Nighty Nightmare is an episode from the first season of Garfield and Friends.

Synopsis

Jon warns Garfield about overeating, saying it can result in a nightmare. Garfield does have a nightmare where the tables turn against him. After Garfield wakes up, he is offered some lasagna.

Plot

Jon sneaks a pizza, but Garfield beats him to the punch by wolfing it down before Jon even so much as opens the box. Jon tells the fat cat that such eating will give him a nightmare, to which Garfield dismisses. Garfield then has a dream where Jon's whole purpose in life is to provide him with food, and his ravenous appetite knows no ends.

Jon soon tells Garfield that he needs to cease eating, as he becomes a King Kong-sized cat monster as a result. Garfield goes on an eating rampage, which includes eating a hot dog stand whole and drinking a swimming pool. However, nothing seems to satisfy Garfield's hunger, as he attacks supermarkets (even going so far as to eat the paper towels) or anywhere there is food.

Soon there's no food left anywhere, and the National Guard is called in to fill the Grand Canyon with gumbo and deliver huge quantities of lasanga. The commanding general of the unit fears that Garfield will soon eat so much he will cause mass starvation in the United States, and decides the only course of action is to open fire on Garfield. Jon and Odie run through the city to warn Garfield to stop eating, as he is now being targeted. Garfield climbs a building and eats a fighter jet. Before Garfield eats any more, a UFO appears and uses a beam to abduct him.

Onboard the UFO, an extraterrestrial introduces himself and says that it was the master plan all along: to find Earth's biggest glutton, use a hunger ray that would cause him to eat continuously in order to fatten him up for the alien's Thanksgiving dinner. Garifield is shocked at becoming a meal himself, and as he is taken away from Earth, he remarks how he should have been more grateful to Odie and Jon.

The nightmare jars Garfield awake. Jon offers lasagna as atonement for yelling at Garfield. Garfield actually declines it, saying he is going to stop being gluttonous. He initially resolves to go on a strict diet, but then has second thoughts.
