Jon is cooking burgers while wearing his pigeon suit; he is too busy to play fetch with Odie. Odie goes to Garfield to play. This leads to the next poll: what should Garfield do?
A. Throw the stick so Odie can fetch it (Some applause)
B. End his nap and frolic with Odie (Some applause)
C. Slingshot Odie into the next area code (Heavy applause)

A. No food for a day (Some applause)
B. No food for a whole week (Some applause)
C. No food until the next time Halley's Comet cruises the galaxy (Heavy applause)

A. Stop looking and take a nap (Some applause)
B. Give up and go back to eat cheeseburgers with old Pigeon Suit (Some applause)
C. Keep looking for Odie, until he finds the dummy pup (Heavy applause)

The viewers applaud most for the Fnark. Upon seeing the sight of the beast, Odie is given the following options:
A. Run in terror (Heavy applause)
B. Run in terror (Heavy applause)
C. Run in terror (Heavy applause)
With each option the same, as well as each receiving the same amount of reaction, Odie runs in terror toward Garfield.

A. Flag down a cab to drive them out of the forest (Some applause)
B. Get rescued by a big strong heroic forest ranger (Some applause)
C. Stand, and fight the Fnark with their bare hands (Heavy applause)
