Fortune Kooky is an episode from the second season of Garfield and Friends.

Synopsis

Wade gets superstitious when he receives bad news from a fortune cookie; Roy wants to steal a picnic lunch.

Plot

Wade is walking along with a picnic basket while Roy spies on him. Roy wouldn't stoop so low as to steal Wade's basket, but he would stoop to steal the food in it. Orson is going with Wade on a picnic and invites Bo, but the sheep declines as he has to clean up around the farm with a vacuum, which he sets to reverse, getting dust on Orson. Orson goes to take a shower while Wade waits up for him. He takes out one of the fortune cookies he packs and reads his fortune.

"Bad luck will befall you if you venture outdoors."

Fearing for the worst, Wade runs into Orson's shower stall to hide. Orson wants to know why he's paranoid and Wade explains what his fortune told him, while Roy eavesdrops and gets a sneaky rotten idea. Orson tells Wade via song that he shouldn't be superstitious. At first, Wade decides to heed Orson's advice, but then Roy shows up disguised as a swami and tells Wade his fortune.

"You will be caught in a rainstorm and then pummeled and harmed by a wild ape who wants to tap dance in potato salad."

Wade doesn't believe it for a second until Roy turns on the hose over him to fool him into thinking it's raining and then dresses up like a gorilla asking to tap dance in Wade's potato salad. Wade willingly and fearfully hands him the basket to avoid injury and tells Orson what happened, leaving Orson to suspect this is one of Roy's tricks.

Roy has eaten everything in the picnic basket and reads another fortune.

"You will lose all your feathers during a total eclipse on Arbor Day while listening to the Marine Corps Band playing Home on the Range and watching a Badminton match between two guys named Ichabod."

Roy scoffs at the possibility of such a fortune, but suddenly, everything that was said in Roy's fortune starts to happen. A total eclipse occurs, it's Arbor Day, Booker listens to the Marine Corps Band playing Home on the Range, and Sheldon is watching two guys named Ichabod play Badminton. Roy quickly rereads the fortune and finds that he is to lose his feathers and tries to find a way to prevent it from happening. But he bumps into Bo while he's vacuuming and he holds the nozzle to Roy, causing it to suck up all his feathers. Bo returns them while Roy is at least happy that they're cleaned. Wade shows the last fortune cookie from their picnic to Orson and he reads it.

"You will spend today gluing feathers on a friend."

Roy hands him a container of glue and Orson starts to reconsider his thoughts on fortune cookies before helping Roy glue his feathers back on.
