* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has a lot of stories where Perry somehow becomes a human, and oh, it also turns out he and Dr. Doofenshmirtz [[FoeYay are both gay]]. Often Dr. D is the one who transforms him in the first place, though usually for ostensibly different reasons. Ironically, there's an episode where Doof turns ''himself'' into a ''platypus'' to fight Perry.

This is, of course, greatly helped by the reveal that Doof and Linda actually did go on at least one date when they were younger.
