3The story is centered around the Phineas and Ferb fanboy, Irving, as we get more insight on his life outside of Phineas and Ferb. Outside of being a LoonyFan, Irving is a normal boy with a normal life. Normal being a relative term.
4The series has been well received, being called "Very very funny, and very in character". It was also named the Featured article on the PhineasAndFerbFanonWiki in June 2011.

6In May of 2011, a spin off series was made called "Albert VS", a spoof of WesternAnimation/DanVs. That never got started outside of a [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7028126/1/Albert_Vs_Jeremy pilot episode]].

8!!Tropes in this fanfic series include:
9
10* ActorAllusion: One occurs in "Irving Who?" when Irving calls Phineas Greg, which is a reference to Vincent Martella's other role as Greg in Series/EverybodyHatesChris
11** In "The Grimn Albert" Albert is dressed as [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold Batman]] and Vanessa is [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime a vampire queen]]
12*** In The musical episode, the brothers are watching [[Film/HighSchoolMusical Summer School Musical]] and comment that the bad guy, -er girl reminds them of [[Music/AshleyTisdale Candace]]
13* ADayInTheLimelight: Well, duh.
14** One of the Many upcoming episodes is called “The Adventures of Albert and Friends”
15* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking:
16-->'''Baljeet''': He's been acting really mean. He realized that his Mom is not that smart, he pokes holes in Buford's logic and he calls me a nerd!
17** Lampshaded in "Albert's Shaky Comment"
18-->'''Albert''': YOU did this! You caused that quake, you hurt thousands of people! And you made my girlfriend and her family sad! ...In retrospect that last part isn't that bad
19* AscendedFanboy: Irving, seeing as when he first appears in the original series, he was just some kid that hung out with Phineas and Ferb once, but now he's pretty much part of the gang.
20** Lampshaded in "Irving Who?"
21-->'''Irving''': Awesome! When we first met I was just some stupid fanboy. Now I'm an official part of the group!
22* AprilFoolsDay:
23** In 2011, a fake episode called "Irving Does Drugs And Goes To Jail" was posted.
24** In 2012, there was an actual episode called "July Fool's Day". it's a huge BLAM episode.
25* BerserkButton: Albert has tons of these. Basically, don't hurt Irving or Stacy. In any way shape, or form.
26* BecomingTheCostume: Occurs in the HalloweenEpisode thanks To Doof's new invention.
27* BreakingTheFourthWall: Used kind of often.
28-->'''Phineas''': Wait, where's Perry? Oh yea we forgot to Pick him up from Irving's house. I guess we're so caught up in supporting Non-Canon Shipping's that we lost track of time.
29** How can you mention Breaking the Fourth Wall without mentioning this line:
30-->'''Phineas:''' This isn't a cartoon!
31-->'''Buford:''' Yeah, it's a fanfiction based on a cartoon!
32* ContinuityPorn: Given that it's based off ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', this isn't very surprising.
33* ChristmasEpisode: "E.L.F"
34* {{Crossover}}: Episode 19 is one with Franchise/{{Goosebumps}}
35* DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment: The Bug Spray Spray in "Bugging Out". Lampshaded by Candace.
36-->'''Haney''': Here we go! Bug Spray Spray!
37-->'''Candace''': Kind of a redundant name don't you think?
38* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Candace is still no closer to busting Phineas And Ferb than in the original series. She almost succeeds with Irving's help in "Bugging Out", but fails due to Irving forgetting to read the label on the Bug Spray Spray.
39* FormulaBreakingEpisode: "NinjaDude and FanMan", which takes place in the universe of the "Team Improbable" cartoon from the P&F episode "out of toon"
40* GiveGeeksAChance: Pretty much the main reason Albert ends up with [[spoiler: Stacy]]
41** So much so that the oneshot series is named after this trope.
42* HalloweenEpisode: "The Grim Albert" and "The Irving Zone".
43* HypocriticalHeartwarming: The ending of "Bugging Out".
44* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Albert
45* LampshadeHanging: By the boatload.
46* LoonyFan: Guess who.
47** "Irving's Fan" has Truckloads of this trope everywhere.
48-->'''Irwin''': Oh, calm down. I was just getting some of your hair, some saliva, blood, sweat, tears-
49-->'''Irving''': Ewwww! Get out!
50--> Also...
51-->'''Norm''': I'm fine...but how are you? You look tired.
52-->'''Doofenshmirtz''': Why do want to know?
53-->'''Norm''': Because I don't matter, only you. You're my life, I'm just your pawn.
54* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: In "Irving Who?"
55-->'''Candace''': Oh come on! There are plenty of great guys in town!...And Albert.
56** And a little earlier in the same one:

63* OutOfCharacter: Phineas in "Fired Fanboy" after finding out Irving watches him while he sleeps. Lampshaded several times by Irving and Isabella.
64** Relentlessly parodied in "Irving Does Drugs and Goes To Jail".
65* ParodyEpisode: "The Norminator" is a parody of the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', though it mostly borrows from the [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay 2nd one]], with many references to [[Film/TheTerminator the 1st]] and a TakeThat to the HateDom for the [[Film/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines 3rd one]].
66* PrecociousCrush: Irving has one on Candace.
67* ScriptFic
68* ShipSinking: Even though this is only a fanfic, "Irving Who?" does this to Stacy/Coltrane

73* SynchronousEpisodes: "Albert And The Spy" and "Candace On The Couch"
74* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: The entire premise of "Odds and Ends". though it's just a [[spoiler: simulation Doof is watching]]
75* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Albert gives an interesting one in "Irving Who?"
76-->'''Albert''': I mean I'm more interesting! I act very mean to my little brother, but I will help him out if he benefits me. I'm a jerk with a heart of gold! You? You're boring. The only reason you exist is because Stacy needed a significant other. You're a nice guy, you can help her out in her time of need...and that's about it. You're flat and boring! You're a big bore. That is the reason you stink.
77** This is even more awesome and hilarious when you find out it's a parody of how some fans think about Jeremy.
78* TheStinger: "NinjaDude and FanMan" has one, to parody the stingers to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films leading up to The Avengers.
79* TheUnReveal: One occurs in "Irving Who?" when Phineas is about to reveal what Ferb is short for. Lampshaded by Buford.
80-->'''Buford''': Ugh! How come whenever someone is about to say something important they get cut off? That gets annoying.
81** Used in the 2nd segment of "The Irving Zone" with [[spoiler: the identity of the alien]]
82* VerySpecialEpisode: Spoofed in "Irving Does Drugs And Goes To Jail"
83* VillainSong: "How It All Began: The Musical" has [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "This Is The villain song"]], as well as "Help me out".
84** "Ninjadude and Fanman" has "Supervillains for badness sake", Odds and Ends has "The order of doof", and Episode 19 has "You can't escape me!"
85* WouldntHitAGirl: But he can tell on one.
86* YetAnotherChristmasCarol: Lamp shaded in Episode 10
87-->'''Albert''': I've seen this plot before. Way too many times infact. Can't people come up with original ideas instead of re –using someone else's?
88** Done again in the ChristmasEpisode where a ghost shows up to make stacy find a flaw with albert. Stacy doesn't make it past the past section due to her pissing off the ghost.
89
