!! "One Good Fern Deserves Another" provides examples of:

* BigDamnHeroes: Mr. Rhizome comes to Jon's house to rescue Garfield, Jon, and Odie when he realizes that he accidentally sold Jon a meat-eating fern.
* ManEatingPlant: Jon accidentally buys a meat-eating fern that tries to eat him, Garfield, and Odie. Mr. Rhizome, the man who accidentally sold the plant to Jon, saves them, though.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Garfield says "Growl" and "Snarl" as he pretends to be a jungle cat. [[BreakingTheFourthWall He then turns to the viewers and says]] "Hey, it's my fantasy, I can have all the sound effects I want."
* TroublemakingNewPet: A variant; the new fern terrorizes Garfield, but Jon thinks that it's the other way around. Jon finds out the truth when the plant tries to eat him.
* YourTelevisionHatesYou: After Jon, Garfield, and Odie are rescued from the meat-eating fern by Mr. Rhizome, they decide to watch ''Attack of the Giant Pod People'', a movie Garfield has been waiting to see, which turns out to be a science fiction movie about invading alien plants. They quickly change the channel.

!! "Goody-Go-Round" provides examples of:

* BucketBoobyTrap: Subverted; Roy rigs his coop door with a bucket so that when Orson walks through the door, "the bucket will fall, and WHAMMO! Drenched porker." He also intends to follow up with super-hot tabasco-flavored gum, which will come back to bite him later, but for now, Orson opens the door, and the bucket ''doesn't'' fall, despite its precarious motion. Roy offers the gum; Orson accepts but doesn't chew it. After a discussion involving adding a link to the goody-go-round, Orson closes the door. The rule of comedic timing in full effect, the bucket falls while Roy ponders the failure of his two tricks, not soaking him until he's trying to remember what the second one was.
* ChainOfDeals: The premise of this episode, which begins with Bo asking Orson to get him a record player. Orson has to give Booker a skateboard in exchange for his record player, give Roy one of Lanolin's pies to get his skateboard and give Lanolin a stepladder in exchage for her pie. Wade is willing to part with his stepladder free of charge, but Orson insists on completing a trade, so he gives Wade the stick of hot sauce gum Roy attempted to use on him earlier. When Wade's mouth is burned by the gum, he ends up undoing the chain of deals, but Orson restores order and everyone gets what they wanted back. Roy can't help but make fun of Wade for how he's left with nothing, but Wade gets the last laugh by trading Roy's pie with his own hot sauce gum.
-->'''Wade:''' Everybody got what they wanted. Or what they deserved.
* FireBreathingDiner: Wade breathes fire when he chews Roy's tobasco-flavored gum, then he goes to the lake to extinguish the spiciness.
* SelectiveMagnetism: Roy uses a magnet to take his skateboard back from Booker after Lanolin takes her pie back from him.
* TakeThatKiss: The Worm does this to Booker before escaping from the latter's trap.
* YouAreFat: When Orson inadvertently insults his friends during "Let's Get Together", his friends all simultaneously say "And we don't mean to call you fat!" to get back at him.

!! "The Black Book" provides examples of:

* EyesOutOfSight: Heather and Mike both have their eyes obscured by their bangs.
* FoodAsBribe: Jon bribes Garfield with a "medium-sized" lasagna in exchange for the location of his Little Black Book, but to no avail.
* HereWeGoAgain: After catching Jon fighting with Garfield, Heather breaks up with Jon, who asks Odie to bury his Little Black Book. After Heather returns and sees Jon and Garfield getting along with each other, she decides to give him another chance. Jon asks Odie for the Little Black Book, but Odie refuses to tell him where he hid it, leading to Jon having to try to find it himself.
-->'''Garfield:''' I wish he'd learn to make up his mind.
* HollywoodToneDeaf: Jon's singing is this to Garfield, who says that people who sing like that should be drug out into the street and shot, before deciding that's too good for them.

-->'''Garfield:''' Make up your mind!
* SpoofsRUs: When Jon reads from Garfield's Little Black Book, one of the phone numbers Garfield has listed in it is for Ham Sandwiches R Us.
