** The fact that Phineas and Ferb exist in a [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse universe with Marvel characters]] is this, when one recalls that Marvel Universes are [[CrapsackWorld not pleasant places to live]]. The reasons include, but not limited to, Sentinels; Galactus; Super Villains like the ComicBook/RedSkull (who Phineas and Ferb met), Doctor Doom, Apocalypse, ComicBook/{{Thanos}}, and the Skrulls; great levels of cynicism and of course; the fact that any one of the main characters could end up being mutants later on, bar maybe Candace or Vanessa. Then ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, Sentinels and the Franchise/XMen will end up in a huge slug fest over them as most of their loved ones turn on them for pure FantasticRacism.

* Linda being part of a band making their first album may have something to do with her being Lindana. Keep in mind that she had one hit song, only to ruin it all with a big freakout. It's possible she was hoping to make a new, albiet smaller musical career.

* Much more obvious than the other examples here, but it can still be difficult to catch without a rewatch of the episode. We see that Meap takes a liking to Candace early on, specifically after she proclaims herself as being responsible for busting people doing what they are supposed to do. Naturally, as an Intergalactic Security Agent, that's a concept Meap finds relatable (and he essentially repeats it word for word after he gets the universal translator).

* Major Monogram has to tell Carl twice about his burning spaghetti. Carl doesn't have nostrils, so the first time he couldn't have smelt it. Smell is a key ingredient in emotional responses, the second time he forgot because he couldn't smell it and his mind didn't make it a priority.

* Why did people overreact if their attitude towards the boys' inventions is generally so mellow? Well, the Rollercoaster is one of the few inventions of the boys that is intentionally dangerous-looking.
** Also, if it really was the first rollercoaster, it was their first project and authorities would be more exceptical. But after a while they saw that the inventions were actually safe and cool, so they mellowed.

* When Candace had to babysit Suzy and so she rid the house of every possible weapon, why did she throw out her teddy bear too? Because if Suzy learned Candace slept with a teddy bear she could use that info to blackmail her.

* At first it seems like a continuity error that Candace has only four contacts in this episode, when she had a lot more in "Unfair Science Fair". Then after rewatching "Candace Disconnected", it reveals that Candace has a habit of losing phones. Candace most likely lost the phone she had in "Unfair Science Fair", and hadn't put all of her old contacts in her new phone by the time of "The Lemonade Stand".

* How can Candace dream about Perry and Doof if she doesn't know about Perry's secret identity? Because she ''does'' know about it! Remember, she saw them fight in "The Ballad of Badbeard" when she was tripping out; she assumed it was part of the hallucination, but she still remembers it, at least subconsciously.

* The ending of the episode seems too harsh, since Candace really didn't mean to throw a party. But on second viewing you realize that all the guests initially assumed that ''Phineas and Ferb'' had thrown the party. Candace, as always, couldn't help trying to one-up the boys by insisting that it was ''her'' [[InsistentTerminology intimate get-together]]. If she hadn't kept trying to take credit, the boys would have been blamed instead.

* Doof's newest invention is the 'All-purpose-inator' which does everything his other inators do. This episode also lampshades MadeOfExplodium, with Doof outright asking 'Why does everything explode so easily?' or something of the sort, when his plan literally blows up in his face. The FridgeBrilliance comes in when you realize that, two episodes earlier in 'Phineas' Birthday Clip-o-rama' we were treated to several short montages of all the [[RunningGag running gags]] in the show, usually with one or two NoodleIncident worthy clips thrown in for fun. In the case of Doof's inators, this was the Blow-itself-up-inator. Just ''guess'' why the All-purpose-inator exploded.
* The supercomputers scans Danville, and in seconds, knows exactly how things are gonna go, including his own destruction. We know he could have easily scanned P&F's history, Perry&Doof's history, as well as several other factors. Still, the knowledge seems to be too complete... until you realize that the scanning beam hit the ''fourth wall''. Several times.

* How was Candace not turned into dust when hit by the solar light at the start of the episode if she was really a vampire? Because she was turned into a vampire by the Drusselstein- inator, not by the bat in the cinema. She was hit by this and was not hit by the wave that reverted everything to the normal.

* When Phineas and [[IdenticalGrandson Ferbalot]] are experimenting with their potions, Phineas, at one point, turns himself into a monster called a manticore. He then proceeds to say "A manticore! With a ''lion's'' head!" That last sentence may seem unnecessary at first, since most of his entire body was also that of a lion's, but if you [[GeniusBonus learn a thing or two about mythology]], you would discover that classical Greek manticores had ''human'' heads. So Phineas was actually pointing out this genuine difference from the norm of manticores.

* The worst punishment on Meap's planet being "time outs" explains why it appears that Meap needs to defeat and arrest Mitch over and over again.
* "Meap" not means " Red alert! Red alert! Mitch has the Cutonium and he's on his way there. You must rally the troops and head him off at the evil fortress, this is war." but yes "war".

* Buford [[FlatEarthAtheist refuses to believe]] that aliens created the crop circles around Danville. Phineas, Ferb and Candace have encountered aliens multiple times, Isabella met Meap and Mitch, Baljeet built a portal to Mars, but Buford is the only member of the group who ''hasn't'' interacted with an alien before now.

* At the end of the episode, it's revealed that most of the episode was just a movie made by the boys, that they entered into a film festival and won. Now, according to Doofenshmirtz early in the episode, the age limit to entering the contest is "less than fifteen". Now, fans, can anybody tell me what Phineas and Ferb's actual canon age is? ''Less than fifteen''.

* In some shots in this episode and the movie, you may notice that Candace-2 looks more... feminine than her 1st dimension counterpart. If it isn't just an animation error, then you could argue that it is a way of symbolising how Candace-2 is more mature and grown up than our Candace.

* In "Swiss Family Phineas" Candace talks about how the boys could slingshot them back home. Phineas asks her if he can use that one later. In this episode they do just that and are able to make it home on time.
* In this episode, we witnessed Phineas's out-of-character yell "GET ON THE TRIKE!". Come "Bully Bromance Breakup" however, and we see Phineas/Ferb have issues with not being able to do their projects. With Candace being unreasonable, she was prohibiting them from completing their Big Idea (around the world in one day)... so Phineas briefly snapped as a result, then when they continued onward a second later, he was completely fine.

* When Phineas destroys the Sithinator by dropping his broken lightsaber down the self-destruct port, Doofenshmirtz remarks "I knew I should have ray shielded that!" Knowing now that he was the designer of the Death Star, we must remember that the exhaust port/self-destruct ''was'' ray shielded, which proves useless against a physical object going into it. No matter the project, Door guarantees that his creations will self destruct.

* Why does the Sith-inator turn Ferb into a Darth Maul {{Expy}} rather than the typical Darth Vader Expy? If you harness the power of the Dark Side to become [[BuffySpeak the Sith-est Sith]] out there, Maul is a better choice. Palpatine is physically frail, fragile, and tends to lose the loyalty of his subjects (Maul himself, Vader, and Kylo) while Darth Vader still has love for his son, which by Dark Side standards, is a weakness. By contrast, Maul practically exudes hatred and anger, and he betrays Palpatine's side long before Anakin did. This is why Phineas can't properly get through to Ferb, because he was turned into a copy of someone more angry and hateful than even Vader. Ferb is also established to be a force sensitive, as he senses Perry twice and he and Ben seem to sense each other. Doof meanwhile doesn't seem to have the force in him, if his midichlorian joke is to be believed.
