Garfield of Dreams

This segment is a crossover between Garfield and Field of Dreams.

This segment is from the episode Garfield of Dreams / I Hate My Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Plot
While at his country home one night, Seth MacFarlane is greeted out of the neighboring cornfield by several comic strip characters asking him to help them find a new audience, as they have become forgotten and MacFarlane has the ability to make "anything" enjoyable. Quickly MacFarlane goes and invites several Hollywood moguls over to his home for a business dinner where the moguls decide to reinvent the comic characters' personas with mash-up sequels of a few existing movies. However, the comic characters revolt at the sight of the trailers as they merely wanted to be rediscovered, so as for now, Comic Strip attacks Hollywood. Suddenly MacFarlane wakes up revealing that the events were merely a dream, and the animator comes to the conclusion that it's best to focus on the present rather than the past, then proceeds to create a new show that is identical to his previous work.

Transcript
(Start at Jordan's house with Madison.)

Jordan: Ah, cartoons. They made me a billionaire, but I insist on living in an old beat-up country home in the woods...across from a baseball field.

(Garfield arrives)

Garfield: You know, comics are cartoons too, Jordan.

Madison: Garfield?

Garfield: In the olden days, comics used to be called the "funny pages," only you read them in the newspaper, and they weren't really funny.

(A bunch of comic strip stars arrive.)

Jordan: Wow! Look at those obscure references! I don't even know who half of you are!

Garfield: That's the point, Jordan! You need to help Hollywood remember who we are! If you pitch them, they will come!

(Title Card: Garfield of Dreams)

Madison: So why are you guys living on a baseball diamond?

Garfield: I don't know. The whole pitch analogy, baseball, showbiz, seemed like it worked.

Jordan: And why us?

Dagwood: Because you're the only one who can get people to care about us again! People will watch anything you make! Seriously, anything.

Madison: We'll tell you what. We'll bring Hollywood here and show them how entertaining you all are.

Doonesbury: Hooray!

Madison: Not you, Doonesbury! Uh, We said "entertaining."

Doonesbury: Awwww...

Jordan: Steven Spielberg, have I got a pitch for you! A cat who hates Mondays!

Steven Spielberg: Ha! That's funnier than the alien who likes peanut butter candy! Count me in.

Madison: Will, what do you say about a bald kid who can't kick a football?

Will Smith: If he's got no hair to whip back and forth, I'll adopt him right now.

Jordan: Drew, I've got a dog named Marmaduke, and he, uh, uh... What does he do? (Opens comic book) Huh, doesn't make sense really. Pretty weird. He ate a kid in this one. Wow, ok, I got it! He thinks he's people!

Drew Barrymore: That's genius! Where can I meet him?

Jordan: On a baseball field... don't ask... in front of my house!

Garfield: Jordan, this party is better than lasagna. Look how excited they all are.

Hägar the Horrible: Peter Jackson! I'm a big fan.

Peter Jackson: Thanks... Hay-gaar.

Hägar the Horrible: Eh, it's Hägar the Horrible.

Peter Jackson: Well, Il ike your look, Hägar. I might be able to do something with ya.

Hägar the Horrible: One viking to rule them all!

Tom Cruise: What do you do, kid?

Dennis the Menace: I'm Dennis the Menace. I menace Mr. Wilson.

Tom Cruise: Hmm.. Do I hear Menace: Impossible?

(A scene from "Menace: Impossible" plays)

Loretta Lockhorn: Get it? We're the Lockhorns. The joke is we hate each other.

Brad Pitt: Like Mr. and Mrs. Smith!

Angelina Jolie: The sequel.

(The Lockhorns fight in the trailer for "Mr. & Mrs. Smith 2" and the comic strips at the theater gasps)

Steven Spielberg: So, what do ya think?

Loretta Lockhorn: that was horrible

All the Hollywood stars: What?

Dick Tracy: You tried to make us hip by pandering to your audience.

B.C.: We didn't need to be reinvented, just reintroduced.

The Wizard of Id: Hollywood ruins Everthing, Get Them!

(They all bite.)

Jordan: (wakes up) Ahhh! Aw, Phew! it was just a dream! Well, that's why I say let the past stay where it is. Always come up something original. (Laughs) A shutted up dad, a seperate family, and a talking animal... No, alien... No, animal. (Laughs) Yep, original.
