    Interview With a Platypus 
  • Perry demonstrating his semi-aquatic capabilities by out-swimming a motorboat.

    Backyard Aquarium 
  • Perry escaping from his trap by replacing himself with a dummy offscreen... somehow...

    Perry Lays an Egg 
  • "How does it feel to have your platyposterior handed to you on a plate, son?"

    Gaming the System 
  • Candace fighting and defeating Giant Buford. While wearing nothing but a towel and hair curlers, no less.
    • The defeat, of course, consisting of beating the crap out of him with her own health bar.
    • Followed by Isabella defeating the next Giant Buford boss using a camera.

    The Chronicles of Meap 
  • After souping up the alien ship that crashed into the yard, Ferb goes for a joyride and happens to drive past his crush, Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. He stops, drives back to her, rolls down his window and flirts with her. He then flies off amazingly fast. Even though she is sixteen and he is "less than 15", she looks genuinely impressed!
    Ferb: (lowers his sunglasses) Yo diggin' my ride from outer space...
  • Candace's Big Damn Heroes moment, using Phineas and Ferb's baseball shooter to effortlessly wipe out a group of robots.
    • Preceded by her (with Meap's help) flying a bicycle up to Mitch's ship to rescue Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella (remember, she's terrified of heights)
    • And followed by her setting Meap free while Mitch is distracted monologuing. Basically, Candace is the hero of this episode.
  • It was foreshadowed from the start, but Meap turning out to be a Pintsized Badass Adorable with a rainbow death ray and swiftly dispatching Mitch was still awesome. Even more impressive considering that "Meapless in Seattle" revealed that Mitch is really a Meapian inside a mechanical suit, and that not even Meap was aware of this. Meap took down a mechanical suit with physical blows alone, without even knowing that he was fighting a mechanical suit, and probably does so with some regularity.

    Thaddeus and Thor 
  • Phineas and Ferb revealing the rest of their (previously seemingly plain) fort.
  • Dr. Doofenshmirtz finally making a successful (and extremely epic) kick in kickball (even though he still gets tagged out because he was too busy bragging about it).
  • Though more mundane, there's Doofenshmirtz's cup-stacking skills and the fact that Candace later breaks his record.

    Oh, There You Are, Perry 
  • Doofenshmirtz's defeat of the Regurgitator.

    Hide and Seek 

    The Baljeatles 
  • Baljeet finally snaps when he's told that he won't be graded for summer camp (which he had thought was a geology camp when it was really a rock music camp). So he storms onstage and demonstrates his hidden Power of Rock, and it is awesome.
    • It's the best the first time you see it. The entire episode is funny, but the whole time you just get the feeling that Baljeet will HAVE to do a song. You're terrified for Baljeet and your eardrums for the entire episode, until Baljeet storms up on stage and sings the first line. And then your head explodes, because it just gets better and better.
    • Also the fact that Phineas, Ferb, and Buford are able to perform as well as they do to a song that in-universe, Baljeet likely composed on the spot.

    Vanessassary Roughness 
  • Doofenshmirtz - without blinking an eye - uses his helmet-mounted 'Away-inator' to zap the unnamed biker who makes a pass at Vanessa. Justified, while Doof may be an evil scientist, he will not take kindly to grown men who try to hit on his underage daughter for romantic or sexual purposes. Even Vanessa herself is indifferent towards the biker's fate, implying that she doesn't approve of what the biker was trying to offer her.
    Biker: (staring at Vanessa) Hey, sweetheart! How'd you like to take a ride on a real bike?!
    Dr. Doofenshmirtz: (angrily) She's sixteen! (zaps the biker to another dimension)
  • Vanessa showing her mad skills in the "I'm Me" song. Just about everything Ferb does in that sequence too.
  • Ferb's rescue of Vanessa at the end of the episode qualifies. Rescue Romance, anyone?

    Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo 
  • Basically the entire episode - it really had an outstanding story to it. While the boys getting busted was rather heartbreaking to watch, and the part with Doofenshmirtz becoming ruler was scary, once bad future Candace returns to the good future is when it really kicks into high gear.
  • A minor one for Doofenshmirtz: when he becomes ruler and even the OWCA has to swear allegiance to him, what does he do to keep them from usurping him? He doesn't disband the organization, or put its members in jail, he just intercepts the transmission after Perry is assigned a mission and mockingly tells him not to do whatever the mission is. Just so he can crush their spirits even more.
  • Despite the fact that they've apparently spent most of their time sitting around and doing nothing, Xavier and Fred actually manage to build hyper-dimensional bumper cars once Phineas and Ferb give them some inspiration.

    Phineas and Ferb Musical Cliptastic Countdown 
  • This:
    Major Monogram: Okay, that doesn't even make sense.
    Dr. Doofenshmirtz: It doesn't have to, I've got a monster truck!
    • He then makes a spectacular exit on said truck. Monogram is stunned for a moment, then he tries to finish what he was saying... only for Doofenshmirtz to drive back and run over his feet!
  • Doofenshmirtz is predictably trapped in a cage at the end, and Monogram smugly asks him to say goodnight to the audience. The audience is expecting him to say something like "Goodnight to the audience", but what does he say instead?
    Dr. Doofenshmirtz: You know, one day, I'll get out of this cage. But your name will still be Francis.
  • Perry defeating the hypnotized audience by revealing the #1 song on the countdown.

    Bubble Boys 
  • Candace driving without getting into a traffic accident despite having a jetpack attached to the car, and pulling off a perfect parallel park.

    Isabella and the Temple of Sap 
  • The entire sequence where Isabella and the Fireside Girls retrieve the maracanut tree from the abandoned amusement park and obtain the sap Phineas and Ferb needed for their project.

    Cheer Up Candace 
  • Perry is framed by Dr. Doof and is about to be arrested by the other agents, but he easily escapes and they end up handcuffing each other. Later in the episode, he has to fight almost all of his doppelgangers that Doof had created (and used to frame him in the first place) and handily defeats them.

    Fireside Girl Jamboree 
  • Though it turns out to be unnecessary and she had help from Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella, it's still impressive that Candace succeeds in earning 50 Fireside Girl patches in one day, accomplishing feats like wrestling an alligator and running all the way up to the top floor of Doofenshmirtz's building in order to do so.

    Nerdy Dancin' 
  • Ferb's dance.
  • Doofenshmirtz intercepting Perry's helicopter with a giant robotic arm before his jingle ends.
  • Norm being a brilliant Deadpan Snarker. Even Perry is shocked.
    Doofenshmirtz: I think we made too much potato salad, Norm. I guess we’ll have to give everyone a two-ton take home container and I still think you should have added more green onions.
    Norm:: Well, next time you can do all the cooking and I’ll stand around coming up with evil plans that ultimately fail!
    Doofenshmirtz: [Long awkward pause.] Wow. Cuttin’ deep, man.
  • How Perry disposes of the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. members, even by Agent P standards. He pulls out two huge knives and cuts various heavy objects from the ceiling to drop onto the evildoers below. This is one of the few times Doofenshmirtz is seen hospitalized in the aftermath of his defeat.

    Atlantis 
  • Perry coming back to save Doofenshmirtz from his mutated plants. Using a chainsaw.

    Suddenly Suzy 
  • Ferb tossing a paper-maché boulder straight to the top of the replica Niagara Falls.
    Phineas: You know, even though I know that's paper-maché, that's still an impressive throw.
  • After Doofenshmirtz tricks him into falling out of a blimp, Perry proceeds to pursue and foil Doofenshmirtz using a banana truck, all with a platypus-themed truck-driving song playing on his CD player.

    Undercover Carl 
  • The first time we see Major Monogram goes into the field himself, he goes with a small army.

    Hip Hip Parade 

    Ain't No Kiddie Ride 
  • Ferb saving Candace with Improbable Aiming Skills. To elaborate, Candace is falling down a canyon on a rocket powered by quarters, but she doesn't have any quarters left. Ferb casually parks his rocket on a side of the canyon, catches the attention of a couple of tourists, does a robot routine to earn a quarter, then slingshots said quarter directly into the quarter slot moments before the rocket hits the ground.

    Phineas and Ferb-Busters! 
  • Doofenshmirtz gets a more advanced robot to replace Norm, and a lot of time is spent hyping up how much better it is. However, when hit with a wave of energy, the robot transforms into a Humongous Mecha and decides that it needs to destroy Doofenshmirtz. After it easily flicks Agent P out of the building, it's up to the unaffected Norm to protect Doofenshmirtz. He promptly takes the much larger and more advanced machine down. With a cup of coffee.

    The Lizard Whisperer 

    Robot Rodeo 
  • Doofenshmirtz handily winning the inator competition.
    • Especially how he does it: Rodney spends most of the episode taunting him, so Doof creates an "Eradicate-Rodney's-Inator Inator," which smashes Rodney's electric fan with a giant fist.
  • "Let go of the balloon!"

    The Beak 
  • Phineas and Ferb's solution to having to both rescue Isabella (who is dangling from a building) and prevent a billboard from falling on the crowd below while in their superhero suit. Phineas gets out of the suit to save Isabella as Ferb (who only has control of the suit's lower body) shatters the billboard to little bits by spinning through it using the suit, all the while not breaking their cover to Isabella.
  • Candace gives a rather badass response to Isabella's discovering that Phineas is the Beak.
    Candace: "You just got your 'Uh, dur' patch."

    Phineas and Ferb Hawaiian Vacation 
  • Doofenshmirtz steals Perry's boat and flees the island... only for Major Monogram to pop out of the sand and reveal to the audience that Doofenshmirtz had been set up all along. During the credits, Doofenshmirtz's escape is put to an end when he is eaten by Agent W (a whale).

    Nerds of a Feather 
  • As leaders of two separate fandom groups, Baljeet and Buford spend most of the episode engaging in a rather unhealthy rivalry over whose franchise is the best, until their fighting is interrupted by the sudden appearance of a giant monster (actually a holographic effect). When Buford tries to run away, a strict Baljeet stops him and asks him if Odar Underhump (the character Buford is cosplaying as) would've run away from danger. Buford gets his point, and the two decide to unite their fandom groups to fight against a common enemy - which is exactly what Phineas was hoping they would do.

    We Call it Maze 
  • The project of the day is essentially a live-action cross between Professor Layton and a Zelda temple game. Probably unintentional, but still extremely cool.
  • For one of the puzzles, you have to guess how many jelly beans are in a glass jar. Phineas, Ferb and Baljeet try to solve it mathematically, but Buford simply ate all of the jelly beans and typed in zero. And it worked.
  • Isabella talking to Candace, who has been extremely snotty about getting 50 Fireside Girl Patches in one day:
    Isabella: You know, now that we need to cross, it sure would be nice if we had a grappling hook and some rope.note 
    Candace: Yeah, where are we gonna get- (looks back at where the grappling hook and rope once were)
    (the platform they're standing on starts retracting)
    Isabella: (with a smug smile on her face) Oh, would you look at that?
    Candace: The platform's retracting! What are we gonna do?
    Isabella: You're the one who got 50 Fireside patches in one day.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem! 
  • Doofenshmirtz making his invention capable of defending itself from Perry's attacks was pretty cool. It only fails because he programmed it with his own knowledge about Perry, and thus it falls for a Paper-Thin Disguise.

    The Secret of Success 
  • Doofenshmirtz passively kicking Perry in the face. No big deal is made of it, but it incapacitates Perry effectively.

    The Doof Side of the Moon 

    Brain Drain 
  • Phineas, Ferb, and their friends helping Perry defeat Doofenshmirtz by controlling Perry in perfect sync with one another. (They thought they were playing a video game. It's a long story.)
  • Doof ends up crashing the "junkyard rave" Vanessa and her friends are partying at, and a mishap causes his hands to be glued to the turntables. This stops the music, which pisses off the teens. But then, rather than leave his archnemesis to be humiliated in front of his daughter, Perry slaps the mind control helmet from earlier in the episode on Doofenshmirtz and starts making him... bust out some awesome beats. Hell yeah. Made even better by the fact that Perry left the controls behind about halfway through the song, so Doof was doing it all on his own from there on. The song in question, "There's a Platypus Controlling Me", also qualifies as yet another Awesome Music for this show.

    Rollercoaster: The Musical! 
  • The entire episode. Why? Well, for one, it is the SECOND time they go back to the pilot, cross-reference it and play around with it to hell and back. Second, it consists almost entirely of songs, whereas the original contained none, as if the directors figured "Fuck it, let's fix that." And just to go completely nuts, not only does it at seemingly random either expand or mix up the jokes they repeat from the pilot, but the whole thing ends with a big dance number featuring practically every single character that has ever appeared in the series so far. Had this been the end of the series, it would have possibly been the biggest, most spectacular Disney animated series finale ever, only rivaled by "Summer Belongs To You". And when you think about it, the fact that they can make a special and a regular episode that both feel like perfect ends to the series so soon after another is a Moment of Awesome for the entire creative team.
  • At the start of "Carpe Diem", Phineas hopes the musical wasn't anticlimactic. If anyone thought so at the start of the song, they probably sure didn't by the end of it. The sheer Continuity Porn in "Carpe Diem" makes it one (among many) of those Phineas and Ferb segments you just have to watch over and over again in order to catch all the little details (and for the song as well, of course).
  • The entirety of the rollercoaster ride, accompanied by the song Phineas sings, is downright epic.

    Make Play 
  • Candace gets a minor one:
    Princess Baldegunde: Candace, I need to ask you question, how is pronounced the name of cute blonde boy with guitar?
    Candace: What cute blonde boy?
    Princess Baldegunde: The one with band! Is it Jerr-emy or Jer-mee?
    Candace: It's pronounced "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!"
