* In "The Perfect Match", Jon's favorite [[Creator/MarxBrothers Marx Brother]] is Zeppo. Zeppo is considered the boring brother, playing the straight man to his brothers' antics, to the point where the "boring" member of a group act would be called "the Zeppo" (although, in real life, his brothers considered him to be the wittiest of them all, being able to imitate his brothers flawlessly). One of Jon's character traits in ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} is that he's considered boring (at least by the standards of [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1989/01/30 Garfield]] and [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2005/08/05 Jon's dates]]) so it makes sense that Jon's favorite Marx Brother would be "the boring brother".

* In one episode, Garfield uses a wishing well (that turns out to be a [[RealityWarper reality-warping alien]]) to eliminate Mondays from existence. The wish comes true, and Mondays are erased--but the implications, as hinted at in the episode, are truly terrifying. The U.S. education system grinds to a halt--since children start the school week on Mondays, their parents can't send them back to learn; any location that has trash pick-up on Monday can no longer have it, leading to massive piles of garbage spilling into the streets (which is a breeding ground for germs and disease); and whole types of businesses, such as gyms that offer "seven-day reducing plans" or movie theatres that change films on Mondays, have to close. Thankfully, Garfield undoes it--but not before the wishing well does even ''more'' damage to reality by eradicating "Thursdays, the state of Wisconsin, the entire month of August, chocolate candy, and everyone on the planet named Bob." It's all PlayedForLaughs, of course, but imagine what would happen if this really occurred...

** Despite the episode's ToneShift from gloomy and suspenseful to more comedic and surreal when he discovers the wishing well can talk and it turns out to be an alien, there's another fridge horror. What if the mother never showed up? Would the well have continued to eliminate things until it all disappeared?

* In "The Wolf That Cried Boy", Roy plays a classic CryingWolf joke with the "wolf alarm bell". The first two times, everyone immediately rushes to the bell, the third time (slightly subverting the usual RuleOfThree in the moral) the gang ignore it for a few minutes then decide Roy must be telling the truth to keep carrying on like that. If Roy had been joking again, the fourth time they wouldn't have believed him 'at all' and the chickens would have been wolf food.
Added DiffLines:
** Sometimes Garfield and other "talking" animals 'can' communicate with humans depending on the episode. There have been instances of Garfield saying something and Jon (or another human) responding to it, turning towards him when faced away, or show facial reactions. It's not uncommon for Garfield to make an aside joke at the audience and Jon to have a [[SarcasmMode "very funny, Garfield"]] look on his face. A notable example is "Garfield's Garbage Can And Tin Pan Alley Revue", where Garfield is singing all night and doing "magic tricks" and Jon knows the song.

* In "The Carnival Curse", Garfield is turned into what's clearly a werewolf, but is [[NotUsingTheZWord never referred to as such and only called a "wolf creature"]]. This is understandable when you realize "were" means "man", and Garfield becomes a cat-wolf.

* A LITERAL version of this trope in one of Garfield's Tales Of Scary Stuff involves [[ItCameFromTheFridge one of Jon's recipes coming to life]]. At the end, baking soda defeats the monster. A mostly silly episode, but what happened to the little girl at the end that didn't have baking soda? Most characters in Garfield's universe aren't as equipped to fight monsters as Garfield, Odie, and Jon are.
