Dethroning Moment: Phineas And Ferb
Hey, Ferb! I know what we're gonna do today: list down our worst moments!

Keep in mind:
  • Sign your entries
  • One moment per work to a troper, if multiple entries are signed to the same troper the more recent one will be cut.
  • Moments only, no "just everything he said," or "This entire show," or "This entire series" entries.
  • No contesting entries. This is subjective, the entry is their opinion.
  • No natter. As above, anything contesting an entry will be cut, and anything that's just contributing more can be made its own entry.
  • Explain why it's a Dethroning Moment of Suck.
  • No Real Life examples including Executive Meddling. That's just asking for trouble.
  • No ALLCAPS, no bold, and no italics unless it's the title of a work. We are not yelling the DMoSs out loud.

  • Marioking98341: Don't get me wrong. I liked Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. But don't you think Phineas was overreacting to Perry's reveal? Honestly, it would've been more understandable if he hadn't tried to hide his own feats of superheroism from his own love interest.
  • MadMan400096: For me, Professor Ross Eforp's Yank the Dog's Chain moment in "My Fair Goalie" of the regular series. He is forced into hiding when it's found out his name's a palindrome, something the British apparently didn't like at the time in the show's universe. When he finds his dream project's been realized by Phineas and Ferb, he is about to come out of hiding, but people are still against him just because his name is a fucking palindrome. This is Phineas and Ferb, people, not Family Guy!
  • LimeTH The completely mean-spirited visuals of "You're Going Down," where Candace imagines herself throwing Phineas and Ferb chained up in jail and locked in to pillories, preparing to shoot down a hot-air balloon with them in it, the goddamn Hindenburg with their faces on it burning to the ground, and the two of them in the back of a garbage truck.
  • Averyvill Animation: I finally have found a DMOS for Phineas & Ferb. Two words: Ferb! TV! This episode sucked! I did not laugh once in the entire episode. Well, okay, I laughed at Ducky Momo, Candace and Doof's interruption, but that's it. The rest of the episode just felt like a series of rejected Family Guy cutaways that even Seth MacFarlane thought were too stupid, and they were all so boring, forgettable and unfunny. And the worst part was "That's The Norm" with Norm and my least favorite character, Suzy! Suzy gets more screentime than Candace?! Really, guys?! And every time somebody said "Holy Guacamole, You sure are a handful", it made me foam at the mouth. I usually enjoy Phineas & Ferb, but this season has been a disappointment, and this episode was not funny, it was not clever, it was just a series of completely idiotic setpieces. And at the end, I almost felt like my favorite character agreed with me that the episode was crap. You should know better, Dan and Jeff! You should know better!
  • Ajustice Freaking Candace gets Busted! So Linda and Lawrence are going on a trip and they allow Candace to have her friends over a little a bit and when she allows Jeremy's band to come over and play their new song a bunch of people just start showing up and partying for no other reason than music is playing leaving, and while Candace is trying to get them to leave her friends, Phineas and Ferb keep tell Candace that this is great party even though they should tell that this is breaking and entering and not a party, and of course Linda and Lawrence come home when they hear the party over the phone, and when look up for Candace when Doofenshmirtz's inator of the episode makes the teens disappear like one of the boys' inventions they pull reverse switch and Linda and Lawrence bust Candace! God! This episode seem to exist only to torment Candace for the sake of tormenting Candace!
  • Tyrannotitan: I love the show, to the point where I even disagree with a few comments on this page, but while there have been some average episodes, the only one I loathe is "Agent Doof". First, the whole Doof realising he sucks at evil just felt forced, and not funny. I would think that even someone with such little common sense would have realised that fact by now. There wasn't any memorable humour either. I also hated how barely anyone got any decent screen time. Sure, Candace and Doof had an alright amount, but I really wanted to see more of Dr. Diminutive - he was introduced, and in the next scene he appears in, we leave him! My least favourite thing however was the whole babies subplot! Having Phineas and Ferb being turned into infants by the latest inator just felt like such a cliche and unoriginal idea, as I have seen similar plots in other cartoons. Everyone seems to think they are cute, but I found them to be quite annoying. All they did was cause trouble for Candace and act like assholes - I saw them as good-natured and kind children (even at this age), not little brats. In fact, it was so bad that I wanted them to get busted. The ending sucked too, because everyone being turned into babies was even more annoying than just the title characters, and poor Candace has to deal with even more trouble than she already has to (complete with a lame fourth wall joke)!
    • Ms Ami Classified: Seconded, apart from the "wanting to have the boys busted" part. I can't really say I was that frustrated but honestly I still didn't give a (beep) about that part either. Then again, that bit of hate may have just diffused into my reaction to the song of the day. It wasn't that catchy, the singer sounded annoying, the instrumental more so, and I question if they were even trying with the visuals. Or for that matter the entire episode. Ah well, at least this relieves some of the pain, if there's anything good that came out of the ep.
  • Kittens: The "Finding Mary McGuffin" episode was okay and decent. The musical number was good and the ep just a simple finding a childhood toy concept. But what annoyed me was the end where Vanessa discovers the doll being held by a little girl who seems to love it and she sees how much she likes the doll so does she let the little girl keep the doll and move on? Nope! She snatches the doll out of the girls hands and runs off while the kid cries her eyes out. What the heck writers? I understand if Vanessa acts a little evil just to make her dad happy but let her have a good side for once! And the little girl was happy with the doll so why did you have to pull a greedy jerkass move? Can't she just let her keep the doll? Man!.
  • AdamKalb: The Blackout! episode. It had just about 8 minutes of darkness and confusion, even with mysterious characters, from a mysterious green-eyed kid with an eye patch trying to spook everyone because they didn't know if his uncovered eye was his left eye or right eye to these people with jetpacks who gave Heinz mysterious things. Also, Phineas and Ferb seemed to be going too far with making this the best blackout ever when they made that huge dangerous thing( I realized myself that it was just a giant metal box with mechanical hands flopping around out of a barred window) because when Candace was riding it scary stuff was happening to her when there was all of those electrical jolts of energy when we saw those split-second flashes of light. Then the mysterious jetpack squad was strong enough to lift it, and then Heinz the Human got too much from the jetpack squad. Also, if the trap that Perry was in was so escape proof, then how did he even get in and out? At the end, Heinz's big sad eyes don't work on Roger, and he gets possibly killed by the giant metal cage with the mechanical hands that the jetpack squad brought him. In the next episode, Heinz the Human's eyes are normal sized and he is not dead. This episode doesn't even seem canon to me anymore, just like ''That's the Spirit'', ''The Curse Of Candace'' and ''Escape From Phineas Tower''(and the subplot with Perry the Platypus and Heinz the Human from ''It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World'', which had absolutely no effect on Phineas and Ferb's plot at all). Considering how this show is for general audiences and there's been a lot of Continuity Nods, that seems very Out of Character for this show. Not even saying that it's just a cartoon is an excuse. On a minor note, why did they just have Perry already at D.E.Inc. and not show us Major Monogram telling Perry about his mission?
  • TotalDramaRox97: "Quietest Day Ever": Doofenshmirtz makes himself handsome by accident and ends up achieving his goal of ruling the Tri-State Area because of it. Just as Doofenshmirtz is about to become leader, Perry makes him ugly again. Once Perry turns him ugly again, everyone just immediately brushes him off and ruins his plans, again. What's the lesson this episode teaches us? You can only achieve your goals by looking good and not looking good means your goals have no hope of happening. Great lesson.
