History Recap / GarfieldAndFriendsS1E03

* AnAesop: Everyone has something unique about them, so don't be ashamed about it.

* AnAesop: People won't want to be friends with you if you're mean.

* CrashingDream: At the end of his nightmare, as Garfield is begging for his life, Odie starts licking him, prompting him to cry "No, they're basting me!", before waking up saying he knew that slurp.

* ExtremeOmnivore: Garfield's uncontrollable appetite leads him to devour a hot-dog shaped food stand ("I wish I had a mustard factory around here to eat!") and empty a kiddie pool of water.

* HoldTheUnsolicitedIngredient: Averted. Garfield (being a cat) is disappointed that the pizza Jon ordered didn't have any anchovies.

* TalkingYourWayOut: After growing to giant proportions, Garfield then picks up Jon high in the air as while Odie can only watch helplessly and beg for Jon's return. Jon is able to talk his way back to the ground with Odie when he promises Garfield a hundred pizzas (with anchovies this time).

** Garfield remarks that he was "afraid this nightmare might get silly"--after he's already grown to the size of a giant, is climbing a skyscraper a la King Kong, and has the Air Force trying to shoot him down.

* IgnoredAesop: When Garfield wakes up from his nightmare, Jon offers him a pan of lasagna as an apology for yelling at him about the pizza. Garfield, however, rejects the lasagna, and exclaims, "That's it! I'm going on a strict diet for twenty pounds." But then he picks up the lasanga, adding, "...or, for twenty minutes, whichever comes first."

* OffscreenTeleportation: Jon orders a pizza without Garfield knowing. After getting the pizza, he speeds into his room and barricades himself in, only to find upon opening the box Garfield has somehow slipped into the box and eaten the pizza.

* ThisBillboardNeedsSomeSalt: Garfield eats a ShapedLikeWhatItSells hot dog stand at one point. He then says "I wish I had a mustard factory around here to eat'"

* BigEater: Garfield's tendency of this is taken UpToEleven. He eats ''at least'' 4 billion+ hamburgers, 100 pizzas, and 100 tons of lasagna, entire bulldozers' worth of hams and watermelons, and eventually every bit of food in the entire town, '''and is still hungry.'''

* ExtremeOmnivore: Garfield's uncontrollable appetite leads him to devour a hot-dog shaped food stand ("I wish I had a mustard factory around here to eat!") and empty a kiddie pool of water. Later, Jon remarks that there aren't even any paper towels in the local grocery store.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Jon, before the dream sequence. He asks "How could anyone eat a jumbo mushroom, pineapple, sausage, pepper, olive, onion, meatball, Canadian bacon and pimento pizza all by himself?" when seeing Garfield consumed the whole pizza. The thing is -- Jon wanted to eat that whole pizza by himself! Matter of fact, Jon's the one who ordered that jumbo 8-topping pizza.

* PyrrhicVillany: Butch succeeds in stealing Odie's bone permanently, but his nastiness in doing so drives his friends away, so he's left with nothing ''but'' the bone.

* AcidRefluxNightmare: It's implied Garfield nightmare came from eating an entire pizza.

* BalloonBelly: To the point where ''his whole body'' starts expanding.
* BigEater: Garfield's tendency of this is taken UpToEleven. ''He eats 4 billion+ hamburgers, 100 pizzas, and 100 tons of lasagna'' '''and is still hungry.'''

* WouldHurtAChild: (Possibly?) subverted. Garfield being thirsty after eating an entire hot dog stand spots a backyard pool with two kids playing in it. However, he does allow them to flee before he drinks it down.

** Jon didn't get off as fortunate in the [[https://garfield.com/comic/1987/05/17 comic strip]] this episode is based on, in which Garfield swallowed Jon whole before mass transportation of food came to Garfield unlike how in this animated adaptation Jon partook in the food transportation.
