Garfield tampers with a talking scale, making Jon think he is overweight, so Jon makes Garfield exercise with him.

to:

Garfield tampers with Jon buys a talking scale, making Jon think he is overweight, so Jon makes bathroom scale that evaluates the user's weight for their height and predicts their fortune. After dealing with the scale's snark, Garfield is told that he is 20 lb overweight (or 9 inches undertall) and will be splutted. One PieInTheFace later, Garfield decides to tamper with the scale so that it declares Jon to be 50 lb overweight. A shocked Jon decides to go on a strict diet and exercise regimen, recruiting Garfield to keep him to the former (which he does willingly) and join him in the latter (which he does much less willingly).

But Jon's attempts to exercise - jogging, a weight machine, an aerobics record - all end in {{Slapstick}} misfortune for him, so Garfield decides to have pity on him and return the scale to its normal settings... but not before the scale predicts he's about to get more exercise. Sure enough, when Jon steps on the scale, he is told he is the correct weight for his height, and his fortune is that he will punish Garfield for tampering
with him.
the scale. The scale proceeds to accurately predict the chaotic chase around the house and into the sunset that ensues, before proclaiming, "And they lived heavily ever after."






Garfield is visited by his angelic Good side and devilish Bad side, battling over who gets to control his actions.

to:

As Garfield is visited by enjoys his angelic Good side morning coffee, Jon tells him he's expecting an important package and devilish Bad side, battling asks Garfield not to engage in his usual torment of the mailman. As Garfield settles down for a nap, his [[GoodAngelBadAngel shoulder devil]] shows up to tempt him into kicking Odie off the table as a prelude to annoying the mailman. Garfield's shoulder angel tries to intervene, only for the shoulder devil to fire him off to Mexico from a cannon, leaving Garfield free to kick Odie off the table in front of a shocked Jon.

Jon reflects on Garfield's tendency toward mischief as he prepares to mow the lawn with his riding mower. Garfield's shoulder devil persuades him to tamper with the engine, but not before firing the shoulder angel off to Italy in a rocket when he returns from Mexico. The mower goes berserk, dragging Jon all
over who gets to control the garden until it crashes; when confronted, Garfield feigns ignorance. Just then, the mailman appears; while he is making a delivery, Garfield hops into his actions.
handcart and finds Jon's package, only to drop it on the cart's brake, sending him on a wild ride that inevitably ends in disaster.

After the irate mailman hands both the package and Garfield ("Both third class!") over to Jon, the latter vents his frustration at Garfield's behaviour, but he says he's still his cat and opens the package to reveal a gift for him: a personalised coffee mug. Garfield's delight turns into rage against his shoulder devil when the mug crumbles into pebbles thanks to the damage from being dropped, and he and his shoulder angel chase the shoulder devil into the sunset, leaving Jon more confused than ever - and sparking a visit from ''his'' shoulder devil and shoulder angel over whether or not to get rid of Garfield.

While Wade is sleeping under a tree, Roy sneaks up with Orson’s air pump and blows Wade’s inner tube up to an enormous size. When Wade wakes up, he concludes that he has shrunk, and he jumps out of the inner tube and runs off in a frenzy. Orson tells him that he hasn’t shrunk, but he doesn’t listen. After Roy reveals that he was playing a prank, Orson begins to explain Roy’s normal antics but is interrupted when the viewer suggests that Booker is worm hunting. Orson then explains why Booker doesn’t chase worms any more.
Booker is continually chasing worms and singing about how much he hates them and what he’ll do to a worm if he catches one. He then sets a rope trap for the worm, but the worm tricks him into getting caught in the trap himself, and eventually he is hanging in a tree calling for help. After a few hours, the worm comes back and cuts the rope, freeing Booker from the tree. He then grabs the worm and is seemingly about to eat it, but he kisses it instead.

Wade asks Orson if he thinks the friendship between Booker and the worm will last, and Orson assures him that it will. Booker then walks by singing about how much he likes the worm, but he soon starts to hate it again and chases after it.
