| 10 | [[caption-width-right:350:'''Candace:''' ''And when I'm bouncing off the walls, you're the one that stays calm!''\ |
| 11 | Lawrence is on the left and Linda's on the right.]] |
| 12 | ->''"Ah, it was those corny history references that made me fall for him in the first place."'' |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Phineas, Ferb and Candace's parents. Linda is an ordinary suburban mom who somehow remains oblivious to the crazy things Phineas and Ferb does, despite Candace's futile efforts to show her. Lawrence is an eccentric, slightly geeky antiques dealer who sometimes joins in on Phineas and Ferb's hijinks. |
| 15 | ---- |
| 16 | * AbusiveParents: Downplayed and slightly justified for the both of them. They love their kids, but can come off as negligent or unreasonable, usually because they don't know the whole situation. |
| 17 | ** Lawrence on the face of it is genuinely accepting of his boys creative projects and such, but he is also absurdly complacent and inattentive to the point that he's along for the ride even when things get more wild and dangerous, or the boys work on something they shouldn't (like Linda's car), it also causes him to be occasionally confused when people act negatively. |
| 18 | ** Linda leans further into this trope as an emotional variation. For the most part She's a very pleasant person and a good mother to her children whom respect her. However, whenever Candace begins going on about the boys, Linda tends to drop pleasantries and very quickly not try very hard, usually rolling her eyes, insulting Candace or in the worst case scenerios, ignoring Candace outright. To say this cycle of being disbelieved and insulted by Linda has damaged Candace's psyche to a degree would be an {{Understatement}}, and it leads to further erratic behavior and getting herself hurt trying to prove things to Linda. |
| 19 | ** Not helping are scenarios where Linda ''does'' actually catch Phineas and Ferb. When that that happens, she consistently flips her lid to the point and leans too far the [[MyBelovedSmother opposite way]], tending to lead parental movements which cause ''dictatorships to be set up or have kids re-educated into creatively sterile drones.'' Tellingly these situations tend to be undone to preserve [[StatusQuoIsGod the]] [[StrictlyFormula formula]]. |
| 20 | ** An episode where the cast [[spoiler: travel to the future (where Phineas and Ferbs inventions have become common place and made them famous). Adult!Candace technically busts them to an elder Linda. Old!Linda apologizes to Adult!Candace in a rathe flimsy way for never believing her or taking her seriously for all her teen years, and doesn't do anything to stop the younger Candace from coming to the ''VERY'' skewed take away that she should not give up her obsessive tattling (because this proves her brothers can be busted).]] |
| 21 | * AdultsAreUseless: |
| 22 | ** Averted for the most part. They are shown to be fairly competent for the most part in the series, in spite of not knowing of Phineas and Ferb's exploits. However, they spend the movie [[ShowWithinAShow watching a movie]]. Candace's plan to ensure victory for the heroes does involve Linda's participation, but that's more "making use of" adults than adults actively being useful. |
| 23 | ** Lawrence occasionally DOES find out about the boys' adventures, but he either remains unfazed or (at the most) mildly confused, so he's useless to Candace. Which is why Candace only wants to bring Linda to see it because it's implied the busting power is from their mom. |
| 24 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Linda in "Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?" and "Meatloaf Surprise". |
| 25 | * AngerBornOfWorry: Whenever Linda manages to see Phineas and Ferb's projects, it's half this, half angry at them for doing them without her permission. |
| 26 | * BirthdayEpisode: For Linda, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Mom's Birthday]]". |
| 27 | * BumblingDad: Lawrence, in a nerdy sort of way. |
| 28 | * CatchPhrase: Linda has "So kids, want some snacks?" or some variation in place of snacks, often pie or cookies. |
| 29 | ** "That wasn't very nice." (said when something disappears or changes before she looks, causing her to misinterpret another character's statement as an insult) |
| 30 | ** "What does that even mean?" (said in response to [[ItMakesSenseInContext a statement for which she has no frame of reference]]) |
| 31 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Lawrence. In the way that finding out that his sons have literally turned the entire garage upside-down or that the television is talking back to him doesn't faze him in the slightest. |
| 32 | * ConcertKiss: In "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together". Their first kiss was also at one. |
| 33 | * DeadpanSnarker: Linda towards Candace, and in general. |
| 34 | -->'''Lawrence:''' "Were you always this sarcastic?" |
| 35 | * FourTemperamentEnsemble: Linda is Sanguine while Lawrence is Melancholic. |
| 36 | * GiveGeeksAChance: Lawrence seems to feel this way about his relationship with Linda at times, seeing himself as plain and dull compared to her. Subverted in that she's just as into obscure antiques as he is, including being excited to see a keynote speech on shelac vs. laquer. |
| 37 | * GeekyTurnOn: Linda loves when Lawrence shows his nerdy side. |
| 38 | * GoodParents: Even though they (Linda especially) are generally unaware of the boys' activities, they do take good care of and are adored by their children. |
| 39 | * HappilyMarried: Linda and Lawrence are almost never shown arguing and love their children unconditionally. |
| 40 | * HappyDance: Lawrence in "My Fair Goalie". And it is ''glorious''. |
| 41 | -->'''Lawrence:''' I'm awesome, you're not. I'm awesome, you're not. |
| 42 | * HartmanHips: Linda's hips are quite wide, emphasizing her maturity compared to her comparatively thin daughter. |
| 43 | * HiddenDepths: Linda has some sort of background in astrophysics, but she'd rather keep it a secret. She also used to be a one-hit-wonder, Lindana. |
| 44 | * ILetYouWin: Lawrence to his brother in "My Fair Goalie". Linda convinces him to stop. |
| 45 | * LetsGetDangerous: Lawrence of all people in "My Fair Goalie". |
| 46 | * MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: In many scenarios where Linda does stumble onto what the boys do, the results aren't pretty. ResetButton is a given and a pleasure in these cases. |
| 47 | %%* MsFanservice: Linda sometimes shows signs of this, particularly as Lindana. |
| 48 | * NerdGlasses: Lawrence, as seen in the image. |
| 49 | * [[NiceGuy Nice Guy and Girl]]: Both are generally quite nice. It's clear where Phineas and Ferb get it from. |
| 50 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Linda is the one who gave Doof the idea of taking over the Tri-State Area.]] |
| 51 | * NoPeripheralVision: Linda. '''SO MUCH.''' In the pilot, she didn't notice the flaming rollercoaster '''RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, IN A TREE'''. Lampshaded in "Last Train to Bustville" where she reveals she cannot see well and needs contacts. |
| 52 | * NostalgiaFilter: Lawrence for ''[[ShowWithinAShow Pinhead Pierre]]''. Though he does realize that the Magic Carpet Ride segments are much less exciting than he remembered. |
| 53 | * NotSoAboveItAll: In "My Fair Goalie", Linda is shown as being annoyed by the sibling rivalry between Lawrence and his brother. At first, it looks like she's just irritated by how utterly inane the contests they have are (such as who can hold their breath the longest and who can wear the most shirts at once), but it's later revealed that she's irritated because ''Lawrence keeps letting his brother win''. |
| 54 | -->'''Linda:''' Next time, ''destroy him''. Smear the punk. Annihilate him. Make him cry. |
| 55 | * OhNoNotAgain: Linda is this sometimes to Candace. |
| 56 | * OneHitWonder: Linda is an in-universe example, having spent her youth in the '80s as pop musician Lindana, whose sole lasting success was "I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun". In "Flop Starz", she recounts her career arc to Phineas and Ferb (without giving away her involvement), who use it as a checklist for intentionally becoming one-hit wonders themselves. |
| 57 | * OneOfTheKids: Most prominent in "That Sinking Feeling". |
| 58 | * ParentalObliviousness: Justified, as [[ContrivedCoincidence contrived coincidences]] always serve to remove all evidence of Phineas and Ferb's outlandish creations before Linda can actually see it (or in some cases, just the evidence that they were the ones responsible). Lawrence, though, seems to be oblivious to most things going on around him, and either fully aware or actively participating in many of them. |
| 59 | * PhraseCatcher: Linda has three of them. In response to not seeing anything, she might say to Candace, "What am I looking at?" or "What is it you wanted to show me?" In the case she sees the boys looking perfectly innocent and fine, she greets them with, "Hello/Hi boys/kids!" |
| 60 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Lawrence plays this straight, but, at least within the show's context, Linda is actually an aversion. She does genuinely love her sons (and daughter), but she's one of the few authority figures shown who has the ''slightest'' disagreement with the things Phineas and Ferb do. The episode "What Do It Do?" also shows that when the unusual crops up, her ability to go completely bonkers over it can ''even rival Candace''. |
| 61 | ** However, Linda's approval of Phineas and Ferb's projects in "What'd I Miss?" and "Love at First Byte" is likely a sign that she would be more supportive of their projects as long as they're not dangerous. |
| 62 | * SarcasmMode: Linda does this ''a lot'', mostly over Candace's freakouts and failed busts. She assumes whatever she's showing her is imaginary or just going through teen angst. |
| 63 | * SheCleansUpNicely: While Linda is good-looking for her age as both her regular days as Linda Flynn-Fletcher and Lindana, ''Lawrence'' goes from plain and average looking to instant heartthrob making girls faint at the sight of him when he puts on the persona of Max Modem in an attempt to impress his wife. |
| 64 | * SecondLove: To each other. Considering that only Phineas and Candace are blood-related siblings, Lawrence must have had Ferb with someone else before he married Linda, and Linda likewise with her children. |
| 65 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: Sometimes between Linda and Candace. |
| 66 | * TemporarilyAVillain: Lawrence is hit by a make-everything-evil-izer/inator in "Bullseye!", but he's restored to normal before he does any harm. |
| 67 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Played For Laughs with Linda, who dated [[spoiler:Doof]] before meeting Lawrence. Apparently, she's the one who started [[spoiler:Doof's]] fascination with [[spoiler:conquering the Tri-State Area.]] |
| 68 | * VoiceForTheVoiceless: In addition to Phineas, Lawrence seems to speak for Ferb often as well. |
| 69 | * WeirdnessCensor: Linda is possibly the only person in the [[strike:Tri-State area]] [[strike:world]]'''''universe''''' who doesn't know about Phineas and Ferb's inventions and adventures - and given that Phineas and Ferb have ''been to Mars and space on '''several''' occasions'' that's ''not'' an exaggeration as they've literally built stuff in space. The boys themselves are completely unaware of this fact and frequently aid Candace's attempts to expose them. |

| 77 | [[caption-width-right:320:''Agent P, over here\ |
| 78 | Let us get this thing in gear'']] |
| 79 | ->''"Ah, good morning Agent P."'' |
| 80 | |
| 81 | Perry's immediate superior. It's to him that Perry reports each episode to get a briefing on whatever Dr. Doofenshmirtz is up to. Despite his usually stiff and serious demeanor, it's been shown that he's actually a bit scatterbrained, with his briefings being vague or otherwise unhelpful. |
| 82 | ---- |
| 83 | * AlliterativeName: Only when referred to in his official capacity: Major Monogram. |
| 84 | * AsYouKnow: Reminds Perry (and the audience) of O.W.C.A. policies when they become plot-relevant. |
| 85 | * AscendedExtra: He was originally meant to be nothing more than a [[MrExposition talking head on a screen]] who sent Perry on his missions, but he soon gained an assistant, was eventually revealed to have a son, and had significant roles in multiple episodes (notably "Where's Perry?" and "Save Summer"). |
| 86 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He may act goofy much of the time, but he can also more than hold his own in a fight. |
| 87 | * BigGood: He is the head of the O.W.C.A., a secret spy agency whose mission seems to be to stop evil scientists from carrying out their diabolical plans. |
| 88 | * BigOlUnibrow: One of his most prominent physical features, even being mentioned numerous times in-universe. Doofenshmirtz even calls him "Major Monobrow". |
| 89 | -->'''Major Monogram''': That tears it, I'm getting my tweezers back from Carl. |
| 90 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: He can be [[MeanBoss inconsiderate]], [[ManChild juvenile]], and [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} unfocused]], but "Save Summer" shows how essential his leadership is for the operation of O.W.C.A.. |
| 91 | * CareerNotTaken: Major Monogram became head of OWCA because the career ran in his family, but he really wanted to be an acrobat. To cope with this loss, he tries to pressure his own son, Monty, into being an acrobat, even though Monty actually ''wants'' to work at the agency. |
| 92 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: In Season 1, he was a very formal, authoritative no-nonsense boss who behaved in a totally cold demeanor to anyone he spoke to. Since Season 2 onwards, he's a OneOfTheKids eccentric whose mission briefings are never complete without at ''least'' one joke. |
| 93 | * CatchPhrase: "Great googly-moogly!", whenever he gets surprised. |
| 94 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Often unfocused, being largely unaware of what Doofenshmirtz is actually up to, easily sidetracked by tangents, and quickly jumping to bizarre conclusions. |
| 95 | * DescendedCreator: Voiced by Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, one of the creators of the show. He is sometimes used as a variation of AuthorAvatar, such as being the one to host clip shows and do episode commentaries while remaining in character. |
| 96 | * DistaffCounterpart: |
| 97 | ** England's spy bureau has a woman of the same age as him named Inspector Initials. |
| 98 | ** Admiral Acronym, the head of Pinky's division. |
| 99 | * DistressedDude: He gets captured by villains now and then, such as in "Summer Belongs to You!", "Where's Perry?", and the Musical Cliptastic Countdown. |
| 100 | %%* DotingParent: To Monty. |
| 101 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Francis. He doesn't actually seem embarrassed of at all though, and just seems confused when Doofenshmirtz makes fun of it. |
| 102 | * EnemyMine: In the "Save Summer" special, Monogram temporarily loses his job and became homeless, but he shares Doof's disgust over Rodney's plot to send the Earth into a new Ice Age, as Doof reprimands him for letting L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. succeed in taking over the Earth. To that end, Monogram personally aids Doofenshmirtz in stopping Rodney from endangering the Earth. |
| 103 | * FedoraOfAsskicking: Rarely wears it, but he will doff it when it's time to kick some ass (such as in "Where's Perry? (Part Two)"). |
| 104 | * FollowInMyFootsteps: Major Monogram was a straight example of his trope and wanted to escape the family legacy and become an acrobat. |
| 105 | %%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric (oh so very Choleric) |
| 106 | * GenderBlenderName: Doofenshmirtz repeatedly tries to needle him over his "feminine" name. The closest it ever comes to working is the first time, when Monogram patiently explains that the masculine and feminine versions are spelled differently and it's a very common name. |
| 107 | * GenreBlind: In "Save Summer", he loudly proclaims his optimism on how the O.W.C.A. graduation event will go, whereas both Perry and Carl appear to realize that he's TemptingFate. He also has a recurring tendency to jump to highly unusual and illogical conclusions. Averted in the commentary for "The Chronicles of Meap", though he still lacks MediumAwareness. |
| 108 | * TheGhost: He is frequently said to be married, but his wife was never seen in the series. |
| 109 | * GoodCounterpart: To Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, and also to Aloyse von Roddenstein and the members of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.. |
| 110 | * GoodIsNotNice: In contrast to Doofenshmirtz's AffablyEvil, Monogram is dedicated to fighting evil, but is often a bit of a jerk. |
| 111 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: He often comes across as being inconsiderate towards Carl and sometimes Perry, but is rarely mean on purpose. |
| 112 | * JerkassRealization: It takes [[spoiler:Carl turning evil and threatening to take over the Tri-State Area]] for Monogram to realize [[spoiler:how much he has been neglecting and mistreating the intern]]. |
| 113 | * TheLeader: Of one division in the O.W.C.A. |
| 114 | * LetsGetDangerous: As goofy as he usually is, when things get gritty you'll find that he's not an authority figure in the O.W.C.A. for nothing. |
| 115 | * MadeOfIron: Joked with in "Summer Belongs to You", when he claims to have nerves of steel, an iron will, and a series of other metallic-related attributes, concluding that he's "basically 35 percent metal". |
| 116 | * MajorlyAwesome: His "awesome" aspect is rarely shown, but when it is... |
| 117 | * ManChild: Several times. For example, he is disheartened when the local fast food restaurant's clown mascot figure is stolen, and tears up when reporting it to Perry. |
| 118 | * MeanBoss: While he's not intentional in how he acts he still treats Carl like dirt. To a lesser extent he is this to Perry since he will send him after Doofenshmirtz even when Perry is supposed to be on his day off. |
| 119 | * MissionControl: Gives instructions by video call, whether Perry is in his lair or out in the field. Although on some occasions, he meets Agent P in person whether it be for urgency or due to various silly reasons (i.e. his video screen is broken due to Carl playing croquet indoors, or using the sauna to avoid losing their privileges of using it). |
| 120 | * MisterExposition: His main role, narratively speaking. Since Perry cannot speak, most of what we know about O.W.C.A. comes from his exposition. |
| 121 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Jeff "Swampy" Marsh essentially based Monogram's voice on his imitation of newsreader Creator/WalterCronkite. |
| 122 | * NoodleIncident: His time at "the Academy". The RunningGag of him being cut off by abrupt scene changes has also resulted in a few others. |
| 123 | ** The only thing we know for sure about his time at the Academy is that he did some sort of favor for Creator/RayLiotta. |
| 124 | * OffhandBackhand: He turns out to be quite adept at this. |
| 125 | * PapaWolf: Seems to have these tendencies toward Carl. When he believes Carl is in danger in "Undercover Carl", it marks the first time he goes into the field himself, with a small army of black choppers and vans in tow, no less. |
| 126 | * PointyHairedBoss: Arguable, but consider this: He refuses to ever give Perry a vacation, even though he only ever pits him against an IneffectualSympatheticVillain that any ''marginally'' competent crimefighter could've handled easily. And you sometimes get the impression that he hasn't bothered to do any research on said villain's activities recently ("Uh...Stop Doofenshmirtz"). |
| 127 | ** Heck, one time Heinz actually ''called in sick'' to be bothered with their usual routine. Monogram's response ''while he was sick no less'': "How dare he call in sick when everyone already gathered. Screw that, we're going on as planned!". |
| 128 | ** Though in his defense, Perry seems to have a good time beating Doofenshmirtz. |
| 129 | * ProperlyParanoid: He constantly sends Perry after Doofenshmirtz, regardless of what Doofenshmirtz is doing, or even if he isn't doing anything. But most of the time Doofenshmirtz is working some kind of scheme, so Monogram is at least partially right about that. Doofenshmirtz's schemes aren't especially dangerous, but Monogram is typically right about when he is scheming. |
| 130 | * RapidHairGrowth: "Save Summer" even shows him apparently ''growing a new mustache at will''. |
| 131 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Though he often comes across as incompetent, he generally recognizes when situations get serious. |
| 132 | * [[SandInMyEyes Sweating Through My Eyes]]: He denies that he is crying when [[spoiler:Phineas and Ferb bid farewell to Agent P before having their minds wiped at the end of the movie]]. |
| 133 | * StraightManAndWiseGuy: Has this dynamic with Carl. |
| 134 | -->'''Major Monogram''': I didn't become a major so I could sweat out a vaudeville routine with an intern. |
| 135 | %%* ThoseTwoGuys: With Carl. |
| 136 | * YouAreTooLate: In the Series Finale, Doof takes over the Tri-State Area by being elected as its first Tri-Governor and wrote a law forbidding Monogram and his agents to thwart him, which forced a depressed Monogram to accept defeat. |
| 137 | -->'''Monogram:''' Sorry, Agent P, I just received confirmation that Doof's anti-thwarting legislation is completely legal and official. So, I... guess we're the bad guys now. And I guess this means you're on hiatus... at least until his term is over. Monogram out. |

Even when Vanessa describes Doof's daily routine as an evil scientist that usually happens, Charlene passes this out as fiction, believing that Vanessa is being overly dramatic, much to Vanessa's frustration. |
| 203 | * OhNoNotAgain: Charlene is this sometimes to Vanessa. |
| 204 | * ParentalObliviousness: |
| 205 | ** Justified, as [[ContrivedCoincidence contrived coincidences]] always serve to remove or sabotage any evidence of Doof's schemes before Charlene can actually see it, which might add up to her snarkiness towards him and Vanessa. |
| 206 | ** However, it's quite {{Subverted|Trope}} a few times when Charlene was impressed with what Doof has done. In "Thaddeus and Thor" she was briefly surprised to see that Doof created a machine to help him cope with his poor kicking skills as he pulled a good kick during the Doofenshmirtz family reunion. In "Bee Day", she complimented Doof for using bee pheremones to make himself look more attractive. In "This Is Your Backstory", she is even aware that Doof built a giant robot named Norm to serve as his assistant and complimented him for his tuxedo design. |
| 207 | * StoicSpectacles: Never seen without glasses that reflect her serious personality. |
| 208 | * UglyGuyHotWife: Ex-wife in this case, but she's quite easy on the eyes while Doof is a major {{Gonk}}. |

| 220 | A former hair metal band from the early nineties. They were a favorite of Linda and Lawrence until they split up. As an anniversary gift to their parents, Phineas and Ferb spend the episode "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together!" trying to convince them to get together for a reunion concert. |
| 221 | ---- |
| 222 | * AdultsAreUseless: The only adults in the movie to (somewhat) avert this. More so in a deleted scene where Danny gets to take out at least one Normbot with a simple OffhandBackhand! |
| 223 | * AllDrummersAreAnimals: Subverted with Sherman. He looked just as wild as the others in the band's heyday, but went on to work in a library and is by far their most laid-back member. While the others go back to their old costumes after the reunion, Sherman in nearly all of his appearances retains his plain, boring librarian outfit, mainly because he grew a BalloonBelly and can no longer fit in it. |
| 224 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Bobbi Fabulous, the bassist. |
| 225 | * AndShowItToYou: Sung about and done so with a Normbot in "Robot Riot"... at least in a deleted scene. |
| 226 | * AppealToFlattery: How the boys covince Bobbi to reunite with the other band members; by telling him that he's the one who steals the show. |
| 227 | * AutobotsRockOut: Their main role during the FinalBattle in the movie is to provide live musical accompaniment. |
| 228 | %%* FakeBand |
| 229 | * BlackSheepHit: An InUniverse example. The band usually performs glammy, HardRock or [[BluesRock bluesy rock]] songs like "Robot Riot" and "The Ballad of Klimpaloon". But "You Snuck Your Way Right Into My Heart" is a an '80s SynthPop ballad. |
| 230 | * HeavyMetalUmlaut: They might be more hair metal than heavy metal, but they've still got the umlaut on the "a". |
| 231 | * InformedAbility: Bobbi Fabulous is supposed to be an incredible hairstylist, but he only seems capable of producing the exact same hairstyle over and over again, regardless of who he's putting it on. Even at that, in "Fly on the Wall", it is revealed that he actually wears a wig. |
| 232 | * MrFanservice: They've got quite a little troop of [[YaoiFangirl fangirls]] on deviantArt. |
| 233 | * MyspeldRokband: Handle is typically spelled without an umlaut, and without ending with an "el". |
| 234 | * NoodleIncident: "Albuquerque '93". Also, "Detroit '84", but at least we know ''that'' involved [[NoodleImplements juice and some packing tape]]. |
| 235 | * OffhandBackhand: Danny does this to a Normbot in a deleted scene. |
| 236 | * ThePowerOfRock: |
| 237 | ** "Danny's Song" is all about this. |
| 238 | ** Hell, Danny in general is all about this. "It's only my ''life''", indeed. |
| 239 | * PunnyName: Their name is a play on love handles and the name of the baroque composer Music/GeorgeFredericHandel (born Georg Friederich '''Händel'''). |
| 240 | * TrueCompanions: After they're reunited in their introductory episode, they're almost never seen apart again. |

| 253 | |
| 254 | Danville's mayor and Dr. Doofenshmirtz's "goody two-shoes" younger brother. A frequent target of Heinz's animosity, for being the favored son and generally out-performing him at everything when the two were growing up. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * TheAhnold: He's got the chiseled body of a typical action star, but he shares his brother's pointy nose. |
| 257 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: For Heinz. |
| 258 | * BigLittleBrother: He is definitely more mature and more physically impressive than [[{{Manchild}} Heinz]], though he is in fact the younger sibling. |
| 259 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rather mean to Heinz, but he's helped others and is hinted to be why Danville is a great place to live. Once he even spent twenty years trying to restore his brother's painting. |
| 260 | * NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Even though he grew up in Gimmelshtump, Drusselstein, like his brother, he does not speak with an Eastern European accent. Instead, he has an upperclass Mid-Atlantic accent that his voice actor, John O'Hurley, tends to speak with. |
| 261 | * ObliviouslyEvil: In most of Heinz's {{Freudian Excuse}}s that involve him, Roger doesn't seem to realize what his actions were doing to his brother, with even his younger self's actions in "Make Play" making at least some sense when you consider how much his parents pampered him. In "Magic Carpet Ride", the only time he's part of a FreudianExcuse when he's older than a child, he's genuinely regretful of how his actions hurt Heinz, even if it wasn't completely his fault. |
| 262 | * OnlySaneMan: Of the Doofenshmirtz family, anyway, considering how he was the only one to notice that Heinz only wants a little respect, and acknowledges that he does kinda deserve it. |
| 263 | * PatientZero: Roger Doofenshmirtz plays this role in "Night of the Living Pharmacists" after his brother's scheme goes horribly right. |
| 264 | * PetTheDog: He spent 20 years remaking his older brother's painting that he had accidentally ruined as a kid. Unfortunately, Heinz ruins this one too. Also, whatever the issues he and his brother may have, he clearly doesn't let them affect his treatment of his niece, as Vanessa says that she likes "Uncle Roger". |
| 265 | * SleazyPolitician: Roger is something of a mild example. While he's not outright unpleasant or criminal, he seems to care more about his popularity than the lives of others, and the worst thing he's shown doing is making his brother the fall guy in "The Beak". |
| 266 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Well, "Doofenshmirtz" isn't a small name at all, but the idea still stands. |
| 267 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He shares the Doofenshmirtz family nose with his brother and his parents. |
| 268 | * UniversallyBelovedLeader: Everyone from his parents to the voters to [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext giant squids]] love him, with the sole exception of his brother. |
| 269 | * VillainWithGoodPublicity: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. He's not a villain, but a complete jerk. Though how much of a jerk [[DependingOnTheWriter tends to change from episode to episode]]. On the one hand he's implied to be part of the reason Danville is such a nice place to live, having done a lot of genuinely good work and helped a lot of people (before becoming Mayor, he once got the key to the town from the then Mayor), and his niece Vanessa says she likes him. On the other hand, he's rather full of himself, lazy when he can get away with it, and often quite a jerk to his brother ("And I've already wasted half the morning not caring at all about being on time for our golf game")... then again, he spent twenty years restoring his brother's painting he accidentally ruined (though, that may have just been because he respected the quality of the work, but he did go to lengths to credit Heinz in his speech), so it's a really mixed bag. |

| 278 | |
| 279 | Another mad scientist and rival within L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. to Doofenshmirtz. |
| 280 | ---- |
| 281 | * BaldOfEvil: Evil and prominently bald. |
| 282 | * BigBad: |
| 283 | ** In "Recap/PhineasAndFerbSaveSummer". |
| 284 | ** Given his status as the (apparent) leader of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N., and the fact that he's an enemy to both Perry and Doofenshmirtz, you could make the argument that he's this for the whole series. |
| 285 | * CharacterDevelopment: During his previous appearances, he was shown to be as goofy as Doofenshmirtz, that is until "Save Summer", where he becomes completely psychopathic in nature by revealing his ruthless plan to bring in a new Ice Age that would endanger the entire world population, an act that everyone (including Doofenshmirtz) finds to be very disturbing. Even Perry thinks of Rodney to be far more despicable than Doofenshmirtz as the imminent cataclysm would [[BigBrotherInstinct endanger his host family]] as well. |
| 286 | * CreatorCameo: Voiced by one of the writers on the show. |
| 287 | * DiabolicalMastermind: Upon hearing of Doofenshmirtz's successful scheme of moving the Earth to an early autumn, Rodney takes the opportunity to exploit the event, effectively becoming the brains behind L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.'s plot to rule the Earth. He arranged his fellow villains to capture nearly all of O.W.C.A.'s agents, hold the world for ransom, and contact the world leaders to meet their demands by any means. |
| 288 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: |
| 289 | ** In "A Real Boy", Rodney is shown to care for his son named Orville, whom he praises for his assistance in helping him create his inizors. Also, in "Love at First Byte", Rodney is shown to be overprotective towards his robot assistant named Chloe, as he forbids her to hang out with Doof's robot Norm because of his rivalry with Doof (despite Norm and Chloe's love for each other due to their dancing skills). |
| 290 | ** However, the "Save Summer" special completely subverts all of this as Rodney was willing to put the Earth into a horrible fate that would endanger the entire world population, so it may be clear that his relationships with his son and robot assistant are very insincere and of no regards to him anymore (and even when he was praising his son, it was more about taunting Doof than anything). |
| 291 | %%* EvilGenius |
| 292 | * [[EvilCounterpart Eviler Counterpart]]: To Doofenshmirtz. Rodney's just as goofy, but lacks Doof's redeeming qualities. |
| 293 | ** Also, to an extent, to Phineas and Ferb, who strive to make summer more fun for everyone while Rodney plots to destroy summer for his own selfish ends. |
| 294 | * EvilIsHammy: He has the hamminess to match Doofenshmirtz, and unlike him, Rodney can actually be considered evil. |
| 295 | * EvilIsPetty: In "Save Summer" he makes a list of demands that if not met he will plunge the world into an eternal winter. When one item from the list isn't met, a minor one involving pretzels, he makes good on the threat. When Doofenshmirtz tries to destroy the machine to allow Earth to be returned to normal, Rodney spites him by trying to plunge Earth into an ice age. |
| 296 | * EvilerThanThou: Unlike the other villains in the show, underneath his goofy exterior, Rodney was an absolute psycho with no concern for anything but himself, having absolutely no morals when it comes to power. |
| 297 | %%* FauxAffablyEvil |
| 298 | %%* FourEyesZeroSoul |
| 299 | * FluffyTheTerrible: Literally; his pet piranha is named Fluffy. |
| 300 | * GadgeteerGenius: Like Doofenshmirtz, he invents many contraptions to further his evil goals. He calls his "inizors". |
| 301 | * GoodParents: Subverted, as he cared more of his desire to rule the world than the well-being of his son. |
| 302 | * HarmlessVillain: Up until "Save Summer", he was shown be no more effective a villain than Doofenshmirtz. And even then he was capitalizing on one of Doof's schemes. |
| 303 | %%* HerrDoktor |
| 304 | * InSeriesNickname: Addressed as "Rodney" by Doofenshmirtz because of his long full name, something which he later gets used to. |
| 305 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Always attempts to downplay Doofenshmirtz in the art of evil; even when Doof calls him a jerk for trying to steal one of his inators, Rodney himself takes great delight in being called one. It would further intensify when he attempted to move the Earth into an ice age. During the final fight, Rodney attempts to talk Doof out of fighting and suggests a team-up that would benefit them both, but seconds later, he tricks Doof into looking the other side and pushes him out of the way to finalize his plan for a new Ice Age. |
| 306 | -->'''Rodney:''' Oh, this is just ridiculous. You and I should just- oh, look. A horse in a bookcase.\ |
| 307 | '''Doof:''' A what? (gets pushed away by Rodney) WHOA!\ |
| 308 | '''Rodney:''' HA! Now to move the Earth into a new ICE AGE!!! (activates his machine) |
| 309 | * MadScientist: As an evil inventor. |
| 310 | * NearVillainVictory: During the climax, Rodney gets into a fight against Doofenshmirtz over the machine's controls and pushes him away before activating the machine to move the Earth ''further'' away; even Phineas and Ferb's rocket boosters aren't strong enough to resist the pull of Rodney's machine. To ensure of his success, Rodney deliberately disables the reverse switch and self-destruct button, resulting him to be whomped down by an angry Doofenshmirtz for dooming the Earth. Doofenshmirtz would later disable the machine by making it fall off the roof (with the help from Perry, Major Monogram, Carl, and Monty) to save the Earth. |
| 311 | * NonActionBigBad: Though he helps capture the O.W.C.A. agents by trickery, even Doofenshmirtz can defeat him when it comes to an actual fight. |
| 312 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Along with the rest of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N., he succeeds in neutralizing most of O.W.C.A. and nearly plunges Earth into another ice age in "Save Summer," putting him in a category with Doof-2, Charlene-2 and [[spoiler:Evil Carl]] as villains who legitimately serve as serious threats. However, unlike the others, Rodney has no morals whatsoever. |
| 313 | * NotSoSimilar: He appears to be a lot like Doofenshmirtz in most of his appearances, but then "Save Summer" he shows he is prepared to plunge Earth into an eternal winter over petty reasons, and out of spite for Doofenshmirtz trying to stop him he will plunge the Earth into an ice age. |

| 315 | * OverlyLongName: Aloyse Everhart Elizabeth Otto Wolfgang Hypatia Gunther Galen Gary Cooper von Roddenstein. |
| 316 | * PsychopathicManchild: As immature as Doofenshmirtz, Rodney has been shown to be far more ruthless, as he was willing to endanger the Earth for his own selfish desire to show who's in charge. |
| 317 | %%* TheRival: To Doofenshmirtz. |
| 318 | %%* SimpletonVoice |
| 319 | * SitcomArchnemesis: To Doofenshmirtz. They are constantly trying to one up each other, until "Save Summer" when Rodney's plan to cause an eternal winter causes them to be actual enemies. |
| 320 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He constantly mocks Doofenshmirtz as a failure, but not only is Rodney no more successful, but the only schemes we see him engage in are ones that he stole or piggy-backed from Doof. |
| 321 | %%* SmugSnake |
| 322 | * TheStarscream: To Doofenshmirtz, when he ends up taking over L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.. |
| 323 | * StupidEvil: In "Save Summer" he comes up with a plan to move Earth away from the sun to plunge it into an eternal winter if his list of demands aren't meant. When a minor item related to pretzels isn't met, he goes ahead with the plan with no intention to undo it. In fact Doofenshmirtz of all people raises concern about how dumb the plan is and tries to stop it, Rodney out of spite attempts to move the Earth '''even further''' away from the sun to plunge into an '''ice age'''. |
| 324 | * TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: Downplayed in later episodes though. |
| 325 | * ThingOMatic: He names his inventions "-inizor"s, or "-izor" for short. |
| 326 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: As much as it goes in "Save Summer", he cared less about billions of lives being put at risk by his plan to send the Earth into a new Ice Age than about making some petty point about being in charge, even going so far to disable the reverse process on his machine to ensure that his plan would succeed. |
| 327 | -->'''Doof:''' Okay, I had time to think it over, and we need to put the world back. I, for one, do NOT want to live in a world full of perpetual winter. Scoot over, Rodney. ''(attempts to reprogram the machine)''\ |

| 398 | * FlatCharacter: At least from Peter's point of view. His focus on being mysterious leads to Peter finding him as a lot less interesting than, say, Doofenshmirtz. |

| 400 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: Considered to be one InUniverse. Peter the Panda eventually gets fed up of dealing with him because it's all work, no mystique, and Doofenshmitz puts it into song: |

| 406 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Tells Peter nothing, no monologues or backstories or explanation of his plans, but still expects Peter to thwart him.
