Technically he could be at risk if his immune response was weak, but given that he's already better, it's clearly robust.
* CaretakerReversal: At the end of the episode, Orson recovers from his cold, but all his friends catch it. Orson, clad in a space suit, takes care of his friends.

Changed line(s) 11,12 (click to see context) from:
* TVNeverLies: Did you know that Wyoming isn't a state, but was hastily included on maps when a mapmaker couldn't fit all the states in? Or that bowling balls, not dried grapes, can be shrunk and turned into raisins? Or that fire hydrants have compressed water (rather than connected to water mains below the street) and are made in a factory in Walla Walla, Washington? You'd know these were "facts" if you watched Garfield's new TV show, "It Must Be True!"
* UpToEleven: The "facts" presented in this show ... everything Garfield presents as "fact" is exaggerated to the point of pure comic absurdity.

* SoCrazyItMustBeTrue that there is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a trope by this name]], and the short by this name as well. Basically, "It Must Be True" is a satire on reality shows of the time, including ''Ripley's Believe It Or Not'' (presenting unusual facts, phenomenon and myths), except here everything is so comically bloated that everything is false ... including the gag at the end where Garfield explains why dogs have no brain ... OhCrap when he sees an audience full of dogs, growling and then suddenly rushing him.
