History TearJerker / PhineasAndFerb

** [[spoiler:Later becomes a MoodWhiplash, because they have VideoGameLives.]]

* "[[Creator/DonLaFontaine In a world... There. I said it. Happy?]]" If you don't understand it, this episode was dedicated in memory to Don [=LaFontaine=], a voice actor famous for saying the quote in numerous movie trailers. This was also his last television appearance.

* [[spoiler: The boys' DisneyDeath]].

* From the way they react whenever Candace joins in (willingly or unwillingly) it's evident that the boys really love spending time with their big sister, but most of the time she has no interest in hanging out with them, to the point of absolutely refusing to even have anything to do with them at points.

---->''Oh, oh, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer but now the world just points and laughs at me here]]\\

* The scene with everyone standing within the Death Star seconds before it blows up, with (seemingly) no chance of escape, as they think about any regrets they have, becomes much sadder after seeing [[spoiler: Jyn & Cassian's]] eerily similar fate from ''Rogue One''.

--->'''Phineas:''' Hey, this is crazy. We would never want to hurt each other."

*** Bonus points for Ferb actually showing a bit of shock and fright at the sight of Candace falling to her doom right before he goes and saves her. Knowing that it takes so much for Ferb to show emotion is a subtle way of showing the sibling bond.

** Even sadder, even if she ever does bust her brothers or find out why the inventions disappear each time. The writers will just undo that with either time travel, memory erasing, or AllJustADream... over and over again keeping her in an endless cycle of never knowing the truth and looking more and more insane. Though when Linda "does" see the inventions, expect a memory erasing or ironic misunderstanding immediately afterwards. The writers are almost sadist with this.

** Phineas and Ferb was Disney's most successful show ever, to the point where it got a lot of exposure and goodwill from Disney in merch, attractions, online spinoffs, tours and even featuring the show's characters crossing over in games and merch with characters from the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. Then suddenly it just ''stopped.'' Disney stopped promoting it, merchandise stopped being made, the attractions were closed, the online stuff taken down, and the show quietly concluded with little fanfare.[[note]]Well almost. Disney XD did run a marathon for the entire show leading up to the finale[[/note]] For any longtime fans, seeing it all just fade away like it never happened is ''incredibly'' depressing.

** The entire premise of the show is the boys making every day of summer count, and Phineas sings that his regret of never acting on his feelings for Isabella makes all those amazing, unbelievable, logic defying, once in a lifetime adventures seem like wasted time.

[[AC:Bullseye!]]
* The first annual L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. Pageant of Evil is being hosted, and the first event is about hurting an elderly woman's feelings. It's hard not to feel sorry for the old lady.

* The sad look on Perry as he gets mindwiped and how he uses all of his remaining will to write “I fight evil“ gets me every time.

* It's hard not to feel sorry for the old lady in the game show.

* Man, Dr. Doofenschmirtz had it ''rough'' as a kid. Sure, it's mostly PlayedForLaughs and he's not exactly the nicest guy but...Jesus! Having to set up your own "Surprise birthday party", and spend most of your childhood as a Gnome?! Not to mention the fact that his parents never showed up for his own birth! It's kind of hard not to feel for the guy.

* When Perry is hanging up his hat, it looks as if Carl is crying. The worst part? Hes not breaking down crying, hes just crying, as if hes not trying to draw any attention to it.

* "[[Creator/DonLaFontaine In a world... There. I said it. Happy?]]" If you don't understand it, click on the link, and look at the caption for the first quote.

* The part where Perry leaves gets me every time. The normally stoic Perry looks almost driven to tears when he is forced to relocate and leave his family behind.
* The one who gets me teary-eyed is Candace. She thinks it's all her fault Perry's gone. The fact we know it isn't her fault at all makes it worse.

* This troper always feels sorry for Phineas in this episode, as we see that he is clearly uncomfortable with keeping secrets from Isabella, but has no choice but to do so, which leads Isabella to think Phineas is ignoring her and even acting somewhat selfishly for not helping fight Khaka Peu Peu. Probably the biggest thing in this regard is when Khaka Peu Peu comes towards the end, and he is forced to abandon her sadly, where Isabella's cries of "don't leave me!" pretty much cement this. In fact, this is probably the only episode where Isabella actually openly acts distant towards Phineas, and it's great seeing them resolve their issues at the end.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ56PtDqX1A&feature=player_embedded Ducky Momo is my Friend]].

--> Oh, oh, [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer but now the world just points and laughs at me here]]
--> The hidden girl who risked so much to be here
--> Showing my face is a no-no
--> But Ducky Momo's still my friend!

* We get to see the aftermath of one of Perry and Doof's fights: Doof is sitting in the middle of his lab next to the remains of his latest Inator, [[{{The Woobie}} hugging his knees and crying]]. Really takes the fun out of all the other battles, seeing this poor man defeated for the millionth time by a small animal and ''crying'' all by himself next to the ruins of his latest creation. The fact that he spends the rest of the episode gleefully convinced that Perry has had a change of heart and wants to be partners only makes it worse.

*** It's impossible not to watch this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrjXLX0j1ck montage of Phinebella moments]] without thinking of the scene(even with the instrumental version playing in the background)

--> "And now our endless summer is finally coming to an end, I tried to make the most of everyday but now the years just seem misspent."

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95uNiwotdaI&feature=related "The City of Love"]]. It's the culmination of how many seasons of Isabella's frustrations and Phineas' [[ChasteHero Freaking.]] [[ObliviousToLove Obliviousness.]] Her plaintive little voice, and the fact that he's still oblivious as she sings this ''right in front of him'' are just sadness on overdrive.

--> Phineas: "Hey, this is crazy. We would never want to hurt each other."

* At the beginning, Buford briefly lets slip how much he depends on the others' friendship. He's afraid that without them he'll turn into a 'cat kid' (the kid equivalent of a cat lady). Basically, he's sure that he'll go nuts without them, because no one else will hang out with them. Again, Buford is one lonely kid.

* Phineas' lack of tolerance for Candace's mistakes is really saddening ([[BaseBreaker though it will probably be for different reasons for different people]]). She tries to apologise to him several times, but he is too frustrated at her to accept any apologies.

* The ending should count for Doofenshmirtz when the De-loveinator ended up zapping his date and making her feel nothing for him. And this was ''immediately after'' an "evil love song" and Doof saying he's never been so happy in his entire life. Not to mention that he had debated using it earlier but decided to throw the remote control away instead.

** The opening of the song is especially sad in context of Candace's character: you really feel that, after all she's been through, this was just one thing too many for her to take.
