythingIsBetterWithNinjas.

* YouWouldntHitAGuyWithGlasses: [[http://www.garfield.com/usacres/vault.html?yr=2012&addr=120420 A worm invoked the trope to avoid a beating from Booker. Booker was initially proud to have shown "chickens do have hearts" but later banged his head on a tree out of frustration once he remembered "worms don't have eyes".

---> '''Roy:''' Okay, Booker. It's time you started rooster training.
---> '''Booker:''' Why?
---> '''Roy:''' Because you need to practice if you want to be like me.
---> '''Booker:''' I'd rather drink pond scum!
---> '''Roy:''' Good! You've got the Obnoxious part down!

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: When Orson explains to Booker that he's named that because he loves books, his response is "I'm just glad you don't love kumquats". While this was probably just been a use of InherentlyFunnyWords, FundamentallyFunnyFruit, or both, he may have been implying his name would be "Kummer". Say that out loud.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Cody and Blue mysteriously disappear sometime around the strip's final year. Perhaps done in order to avoid comparisons to [[{{Garfield}} Jim Davis's more famous cat and dog]].

* PortableHole: Booker ripped one from the ground so the worm he was chasin would be stuck underground.

* YourHeadAsplode: [[http://www.garfield.com/usacres/vault.html?yr=2011&addr=110609 June 9, 1987]].
