* Even in spite of [[JerkassBall grabbing more negative characteristics here]] you can't help but feel sorry for Jon in "Online Arbuckle" when everyone [[OutofCharacterMoment which includes his girlfriend]] (though she does feel bad for him later) laughs at him because Garfield records and sets up things to go wrong for him. Fortunately, Garfield realizes his mistake and redirects all of Jon's "fame" to [[KickTheSonOfABitch someone much more deserving.]]

* Most of “Parrot Blues” is rather sad as we follow Paxton the parrot who not only tends to insult everyone but he also has a rather pessimistic viewpoint on life but the real tearjerker starts when Paxton decides to show Jon and Garfelid why he acts like this. [[NothingIsScarier We don’t see what was on the screen but judging from Garfield and Jon’s reactions, it must have been bad.]] [[FromBadToWorse And then Paxton escapes into the city to talk about everything that is wrong with the world.]] (Well and also insult Nermal.)

* "World Without Me" is a tearjerker for the entire episode. Garfield is depressed due to his boring and unexciting life and thinks of himself as useless, a feeling that is made worse when he meets the leprechaun Paddy, visits a parallel universe in which he's not present and sees that his friends are apparently having better lives without him: Jon now lives in a luxurious mansion since he didn't had to feed him, Odie now has a butler to play catch with, and Arlene and Bruno are in a happy relationship. Since the Space Lasagna are invading Earth, Garfield is made visible to defeat them, but after saving this alternative universe, he's still depressed, and Paddy shows him how everyone is faring without him: Jon and Odie feel lonely and both want a cat, one that is smart and funny, Arlene has broken with Bruno because she feels that he's not the right boyfriend for her, wanting someone that has a good sense of humour and likes lasagna, and Vito's pizzeria has gone bankrupt because Garfield, the regular customer that orders 50 pizzas a week, does not exist in this universe. He only realizes how much he matters for everyone when Paddy makes him realise that he is important for his fans, the watchers, who would be sad and bored from his absense, with a flickering TV screen as the background.

** Then once Garfield catches him, he and Jon take Paxton to Dr.Whipple in hopes that he can help Paxton. A few minutes later, Whipple comes out a sobbing mess and is downright begging Jon to take Paxton back proclaiming that he can’t even help himself.
** [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments While the return of Odie is a very sweet moment,]] what proceeds it is most certainly not as Paxton continues to speak about how the world is awful. Garfield himself even states that no amount of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood lasagna]] can cheer him up now. Luckily, Odie returns just in time.

** The events of "King Nermal" as things go FromBadToWorse for Garfield and Odie, first resulting in them getting kicked out in the rain, and then winding up in full body casts at the end of the episode. [[spoiler:The fact Nermal stays even longer doesn't help. While unable to see their faces, it's clear, given all the crud Nermal put them through for almost two weeks, neither of them are really happy]].

At that point, you can't really blame Garfield for trying to mail Nermal to Abu Dhabi every chance he gets.

* "Desperately Seeking Pookie". The scene where Hercules breaks down in tears when he has to part with Garfield's teddy bear. Even though he stole it, the scene is enough to qualify poor Hercules as a JerkassWoobie and makes the viewer want to hug him. Luckily Garfield decides to ThrowTheDogABone, and donates his numerous failed replacements for Pookie.
