The ninth episode of the sixth season of Garfield and Friends.
Post-Opening Sequence Line: "Critics agree; of all the TV shows on today, this is probably one of them."
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Mouse
Garfield tells the story of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the form of the scientist Dr. Jekyll's mouse going through the horrible monstrous transformation rather than Jekyll himself. An exterminator sends his cat to go get the mouse.
Tropes
- Jekyll & Hyde: Rather than Dr. Jekyll himself taking the formula and becoming Mr. Hyde, this story has the twist of Jekyll testing the formula on a mouse who ends up turning into a monster and back whenever he hiccups. Later, Jon the exterminator's cat drinks the formula to become a monster cat in order to effectively combat the mouse's monster form.
- No Ending: Garfield refuses to tell what the outcome of the monster cat vs the British police turned out to be because his microwave dinner's done.
Payday Mayday
After Roy is fired (and banished from the farm) by Orson as punishment for stealing other animals' salaries, a fox comes around conning the same animals Roy stole from of their salary money.
Tropes
- Didn't Think This Through / Idiot Ball: Both Wade and Bo for easily falling for Finagler's deceits. Off-screen it turns out Sheldon and Booker were victims of Finagler as well.
- Godzilla Threshold: Roy is summoned to produce a scam that can outwit Finagler Fox.
- Meaningful Name: The villain of the episode is named Finagler Fox. A finagler is someone who obtains goods through dishonest means, which makes it fitting that the word is used as the name of a con man.
- Shout-Out: The joke "Have you got 2 tens for a 5?" is from Abbott and Costello.
How To Drive Humans Crazy
Garfield teaches young kittens how to annoy their human masters to the max, demonstrating a paragon example of himself by tormenting Jon.
Tropes
- All for Nothing: In the instructional videos, Jon bought Garfield a very expensive (and large) scratching post playground as well as $93 worth of cat food. Garfield instead scratches Jon's sofa and eats Jon's filet mignon as while Jon has to eat the cat food himself.
- Big "SHUT UP!": From Mr. Burnside to Jon.
- Butt-Monkey: Jon.
- Humans Are Morons: Because they're too stupid to realize their cats are just Trolling them.
- Oh, Crap!: Jon, when realizing Garfield having woke up every single person on the block with loud music, has just lined up to beat Jon up holding a baseball bat, a pitchfork, a soil rake, a golf club, a batter roll, a shovel, etc.
- The Scapegoat: Jon to Garfield's antics.Jon: It was my cat! Not me! It was my cat!
- Troll: Garfield. The best time is when Garfield wakes up Jon to let him outside, only for then to change his mind when he's already at the door. He does this at least 3 times the same night before Jon gets sick of it the (4+)th time and just throws Garfield out. Was that such a good decision? (Garfield played an entire array of musical instruments and pinned all that on Jon when the pissed off neighbors came looking for whoever made all that noise)
