7	!!This review provides examples of:
8	* AdaptationDecay: The Critic's final opinion on the movie. Even as he admits he actually likes [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} the original comics]], he feels that the film, in a sense, betrayed fans such as himself.
9	* TheCameo: Creator/UncleYo briefly appears to try to force the Critic into a {{Crossover}} with him, only to jam his toes.
10	* FelonyMisdemeanor: "Happy Chapman" reaffirms his role as the BigBad by claiming he hates lasagna, which so happened to be Garfield's TrademarkFavoriteFood. The silliness of the affirmation is compared by the Critic to [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Shredder]] spontaneously announcing that he hates pizza, the Turtles' favorite food.
11	* HypocriticalHumor: When Garfield is exiled to the front porch for the accidental destruction of the world's most accident-prone room, he protests that he's too lazy to do that. The Critic retorts that this comes from someone who can do dance sequences.
12	* MaliciousMisnaming: Critic has ''a field day'' giving the CGI Garfield many different mocking names, including the Sunkist Tumor, Fanta Fungus, WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange Tribble, Pumpkin Cancer, Wad of Lifeless Air, Literature/TheLorax[='s=] butt, VideoGame/QBert[='s=] nut sack, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Charmander]]'s pubic hair, Wilford Brimley's Urine-Stained Mustache, Tony the Tiger's Taint, Franchise/StarFox Ass Hair, Wet [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Oompa-Loompa]] Armpit, [[Literature/WinnieThePooh Tigger]][='s=] Colon, [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Starfire]][='s=] Moldy Cooch, and ComicStrip/{{Heathcliff}} Vomit. That's justified, as he had 4 hard drives of jokes based on Garfield's appearance.
13	* ManipulativeEditing: The review skips over a shot of [[BewareTheNiceOnes Jon]] [[Awesome/{{Garfield}} punching out the villain]], which is especially noticeable because, a) Critic claims that Jon and Liz show up at the end to "[[BlatantLies pretty much contribute nothing]]", and b) the following clip does show said villain hitting the ground after being punched.
14	* NominalHero: In Critic's take on what a Coen-made ''Garfield'' would look like, Garfield is this or even a VillainProtagonist, as he kills his idealistic friend in cold blood, then [[BreakingTheFourthWall looks straight into the camera]], and says "[[DarkerAndEdgier that's right, you don't even know whether to root for me or not.]]"
15	* ProductPlacement: The constant abuse of this trope throughout the film has the Critic rating it to ''Film/ManOfSteel''[=-grade=] levels of blatancy.
16	* SpecialEditionTitle: The TrailerSpoof (see below).
17	* StealthHiBye: The Coens pull this off in the time it takes NC to look back at the set... and while Tamara was right next to them!
18	* TrailerSpoof: Playing into the similar naming mistake that got Murray shanghaied into the movie, the review begins with a "trailer" for a humanized, DarkerAndEdgier version of ''Garfield'' if the Coen Brothers actually wrote it, starring the Critic as Garfield, Creator/SteveBuscemi (Doug) as Jon, Creator/FrancesMcDormand (Tamara) as Liz, Creator/LeeWeaver (Malcolm) as Nermal and Creator/JohnTurturro (Orlando) as Odie.
