History ShoutOut / GarfieldAndFriends

** Still another was "If you change the channel, you will never see your dog again.", referencing the famous "Buy this magazine or we'll kill this dog" January 1973 cover of ''National Lampoon''.
** Another one of these quotes had Garfield say "This show is [[Series/SesameStreet brought to you by the letter K and the number 9.]]"

* Aloysius Pig is KevinMeaney in a pig costume. They both even share two catchphrases! [[note]]"That's not right!" and "I don't care!", even though the latter was only said once[[/note]]

** Another post-opening sequence line was "The Garfield Guarantee: No [[{{Transformers}} giant robots]] or [[TheSmurfs annoying little blue people]]."

* The title of the episode "The Lasagna Zone" spoofs "Series/TheTwilightZone", and the plot of Garfield getting TrappedInTVLand only to find out that it was AllJustADream...[[OrWasItOnlyADream Or Was It]] could easily have occurred on the actual show.

* In "Peace and Quiet", Binky refrences the United States Post Office motto, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds", but replaces "couriers" with "clown".

* One rather silly episode has the entire episode purposely having animation errors. At the very end, Garfield leaves and Odie follows, except Odie is ''NewspaperComic/{{Marmaduke}}''

* In "Video Victim", Garfield has a nightmare in which Jon's TV talks to him in a voice similar to [[Film/2001ASpaceOdyssey HAL 9000]]. When Garfield unplugs the TV, it sings a portion of "Daisy Bell", just as HAL did while being deactivated.

* Also doubling as a BrickJoke: in one episode, Garfield & Nermal contend with mutant guppies, who they defeat by chasing them back into the sewer. Said guppies then appear in the subsequent US Acres Quickie; after scaring Wade and Orson, one guppy turns to his fellows and says "Come on guys, let's go see if we can get a guest shot on the MuppetBabies, whaddaya say?" (Muppet Babies aired after the show on CBS at the time).

* In "Flat Tired", while deciding who to get for the cartoon when Garfield is too tired, the director initially says "Get me [[Franchise/{{TheMuppets}} Kermit The Frog]] on the phone," before choosing [[ADayInTheLimelight Odie]]. Also a bit of an in-joke, since WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies was also on CBS at the time.

* Garfield has to deal with a ghost and thinks maybe "I can call the [[WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostBusters The GhostBusters. Nah their show was cancelled.]]"

Wade: "Oh ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}!'' Oh '''Double Jeopardy!''' Oh '''FINAL JEOPARDY!'''"

* How about "A Shout-Out to Itself"? One US Acres quickie had Roy on a stage in a competition involving baaing and cocking against Lanolin. One season later, the same stage reappears in the Laryngitis quickie, and he stands on it in almost the exact same manner!
** In "Much Ado About Lanolin", the scene where Lanolina trips on her dress is quite similar to the scene in ''WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown'' where Burgermeister Meisterburger trips on a duck in exactly the same way. Lanolina, however, did not get her foot in a cast, but yelled at how the stairs were defective.

* Newsworthy Wade has a ShowWithinAShow called "7 Minutes", a spoof of SixtyMinutes.

(Muppet Babies aired opposite the show on CBS at the time).

* In "The Discount Of Monte Cristo", Aloysius [[spoiler: wants {{Flipper}} to rescue him from being stranded on an island.]]

* In "Kiddie Korner", Aloysius says that sitting on a tuffet "sounds naughty". This could be a reference to a Dot's Poetry Corner segment of {{Animaniacs}} that aired a year before this episode, where Dot reads Little Mrs. Muffet and uses "tuffet" as a euphemism for "butt", [[PantyShot while showing us her panties doing so.]]

* Wade: "Oh ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}!'' Oh '''Double Jeopardy!''' Oh '''FINAL JEOPARDY!'''"

* One episode of U.S. Acres spoofed SixtyMinutes.

* In "Clash Of The Titans", Garfield asks if the characters can stop at ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' so they can get a pizza.

** In one episode, Garfield opens the door and says [[ActorAllusion "Hello, this is Garfield, your doorman."]]
** Wade: "Oh ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}!'' Oh '''Double Jeopardy!''' Oh '''FINAL JEOPARDY!'''"
** Cactus Jake...or should I say Cactus [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} Jack]]?

** In "Temp Trouble", we have this line: "Mrs. Pig, it's Saturday morning. Do you know where your children are?". Ironically, the thing the quote shouts out to [[note]]A message broadcast on TV at 10:00PM[[/note]] was based off Wee Willy Winkie, [[{{Foreshadowing}}was a nursery rhyme that would be spoofed 8 episodes later.]]
