History PhineasAndFerb / TropesDToI

*** After Linda realizes Candace was telling the truth in the beginning, she calls her "the best daughter any mother could dream of having."

--->'''Ferb:''' That's no cloud.\\
'''Phineas:''' I have a good feeling about this.

* DownerEnding: "Candace Gets Busted", despite the title being a ForegoneConclusion. Candace spends the entire episode trying to keep a party, that she didn't even intentionally throw, from getting out of hand. However, their parents come home and she gets blamed for it.

** In "It's About Time!", there's an exhibit in the dinosaur section featuring a dog, and an old man that used to own him, which Lawrence shows the kids before realizing what he's talking about.

* GenderMisdirection:

** In the pilot episode, Phineas's cheery demeanor is absent and he instead seems disaffected, even cynical and grumpy. Compare his reaction toward Candace after she says she's in charge with the remake; in the original he says "Whatever...homework,"; in the remake he says, "The condition didn't have to do with the moose, did it?"

** He also comes across as ruder, making snarky comments at Candace and saying he should have charged more for the rollar coaster ride; after this, he never charges for rides, and in fact, will often given away his creations for free or a nominal amount. While he does have his sassier moments moving forward, they're not a common occurrence.

** "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!" has a few vague instances that foreshadow the episode is AllJustADream.

*** After Linda was realizing Candace was telling the truth in the beginning, she calls her "the best daughter any mother could dream of having."

** Candace had a bunny for one episode that she called Mr. Cutie Patootie.

** [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension The movie]] is also this. It involves the first time where [[CheerfulChild Phineas]] is truly mad at someone ([[spoiler: him being upset at Perry revealing himself to be a secret agent, as he feels like Perry never regarded him and Ferb as friends]]), we have a dictatorship where every character has DarkerAndEdgier counterparts, and the first time the main characters have been faced with someone trying to kill them.

%% ** A surprising amount. See the entries for BareYourMidriff, BeachEpisode, HartmanHips, ModestyTowel and ZettaiRyouiki. Then there are the videos (especially the extended versions) of "Busted" and "Squirrels In My Pants". And Vanessa...pretty much [[MsFanservice always]].

** Doofenshmirtz's Worst-Fear-inator makes YourWorstNightmare come alive; however, if you're fearless (like Perry), then it has no effect on you.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins:
** A quartet of musically gifted penguins appears in the TitleThemeTune.
** In "Bowl-O-Rama Drama", Dr. Doofensmirtz's evil plot involved giant robot penguins equipped with freeze rays.
** Penguins dance along with the gang in the song "Summer All Over the World".

** In "Little Brothers" it shows a seven or eight year old Candace with a three or four year old Phineas and Ferb, so it could be they have all been together for so long, it just seems right to call them that.

** Doofenshmirtz would be a far greater threat if he just stopped placing self-destruct buttons in his devices. But as a HarmlessVillain he can't help it.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Dinosaurs frequently show up in the series. Lampshaded in "The Lizard Whisperer" where the boys insist on calling the enlarged Steve the chameleon a dinosaur simply because it [[RuleOfCool sounds cooler]].

* GrievousHarmWithABody: In "Greece Lightning", Buford uses Baljeet and his helmet [[AnAxeToGrind like an axe]] to remove the obstacles that get in his way during the chariot race.

* GroupIdentifyingFeature: 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.

* DancingPants:
** Done literally in "Out of Toon", when Doofenshmirtz attempted to create a ray that would dry his clothes after his dryer broke, but instead made one that made anything hit with it dance... which includes his clothes. "Still sopping wet..."
** "Summer Belongs to You" features Klimpaloon, a living "magical old-timey bathing suit that lives in the Himalayas."

->Mom! Phineas and Ferb are splitting their Wiki/TVTropes page!

* DidntWeUseThisJokeAlready: They build a rollercoaster. Except this time, it's [[MusicalEpisode A MUSICAL!]] The trope title is practically quoted verbatim. It's actually taken UpToEleven since nearly ''every single character'' mentions the fact that it's all happened before.

%% ** Taken UpToEleven by The Regurgitator.

%% * GenkiGirl: Candace. '''[[UpToEleven AND HOW.]]''' Always yelling to Mom about how the boys are doing something "bustable", and [[CassandraTruth always failing to convince her of P&F's shenanigans.]]

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Dr. Doofenshmirtz takes it UpToEleven, of course:

** "Remains of the Platypus" hilariously lampshaded this. To give you a hint, imagine Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated's interior, Doof's Inator is flashing yellow and red lightning, Carl is dressed in a squirrel suit and trapped in a cage, Perry the Platypus is Doof's Butler, Doof himself is in his briefs (yes, ''just'' his briefs), celebrating because he feels he has finally won, Major Monogram is wearing jeans and a Hawaiian style button-up shirt, bloated, and tottering out of Phineas and Ferb's backyard, scaring everyone away, and here's the kicker: one of Phineas and Ferb's inventions crashes through the roof of DEI, and opens up to reveal four British Bobbys and a midget, who then proceed to [[UpToEleven take the party up to an eleven]]. The rest of the episode is spent [[BackToFront going back one scene at a time]] to explain how things got to this point.

* FiveManBand: It often depends on the episode, but in general, the main characters form this kind of relationship:
** TheLeader: Phineas
** TheLancer: Ferb
** TheChick: Isabella
** TheSmartGuy: Baljeet
** TheBigGuy: Buford

** In "Interview with a Platypus," one of the squirrel's squeaks translates to "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm cute, I'm cute...Now, nut me!

* FilkSong: Done to one of their own songs, Busted is transformed into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBU3zm3COD4 Rusted]].
