Jon: [on the telephone] As a matter of fact, yes. How did you know?
Liz: [on the telephone] Well, turn on the TV and watch the news. Oh, and are we still having dinner in a little while at Vito's?
Jon: [on the telephone] Of course.
Liz: [on the telephone] Good.
[Jon switches on the television]
Man on television: [laughing] If you just tuned in, here are some videos of silly accidents that were posted on the Internet earlier today.

Boy 1: It sure is.
Laraine: [teasing] Hope your car doesn't fall apart again!
[The family trio are laughing at Jon and he becomes annoyed with it]
Eddie Gourmand: Jon Arbuckle! [chuckles] I wanna thank you.
Jon: Thank me? For what?
Eddie Gourmand: For what? [laughs] For what? Because of your videos, I am no longer the biggest laughingstock on television. [laughs] Boy, I thought I looked stupid and then I saw those videos. [laughs] I know what stupid is.
[Everyone in town laughs at Jon because of his videos online and he runs to Vito’s pizzeria. However, everyone inside recognizes Jon and laughs at him as he goes over to Liz]
Liz: [laughs] Don't fall off your chair, Jon. Here's your menu. Better decide what kind of food you're gonna spill on yourself.
Vito: [laughs] Oh, signor Arbuckle, welcome. And my brother in Rome says to say “hello.”
Jon: Your brother in Rome knows me?
Vito: He's the one who sent me the link to your hilarious videos. He said everyone in Italy is laughing at you. I mean, at them.
Jon: No, they're laughing at me.
Vito: Let me go get you some minestrone.
Teenager 1: Excuse me. Are you the clumsy, dumb guy In The Arbuckle Chronicles videos?
Jon: Yes.
Teenager 1: Oh, you look so stupid in them. Would you do the skateboard routine again for us?
Voices from people inside the restaurant: Yes! Do it! Oh yeah!
Jon: Okay. That's it. I've had enough of this. I'm leaving.
[Jon is about to walk out of the restaurant but he bumps into Vito who is carrying a bowl of minestrone. Consequently, the bowl the stuck on his head and his head covered in minestrone]
Jon: You people should be ashamed of yourself. Laughing at someone else's misfortune. Now, I like a joke as much as the next guy, but there's nothing funny about accidents, about people falling down and possibly hurting themselves. There's nothing funny! [trips over a skateboard as he walks] Whoa!
[Everyone laughs at Jon tripping over a skateboard, while Garfield and Odie watches from outside the window]
Garfield: Hmm. Oh my. You think this has gone too far, Odie? [Odie nods his head yes] Oh, I have to put this right. I mean, despite being rather dumb, Jon is a very nice owner and a good provider. He doesn't deserve this. [Odie barks] And I think I know how to fix this. You wait here. I need something.
[Garfield goes inside the restaurant to take Jon’s smartphone near the entrance]
Garfield: Hmm?
[Garfield checks on the street to the restaurant when he hears Nermal walking down humming. Nermal checks himself in his small purple mirror]

Garfield: Hey, Nermal.
Nermal: I'm on my way to audition for a flea collar commercial. After all, I am the cutest kitty cat in the whole wide world.
Garfield: Well, too bad you're not the most famous.
Nermal: What do you mean, I'm not the most famous?
Garfield: You're not very famous. You're not even as famous as Jon.
Nermal: Jon? Jon the guy who feeds you? He's not famous.
Garfield: You think so, huh? Listen to the buzz on the street.
Woman 1: Have you heard the latest on Jon Arbuckle?
Man 1: Arbuckle, that's the name! Jon Arbuckle!
Nermal: How did Jon get to be so famous?
Garfield: I put him in one of my videos. Millions of people see them.
Nermal: Wow! Millions of people. Garfield, could you put me in one of your videos? Huh? Could you? Could you? Could you?
Garfield: Well, I might find a way to use you. Just leave everything to me.
[Nermal wants to be featured in Garfield’s videos, so the latter agreed and has his own plans for what Nermal does in the videos]

Jon: [sighs] Thank goodness.
”Weakest Brain” Hostess: [laughing] A new Internet sensation has taken the world by storm. Nermal, the dumbest.

Garfield: Hi, Nermal. Ready to shoot another video for the Internet?
Nermal: Are you out of your tree, Garfield? You made me look ridiculous! You made me look like an idiot! I will never in a million years be in one of your videos.
Garfield: Okay. Have it your way. Come on, Odie. I'll make you look dumb instead.
[Odie snarls at Garfield]
Nermal: Ugh! I can't believe Garfield. Imagine. Thinking I'd be in another one of his videos after what he did to me.

Abigail: It is. It's Nermal. Nermal, we love you in that video.
Nermal: You do?
Webster: We sure do.

Webster: Hey!
Voices from the crowd: I know that cat! Oh, I love Nermal! It's Nermal!
[Nermal nervously runs away from the crowd and Garfield tries to record a dumb video of Odie]

Nermal: Don't stop shooting, Garfield! [jumps onto top of Odie’s head] I'll be in your video. See? [Garfield starts recording Nermal] I have a stupid hat on. And… and I'll fall in the mud, watch! [dives into the mud puddle] Oh, then maybe I could fall out of a tree. Or I’ll put on clown makeup or get my feet…
Garfield: Nermal thinks he's the most famous cat in the world. But let's not forget whose name is on this show.
Nermal: ♪ La la la la la la la la ♪ Oh boy! Or do a real stupid dance like this.
