8	----
9	!!Tropes
10	* AllThereInTheScript: The girl that Candace is competing with for a job at Slushy Dawg is never referred to by name but is called "Wendy" in the credits.
11	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Doofenshmirtz lost three science fairs, a {{poetry}} contest, and (in the next episode) Mars's crown to a baking soda volcano.
12	* AnotherStoryForAnotherTime: Isabella is surprised Phineas and Ferb built a portal to Mars but didn't use it. Phineas tells Isabella they ''did'' use it, but it's [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbUnfairScienceFairRedux another story]].
13	* BeyondTheImpossible: Doofenshmirtz explains that in the past he tried entering a science fair with his first "Inator" and lost to baking soda volcano. He tried against next year with a bigger Inator, and lost again to baking soda volcano. Giving up science fairs he tried his hand at poetry, and still lost a poetry contest to someone who made a baking soda volcano!
14	* TheBGrade: Baljeet gets help from Phineas and Ferb so he could get an A+. He actually sings about why he must not get anything less than A+.
15	* BriefAccentImitation: Isabella does a good impression of Baljeet (accent included) as she recalls what she heard him scream to Phineas and Ferb.
16	* ComebackTomorrow: When Wendy calls Candace "molasses", Candace retorts "Well, I think I'll call you... something slower than molasses, that's for sure!" [[BrickJoke Near the end of the episode]], after her and Wendy's competitiveness costs them both the job, Candace blurts out "Snail! I'll call you 'snail'! Ha!"
17	* DodgyToupee: Agent P catches Monogram putting on his wig.
18	* EpicFail: Doofenshmirtz lost to a baking soda volcano in a ''poetry'' contest.
19	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: When Baljeet's teacher asks him what the Portal to Mars does:
20	-->'''Baljeet:''' Well, without overcomplicating things, it's a portal to Mars. You step through it, and you're on Mars.
21	* FilmiMusic: Baljeet explains his predicament in a flashy Bollywood number.
22	* FoodFight: Wendy and Candace are challenged with topping hot dogs to see who gets a job at Mr. Slushy Burger, but it degenerates into the two throwing condiments at each other.
23	* ItWasHereISwear: Mr. [=McGillicuddy=] takes on Candace's role in this episode since Candace is busy trying to get a job at Slushy Dawg.
24	* TheItemNumber: Baljeet's song is done in the style of a Bollywood credits song.
25	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The girl who ends up winning the science fair for her baking soda volcano has big teeth and wearing a luau outfit. This is because she is a reused background character from the Shimmy Jimmy commercial in "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbToyToTheWorld Toy to the World]]".
26	* PlutoIsExpendable: Doof insults a model of Pluto made by one of the other entrants at the science fair.
27	-->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' Oh brother, what is this, a model of Pluto? Bwa-ha-ha-ha! That planet doesn't even exist anymore, you moron!
28	* PreemptiveShutUp: Doofenshmirtz tells Perry "Not one word" after getting a black eye from a masculine sounding woman. (Which is ironic because Perry doesn't talk anyway.)
29	* RapidFireBut: Mr. [=McGillicuddy=] absentmindedly goes "Buddidiga... Buddidiga..." after the portal fails to work again and the judges aren't impressed.
30	* RecordNeedleScratch: When Perry arrives early and Major Monogram hasn't even finished putting on his wig.
31	* RosesAreRedVioletsAreBlue: Parodied with Doofenshmirtz's attempt at poetry from years ago:
32	-->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' ''The movies are gray''\
33	''The TV is black''\
34	''The horses are running''\
35	''Please bring me some food''
36	* RuleOfThree: Doofenshmirtz lost three contests to someone who made a baking soda volcano. The first two were science fairs, [[BeyondTheImpossible the last was a poetry contest]].
37	* RunningGag: With baking soda volcanoes always winning science fairs... [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext and poetry slams.]]
38	* ScienceFair: The story has Baljeet attending one with his plans for a portal to Mars, in order to impress his summer school teacher. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz is also attending the same fair with his self-proclaimed "world's largest baking soda volcano" to get back at all the times he's lost multiple science fairs to baking soda volcanoes. A science fair is also apparently happening on Mars at the same time, as seen through the portal.
39	* SequelHook: Isabella expresses surprise that they built a portal to Mars but never actually used it. Phineas says they did, to which Ferb says, "But that's [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbUnfairScienceFairRedux another story]]."
40	* ShoutOut: A girl who developed [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius a set of four mechanical arms]] uses them to win the science fair... for making a baking soda volcano.
41	* ShowdownAtHighNoon: Candace and Wendy parody this in the kitchen.
42	* StalkerShot: Candle spies on Jeremy working at Slushy Dawg through her binoculars. When Jeremy sees this she tries to pull the excuse that she is just looking to see if her binoculars work.
43	* SubvertedCatchphrase: The judge asks Doof if he's a little old to be entering a science fair, to which Doof replies, "No, what makes you say ''that?''"
44	* SynchronousEpisodes: With [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbUnfairScienceFairRedux Unfair Science Fair Redux]].
45	* ViolenceDiscretionShot: Twice, both happening to Doof. Once when beaten up by a large woman and ending up with a black eye. Happens again when he insults someone's model of Pluto and ending up with ''two'' black eyes.
46	* VocalDissonance: The large woman telling Doof to move his van has a rather masculine sounding voice. When Doof suggests that people probably call her "sir" all the time on the phone, Perry looks concerned, which leads Doof to say, "She's standing {{right behind me}} now, isn't she?" Cut to the ViolenceDiscretionShot and Doof having a black eye.
47	-->'''Doofenshmirtz''': [[PreemptiveShutUp Not one word]], Perry the Platypus.
