History Fridge / PhineasAndFerb

* The ending where it's revealed that while Danville was cured, the Pharmacist plague has spread beyond its walls, and the main protagonists are pretty quick to accept that the rest of the world is screwed. Except this InferredHolocaust will be avoided, since [[WeaksauceWeakness water is the cure]], and it's incredibly abundant on Earth.

** [[{{Engrish}} Many boys' inventions are indeed horribly unsafe and dangerous. They are protected by plot armor and G-rating, but Candace can't know it (Well characters sometimes break the fourth wall, but she can't be sure). Nobody cares about boys' antics, but what if someone go wrong. Who's gonna be a scapegoat for freak accident? Older sister, who was supposed to take care of them. Suck to be Candace, so much suck.]]

* The Space-Laser-inator disappears just as Linda comes home. Phineas and Ferb then remark upon the discovery of the true use of the machine and are glad they didn't built in the laser, which is shown standing around in the garden. When their mom comes looking, there should still be a gun-like looking laser standing around.

** I think they're implying that Irving is obsessed with them because he's jealous of the good relationship that they have with each other, which us something he doesn't have.

** Well, he only attacked the town that one time because he thought that's what Doof wanted. And despite the constant psychotic smile (which is literally fixed in place), he's given no other indication that he enjoys causing destruction.

** Climbing up the Eiffel Tower ("Summer Belongs to You!")[[note]]Though only Ferb (with Vanessa) actually went up the tower)[[/note]]

*** Klimpaloon, The Magical old-Timey Bathing Suit That Lives In The Himalayas ("Summer Belongs to You!", "The Klimpaloon Ultimatum")

* Why do the rest of the fireside girls keep on going along with Isabella's plan to hang out with the boys all day? Because it's fun and thanks to their improbable patch rewards the girls probably would average close to one patch an invention, not including the umpteenth help your neighbor patch.

* Before the grand finale, Isabella and the fireside girls have to go around and hand out shades to everyone. One can only imagine what kind of ocular damages could have occurred if they missed someone.

** Actually, while it made no attempt to stop it, the computer did not contribute to the events that led to it's own destruction; it was snagged by the Inator and drawn to DEI, where it exploded, as the computer only interacted with the Phineas and Ferb subplot and the Candace subplot, it was not responsible for the Doof and Perry subplot.

*** It's definitely not pet gender confusion as Perry has Poisonous Ankle Spurs, which only male platypi have.

** ...Considering Candace's...less-then feminine figure, there's no proof she ''wasn't.''

* Having a trojan ''T. rex'' that is extremely anatomically inaccurate make sense when you realise that the rest of the Iliad ended up ignoring historical accuracy.

** Another interpretation is that Doof subconsciously sets himself up for failure, and never expects to win. He knows what it is to have pain and suffering, and while some part of him tries to lash out, he can't consciously inflict that suffering on others, so he became, in Vanessa's words, "Basically a nice guy who pretends to be evil out of obligation to his backstory." His other universe self never knew true pain and suffering, so he had no issue inflicting i

* Considering how often Doofenshmirtz sees the Flynn-Fletchers,[[note]]He saw Phineas and Ferb onstage at a film festival, and on his camera-bug; Candace is friends with his daughter and sold him cupcakes once;he competed with Lawrence at a pageant; hell, he met the Fireside Girls, Jeremy, and Bufford before.[[/note]] Perry better thank his lucky stars Doofenshmirtz never said "Hey, you should meet my nemesis, Perry the Platypus." or "Hey, aren't you that girl Perry the Platypus swapped bodies with?" Or his cover would be blown.
* I'm surprised no one has said this. '''''What manner of training does the OWCA employ to turn mindless animals into highly intelligent operatives?''''' Most, if not all, of them could once have been ordinary animals minding their own business and just living their life before they were plucked from their natural habitats by the agency [[NothingIsScarier and...]]

** Though, two of the people zapped were Fireside Girls. Phineas and Ferb probably made a youth ray for their next project. They probably would even if their freinds ''weren't'' affected.

* The announcer could just be assuming things based on Buford's appearance, or Buford himself chose to be described that way since he cares about maintaining a tough guy image. And isn't the problem having an ''extra'' chromossome, anyway?

*** It's definitely not pet gender confusion as Perry has Posionous Ankle Spurs, which only male platypi have.

* When you take into account the science of Candance being a literal queen ant, this opens up a ton of {{Squick}}. We first need to take into account what the queen ant does; lays thousands of eggs. It gets worse when you find out what the workers do to their queen; suffocate the queen and then dispose of the body.

* We learn that, on Meap's planet, the most severe judicial punishment you can inflict on a criminal is a time out. As in, the timer-set, go-stand-in-the-corner kind of time outs you give small children. Conisdering how cute-based the society of that planet is, you would think that the crime rate was so low that this wouldn't be a problem, but Mitch and Prof. Yore provide evidence of otherwise. Add the fact that the place clearly ''has'' had wars in the past, since they're ready for it at a second's notice, and you start to wonder how the ''heck'' this place hasn't turned itself into [[CrapSackWorld the exact opposite of what it is.]] Crosses with FridgeLogic.

* One of the -inators aimed at Perry that goes off is the disentegrator-inator. He's VERY lucky the Go-Home-inator is the one that landed.

* Buford talks about getting a rabies shot alot. Yes, rabies shot. It makes you wonder what the hell goes on in his house.

* Doofenshmirtz vacuums up some bees and almost pushes the self destruct button. Not too bad until the following episode, ''Bee Story'' where it's revealed that some of the bees he captured with his vacuum were the Fireside Girls.

* Isabella thinking that the Iliad is romantic couldn't be farther from the truth, seeing as how Paris ''kidnapped'' Helen and the fact that the Trojan War lasted for ten years and ended in the complete destruction of Troy and the slaughter of all of the adult males as well as the Greeks suffering from heavy losses. Seeing as how the kids have read the entire story, and having to censor it for the younger audience aside, Isabella's idea of the Iliad being a romance seems pretty disturbing when you take that into account with her crush on Phineas.

** Some versions of the Iliad also have Helen willingly fall in love with Paris.

** Aritifical gravity? In spite of his lack of common sense, [[DitzyGenius Doof]] ''[[DitzyGenius is]]'' [[DitzyGenius certainly smart enough to do that]].

** Well the words are interchangable for the same meaning, and everyone else in Danville was using the term 'pharmacist', so when Shaun started his rant he did it based on the word everyone else was using. Simple enough.

** Another interpretation is that Doof subconsciously sets himself up for failure, and never expects to win. He knows what it is to have pain and suffering, and while some part of him tries to lash out, he can't consciously inflict that suffering on others, so he became, in Vanessa's words, "Basically a nice guy who pretends to be evil out of obligation to his backstory."

* Stormtrooper!Candace, Buford, and Baljeet's task of finding socks for DarthWiki/DarthVader becomes all the more hilarious when you remember [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith what happened on Mustafar.]] Darth Vader [[SnipeHunt literally]] ''[[SnipeHunt doesn't have feet.]]''

* The main ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' page being split. The caption underneath the picture is supposedly Candace attempting to bust her brothers for making a Wiki/TVTropes page, so ''of course'' the tropes would be split in two & moved on to separate pages!

** Also, dialogue in the Lake Nose episode indicates that Lawrence at least knew Creator/JohnLennon. Therefore, some of Ferb's talent could also be taught by Lawrence, if he picked up anything from John.

* Fridge Heartwarming, when you consider that Phineas and Ferb made Ferb TV, which means they likely added Ducky Momo in for her.

* Why do the rest of the fireside girls keep on going along with Isabella's plan to hang out with the boys all day? Because it's fun and thanks to their improbable patch rewards the girls probably would average close to one patch an invention, not including the umptenth help your neighbor patch.

** Not so. If we assume that this episode takes place after Jerk de Soleil, then Candace did tell her mom about the tree house robots. She sings about it (among other things) in the song EVIL BOYS.

** Not jossed. It's possible that by ContrivedCoincidence (and we have plenty of those in the show already so it's not much of a stretch) he actually managed to ''predict some future inventions in advance''. Which would convince him even '''''more''''' to keep the boys from getting busted; after all, if those otherwise insufficient little details are coming true what about the main picture?

* A VERY subtle hint that it's all a dream: Phineas and Ferb are seen actually driving the flying car of the future today. Other episodes, like "The Secret of Success" establish that the boys know perfectly well they're not allowed to actually drive real cars, so they use work-arounds like remote controls.

* Phineas was originally intended to be a meaner AnnoyingYoungerSibling to Candace. Naturally, [[CharacterizationMarchesOn this didn't stick.]]] But the show ''does'' get an AnnoyingYoungerSibling worked into episodes in the form of Roger.

* A recurring joke in earlier episodes was that Candace said "Stacy, you're a genius!" and Stacy replies with "Could you call my mom and tell her that?" Now we know why, she's constantly overshadowed by her little sister and wants to impress her mother.

* At then end, Doof actually had control over an ''OWCA agent'' and never realized it, just to add insult to injury.

* Why was Buford refusing to let Candace and Jeremey into the restaurant even though (as Candace points out), she is the sister of the owners? Buford has a crush on Candace and was likely trying to ruin the date out of jealousy.
