History FanFic / GarfieldInAlongCameASplut

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The Splut. And during the car chase, a Terminator flying machine comes completely out of nowhere and, for no given reason, begins chase. And then the Death Star appears...

* BackFromTheDead: AbrahamLincoln is inexplicably alive in the story without explanation, but is killed off just as soon as he appears due to the story saying [[InsaneTrollLogic he's supposed to be dead.]]

* GetOnWithIt: Garfield tells the writer this when the light speed chase keeps escalating on and on.

* {{Troperiffic}}: The entire story is only 1,288 words long and has very little dialogue, but it has a substantial amount of trope filled content in spite of that, largely for its [[RandomEventsPlot bizarre, stream of conscious narrative]], [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover numerous character crossovers and cameos]] and [[ReferenceOverdosed numerous pop culture references.]] It uses at ''least'' 114 tropes total, not including YMMV tropes.

* OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope: The story starts with a disclaimer saying it won't make sense unless you've read the works of SigmundFreud. It's doubtful that it would help anyway.

* CoolCar: Garfield uses [[BackToTheFuture the Delorean]] for the bulk of the story. The Batmobile also makes a brief cameo as Garfield runs into it during the chase.

* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: ''Garfield'', ''BackToTheFuture'', ''StarWars'' and many others all feature in the story.

* SequelHook: A footnote at the end reveals that while Jon Arbuckle was not in the story for several reasons, he is set up to become the next Franchise/RoboCop. The author has said he is unsure if he'll go through with making one, though.

* DeathSeeker: [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Ronald McDonald]], after falling on hard times, happily ends his life of hollow product placement by letting Garfield run him over with [[Film/BackToTheFuture the DeLorean.]]

* ProductPlacement: Garfield eats Cheese Nips in the story. The story also mentions Ronald McDonald being disillusioned with his status as this. [[spoiler: And at the end, Garfield tells the reader to [[AChristmasStory "Drink More Ovaltine."]]]]

* BigDamnHeroes: "BladeRunner" comes out of the blue during the car chase to give Garfield an extra boost of speed in order to evade the Splut.

* TookALevelInBadAss: The Splut in canon Is an unexplained, recurring but harmless nuisance. In this story, not only is it evil, nigh unstoppable and capable of reality warping and super speed, ''It can blow up the Death Star''.

* {{Troperiffic}}: The entire story is only 1,288 words long and has very little dialogue, but it has a substantial amount of trope filled content in spite of that, largely for its [[RandomEventsPlot bizarre, stream of conscious narrative]], [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover numerous character crossovers and cameos]] and [[ReferenceOverdosed numerous pop culture references.]] It uses at ''least'' 113 tropes total, not including YMMV tropes.

* SerialEscalation: The climatic past-Light speed chase. Heck, the whole fic is this.

''Garfield in: "Along Came a Splut"'' (or ''Garfield Has a Bad Day'') is a ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'' FanFic written by one Bagel Brain (or Kilroy Smythe Umbrick). The summary above is probably the most plot the fic has -- what it ''does'' have otherwise is an [[MindScrew incredible]] RandomEventsPlot where [[ReferenceOverdosed about a million references are made.]] Suffice it to say, it's probably one of the most nonsensical fanfics out there, and it's not easy to describe in words the madness it contains; it has to be read to be believed.

* {{Homage}}: A chase scene plays out [[LampshadeHanging "not unlike]] ''Film/EvilDead II''".
* HollywoodCyborg: Jon Arbuckle is being rebuilt into the next {{Robocop}} after an accident involving a baboon fused with a cat.

* SequelHook: A footnote at the end reveals that while Jon Arbuckle was not in the story for several reasons, he is set up to become the next {{Robocop}}. The author has said he is unsure if he'll go through with making one, though.

* StealthPun: The pie is briefly described as having eyes, this making it pie-eyed. After the end, Jon Arbuckle is being rebuilt into the next Robocop because he has no life.

* FlatCharacter: The Splut is given no personality traits, [[TheBlank no expressions,]] no clear motivation or [[TheSpeechless even a voice]]. It's practically a force of nature out to harm Garfield and anything that gets in it's way, although the story informally describes it as sentient, evil and having eyes, and considering Garfield fooled it with an impossibly flaccid variation of HeWentThatWay, it's certainly not very smart.

* HufflepuffHouse / RedHerring: The Batcave is mentioned to be directly below Jon Arbuckle's house, but it does not appear, since Garfield is unable to access it. And while the Batmobile ''does'' make an appearance later in the story, it has no role otherwise.

* PersonOfMassDestriction: The Splut, although it's largely a proxy of him trying to kill Garfield.

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Garfield during the car chase.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: Despite the story mentioning Superman living on Earth, Krypton is somehow still around--until the Death Stars super laser gets deflected by the Splut away from Earth, which the story says ends up destroying Krypton.
