| 5 | [[folder:General]] |
| 6 | * Perry the Platypus' theme song is similar in melody and structure to Johnny Rivers' song "Secret Agent Man", which serves as the theme tune for the 1960s spy series ''Series/DangerMan''. |
| 7 | ** A phrase in the first line, "semiaquatic egg-laying mammal of action", is taken directly from Website/TheOtherWiki's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus article on the platypus]]; Dan Povenmire just added "of action" at the end. |
| 8 | * The time machine the kids use comes from the [[Film/TheTimeMachine1960 George Pal's 'The Time Machine' movie]]. |
| 9 | * The Paisley Sideburn Brothers are a possible combination of this and a SelfDeprecation to [[Music/TheJonasBrothers Disney's former well known boy band.]] |
| 10 | * Aloyse Everheart Elizabeth Otto Wolfgang Hypatia Gunther Galen Creator/GaryCooper von Roddenstein... [[Film/TheProducers Is he descended from a long line of British kveens?]] |
| 11 | * Danville was also the name of Rob Petrie's hometown in ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow.'' |
| 12 | * The '60s-style band that first popped up in "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbItsAboutTime It's About Time!]]" and appear throughout the series are based on Music/TheLovinSpoonful, specifically their appearance on the album cover for "Do You Believe In Magic?" |
| 13 | * Candace was mainly based on Creator/JenniferGrey's character of Jeannie from ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''. Her {{Leitmotif}} whenever she is busting is based on the Wicked Witch of the West's theme from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. |
| 14 | [[/folder]] |

| 16 | [[folder:Season One]] |
| 17 | [[AC:Rollercoaster]] |
| 18 | * A paraphrase of UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill: |
| 19 | -->'''Phineas:''' ...and boredom is something up with which I will not put. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | [[AC:Candace Loses Her Head]] |
| 22 | * Fitting for an episode set at Mount Rushmore, the gift shop sells [[UsefulNotes/TheodoreRoosevelt big sticks]]. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | [[AC:The Fast and the Phineas]] |
| 25 | * The boys' race car from "The Fast and the Phineas" is numbered with [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]]. |
| 26 | * Just as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xknWZIAzBCc Doofenshmirtz blimp crashes into the broadcasting tower]] at the racetrack, the announcer gets cut off as he starts saying (presumably) [[http://youtu.be/F54rqDh2mWA "Oh, the humanity!", à la the Hindenburg disaster]]. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | [[AC:Lawn Gnome Beach Party of Terror]] |
| 29 | * The bird flying flying past the sun and then [[IncendiaryExponent bursting into flames]] at the beginning is a reference to the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Brian, Portrait of a Dog". |
| 30 | * There's a quote from [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 "Under the Sea"]]. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | [[AC:The Magnificent Few]] |
| 33 | * Perry has to swim past [[Film/AustinPowers a shark with a]] [[EnergyWeapon frickin' laser beam]] to get to his lair. |
| 34 | * The western-themed episode's title is also a possible reference to ''[[Film/TheMagnificentSeven1960 The Magnificent Seven]].'' |
| 35 | |
| 36 | [[AC:S'Winter]] |
| 37 | * When Perry sketches Major Monogram, his art style is akin to that of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | [[AC:Are You My Mummy?]] |
| 40 | |
| 41 | [[AC:Flop Starz]] |
| 42 | * Lindana is an apparent copy of Music/CyndiLauper and/or Music/{{Madonna}} judging by the name. Lindana's belt with "TOY" written on it is also a reference to Madonna, specifically her "BOY TOY" belt that she wore in the 1980s. |
| 43 | * When Candace attempts to find the right outfit to wear for the contest, she goes through a bunch of costumes, including [[Music/VillagePeople a Native American, a cowboy, a construction worker, a Navy sailor, and a policeman]]. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | [[AC:Raging Bully]] |
| 46 | * It's possible that the A plot's resolution was a shout out to ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch''. To recap, Doof is holding an ice cream cone, Perry uses a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext whale whistle to summon a whale, which somehow leaps up into the air, over the two]]. The most notable thing that the whale hits is the top of the ice cream cone that Doofenshmirtz was holding, which falls through the air and, eventually, lands on Phineas's head. There's a recurring character in ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'' who always loses his ice cream in a similar manner-- once even having it knocked down by the tip of a spaceship's wing, which is the most like this scenario. |
| 47 | * In fact, the title of the episode is a reference to the movie ''Film/RagingBull'', which is about a boxer. The fact that the climactic battle is a thumb war that takes place in mini boxing ring, along with former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield guest starring, is a testament to this. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | [[AC:Lights, Candace, Action!]] |
| 50 | * The soliloquy from ''The Princess Sensibilities'' Candace keeps trying to read resembles the famous "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy from ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [[AC:Get That Bigfoot Outta My Face!]] |
| 53 | |
| 54 | [[AC:Tree to Get Ready]] |
| 55 | * Doofenshmirtz's song includes the line [[Film/AnimalHouse "Thank you, sir, I'll have another!"]] |
| 56 | |
| 57 | [[AC:It's About Time!]] |
| 58 | * This being an episode with dinosaurs, there are several ''Film/JurassicPark'' references. For example, when the kids first encounter the ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', Phineas promptly tells everyone to stand still so the dinosaur won't notice them. Later on, they all encounter a group of sauropods in a swamp as a theme vaguely reminiscent of the film's main title plays in the background. Lastly, a non-Jp reference happens at the end, when Candace is chased by the Rex in the museum, the Leitmotif of Grumpy the ''Tyrannosaurus'' from the original ''Film/LandOfTheLost'' is heard. |
| 59 | * When Perry is replaced by a panda named Peter the Panda, there's a song called "Missing My Nemesis" that sounds and has similar clips to "When She Loved Me" from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2''. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | [[AC:Jerk De Soleil]] |
| 62 | * Baljeet's magic words to "heal" his thumb are [[Film/CoolRunnings "Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, come on thumb, it's healing time!"]]. |
| 63 | * Candace's song "E.V.I.L B.O.Y.S" - singing about her current predicament with a blues band - is VERY similar to what Chris Parker does in ''Film/AdventuresInBabysitting''. |
| 64 | * The title, as well as the circus group ''Cirque du Lune'' [[note]]lit. "Circus of the Moon"[[/note]] is a play on Creator/CirqueDuSoleil. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[AC:Toy to the World]] |
| 67 | * During one of the board meetings, there's a blink-(or... stop-listening)-and-you'll-miss-it reference to ''Series/TheFastShow'' when one of the execs says [[CatchPhrase "suit you, sir!"]] |
| 68 | * The name is a shout out to the famous Christmas carol, “Joy to the World”. |
| 69 | * The badinkadinks and the chocolate river are an obvious reference to ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory''. Meanwhile, Phineas dresses like Gene Wilder's version of the character from the [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory 1971 film]] of the book. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | [[AC:One Good Scare Ought to Do It!]] |
| 72 | * The haunted house shows a reference to ''Franchise/TheHauntedMansion'' and Disney's WesternAnimation/{{Silly Symphon|ies}}y "The Skeleton Dance". |
| 73 | * The end of the song shows the rollercoaster in a fashion very similar to the opening credits of ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}''. The melody is also reminiscent of that show's theme song. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | [[AC:A Hard Day's Knight]] |
| 76 | * The title of the episode is a reference to ''Film/AHardDaysNight.'' |
| 77 | |
| 78 | [[AC:I, Brobot]] |
| 79 | * The title is a reference to ''Film/IRobot''. |
| 80 | * The song "Phinedroids and Ferbots" seems to be inspired by a [[Music/{{Kraftwerk}} certain German band which also features robots in their songs]]. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | [[AC:Mom's Birthday]] |
| 83 | * The scene where [[ItMakesSenseInContext the wax robots come back to life as a singular metal skeleton]] is a nod to ''Film/TheTerminator''. |
| 84 | * The dying words of the George Washington Robot are the same as [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]]. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | [[AC:Journey to the Center of Candace]] |
| 87 | * The title is a reference to ''Literature/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth''. |
| 88 | |
| 89 | [[AC:Run Away Runway]] |
| 90 | * The [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Triforce]] can be spotted in Doof's lair. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | [[AC:I Scream, You Scream]] |
| 93 | * The title is a reference to a well-known children's rhyme about ice cream. |
| 94 | * This episode is the first of a recurring ActorAllusion between Ferb and Vanessa, whose actors had a romantic subplot in ''Film/LoveActually''. |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[AC:It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World]] |
| 97 | * The title is a reference to ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld''. |
| 98 | |
| 99 | [[AC:The Ballad of Badbeard]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [[AC:Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together]] |
| 102 | |
| 103 | [[AC:Ready for the Bettys]] |
| 104 | * Phineas does a Creator/SeanConnery impression to Isabella: "That, my friend, is classified information." |
| 105 | |
| 106 | [[AC:The Flying Fishmonger]] |
| 107 | * According to WordOfGod, this episode's gorge-jumping premise was inspired by an early episode of ''The Simpsons'', "Bart the Daredevil". |
| 108 | |
| 109 | [[AC:Greece Lightning]] |
| 110 | * The viewer can see [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} the Muses]] on the vase Perry is hiding behind. |
| 111 | ** Say the name of the episode. [[Film/{{Grease}} Then say it again. And again.]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[AC:Leave the Busting to Us!]] |
| 114 | * The tattoos on the TV show lady's hands, and her monologue with them, is very reminiscent of a scene in ''Film/TheNightOfTheHunter''. |
| 115 | |
| 116 | [[AC:Crack That Whip]] |
| 117 | * [[Theatre/JuliusCaesar "Et tu, Grandpa?"]] |
| 118 | * The title is a quote from the Music/{{Devo}} song "Whip It". |
| 119 | |
| 120 | [[AC:The Best Lazy Day Ever]] |
| 121 | * After Jeremy's band is hit with the Ugly-Inator, the bassist turns into Johnny Napalm from ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | [[AC:Boyfriend From 27,000 B.C.]] |
| 124 | * Candace and Jeremy's cave people costumes resemble Pebbles and Bam-Bam from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | [[AC:Voyage to the Bottom of Buford]] |
| 127 | * The title is an allusion ''Series/VoyageToTheBottomOfTheSea''. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | [[AC:Put That Putter Away]] |
| 130 | * "Disco Miniature Golfing Queen" sounds like something Music/{{ABBA}} would perform. |
| 131 | * The frail and ill Candace, hunched over and cloaked by her blanket, resembles a pink version of [[Franchise/StarWars Emperor Palpatine]]. |
| 132 | |
| 133 | [[AC:Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?]] |
| 134 | * The boys watch a film involving a mad scientist and his put upon, abused assistant Torbo, just one letter different from the infamous Torgo from ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate''. |
| 135 | * Slushy the Clown references Ronald [=McDonald=], Big Boy, and also bears a strong resemblance to the fictional Krusty the Clown from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
| 136 | |
| 137 | [[AC:Traffic Cam Caper]] |
| 138 | * The Agency's headquarters resembles the war room from ''Film/DoctorStrangelove''. |
| 139 | |
| 140 | [[AC:Bowl-R-Ama Drama]] |
| 141 | * The Guinness World Records are parodied with ''The Most Pointless Book of World Records''. |
| 142 | * The post-credit scene where Doofenshmirtz is reduced to working as a "Penguin Man" in the carnival side show is an homage to the 1932 movie ''Film/{{Freaks}}'' where the villainous trapeze artist is mutilated by vengeful side show performers into a "Chicken Woman." |
| 143 | |
| 144 | [[AC:The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein]] |
| 145 | * Apart from the obvious parallels to Mary Shelley's ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' and ''Literature/DrJekyllAndMrHyde,'' one of the monsters hiding in the cave looks like Creator/RayHarryhausen's cyclops. |
| 146 | |
| 147 | [[AC:Oil on Candace]] |
| 148 | * Phineas, Ferb, and Django spend the episode in the Unpainted Desert, echoing the real-world [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Painted_Desert_(Arizona) Painted Desert]]. |
| 149 | |
| 150 | [[AC:Unfair Science Fair]] |
| 151 | * The girl who wins the science fair in the end is wearing a ComicBook/DoctorOctopus arm harness. |
| 152 | |
| 153 | [[AC:Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)]] |
| 154 | * Among the {{sculptures}} the Martians build is a variation of the Art/StatueOfLiberty. |
| 155 | |
| 156 | [[AC:Out to Launch]] |
| 157 | * This episode is chock full of them. Most notably when Phineas quotes [[Franchise/StarWars Luke Skywalker.]] |
| 158 | * The music that plays during the trip through the asteroid field bears a striking resemblance to a portion of the ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' soundtrack called "The Asteroid Field". |
| 159 | * Doof's robot is takes some cues from ''Anime/{{Gigantor}}''. |
| 160 | |
| 161 | [[AC:Got Game?]] |
| 162 | * Doof is trying to adopt a dog and Perry disguises himself as a dog to foil his plans. The pet shop owner tells him "I'm not even sure that's [Perry] a dog." It's entirely possible that this is a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', where the woman in charge of the kennel Lilo is trying to adopt a dog from says pretty much the same thing about Stitch. |
| 163 | * Isabella's "I'm going to take that ball and shoot it into that goal" speech is based on Film/BillyJack's famous BadassBoast, right down to her assuring him "and there's nothing you're gonna be able to do about it." |
| 164 | |
| 165 | [[AC:Comet Kermillian]] |
| 166 | * The title is a reference to the song [[Music/CultureClub Karma Chameleon]]. |
| 167 | |
| 168 | [[AC:Out of Toon]] |
| 169 | * The Pinhead Pierre song has a Biblical reference PlayedForLaughs. [[http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20kings%202:23-25&version=NIV Read the story here,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLMMPdzdqPY and watch the song here.]] |
| 170 | ** Additionally, the opening notes of Pinhead Pierre's theme are the final notes of refrain in "A Spoonful of Sugar" from ''Film/MaryPoppins''. |
| 171 | * If one listens closely to the "dance music" that plays twice in -- [[ItMakesSenseInContext once when Perry's defeating evil while dancing and then when the animation studio dances away]]-- there are parts that sound an awful lot like [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 "Under the Sea"]]. |
| 172 | * When Perry and Doof first get hit, the song is from the climax of ''WesternAnimation/LeroyAndStitch''. |
| 173 | |
| 174 | [[AC:Hail Doofania!]] |
| 175 | * Doof declares the title micro-nation to be his own "fortress of evil-tude", a nod to ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s Fortress of Solitude. |
| 176 | [[/folder]] |
| 177 | |
| 178 | [[folder:Season Two]] |
| 179 | [[AC:The Lake Nose Monster]] |
| 180 | * There's a boat named [[Film/CitizenKane Nosebud]] and even has somebody drop a snowglobe towards the end of the episode. |
| 181 | |
| 182 | [[AC:Interview With a Platypus]] |
| 183 | * The title is a reference to ''Literature/InterviewWithTheVampire''. |
| 184 | * One of the animals coming for interview is a fat, orange and striped cat with the demand for more food despite being fed more than plenty, similar to ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}. |
| 185 | |
| 186 | [[AC:Tip of the Day]] |
| 187 | * The kids host Aglet-Aid, a reference to the old Band-Aid concerts. |
| 188 | |
| 189 | [[AC:Attack of the 50 Foot Sister]] |
| 190 | * Baljeet's holographic message to Phineas references [[Film/ANewHope Leia's message to Obi-Wan Kenobi]]: |
| 191 | -->'''Baljeet:''' Phineas and Ferb, days ago you helped me [[CallBack build a portal to Mars.]] Now I must ask for your help again. ... Help me, Phineas and Ferb. You're my only hope. |
| 192 | * The title is a reference to ''Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman''. |
| 193 | |
| 194 | [[AC:Backyard Aquarium]] |
| 195 | * Doofenshmirtz and Perry's fight is very reminiscent of the battle between Yoda and Dooku in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. Doofenshmirtz even pantomimes an attempt to Force Pull a nearby wall fixture. |
| 196 | * A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example during the Doof and Perry fight: At one point, Perry nonchalantly switches his hot-dog [[IAmNotLeftHanded from his right hand]] [[Film/ThePrincessBride to his left.]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[AC:Day of the Living Gelatin]] |
| 199 | * The title is a reference to ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968''. |
| 200 | |
| 201 | [[AC:Elementary My Dear Stacy]] |
| 202 | * The title is a reference to the [[BeamMeUpScotty inaccurate but oft-quoted]] Literature/SherlockHolmes catchphrase, "Elementary, my dear Watson." |
| 203 | |
| 204 | [[AC:Don't Even Blink]] |
| 205 | * The title "Don't Even Blink" could possibly be shout-outs to the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode "Blink". Of course, minus the creepy parts. |
| 206 | |
| 207 | [[AC:Chez Platypus]] |
| 208 | * The heart-shaped moon in "Evil Love" is a reference to ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''. |
| 209 | |
| 210 | [[AC:Perry Lays an Egg]] |
| 211 | * The episode is full of references to ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'', specifically baby sea turtles, krill, and speaking whale language. |
| 212 | |
| 213 | [[AC:Gaming the System]] |
| 214 | * When Doofenshmirtz traps Perry in the ball gown, the first few notes of the theme of ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' (notes of the line "Tale as old as time") plays. |
| 215 | * The digitizing ray is an obvious reference to ''Film/{{Tron}}'', but it's probably just a coincidence that their last name is "Flynn". The game that Buford has is also similar to a Platform/{{Nintendo DS}}i. Additionally, one of the sounds in Jump & Duck is the sound that plays in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' when the player gets a coin. |
| 216 | * One of the castles in the game is drawn in the style of Creator/MCEscher's most famous print, ''Relativity''. |
| 217 | [[AC:The Chronicles of Meap]] |
| 218 | * There is a rather subtle ''Series/DoctorWho'' gag in ''Out to Launch'', involving Ferb's ability to "maximize inside space." |
| 219 | * Candace [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial flies a bike with an alien in the basket]] to a space station that looks like [[Series/DoctorWho the Sycorax asteroid.]] |
| 220 | * Doofenshmirtz's childhood friend Balloony also being called Colin, which was the name of the dog of a girl that [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Ford Prefect]] was implied to have liked and Ford later gave this name to a rather balloon-like security robot. |
| 221 | ** Balloony (and his hairless 'head') may also have been a shout out to another [[Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway bald Colin]]... |
| 222 | * Isabella tells Phineas, "I'm endangering the mission. I shouldn't have come", a quote from Luke Skywalker when the ship Han, Leia, Luke and the droids traveled to Endor. |
| 223 | * When the villain advances on Meap, Candace points a gun at him and yells, [[Film/{{Aliens}} "Get away from him...]] [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch Mitch!"]] |
| 224 | * And, of course... |
| 225 | --> '''Ferb:''' [[Film/ANewHope That's no cloud, that's a space station.]]\ |
| 226 | '''Phineas:''' I've got a good feeling about this!\ |
| 227 | '''Mitch:''' [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack And just so we're clear, I am NOT your father!]] |
| 228 | |
| 229 | [[AC:Thaddeus and Thor]] |
| 230 | * There's a ''[[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus Pythonesque]]''-style giant cartoon foot stomping down. |
| 231 | |
| 232 | [[AC:De Plane! De Plane!]] |
| 233 | * The title is a reference to Tattoo's catchphrase from ''Series/FantasyIsland''. |
| 234 | |
| 235 | [[AC:Let's Take a Quiz]] |
| 236 | * "Let's Take a Quiz!" is similar to "Wordwang", a quiz show on ''Series/ThatMitchellandWebbLook''. |
| 237 | * Ferb wears various Vanna White-style outfits as the show's LovelyAssistant. |
| 238 | |
| 239 | [[AC:At the Car Wash]] |
| 240 | * Candace's hair is briefly turned into [[Film/ANewHope Princess Leia's]] iconic hairdo. |
| 241 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD_upnNA7bY&feature=related Doofenshmirtz mentions a site]] with [[WebOriginal/{{Lolcats}} funny cat pictures]], citing a picture with an [[http://cheezburger.com/jcampbell/lolz/View/2533630208 Invisible Cheeseburger]]. |
| 242 | * The song in this episode is a pastiche of Music/TheB52s. |
| 243 | * The crowd recoiling in horror as the giant starnosed mole advances toward them is a reference to ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''. The man who cries "Oh no, it's a hideous giant mole!" is the most obvious indication. |
| 244 | |
| 245 | [[AC:Oh, There You Are, Perry]] |
| 246 | * Doofenshmirtz exclaims "We did it! We did it! Lo hicimos! We did it!", which is a reference to the "We Did It" song from ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' (minus one "We did it"). |
| 247 | |
| 248 | [[AC:Swiss Family Phineas]] |
| 249 | * Lawrence remarks to Candace "Don't worry, it's only [[Series/GilligansIsland a three hour tour.]]" |
| 250 | * The title is a reference to ''Literature/SwissFamilyRobinson''. |
| 251 | |
| 252 | [[AC:Hide and Seek]] |
| 253 | * There's a shout-out to ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' when Baljeet has to hide in the corpse of a fly to keep himself warm. |
| 254 | * When the music during the sewing supplies sword fight plays, is nearly lifted from ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | [[AC:That Sinking Feeling]] |
| 257 | * The episode is one AffectionateParody to both ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' and ''Series/TheLoveBoat''. Also, we see Major Monogram and Carl playing a game not unlike ''VideoGame/RockBand'' while waiting for Perry. |
| 258 | * After Phineas talks about girls liking sugar, spice and everything nice. Baljeet protests that is what they are made out of and he doesn't want to build one, which is a clear ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' shout-out. |
| 259 | |
| 260 | [[AC:The Baljeatles]] |
| 261 | * When Candace is listing examples of nicknames boyfriends give their girlfriends, she caps it off with [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse "Peg Leg Pete."]] |
| 262 | * Baljeet begins his song "Somebody Give Me a Grade" by shouting "I have got something to say!" Someone on the writing staff is clearly a Music/DefLeppard fan. |
| 263 | * The band's name is [[Music/TheBeatles The Baljeatles]]. |
| 264 | |
| 265 | [[AC:Vanessassary Roughness]] |
| 266 | * When trying to decide on a present for Jeremy, Stacy recalls that he likes camping and outdoors activities. She then mimes using a bow and arrow and invokes the story about William Tell, declaring, "Take that, apple on kid's head!" |
| 267 | |
| 268 | [[AC:No More Bunny Business]] |
| 269 | * The ''Attack of the Clones'' fight between Yoda and Dooku is parodied between Perry and Dennis near the end. |
| 270 | |
| 271 | [[AC:Spa Day]] |
| 272 | * In a TakeThat to its fellow Disney Channel shows, Stacy interrupts Candace's melodrama-laden apology by saying she "sounds like one of those shows we like to make fun of". |
| 273 | |
| 274 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo]] |
| 275 | * This is a WholePlotReference to ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartII'' as adult Candace's seemingly minor interfering with time turns the city into a corrupt dystopia. |
| 276 | |
| 277 | [[AC:Bubble Boys]] |
| 278 | * Perry's (and Candace's) [[Film/TheBluesBrothers skidding]] ParallelParking ... |
| 279 | |
| 280 | [[AC:Isabella and the Temple of Sap]] |
| 281 | * The title is a reference to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom''. |
| 282 | |
| 283 | [[AC:Cheer Up Candace]] |
| 284 | * Perry's fight with his evil robot duplicates referenced the "Burly Brawl" sequence from ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded''. |
| 285 | |
| 286 | [[AC:Fireside Girl Jamboree]] |
| 287 | * The old "Shave and a Haircut" snippet plays when Candace falls asleep on her keyboard and wakes up with some keys stuck to her face. |
| 288 | * The Jeopardy music plays as Candace tries to solve the word problem of 15 senior citizens trying to cross a street that's 50 feet across. |
| 289 | |
| 290 | [[AC:The Bully Code]] |
| 291 | * The IOweYouMyLife premise of this episode mirrors an episode of ''Series/TheBradyBunch''. It's lampshaded in the song as a "70s sitcom cliche". |
| 292 | * Stacy quotes ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy''. |
| 293 | |
| 294 | [[AC:Finding Mary [=McGuffin=]]] |
| 295 | * There's a montage that's also a tribute to [[Series/StarskyAndHutch several]] [[Series/MiamiVice detective shows]], including a riotous shout out to the ''Series/CSIMiami'' opening theme. |
| 296 | -->'''Manager:''' Aren't you a little young to be watching these old detective shows?\ |
| 297 | '''Phineas:''' Why yes. Yes we [''puts on shades''] ... ARE.\ |
| 298 | ''[[Music/TheWho YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH]]!'' |
| 299 | ** The ''title'' is even a ShoutOut to Creator/AlfredHitchcock. |
| 300 | |
| 301 | [[AC:Picture This]] |
| 302 | --> '''Doofenshmirtz''': (''sticks his head out the window'') Who's tap-tap-tapping? Is it [[Creator/EdgarAllanPoe that pesky raven again]]? |
| 303 | ** Also, when the boys try to teleport Buford and a housefly using their transporter machine, they accidentally briefly end up with a [[Film/TheFly1958 Buford-fly hybrid]]. |
| 304 | |
| 305 | [[AC:Nerdy Dancin']] |
| 306 | * Perry is strapped down while a laser cuts upwards, a reference to ''Film/JamesBond'' which is also lampshaded: |
| 307 | --->'''Doofenshmirtz''': I saw this in a [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} movie]] once. I don't know how it ended [[BondVillainStupidity but it seemed pretty foolproof.]] |
| 308 | * The title is a reference to ''Film/DirtyDancing''. |
| 309 | |
| 310 | [[AC:What Do It Do?]] |
| 311 | * Phineas invokes the "Friends, Romans, Countrymen" speech to the group assembled in his yard: "Friends, Bullies, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Irving]]". |
| 312 | |
| 313 | [[AC:Atlantis]] |
| 314 | * When Irving's camera is stolen by an eel, Phineas suggests that he can take pictures in his mind and store them in his memory. Irving does this (or tries) by saying ''"Click!"'', like Cam Jansen of the titular children's detective book series. |
| 315 | * During the song, Ferb is seen drinking tea that fills his helmet, much like [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Spongebob and Patrick]] do in the episode ''Tea at the Treedome''. |
| 316 | * Candace calls herself "Frank Lloyd Wrong", a play on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Lloyd_Wright famous architect]]. |
| 317 | |
| 318 | [[AC:Just Passing Through]] |
| 319 | * The Wilkins brothers are named Wilbur and Orville, after [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers The Wright Brothers]]. |
| 320 | |
| 321 | [[AC:Candace's Big Day]] |
| 322 | * When Ginger whip-cracking in the song "Wedding Adventures", she's wearing Franchise/IndianaJones's clothes. |
| 323 | ** There is another one in "Wedding Adventures" right before the whip-cracking scene. Milly is doing the idol scene from ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. |
| 324 | |
| 325 | [[AC:I Was a Middle Aged Robot]] |
| 326 | * The title is an allusion to the ''I Was a Teenage...'' series released in the 1950s. |
| 327 | |
| 328 | [[AC:Suddenly Suzy]] |
| 329 | * The title is a reference to the show ''Series/SuddenlySusan.'' |
| 330 | |
| 331 | [[AC:Undercover Carl]] |
| 332 | * The episode begins with Phineas saying "Ha ha, gravity." This is the exact same line that Aang from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' makes in one episode. Just a few seconds later he says they're busy 'defying gravity', possibly a reference to the ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' song. |
| 333 | * Much like Candace's CostumeTestMontage in "Flop Starz", the montage that occurs during the updated version of Carl's theme song features him dressing in the same costumes as the Music/VillagePeople (among several other costumes). |
| 334 | |
| 335 | [[AC:Hip Hip Parade]] |
| 336 | * The Unification Day Parade is reminiscent of the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. |
| 337 | |
| 338 | [[AC:Invasion of the Ferb Snatchers]] |
| 339 | * There's a shout out to the original ''Film/MenInBlack'' movie and to Creator/DisneyChannel series ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'': |
| 340 | -->'''Linda (robot):''' {{GASP}}! Candace! You scared the bejabbers out of me! |
| 341 | ** The title is a obvious shout out to ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers''. |
| 342 | |
| 343 | [[AC:Ain't No Kiddie Ride]] |
| 344 | * Whenever something weird happens, a character says "Well, what do you know? [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostradamus Nostradamus]] was right." |
| 345 | * Baljeet and Buford briefly play a "Dance Dance Revolution" style arcade game. |
| 346 | |
| 347 | [[AC:Not Phineas and Ferb]] |
| 348 | * Doof's plan to steal famous landmarks sounds like something WesternAnimation/CarmenSandiego would do. |
| 349 | * When Baljeet switches on the holographic projector, it does so with the exact same heavy thunk and shrill hum that the [[Film/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters']] proton packs do. |
| 350 | |
| 351 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb-Busters!]] |
| 352 | * When Doofenshmirtz is going on about how great his other robot is, Norm says [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking."]] |
| 353 | ** Also, Baljeet claims that the name of his board game is called "Spinning Tops Of Doom". [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Sound familiar?]] |
| 354 | |
| 355 | [[AC:The Lizard Whisperer]] |
| 356 | * During Ferb's speech alludes to the famous "We Shall Fight on the Beaches" speech. It's not just Winston Churchill, though -- it starts like [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Aragorn's]] speech at the black gates and ends with [[Theatre/HenryV "we band of brothers."]] |
| 357 | |
| 358 | [[AC:Robot Rodeo]] |
| 359 | * One of the villains attending the convention seems [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Horribly familiar]]... |
| 360 | * At the end of his stand-up routine, Ferb tells his audience to "try the veal", a common sign-off of Las Vegas comedians. |
| 361 | |
| 362 | [[AC:The Beak]] |
| 363 | * The title superhero functions as a cross between ComicBook/IronMan and ComicBook/{{Superman}}. |
| 364 | * In his propaganda video, Doofenshmirtz stands in front of a ''Film/CitizenKane''-style poster of his face. |
| 365 | * Linda imitates an Austrian accent and says, [[Film/TheTerminator "I'll be back"]]. |
| 366 | |
| 367 | [[AC:She's the Mayor]] |
| 368 | * There're campaign posters with Candace's face on them, posters which have [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama a very familiar stylized look]]. |
| 369 | |
| 370 | [[AC:The Lemonade Stand]] |
| 371 | * Candace meets her mom at the Danville equivalent of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatiron_Building Flatiron Building]]. |
| 372 | |
| 373 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Hawaiian Vacation]] |
| 374 | * The episodes featured many shout outs to ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch'', including a cameo by the Fat Tourist and Candace wearing Lilo's signature outfit. |
| 375 | * Candace has to get rid of a cursed Tiki charm, similar to the plot of ''Series/TheBradyBunch'''s Tiki curse problem when they were in Hawaii. |
| 376 | * Doofenshmirtz points out the crabs on the beach worshipping the Evolutionator, saying it was "Looking [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Kubricky]]". |
| 377 | |
| 378 | [[AC:Nerds of a Feather]] |
| 379 | * In Candace's dream, the zebra holds a poster, with a poster of her and the words "[[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Yes We Can]]". |
| 380 | * The fandoms in the convention alludes to ''Franchise/StarTrek'', specifically the whole "[[StarTrekMovieCurse even numbered movies are the only good ones]]" part. ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' is also shown. |
| 381 | * Doofensmirtz pitching the idea for a TV show, only to rage quit after the producer asks for one small change, despite already approving of the show, has been done before in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''. Almost word for word. To further elaborate, Jeff [=McGarland=] is voiced by Creator/SethMacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy. |
| 382 | * Buford references a "Hyborian Age", the place where Robert E. Howard's ''Literature/ConanTheBarbarian'' stories take place. |
| 383 | |
| 384 | [[AC:Wizard of Odd]] |
| 385 | * The episode's name, as well as most of the plot, is a direct allusion to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. |
| 386 | * A subtler one: in the original [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz series of books]], there are Ozian creatures called kalidahs, which were part tiger and part bear. |
| 387 | |
| 388 | [[AC:We Call it Maze]] |
| 389 | * The maze features a button that looks like the [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Triforce]]. |
| 390 | * Ferb making the famous idol switch from ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. |
| 391 | |
| 392 | [[AC:Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem!]] |
| 393 | * Max Modem's name is a direct allusion to [[Series/MaxHeadroom MaMaMaMaMaMax Headroom]]. And his outfit looks like the one Riff Raff wore near the end of ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'', because Creator/RichardOBrien is Lawrence's voice actor. |
| 394 | * The song "Alien Heart" appears to have been inspired by 80's novelty songs such as "She Blinded Me With Science". |
| 395 | * Doof mentioned that "You are being invaded, from space! By [[VideoGame/SpaceInvaders invaders!]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment From space!]]" |
| 396 | * Lindana sings that "I'm not [[Music/ThePolice Roxanne]], I'm not [[Music/DexysMidnightRunners Eileen]], I'm not [[Music/TheKnack Sharona]]" |
| 397 | ** In the long version of "I'm Lindana And I Wanna Have Fun", she sings, "I'm not [[Music/ElvisCostello Veronica or Alison]] or [[Music/RitchieValens Donna]]". |
| 398 | |
| 399 | [[AC:The Secret of Success]] |
| 400 | * A motivational speaker asks a girl if she knows what it takes to be president. She says "[[UsefulNotes/BarackObama Yes. Yes. I. Can.]]" |
| 401 | |
| 402 | [[AC:The Doof Side of the Moon]] |
| 403 | * Among the odd features of the kids' skyscraper to the moon is a more modestly dressed version of Aphrodite in the Creator/SandroBotticelli [[Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli painting]]. |
| 404 | * As in WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}, some elephants help put up a circus tent. |
| 405 | * Phineas and Ferb show off an M. C. Escher themed floor. |
| 406 | * Linda's words to her sons, that they make the neighborhood a more interesting place "just by being you", invokes the SigningOffCatchPhrase of ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood''. |
| 407 | |
| 408 | [[AC:Split Personality]] |
| 409 | * Candace is cloned and runs around trying to find her clone. At one point when told that her clone has gone off with her mother, she does, of all things, an imitation of Donald Sutherland's famous howl from ''Film/{{Invasion of the Body Snatchers|1978}}''. |
| 410 | * The outfit Linda is trying on in the dressing room is clearly the outfit Jesus wore in the [=GodSpell=] movie. |
| 411 | |
| 412 | [[AC:Brain Drain]] |
| 413 | * The video game Phineas, Ferb, Baljeet, Buford, and Isabella are playing greatly resembles ''VideoGame/{{MUGEN}}''. |
| 414 | * The controllers Phineas, Ferb, Baljeet, Buford, and Isabella use to play the game greatly resemble [[Platform/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast controllers.]] |
| 415 | [[AC:Rollercoaster: The Musical!]] |
| 416 | * There was a pile of these right in the first song including: ''Theatre/{{Cats}}'', ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'', ''Theatre/{{Oklahoma}}'', ''Film/SinginInTheRain'', ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'', ''Theatre/WestSideStory'', ''Theatre/TheMusicMan'', ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'', and ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''. All in less than about three minutes. |
| 417 | * "Permanecer sentados por favor" (Spanish for "Please remain in your seats") from the "Rollercoaster" song is a shout-out to the safety spiel at the end of the Matterhorn Bobsleds in Disneyland. |
| 418 | * At the end of the episode, they mention the phrase "Carpe Diem", which means "Seize the Day". Then they go into the last song, "Carpe Diem", choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who was the director and choreographer for the musical film ''Film/{{Newsies}}'', which had a song called "Seize the Day". What's more is that the set for "Carpe Diem" is reminiscent of ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'', another Kenny Ortega musical film. |
| 419 | |
| 420 | [[AC:Make Play]] |
| 421 | * Candace and Baldegunde's situation is taken directly from Mark Twain's ''The Prince and the Pauper''. |
| 422 | |
| 423 | [[AC:Candace Gets Busted]] |
| 424 | * Doof sometimes likes to [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 dub his voice over movies to make fun of them]] |
| 425 | * At one point during the chaos of Candace's "intimate get-together," she snatches a [[Film/RiskyBusiness large glass egg]] from the hands of a random party-goer and puts it back safely on a shelf. |
| 426 | |
| 427 | [[/folder]] |
| 428 | |
| 429 | [[folder:Season Three]] |
| 430 | |
| 431 | [[AC:The Great Indoors]] |
| 432 | * When Phineas and Ferb are showing off their biosphere to the Fireside girls, Phineas asks, "Can we cook, or can't we?", a Shout Out to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', were Dr. Carol Marcus asks "Can I cook or can't I?" when showing Kirk the Genesis Cave. |
| 433 | |
| 434 | [[AC:Canderemy]] |
| 435 | * Trade in a milk jug and chicken leg for a beer and donut, and the sleeping Jeremy would be a dead ringer for [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homer Simpson]]. |
| 436 | * The garlic roach cone quotes ''Literature/Catch22'': "So cold..." |
| 437 | |
| 438 | [[AC:Run, Candace, Run]] |
| 439 | * The title song which is a style parody of the music from ''Film/RunLolaRun'', stops very abruptly with [[WatchOutForThatTree "Nothing can stop you,]] [[WesternAnimation/GeorgeOfTheJungle look out for that tree!"]] |
| 440 | |
| 441 | [[AC:Last Train to Bustville]] |
| 442 | * Candace's reaction to the train making it to the top of the mountain is to paraphrase ''The Little Engine That Could''. ("I knew we could, I knew we could, I knew we could!") |
| 443 | * The episode's title references Music/TheMonkees song "Last Train to Clarksville". |
| 444 | |
| 445 | [[AC:Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!]] |
| 446 | * Isabella recites a Fireside Girls version of Creator/AllenGinsberg's "Literature/Howl1955". |
| 447 | * In one NoodleIncident in the busting montage, Candace tries to get her mom's attention in what seems to be the Creator/PabloPicasso's {{painting|s}} "Art/{{Guernica}}". |
| 448 | |
| 449 | [[AC:The Belly of the Beast]] |
| 450 | * The episode eventually morphs into a ''Literature/MobyDick'' reference, guess which character channels Ahab and which two titular characters become the white whale. Also, the boat chasing the shark is named "Pea-quad" (the ''Pequod''). |
| 451 | * This episode also features a few references to ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', the most obvious one being when Phineas says, "we're going to need a bigger shark!" (Candace also uses the same line). |
| 452 | |
| 453 | [[AC:Moon Farm]] |
| 454 | * During the song, streaks of light go past Isabella's helmet in the same way ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' ended. |
| 455 | * Doof's neighbor insults the evil scientist by calling him [[Music/EltonJohn Rocket Man]]. |
| 456 | |
| 457 | [[AC:Ask a Foolish Question]] |
| 458 | * The supercomputer's voice sounds like Hal from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. |
| 459 | * He also makes the same declaration as the villain from ''Film/IRobot'': "My logic is infallible." |
| 460 | |
| 461 | [[AC:Misperceived Monotreme]] |
| 462 | * Major Monogram has security footage of Dr. Doofenshmirtz singing a song about Shangri-La, which may be a reference to ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}'' (which featured a song of the same name sung by Olivia Newton-John and Music/ElectricLightOrchestra--the latter of whom, likely coincidentally, has a song called "Shangri-La"). |
| 463 | |
| 464 | [[AC:Candace Disconnected]] |
| 465 | * Candace reacts with horror and tears when she sees her cell phone being destroyed, much like in the old Warner Bros. short ''Feed the Kitty''. |
| 466 | |
| 467 | [[AC:Magic Carpet Ride]] |
| 468 | * The song "Aerial Area Rug" is an obvious AffectionateParody of the song "A Whole New World" from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' |
| 469 | |
| 470 | [[AC:Bad Hair Day]] |
| 471 | * Candace's hair is a clear shout out to ''The Film/BrideOfFrankenstein''. |
| 472 | * Jeremy's mother is reading the manual for the tranquilizer dart, which includes the sentence [[Film/FullMetalJacket "there are many like it,]] [[http://web.archive.org/web/20070310183121/http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/2dmardiv/aabn/Rifleman.htm but this one is yours."]] Her reading the manual in the first place may be a reference to Edmund reading the manual for a ''cannon'' in the final episode of ''Series/{{Blackadder}} the Third''. |
| 473 | * Doofenshmirtz can be seen playing an piano organ. He then plays a couple of familiar notes and one could have sworn he could have said [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight What is a Platypus?!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRZbnfjk_N4 Start at 3:38]] |
| 474 | |
| 475 | [[AC:Meatloaf Surprise]] |
| 476 | |
| 477 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Interrupted]] |
| 478 | * "Houston, we have a problem." |
| 479 | * In the musical number, Perry and Doof briefly dress as Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. |
| 480 | |
| 481 | [[AC:A Real Boy]] |
| 482 | * The plot involves Norm wanting to becoming a real boy a la ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}''. |
| 483 | * Among the posters in Candace's bedroom is one for "Mimez II Men", a nod to Music/BoyzIIMen. |
| 484 | |
| 485 | [[AC:Mommy Can You Hear Me?]] |
| 486 | * The ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' references are taken up to eleven: |
| 487 | ** The transition from a bone tossed in the air to a space station. |
| 488 | ** The use of "The Blue Danube" as background music. |
| 489 | ** The wormhole sequence. |
| 490 | ** And of course the entire ending scene with an old Sergei, and Ferb as the Star child. |
| 491 | * The episode's name is almost undoubtedly a shoutout to the ''Film/{{Yentl}}'' song, "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" |
| 492 | * When the space station gets an "Asteroid Warning" on the computer displays, the asteroid on the display resembles one depicted in [[VideoGame/{{Asteroids}} the arcade game "Asteroids".]] |
| 493 | |
| 494 | [[AC:Road Trip]] |
| 495 | * When Perry and Doofenshmirtz are fighting in the cab of Doofenzshmirtz's truck, the fight choreography is directly taken from Indy's fight with the driver of the German truck in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. |
| 496 | |
| 497 | [[AC:Tour de Ferb]] |
| 498 | * The title references the famous annual bike race, the ''Tour de France''. |
| 499 | * The kids ride their bikes over a chasm, invoking the flying bike scene from ''E.T.'' |
| 500 | |
| 501 | [[AC:Skiddley Whiffers]] |
| 502 | * The titular board game is an amalgam of various board games, most notably ''Monopoly'' and ''Mouse Trap''. |
| 503 | |
| 504 | [[AC:My Fair Goalie]] |
| 505 | * Candace's plot line, as well as the episode's title, is a reference to ''Film/MyFairLady''. To drive this point home, Ferb's cousin (who isn't named after David Beckham), is named "Eliza". |
| 506 | |
| 507 | [[AC:Bullseye!]] |
| 508 | * The preview for the episode features [[CallBack the return of "Doofenshmirtz is a Superstar"]], which includes Heinz running headfirst into a toilet. His cry of "It won't stop flushing!" might be a reference to the Super Toilet/"So much clogging!" gag from ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents''. |
| 509 | * There's also a literal shout out, right in line with the one from The Secret of Success. In the middle of the musical number, the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N singers belt out [[UsefulNotes/BarackObama "YES! WE! CAN!"]] |
| 510 | |
| 511 | [[AC:That's the Spirit]] |
| 512 | * You can hear a voice say, "I'm incorporeal. Isn't that scary?" in the haunted house. He's speaking in an impression of Creator/VincentPrice's narration of the ''Thriller'' music video. |
| 513 | ** As is Russell's dad, Waylon's voice. |
| 514 | * Baljeet's costume looks an awful lot like the creature that [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Daffy Duck]] is turned into in one of the NoFourthWall episodes of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' ("WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck"). In the preview Buford even calls his costume a ''daff''odil, despite looking nothing like one. |
| 515 | * Doof is cursed to transform into a herbivorous werebeast by the full moon due to a brain-related experiment going wrong. [[WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit Why does that sound familiar?]] |
| 516 | |
| 517 | [[AC:The Curse of Candace]] |
| 518 | * It begins with one of the greatest parodies of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' to date. |
| 519 | --> '''JARED:''' "I expect this from ''your kind'', Michael--football players, I mean--but Kristen, I mean, we were both--[[EmoTeen moody outcasts!]] We...we ''[[EternalLove loved]]'' each other!" |
| 520 | * After the movie ends, when Stacey and Candace exit the cinema hall, there is a poster revealing that the movie is called "Early Evening". |
| 521 | ** This is also coupled with an ActorAllusion, as the person who voices the Jacob Black {{Expy}} in the movie is Creator/MichaelJFox, who is known for [[Film/TeenWolf another adolescent-oriented film that involves lycanthropes.]] |
| 522 | * In that same episode, though, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent you can see posters]] for such fictional blockbusters as ''[[Film/{{Jumper}} Leap]]'' and ''[[Film/{{Australia}} New Zealand]]''. |
| 523 | * We get this gem from Lawrence ([[ActorAllusion played by]] Creator/RichardOBrien): "Well, this isn't much of a horror movie. Where are the [[Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow rock 'n roll musical numbers?]]" |
| 524 | |
| 525 | [[AC:Escape from Phineas Tower]] |
| 526 | * The tower after being shot by the rude-inator starts acting like Hal 9000 from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. |
| 527 | |
| 528 | [[AC:Lotsa Latkes]] |
| 529 | * Buford has a sock puppet, saying, "Hey! Who turned out the lights?" in exactly the same inflection as Proper Dave in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E9ForestOfTheDead "Forest of the Dead"]]. |
| 530 | |
| 531 | [[AC:Ferb Latin]] |
| 532 | * The most basic formula of Ferb Latin is identical to "pig latin". Phineas even describes it as "all the fun of Pig Latin, but safe for vegetarians to use". |
| 533 | * The Buford-potato hybrids act much like the Film/{{Gremlins}}. |
| 534 | |
| 535 | [[AC:Tri-Stone Area]] |
| 536 | * Many of the characters come off this way, being cavepeople, but Buford in particular looks like he walked right off the set of ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''. |
| 537 | ** Easily missed among the cave talk, Doofendung refers to prehistoric Perry as "Bunka da bunkakwunk." In the TV special, WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHat claims that he's "a bunka in a bunkakwunk, in Eskimo." |
| 538 | |
| 539 | [[AC:Doof Dynasty]] |
| 540 | * The training montage song "Way of the Platypus" contains multiple nods to ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', and has this lyric: |
| 541 | -->You'll travel to a swamp planet\ |
| 542 | [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Meet a little green man]]\ |
| 543 | [[Franchise/StarWars And move big heavy things with your mind!]] |
| 544 | ** There's also a brief nod to WaxOnWaxOff (which Buford, of course, fails to grasp), and the giant terracotta warrior's opening move against Doofus Khan is the Crane Stance, also from ''Film/TheKarateKid''. |
| 545 | * The giant robots are a shout out to Japan's love of giant mech series. This is lampshaded by Regent Monogram. It might be taken a step further, with Doof's dragon referencing Godzilla, or Kaiju in general, and the terracotta warrior referencing ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' (five pilots controlling a single humanoid robot) or Ultraman (a humanoid robot who fights kaiju) but it's hard to say. |
| 546 | |
| 547 | [[AC:Excaliferb]] |
| 548 | * The title and the mystical sword are references to the Arthurian legend Excalibur. The quest is given to them by the Lady of the Puddle (Vanessa), who mentioned the Lady of the Lake (the one who gave Arthur Excalibur) is her mother. Then it cuts to the Lady of the Lake (Charlene) who is in the middle of giving King Arthur Excalibur. |
| 549 | * There is a swamp in ''Literature/TheNeverendingStory''. In order to cross it, you must not think unhappy thoughts. "This swamp was made for me, Ferb!" |
| 550 | * Among the ten thousand monsters gathered by Phineas and Ferb is a WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyle|s}} resembling a green Goliath. |
| 551 | * The episode is loaded with nods to fantasy stories like ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Literature/TheNeverEndingStory'', and ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. |
| 552 | * Malefishmirtz's name and outfit is a nod to Maleficent from Disney's ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty''. |
| 553 | |
| 554 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon]] |
| 555 | * The episode takes many homages from the ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' movies, including the title referencing the ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom Temple of Doom]]'' movie, Isabella betraying Phineas and Ferb like how Elsa betrayed Indy in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'', and Doof lampshading when the temple is crumbling that [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk his face will probably melt off]]. |
| 556 | |
| 557 | [[AC:Monster from the Id]] |
| 558 | * The title is a nod to ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet''. The opening of the episode has the kids sharing their minds; besides the obvious ''Franchise/StarTrek'' mindmeld shoutout, the set-up also calls to mind ''Film/{{Inception}}'''s dreamsharing. Near the end of that adventure, while inside Candace's mind, all the kids have to give Baljeet a 'kick', by shocking him with grammatically incorrect contractions. It also appears that Buford remained behind with Candace's primal self, in her mind's limbo. The music during this segment also bears strong similarities to Hans Zimmer's score for Inception, particularly the use of electric guitar. |
| 559 | |
| 560 | [[AC:Gi-Ants]] |
| 561 | * Doofenshmirtz gets the turkey from the Turkey-inator [[Series/MrBean stuck on his head]]. This is also a callback to the ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episode "The One with All the Thanksgivings". |
| 562 | |
| 563 | [[AC:The Remains of the Platypus]] |
| 564 | * The title is a reference to ''Literature/TheRemainsOfTheDay''. |
| 565 | * We get a song about Perry's hat as it floats on the wind. The viewer briefly gets to see a man in a white suit who is sitting on a bench, waiting for the bus. [[Film/ForrestGump This show is like a box of chocolates; you never know what references you're going to get]]. |
| 566 | * After Perry eats Doofenshmirtz's cheese, [[WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry his belly becomes cheese-shaped]]. |
| 567 | * The entire episode is basically a Phineas-and-Ferbified version of the movie ''Film/{{Memento}}'', not so much in terms of the plot, but in the way the story is told: it starts at almost [[MindScrew the end]], and [[BackToFront works its way scene-by-scene back to how it all began]], slowly revealing more of the plot as it goes. This ''might'' just be seen as an unintentional coincidence, except that at the end, Perry [[spoiler:who is revealed to have had his memory stolen by Doofenshmirtz, finally remembers his mission because he had ''written a [[NoteToSelf message to himself on his body]] before his memory was erased'']]. |
| 568 | |
| 569 | [[AC:Mom's in the House]] |
| 570 | * The "Perrytronic" number is one big old nod to ''Anime/{{Gigantor}}'' and other old HumongousMecha anime from TheSixties. |
| 571 | |
| 572 | [[AC:Perry The Actorpus]] |
| 573 | * "Let's Spend Half a Day" is a new-wave 1980's song in the style of the Go-Gos, and the boys and Perry even recreate a few scenes from the music video for "Vacation". |
| 574 | |
| 575 | [[AC:Let's Bounce]] |
| 576 | * The B-plot involves a mad scientist using an experiment designed to cause chaos by exposing people's little white lies, which sounds suspiciously like the "Fibber" episode of ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', another Disney cartoon. |
| 577 | |
| 578 | [[AC:Bully Bromance Breakup]] |
| 579 | * In the GoodTimesMontage between Baljeet and Buford, they recreate the football gag from ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''. |
| 580 | |
| 581 | [[AC:Quietest Day Ever]] |
| 582 | * [[ComicBook/SpiderMan "My busting sense is tingling!"]] |
| 583 | |
| 584 | [[AC:The Doonkelberry Imperative]] |
| 585 | * While retaking his driving test, Doofenshmirtz drives a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugo Yugo]]. |
| 586 | |
| 587 | [[AC:Meapless in Seattle]] |
| 588 | * The title is a parody of ''Film/SleeplessInSeattle''. |
| 589 | * For another absolutely ''epic'' ''Franchise/StarWars'' reference, we are given the opening credits. |
| 590 | ** In another ''Franchise/StarWars'' reference, Mitch's pod walker looks similar to an AT-ST, and is taken out by wrapping its legs, like an AT-AT in the Battle of Hoth. |
| 591 | * As Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Candace, and Meap fly into Seattle, the scene is accompanied by a song reminiscent of [[{{Music/Nirvana}} "Smells Like Teen Spirit."]] Fitting as Seattle was known for being a Grunge Rock hotspot from the mid-80's well into the 90's, as well as Seattle being [[{{Music/Nirvana}} Nirvana's]] home turf. |
| 592 | * As Meap makes a call to his home planet, one of the Meap intel officers enters a [[Film/DrStrangelove Kubricky War Room]] to inform the Meap General. |
| 593 | * Also, in a very generous piece of ParentalBonus, we get Candace referencing ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'' when she leaves the last message to mom on her phone. |
| 594 | |
| 595 | [[AC:Delivery of Destiny]] |
| 596 | * Paul the delivery guy shifts his truck to "turbo," causing it to jump down the street like KITT's turbo boosts in ''Series/KnightRider.'' |
| 597 | |
| 598 | [[AC:Buford Confidential]] |
| 599 | * Buford parodies the famous line from ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'': "Of all the clearings in all the woods the world, she walks into mine." |
| 600 | |
| 601 | [[AC:The Mom Attractor]] |
| 602 | * The giant robotic Linda climbs Doof's building like ''Film/KingKong''. |
| 603 | |
| 604 | [[AC:Cranius Maximus]] |
| 605 | * Perry's transit to his lair is an obvious reference to ''Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe''. |
| 606 | |
| 607 | [[AC:Agent Doof]] |
| 608 | * Doof references the famous joke that inspired The Duck Song ([[OrphanedPunchline "And the duck says 'got any grapes?'"]]) while on a coffee break with Agent P and the other agents. Needless to say, the duck is not amused. |
| 609 | |
| 610 | [[AC:Minor Monogram]] |
| 611 | * Rodrigo makes a WeCanRuleTogether offer to Vanessa similar to the one Darth Vader offers to Luke in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. |
| 612 | |
| 613 | [[AC:What A Croc!]] |
| 614 | * Crikey the Crocodile is named for Steve Irwin's CharacterCatchphrase. |
| 615 | |
| 616 | [[AC:Sci-Fi Pie Fly]] |
| 617 | * The pizzeria promises "Delivery in 37 minutes of it's free", a nod to the now-defunct Domino's gimmick. |
| 618 | * Additionally, the pizzeria is called [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Rocko's]], referencing another show Dan and Swampy worked on. |
| 619 | |
| 620 | [[AC:Sipping with the Enemy]] |
| 621 | * The title is a reference to "Sleeping With the Enemy". |
| 622 | |
| 623 | [[AC:Tri-State Treasure: Boot of Secrets]] |
| 624 | * Phineas and Ferb's film ends with a ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' [[Film/JurassicPark roaring while a banner falls down in front of the screen]]. |
| 625 | * The title is a reference to the second ''Film/NationalTreasure'' film. |
| 626 | * The entire plot is a send up of ''Franchise/IndianaJones'' tropes. Most notably, the picking the right boot scrapper is based off the "cup of Christ" scene from ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade The Last Crusade]]''. |
| 627 | |
| 628 | [[AC:Doofapus]] |
| 629 | * FFC Regulations are brought up in the musical number: "IF you're watching at home there's a 7-second delay." This refers to the Television Delay rule set up by the FCC ever since the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy. |
| 630 | * Perry and Platy!Doof's slow motion kung fu fight mirrors some action scenes from ''Film/TheMatrix''. |
| 631 | |
| 632 | [[AC:Norm Unleashed]] |
| 633 | * Some of Norm's weapons during his VillainSong resemble [[WesternAnimation/TheIronGiant another giant robot]]. |
| 634 | |
| 635 | [[AC:Ferb TV]] |
| 636 | * Cat Car is a reference to ''Series/KnightRider.'' |
| 637 | * Buford's segment "Your Cooking Stinks, And So Do You!" is a parody of Creator/GordonRamsay's cooking shows, such as ''Series/HellsKitchen'' and ''Series/KitchenNightmares''. |
| 638 | |
| 639 | [[AC:When Worlds Collide]] |
| 640 | * The silhouette of Candace against the light, seen when the planet arrives on their backyard, is similar to a scene from ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind''. |
| 641 | |
| 642 | [[AC:What'd I Miss?]] |
| 643 | * When Buford is questioned regarding him teaching squirrels to dance, he responds that [[WesternAnimation/Shrek1 "He's like an onion."]] |
| 644 | -->'''Baljeet''': Because you have layers? |
| 645 | -->'''Buford''': That too! |
| 646 | |
| 647 | [[AC:Road to Danville]] |
| 648 | * Doofenshmirtz is set to star in ''The Pizza Guy Cometh'', a nod to ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iceman_Cometh The Iceman Cometh]]'' by Eugene O'Neil. |
| 649 | |
| 650 | [[AC:This Is Your Backstory]] |
| 651 | * The title, as well as the format of Doofenshmirtz's plot, refers to the old TV series ''This Is Your Life''. |
| 652 | |
| 653 | [[AC:Blackout!]] |
| 654 | * Candace tells her dad to "Tear down this fence!", parodying Ronald Reagan's famous "Tear down this wall!" speech. |
| 655 | |

| 657 | |
| 658 | [[folder:Season Four]] |
| 659 | |
| 660 | [[AC:For Your Ice Only]] |
| 661 | * During the kids' ice show, the famous stage direction from ''A Winter's Tale'' is recreated: "Exit, pursued by a bear." |
| 662 | * The kids' ice show of a dystopian world where everything is constantly exploding brings to mind ''Film/MadMax''. |
| 663 | * The title is a reference to the James Bond movie ''For Your Eyes Only''. |
| 664 | |
| 665 | [[AC:Happy New Year!]] |
| 666 | * About 40 seconds into the New Years song we cut to Phineas and Ferb doing the [[Music/{{PSY}} Gangnam Style]] dance. |
| 667 | ** In fact, the kids dance a number of famous dances throughout the song, including the Running Man, Stayin' Alive, and the Conga line. |
| 668 | |
| 669 | [[AC:Fly On the Wall]] |
| 670 | * When Fly!Candace is caught in her mother's car, she smacks against the back window wailing [[Film/TheFly1958 "Help Meeee!"]] |
| 671 | |
| 672 | [[AC:Bully Bust]] |
| 673 | * Perry's trap is basically a giant game of Mousetrap. |
| 674 | |
| 675 | [[AC:My Sweet Ride]] |
| 676 | * Doofenshmirtz's flashback to the Gimmelshtump car show depicts [[WesternAnimation/WackyRaces lots of strange vehicles moving from right to left in single file]]. |
| 677 | |
| 678 | [[AC:Der Kinderlumper]] |
| 679 | * Doofenshmirtz's musical number has him in a white tux accompanied by a jazz band dancing in a way remarkably similar to Music/CabCalloway performing "Minnie the Moocher" on ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''. Heck, the song might even be considered a reference to 'The Old Man of The Mountain", famously used in a WesternAnimation/BettyBoop [[WesternAnimation/TheOldManOfTheMountain cartoon of the same name]]. |
| 680 | |
| 681 | [[AC:Sidetracked]] |
| 682 | * Doofenshmirtz suggests going to Niagara Falls. The scene then cuts to Him, Perry, Monogram, Carl, Lyla, and Peter the Panda [[Film/OceansEleven at the railing to the falls]] while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHn834Qg3q0 orchestral music plays]] before they each leave, passing by [[Film/OceansEleven eleven men]] as they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23dvaEwG-W0 go]]. |
| 683 | |
| 684 | [[AC:Primal Perry]] |
| 685 | * While Perry and Doof are preparing to confront Liam, the music imitates the ''Film/{{Predator}}'' theme. |
| 686 | |
| 687 | [[AC:Mind Share]] |
| 688 | * The episodes includes several references to ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'', including the drainpipe escape and the prison including an inmate named Red who knows how to get things, with his narration done in the stye of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjKF7aQthcQ Alice's Restaurant]]... |
| 689 | * The basic plot is that the heroes are given the chance to vacation on an alien planet by swapping minds with its inhabitants, only to discover once the swap has taken place that they've been conned. This is very similar to the opening chapters of Creator/RobertSheckley's 1966 novel ''Mindswap''. In fact the phrase "mind swap" actually occurs in the episode. |
| 690 | |
| 691 | [[AC:Backyard Hodge Podge]] |
| 692 | * Linda is baking for the "Live and Let Pie" charity event. |

| 699 | [[AC:Great Balls Of Water]] |
| 700 | * The title is a reference to the Music/JerryLeeLewis song "Great Balls of Fire". |
| 701 | |
| 702 | [[AC:Where's Pinky?]] |
| 703 | * Doofenshmirtz uses the password [[Film/{{TRON}} "reindeer flotilla"]] to get to the deed to the tri-state area. |
| 704 | * In the 'History of the Tri-State Area' song, the guide speaks of the Tri-State capital building being carried on the backs of giant sea-turtles, likely referencing Discworld. |
| 705 | * When Perry and Pinky catch up to Dr. Doof, Doof: " Perry the Platypus!?[[Film/{{TheWizardOfOz}} "And your little dog, too?!"]] |
| 706 | |

| 713 | -->'''Buford''': Oh I Get it. We are in space. AAAHAAAHAAAHAAA! [[Film/{{Alien}} I heard that.]] |
| 714 | |
| 715 | [[AC:La Candace-Cabra]] |
| 716 | * The song is a pastiche of Music/JohnnyCash and his cowboy ballads, especially "Ghost Riders in the Sky". |
| 717 | |
| 718 | [[AC:Happy Birthday, Isabella]] |
| 719 | * Stacy's horror movie, ''The Grievance'', is named like ''The Grudge'', and the plot point of scary girl with long dark hair comes directly from ''Literature/TheRing''. |
| 720 | |
| 721 | [[AC:Love at First Byte]] |
| 722 | * Chloe and Norm quote Romeo and Juliet's parting words. |
| 723 | |
| 724 | [[AC:One Good Turn]] |
| 725 | * Perry enters his lair the same way [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk Indiana Jones]] finds the city of Tanis. |
| 726 | * After Perry leaves, Major Monogram sings his own version of the Major General Song from ''Theatre/ThePiratesOfPenzance''. |
| 727 | * Candace and Stacy have recently seen ''[[Literature/TheHungerGames The Gluttony Games]]''. |
| 728 | |
| 729 | [[AC:Thanks But No Thanks]] |
| 730 | * The song Doof's annoying neighbor keeps playing is "Scotland the Brave". |
| 731 | |
| 732 | [[AC:Troy Story]] |
| 733 | * The title is a reference to ''Franchise/ToyStory''. |
| 734 | * Perry enters his lair through the [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Wonderland entrance]]. |

| 736 | |

| 739 | * The "Vampire Queen and Scarlet Pimpernel" song is a parody of the song [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty And The Beast]], including the line "tale as old as time". |

| 741 | |
| 742 | [[AC:Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror]] |
| 743 | * The third story about getting grape juice on a platypus resembles the plot from Film/{{Gremlins}}. |
| 744 | * When the first evil platypus clone escapes from the tent: |
| 745 | --> '''Isabella''': [[Film/{{Aliens}} I say we take off and nuke the entire place from orbit. It's the only way the be sure.]] |
| 746 | |
| 747 | [[AC:Face Your Fear]] |
| 748 | * Doof recalls watching a movie about giant kittens terrorizing a city called "Night of the Felis" and being inspired by the attempt to make something cute into an object of horror by making it big, exactly like the classic horror flick ''Film/NightOfTheLepus'' attempted to do with rabbits. |
| 749 | * The "meanwhile at the Hall of Justice" line from ''WesternAnimation/SuperFriends'' is parodied at the Danville Space Laboratory (not Labrador). |
| 750 | * Doof's username is Heinz 58, because Heinz 57 [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_57 is already taken]]. |
| 751 | |
| 752 | [[AC:Cheers for Fears]] |
| 753 | * The title is a reference to Music/TearsForFears. |
| 754 | |
| 755 | [[AC:Steampunx]] |
| 756 | * Much of this episode directly points to Ken Burns' documentary on the UsefulNotes/AmericanCivilWar: The closeup on the coin, the period music, and the narration, for instance. |
| 757 | |
| 758 | [[AC:Return of the Rogue Rabbit]] |
| 759 | * The sequence of the giant Fireside Girl puppet walking through town is taken from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnG_Ce8Qz9w this video]] of a giant marionette called "The Little Girl Giant" that the crew found online when they searched "Giant Puppet" on ''Website/YouTube''. |
| 760 | |
| 761 | [[AC:Live and Let Drive]] |
| 762 | * With a title that's a reference to ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'', it's no surprise that the first half of the story seems to be an exercise in "how many ''Film/JamesBond'' references the writers can squeeze in 5 minutes": Perry drives an [[WritingAroundTrademarks Olson]] [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} Martin 1963]], accompanied by a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute of the ''Film/DrNo'' opening theme; Doofenshmirtz plays cards in a casino and tells a player who walked away in disgust at losing to [[Film/NeverSayNeverAgain never say never]]; a casino official who looks suspisciously like Oddjob tells Doof that no pets are allowed (Doof was holding a [[Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice white cat]]); Norm found [[Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe metal teeth]] in the lair Doof is currently staying where there's also still standing a [[Film/{{Moonraker}} rocket]]; and Doofenshmirtz' new jingle is a straight-up Bond Theme (with strong influences from the Film/{{Goldfinger}} theme). |
| 763 | |
| 764 | [[AC:Lost in Danville]] |
| 765 | * The episode was written by Damien Lindelof, a co-creator of ''Series/{{Lost}}'', and features Terry O'Quinn as the voice of Professor Mystery and a polar bear that turns out to be Lawrence from another dimension. |
| 766 | |
| 767 | [[AC:The Klimpaloon Ultimatum]] |
| 768 | * An entire scene is devoted to a reference to the WebVideo/LeeroyJenkinsVideo, with Phineas making a plan and Buford taking on the infamous role of Main/LeeroyJenkins. |
| 769 | -->'''Phineas:''' Okay. ''(gets into the snow and maps out a diagram)'' I'll just create a diversion here so that Buford and Baljeet can flank them from the left. Ferb can then use his intimidating shout to scatter them so that Isabella can come in from behind. That should work unless they have reinforcements. What do you think, Baljeet? Can you give me a number crunch real quick?\ |
| 770 | '''Baljeet:''' Uh, gimme a sec. I am coming up with a 32.3% chance of success.\ |
| 771 | '''Phineas:''' Well, we've seen worse.\ |
| 772 | '''Buford:''' Alright, guys, let's do this! [[SayMyName BUFORD VAN STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM]]!!!!!!\ |
| 773 | '''Phineas:''' He just ran in!\ |
| 774 | '''Candace:''' Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!\ |

| 776 | '''Phineas:''' Stick to the plan, man! Stick to the plan! |
| 777 | |

| 785 | [[folder:Season Five]] |
| 786 | [[AC:Cloudy with a Chance of Mom]] |

| 788 | |
| 789 | [[AC:License to Bust]] |
| 790 | * The title is a parody of the James Bond film ''Film/LicenceToKill''. |

| 815 | |
| 816 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown]] |
| 817 | * Major Monogram shouts "Great googly moogly!" This is a reference to Music/FrankZappa (who in turn took it from a doo-wop single, "Stranded In The Jungle" by The Vibrations.) |
| 818 | |
| 819 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation!]] |
| 820 | * During the opening for "Phineas and Ferb's Christmas Vacation", you can see the kids getting a yeti to decorate a Christmas tree, a likely reference to the ending of the classic Christmas special ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer''. |
| 821 | ** Near the beginning, when Phineas is defending the existence of Santa, his evidence references in turn the Patterson Bigfoot footage, the Loch Ness "surgeon's photo", and the ShroudOfTurin. |
| 822 | ** During the montage of everyone decorating the town, Ferb is seen imitating [[ComicBook/SpiderMan a certain web-slinger]] while stringing up lights. |
| 823 | ** During the credits, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene shows everyone recreating the dancing scene from the ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas''. |
| 824 | |
| 825 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs To You!]] |
| 826 | * Near the beginning, the music while Phineas, Ferb, and the gang are looking at the giant map is an exact quote of a song from ''WesternAnimation/ChickenRun''. |
| 827 | --->'''Phineas:''' [[Film/TheBluesBrothers It's 4:00, we're in a baguette boat, with a fuel tank full of snail grease.]] |
| 828 | * When Phineas gives Candace a rousing speech in Paris in "Summer Belongs to You" he paraphrases one of the most famous lines in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', |
| 829 | --->'''Phineas:''' ...Which means you believed in us.\ |
| 830 | '''Ferb:''' And we believe in you.\ |
| 831 | '''Phineas:''' And therefore, through the transitive property of belief, you ''do'' believe in yourself! |
| 832 | * And ''yet again'', while in Paris and trying to get Phineas's attention, Isabella says, [[Film/{{Casablanca}} "We'll always have giant plastic baguettes"]]. |
| 833 | * Still again, an [[Film/BladeRunner origami unicorn]] is used as a throwaway gag. |
| 834 | * The jumping robot at the beginning gets all René Descartes when it says "I jump, therefore I am". Bonus points are gained for when Phineas meantioned earlier that the robot gained self awareness. |
| 835 | * "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEBfRMKnyXg J-Pop (Welcome to Tokyo)]]" features references to JustForFun/{{Caramelldansen Vid}}s and [=LeekSpin=] (specifically, the [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]] version of Ievan Polka). |
| 836 | * At one point, Major Monogram says "Cheese and crackers!", which may be a reference to ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. |
| 837 | * When Phineas is digging out the sand, he takes out a [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants sponge and a starfish]] that was buried in the sand. |
| 838 | * The whole plot is based primarily on ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays,'' with everything depending on a wager to circumnavigate the world in a set amount of time and the race coming down the last possible minute. |
| 839 | * When Phineas is trying to explain the concept behind their trip and Buford doesn't get it: |
| 840 | -->'''Buford:''' "No, no; [[Franchise/StarWars don't try to confuse me with your sorcerer's ways]] |
| 841 | |
| 842 | [[AC:A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas]] |
| 843 | |
| 844 | [[AC:Where's Perry?]] |
| 845 | * "On the Savannah" opens with a nod to the sunrise shot from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994''. |
| 846 | * The kids maneuver their Highly Unconventional Vehicle to do the Saturday Night Fever dance. |
| 847 | * Among Doofenshmirtz's various inators is the [[Film/{{Tron}} Derezz-inator.]] |
| 848 | * Doofensmirtz asks if the plane him and Major Monogram are on board has a life-boat on board, a stealth reference to ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom''. |
| 849 | * Candace's JunglePrincess phase is clearly similar to the ''Franchise/{{Tarzan}}'' lore. |
| 850 | |
| 851 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown Hosted by Kelly Osbourne]] |
| 852 | * '''Monogram:''' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes!_We_Have_No_Bananas Yes! We have no bananas!]] |
| 853 | |
| 854 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel]] |
| 855 | * Ferb refers to the S.H.E.D. (a shed that's bigger on the inside) as using "a little [[Series/DoctorWho British Science Fiction technology.]]" |
| 856 | * When Dr. Doofenschmirtz meets the Red Skull, he asks him if his head bursts into flame or is he thinking of [[ComicBook/GhostRider that other guy]]. |
| 857 | * Spider-Man and Hulk both confuse Perry with ComicBook/HowardTheDuck. |
| 858 | * When Candace is expelled from S.H.E.D., Buford says you shouldn't get Phineas angry, "you wouldn't like him when he's angry," as she slowly walks away to a soundalike of the music from ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977''. |
| 859 | * As the heroes get their powers back and prepare for battle, the camera does the 360-degree turnaround shot from ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', with Spider-Man and Perry the Platypus standing in for Hawkyeye and Captain America. |
| 860 | ** Hulkjeet saves Iron Man from a fall to his death in a moment reminiscent of that same film, after which Iron Man paraphrases one of his famous lines from the movie as, "We've got a Baljeet." |
| 861 | * Creator/StanLee, granddaddy of the Marvel Universe and a frequent TheCameo in movies starring Marvel characters, voices an InkSuitActor version of himself as a hot dog vendor just like in the ''Film/XMen1'' movie. |
| 862 | * The final shot, as the gang walks away from a trash can where Perry has discarded his superhero disguise, is a copy of a famous image from ''Amazing ComicBook/SpiderMan #50'', in which the wallcrawler did the same thing. |
| 863 | |
| 864 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Save Summer]] |
| 865 | * "Oh, great. [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing They have a cave troll.]]" |
| 866 | * When the characters are [[http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140610053329/phineasandferb/images/8/8c/Doctor_Who_reference_large.jpg in the UK]] in ''Summer all over the World'', they not only manage to reference Music/TheBeatles' Rooftop Concert, but the gang are also wearing outfits inspired by ''Series/DoctorWho'' characters. [[http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140530004006/phineasandferb/images/c/c6/Phineas_and_Ferb_doctors_concept_art.jpg Concept art]] shows that the reference was going to be even ''more'' explicit. |
| 867 | |
| 868 | [[AC:Phineas and Ferb Star Wars]] |
| 869 | * Candace's trooper designation is TK-[[Series/BeverlyHills90210 90210]]. |
| 870 | |
| 871 | [[AC: Night of the Living Pharmacists]] |
| 872 | * The title of this episode plays off the title of Creator/GeorgeARomero's famous 1968 zombie film ''Film/{{Night of the Living Dead|1968}}'' for laughs. |
| 873 | ** Additionally, Romero voices the reporter on the street, Don Adaded (which sounds like 1978's ''Film/{{Dawn of the Dead|1978}}''). |
| 874 | * Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do their ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'' characters Shaun and Ed in this episode. |
| 875 | * A callback to ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' in one scene where Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella and Vanessa do the Janet-Dr. Scott-Janet-Brad-Rocky gag. Small wonder Creator/RichardOBrien, who created the film (and stage show) is Lawrence's voice actor. |
| 876 | * A reference to Sir Francis Bacon when both Buford and Doof make comments to "shaking bacon". Bacon died studying how meat would be in a frozen state. |
| 877 | ** Another callback to ''Film/DieHard'' when both Buford and Doof yell "Yippie-Ki-Yay!" to taunt the "mindless repulsive pharmacists". Each time, Doof says in a TakeThat moment that it's a callback to something he didn't even hear. |
| 878 | * Buford makes a couple to ''Film/{{Aliens}}'', doing his best Corporal Hudson impression, such as "Game over, man! Game over!" And later, ranting about "They're gonna come in here, they're gonna come in here!" |
| 879 | * Isabella rattling the trap door to the Fireside Girl's cabin is a reference to the original ''Film/{{The Evil Dead|1981}}''. |
| 880 | * Candace says that she's gotten all the [[Film/{{Zombieland}} Cardio]] she needs for a lifetime. |
| 881 | * Ferb quotes [[Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}} Egon Spengler]] when he says that he's "terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought." |
| 882 | * The ending [[spoiler: in which Danville is enclosed by a large wall that keeps the Doofenshmirtz zombies out]] is a clear reference to ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''. |
| 883 | ** Alternately it might be a shout out to Land of the Dead, which is about a walled city to keep the zombies out. |
| 884 | * At one point Carl refers to Perry as the Omega Platypus, a reference to the 1971 film adaptation of ''Literature/IAmLegend'', ''Film/TheOmegaMan''. |
| 885 | * This episode is filled with a truckload of ''Film/WorldWarZ'' shout-outs. |
| 886 | |
| 887 | [[AC:Last Day of Summer]] |
| 888 | * One of the sneak peeks released shows the gang and Candace [[spoiler:in a washed-out and empty city with time-holes opening up. Dialogue indicates that they have to get back into the flow of time;]] this is reminiscent of the Creator/StephenKing novel ''Literature/TheLangoliers''. |
| 889 | * The effect of the Do-Over-Inator bears a striking resemblance to the 12th Doctor's new title sequence for ''Series/DoctorWho''. |
| 890 | ** The holes in space/time that cause people to forget the people or things sucked through are similar to an overarching story arch for the [[Series/DoctorWho Eleventh Doctor.]] |
| 891 | *** Although that plot line has also been done in ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and in ''Series/{{Eureka}}'', so it's hard to know which one they are making a shout out too. |
| 892 | * One of the things to be sucked through the holes in time during the GroundhogDayLoop are [[Film/GroundhogDay the groundhogs]]. |
