History TakeThat / SquareRootOfMinusGarfield

* Two different contributers submitted two different takes on the "I ''liked'' that ringtone!" RunningGag showing the ringtone as being a particularly bad ringtone/song. [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1084 Manyhills' take]] had it being the Crazy Frog making motorcycle noises ringtone, and [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1085 Colin Foster's take]] had it be [[Music/KatyPerry "I Kissed a Girl"]]. As a bonus, David's notice pointing out the coincidence ends with "If only Music/JustinBieber would write a song about pudding pops...".

* Also playing on the ringtone gag with Crazy Frog, [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=1308 Scat Talkin']], where Garfield smashes Jon's phone playing the Crazy Frog version of Axel F before the scatting, because the author personally hates the scatting but loves the music in the song. He flat out states this, ''[[NoFourthWall mentioning the author]]''.

* [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=738 Jon and Lyman #5: Scary TV Show]] shows Lyman screaming so loud at his tv that Jon is ejected through the ceiling. The description states "Maybe Lyman caught a glimpse of ''Film/{{Garfield}}: The Movie...''".

-->'''[=Crazy56U=]:''' Quite frankly, I don't blame him for his reaction.

* [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/garfield/?comic=2633 "Darn!"]] hypothesises that Garfield [[TitleDrop chose "Darn!]] as [[FamousLastWords his last words]] because he realized he was in a Creator/MichaelBay film.
