Go To

1Phineas and Ferb create a giant-sized version of Candace's favorite childhood game, Skiddley Whiffers; when they ask Candace If she wants to play, she instantly tags along. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz secretly overprotects Vanessa on her camping trip with Perry's help.
2----
3!! Tropes:
4* AlwaysAChildToParent: When Vanessa is griping about how she is a teenager now, we see her from Doof's POV as a little girl, but still ranting.
5* ArtShift: The Skiddley Whiffers advertisement shown at the beginning of the episode is done in the style of early 1960s animation.
6* BaitAndSwitch: Baljeet is not thrilled about playing as the yellow unicorn. Because ''real'' unicorns are ''pink''.
7* ButtMonkey: Baljeet has a hard time playing Skiddley Whiffers.
8* {{Calvinball}}: Skiddley Whiffers is essentially this. It involves randomly shaped game pieces, growing a beard, going through mud and a car wash and ringing a bell when you win.
9* ContinuityNod: Doof is worried about Vanessa being alone with no one to care for her like the [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbTheChroniclesOfMeap kindly ocelots]] that took care of him.
10* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "You know, fire is the leading cause of fire."
11* DontExplainTheJoke: When Major Monogram tells Perry the Platypus that Doofenshmirtz was spotted driving to the Danville National Park, he says "So, I guess for you, it'll be a walk in the park! Ha ha! Cause you're going to the park... where Doof is." Perry is not amused.
12* GrammarNazi: Candace calls for Baljeet to toss her the dice.
13-->'''Baljeet''': (angrily) The singular is "die"!\
14'''Buford''': Whoa. That was uncalled for.
15* IAmNotWeasel: When Doof's ruse is broken, Johnny tells Vanessa, "Wait, I thought your dad was a pharmacist."
16* LimitedAnimation: The Skiddley Whiffers advertisement in the beginning is done this way, right out of the 1950s.
17* MilestoneCelebration: InUniverse, when Perry enters his lair, Monogram and Carl celebrate his 999th lair entrance. (His 1000th entrance was celebrated on the now defunct mobile app ''[[VideoGame/WheresMyWater Where's My Perry?]]''.)
18* NewAgeRetroHippie: Doof's PaperThinDisguise when trying to get rid of all potentially dangerous things around Vanessa's campground.
19* NotSoInnocentWhistling: Perry does this to remove himself from Doof and Vanessa's argument.
20* PaperThinDisguise: Vanessa is not in the least fooled by Doof's disguise. But she draws the line when she sees Perry dress up as a bear, who thought he knew better than that.
21* ARareSentence: "Call the authorities, it's a cube!"
22* RearrangeTheSong: While the gang plays giant Skiddley Whiffers, a version of the jingle heard at the beginning plays done in the style of the "Quirky Worky Song".
23* {{Rimshot}}: One occurs after Phineas says "I claim the fedora, and Ferb picks the nose!"
24* ThrowTheDogABone: Candace for once gets a win in this episode, a total break from her being the usual ButtMonkey. She also admits to having fun with her brothers while playing giant Skiddley Whiffers.
25* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Candace at the end of every Skiddley Whiffers game. But Phineas and Ferb let it slide because they like seeing her happy once in a while.
26-->'''Phineas:''' Nice game, Candace!\
27'''Candace:''' Yeah, for ''me''!!
28* WritersCannotDoMath:
29** When Candace holds up the scoreboard, she says she won the last twelve games in a row, but there are more than twelve checks in her column.
30** When Candace wins, she says "19 out of 24!", but she lost one game to Phineas and one to Ferb.
