1Whoo boy, [[ReferenceOverdosed where to begin with]] [[Fanfic/GarfieldInAlongCameASplut this story]]?
2----
3* The opening disclaimer says not to read the story unless you've read the works of UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud.
4* The story apparently begins in [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Springfield.]]
5* Garfield plays [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Simon and "Garfunkle"]] at full blast, while also playing ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}''. The game also involves saving the whales, a reference to ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome''.
6* UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln makes a very brief appearance, but is immediately killed by a shard of glass from Garfield's busted TV, because he's supposed to be dead to begin with.
7* Garfield [[Creator/ChuckNorris roundhouse kicks Odie to the moon.]]
8* Later, when Garfield opens a door, it burns his fur off because [[Franchise/{{Superman}} some]] [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Kryptonian]] used his EyeBeams on it, a nod to ''Film/ManOfSteel''.
9* When the Splut appears, Garfield slams the door shut "with a force that would make the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] look like it would take the strength of a man who could move a mountain to break a toothpick."
10* The chase scene is a homage to ''Film/EvilDead2''.
11* The scene where Garfield tells the Splut "I'm over there" is a reference to a similar gag from ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'', but given a LampshadeHanging.
12* The house is directly above [[Franchise/{{Batman}} the Batcave]], and [[ComicBook/SupermanAtEarthsEnd it's 30 miles long.]]
13* [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture The DeLorean and Doc Brown]] make an appearance, with Brown shouting "[[Film/SuburbanCommando I WAS]] [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic FROZEN TODAY!]]"
14* When Garfield begins driving, a ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' flying machine (obviously referring to an [[http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/HK-Aerial HK-Aerial Drone]]) tries to kill him.
15* [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds Ronald McDonald]], now a cynical DeathSeeker, allows himself to be run over by Garfield.
16* Another casualty of Garfield's driving is [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Fred Fish]], who screams [[CatchPhrase "MY LEG!"]]
17* He also runs into [[Film/TheFrenchConnection Popeye Doyle]]'s car, [[Franchise/{{Batman}} the Batmobile]] and ComicBook/LexLuthor, [[Literature/TheSuperdictionary who stole forty cakes]], AndThatsTerrible.
18* ''The Film/BladeRunner'' (as in, a man running on blades) unwittingly helps Garfield out, and the Splut turns him into a pony for his troubles, a nod to the films recurring unicorn dream. The story says [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail he got better.]]
19* "And the page turned, [[VideoGame/YoshisStory and the Yoshi's grew happier.]]"
20* The penultimate paragraphs turn into a recreation of [[Film/ANewHope the Death Star trench run]], during which he accidentally causes [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kryp]][[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} ton]] to be destroyed. Then he literally recreates the films hyperspace scene (as in, ''the actual method used to make the special effect'').
21* The ending is a homage to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', where the pie and Garfield find a Franchise/{{Stargate|Verse}} over Jupiter and become a Star Child... which makes the DreamWorksFace and says [[Film/AChristmasStory "Drink more Ovaltine."]]
22* A footnote reveals that JustForFun/TheUglyBarnacle was scheduled to make a guest appearance, but had to cancel at the 11th hour due to his crew dying because of his ugliness.
23* Another footnote reveals the reason Jon Arbuckle doesn't appear is because of an incident with a [[Film/TheFly1986 baboon fused with a cat]], and it says Jon is being rebuilt into the next Franchise/RoboCop because despite his injuries, [[StealthPun he has no life]] and thus [[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan can be rebuilt anew.]]
