History PhineasAndFerb / TropesDToI

** Near the end of the episode "For Your Ice Only", Linda Flynn-Fletcher tells everyone to say, "Canadian bacon" as the prepares to take the picture. Everyone's reply is "ham", as part of a BrickJoke from Baljeet claiming near the episode's beginning that the two meats were the same.

** In "Perry Lays an Egg", after hearing about Doof's evil scheme to learn how to speak 'whale' so that he could insult a whale, Perry leaves without even bothering to stop him. Doof then follows Perry around with cries of, "[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Thwart me, Perry the Platypus!]] [[FoeYay Thwart me!]]"

* EverythingsBetterWithCows:
** In "The Magnificent Few", a herd of cows gets freed from a dude ranch, leading to a cattle drive by Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella.
** "Moon Farm" has the gang bringing along some cows to the moon in order to make the best ice cream.
** Doofenshmirtz accidentally turns himself into a ''werecow'' in "That's the Spirit!".

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys:
** "Giving a monkey a shower" is one of many events listed in the TitleThemeTune.
** And the TitleThemeTune monkey is [[OpeningShoutOut actually in the episode]] "Swiss Family Phineas", with Ferb {{Lampshading}} it. The corresponding notes even play.
-->'''Candace:''' You're giving a ''monkey'' a shower?\
'''Ferb:''' Yep. Had to be done.

* DumbDodoBird: In "Last Train To Bustville", Doofenshmirtz has a invention that turns a normal bird egg into dodo eggs. He thinks dodos are dinosaurs that can cause destruction to the city, and ends up disappointed with the turkey-like bird that hatches. Then he's even more disappointed because the dodo attacks him.

** In a few episodes of the first season, Candace sometimes brings Dad along with Mom to show the big idea, while most episodes have her only get Mom to come.

** Some Season 1 episodes often have Candace bring Lawrence to see the Big Idea; after Season 2, Lawrence happens to approve of the Big Ideas and participates in them, and Candace only wants to bring Linda to see it because it's implied the busting power is from the mother.

** To a lesser extent, the fourth season as a whole, while still remaining optimistic and upbeat, seems to be more liberal when it comes to using black comedy and GettingCrapPastTheRadar, and the stories of some episodes may count too, in particular Phineas' controversial snapping in [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbMissionMarvel "Mission Marvel".]]

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: See [[Radar/PhineasAndFerb here]] for more details.

* GroupIdentifyingFeatures: While the Fireside Girls are known for wearing uniforms with various alterations (one episode revealed they sew their own uniforms), Isabella's uniform stands out the most, being a complete PalletSwap of her everyday wardrobe, and is the only one to not have a red diamond on her beret, having it presumably covered up by her signature hairbow.

%% * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere Giant floating baby head from nowhere.

** In the pilot episode, Phineas's cheery demeanor is absent and he instead seems disaffected, even cynical and grumpy.

* FunnyPhoneMisunderstanding: In an episode, Jeremy and Candace are talking over the phone, the line experiences some interference, and Jeremy tries to tell Candace about the signal break-up. Candace completely misconstrues what Jeremy is trying to say and assumes Jeremy is breaking up with her.
