For Your Ice Only

• The way they revealed that Stacy and Ginger were sisters: a not-so-friendly argument over who gets to use the computer.
• Baljeet's comment on why there isn't a Y-8 sport (because there's football X-7 and hockey Z-9). According to Phineas, "We're saving that for croquet!"
• Candace reports a "Code Teal" to Stacy, then realizes that's "swarm of locusts" and explains she meant "Code Periwinkle" ("hockey emergency").
• Linda trying to get a disposable camera.
• The giant demon zamboni that destroys the hockey Z9 rink.
  • And its poor driver:
    Driver: "Mr. Stevens! I'm having trouble with the equipment!"
• Candace repeating everything that Stacy was telling Ginger.
• Lawrence sliding into a snowbank in the backyard.
• This line:
  Doofenshmirtz: Something's not right in the hinterland.
• The Call-Back to Isabella's ability to speak in an unnaturally deep voice, complete with cheerful 'Thanks, Dink!' Made even funnier because this time you can't see it's Isabella at first, so you're only able to tell when she says "Hockey Z-9".
• The one guy in the crowd who comments that he's not cold because he has a blanket.
• A strategically placed Genius Bonus: As the song ends, the singers exit, pursued by a bear.

Happy New Year!

• Norm constantly repeating "Happy new year!", even before the New Year has started.
• During the song, there is a scene of Doofenshirtz and Perry dancing.
  • Likewise, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella and the Fireside Girls doing Oppa Gangnam Style.
• Monogram and Carl on a sunny beach while Perry is stuck in his lair, which is freezing.
  • And the short-range Call-Back to "For Your Ice Only that sets it up.
• "And Internet-land is not a real place!"
• This part:
  Isabella: And of course there's the other tradition of kissing someone special at midnight.
  Phineas: [looks flirtatiously] Well I know what we're going to do tonight.
  Isabella: REALLY?!
  Phineas: YEAH! We're going to make our own New Year's ball and drop it from outer space!
  Vivian: Your mother is right, Phineas, you have such an active imagination!
  Isabella: Not active enough...
• The lady who was eating a sandwich in the bathroom for no apparent reason then her New Years resolution.
• Candace trying to repress her busting urge, and slipping into small little tangents about what Phineas and Ferb normally do.
• After a woman sees Phineas & Ferb's giant mirror ball, and comments they'd be busted if they were her children, Candace says "Adopt me please!"
• At midnight, Doofenshmirtz activates his Resolution-Changer-inator so the crowd can follow him as leader. However, no one follows him after his first order. He then asks why they aren't following their resolution, but a man tells him that no one keeps their New Year's resolution anyway. Perry knew this all along too, as usual. Doofenschmirtz doesn't really mind it and happily received the nosemaker from him.

Fly On the Wall

• Phineas asks what summer is really all about. Isabella, Baljeet and Buford start singing the song "Summer (Where Do We Begin)".
  Phineas: Yeah, yeah, we all know the song... but I'm not exactly sure how...
  • This is Fridge Brilliance at its finest. At first, you're enjoying the song, and then you realize their minds were wiped. Phineas proceeds to say the quote above, and you laugh. And then you realize that not only were Isabella, Baljeet, and Buford not present for that song, they're singing the opening lyrics from the album version, which were never heard in the actual movie.
  • The kicker is that Perry's eyes are wide open when Phineas says he remembers the song. He was probably worried Phineas was starting to remember that day, but quickly calms down.
• Major Monogram tells Agent P that Doof is at the shark, but Carl informs him that it was an Acquired Error at the Printer. He's at the "park" not the "shark", which Monogram comments is way lower on his "heebie-jeebies scale". After Agent P leaves for his mission, we get this exchange.
  Carl: You have a heebie-jeebies scale, sir?
  Monogram: Yeah. You're on it.
• Doofenshmirtz lamenting on his lackluster scheme, and then lampshading the length of the summer.
• The ending, when Candace realized she wasn't going to a rodeo but a fancy restaurant.
  Waiter: May I take your order, partner?
  • When Candace, embarrassed, asks if it might possibly be "Dress as a Cowboy, Get Dinner Free" Night, the waiter comments that no, that's Tuesday.
• Candace's encounter with a fly that had been zapped with a "human-head-inator".
• Buford hitting the Fly button on the tire swing, causing it to go up and eventually fall down and crush Perry and Heinz's -Inator.
  • The base of the swing ends up making it all the way to space, passing by two astronauts in a shuttle. One of them gives us this gem:
    Astronaut: Whoa, that's weird— we're in a space shuttle and the shuttle program ended years ago!
  • Doofenshmirtz's reaction to his self-proclaimed best -inator ever being crushed: "Well, like my Uncle Boris used to say: 'When life's going well, a giant tire comes along and smashes your -inator.' We all thought he was crazy at the time, but now he seems rather prophetic."
• When Buford is playing with the control panel to turn Candace back, she ends up shifted into various incorrect shapes, including the Inexplicable Giant Floating Baby Head, and they end up passing by her proper form and having to "go back two."
• As soon as Candace realizes she's a fly, she gives this apropos variation on her catchphrase:
  Candace: Phineas and Ferb, you are so buzzzzzzzzzzzted!
• The fateful sorbet machine from this episode would become something of a fixture for the rest of the show's run, such as being modified to turn people into bees or opening portals to alternate realities.

Bully Bust

• Doofenshmirtz on coffee.
  • Which included, him designing an overly complicated trap based off of the Mousetrap-esque board game.
  • His latest bizarrely named -inator (the Luffaplex Dill-Pickle Inator) that has nothing to do with its purpose (which makes things float up into the atmosphere).
  • And his Anvil on Head moment: he bounces up into the anvil face-first and falls to the ground; gravity then pulls the anvil down, with predictable results.
• Buford blocking the green beams of light with other objects, including himself.
• Buford's attempts to sing a new musical number about his family's daily habits, including setting alarm clocks, being prepared for every eventuality, keeping things in place long enough for other peoples moms, and what to do if you don't succeed on the first try.
• TUFF SHOO LAYSIZZ!

My Sweet Ride

• Carl shows a dark side after he finds out that Vanessa Doofenshmirtz is Monty's date.
  Monogram: Carl, What do you see?
  Carl: Someone who owes me big time! (His face of satisfaction is priceless).
• Perry bringing in a bazooka to destroy Doofenshmirtz's front door.
  • It's just as funny when Doofenshmirtz refuses to let Perry in, while Vanessa points out that he'd just destroy the door anyway.
  • After Vanessa lets him in, Perry calmly puts the bazooka on the floor. Naturally, it goes off and blows a hole into Doof's walls.
• Some of the "hip" dialogue, with one example being Monogram's "See you later, crocodile!"
• When Doofenshirmtz drives his restored custom car out of the building, instead of going through the garage he drives right through the door next to it.
• When a sleeping Lawrence rolls through an intersection, Doof drives through at the same time:
  Doof: "Out of my way, luge boy!"
• Phineas's reaction to Ferb's model of the car (which flies off and explodes):
  Phineas: "Wow! Candace is gonna love that! Except for the exploding part. We should probably fix that."

Der Kinderlumper

• The Running of the Chinchillas... for once this isn't one of Phineas and Ferb's projects, it is in fact a real event between Danville and some other town.
  • There is also a blink and you miss it shot of Ferb screaming when the chinchillas become large. It's just funny to see him make such a facial expression in the first place.
• The reveal that Der Kinderlumper was told in different ways to Roger and Doof.
  Roger: Funny, I never thought of the Kinderlumper as such a crybaby.
• "LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU -- Never stand on a big cartoony 'X'."
• When Mike notices the chinchillas running by:
  Mike: Call in Chopper 4! This is the biggest story of my career! Let's get some!
  Cameraman: Oh, why did I ever opt for work release?

Sidetracked

• Agent Lyla's antics. Especially when she and Perry defeat Doofenshmirtz's "social convention" trap by eating his fries.
• All the Canadian stereotypes, especially those listed by Bannister when he reveals he's from Greenland.
  Bannister: You think that just because I'm polite, smell like pine needles, and overemphasize my T's, I'm Canadian?
  • And his laments about Greenland's national pride... and national anthem:
  Bannister: Greenland's national anthem. Seriously, does that inspire you to do anything other than ice fish? But Canada! Oh, they've got it all: the maple syrup, the national parks, the medal-winning curling team... and the moose.
  • The end credits where Major Monogram apologizes for the wisecracks made at Greenland at the end.
• When they end up on the top of the train:
  Doofenshmirtz: You knew we'd end up here eventually, right?
• Perry's lair entrance of the week, a tree that accidentally wrecks someone's car.
• Doofenshmirtz throwing a guy out of the train... that's not the funny part, the funny part is that the guy safely rolled all the way home, and through a fence, and a playground.
• Phineas noting halfway through the episode that Perry is gone.
• The whole deal made out of the American and Canadian sides of the train.
• The entirety of the helicopter fight, but especially the part where the singer/narrator gets sidetracked by the idea of two helicopters fighting. And then the song cuts away to two rubberhose animation helicopters boxing.
  Singer: ...No, that looked better in my head!
• Doofenshmirtz just happening to avoid several obstacles while bending down to tie his shoelaces on top of the train. Then he falls into an open skylight and lands in a toilet because "Some joker left the seat up!"
• During the opening sequence, Perry is contacted by Monogram and Carl, whose video images show up on two small mirrors that come out of the rearview mirrors on Perry's motorbike. When Monogram berates Carl, his mirror physically shoves Carl's away.
• Bannister's method of pulling off Doof's scheme: He just switches on Doof's inator and walks away. Said inator, the cloud-magnetizinator, is then revealed to have caused a cloud to carry off Phineas and Ferb's metallic superstructure offscreen at some point.
• In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, it's shown that Perry signs his text messages with ASCII Art of a platypus.
  #[ ]">

Primal Perry

• Doof is unable to recognize Perry without a hat again, and spends a good chunk of the episode thinking that hatless Perry is "Steven the Platypus".
• The sub-plot involving Baljeet making as many choices as he wishes without being affected by the consequences as a whole was pretty funny.
  • Also the joke involving the first Baljeet clone getting hit by a truck because he got strawberry ice-cream.
• Monogram and Carl spending the whole episode inside of the house's vents, Carl even leaves at one point only to bring back his cousin.
• The Platypus hunter having named all of his boomerangs, even Doofenshmirtz finds this weird.
  • Crosses over with Heartwarming Moments: Dan and Swampy have gone on record that all of the boomerangs are named after die-hard fans of the show.
• Lawrence being entirely unperturbed at the swarm of Baljeets.
• Candace's failed attempts to show Linda the Baljeet clones.
• Doofenshmirtz wondering during the cliffhanger why it's considered a cliffhanger despite him and Perry not hanging off anything.
• The picture that Major Monogram showed Perry at the beginning of the episode, it's of aliens meeting a dragon. The kicker is that Monogram was more focused on the really tiny spelling of 'Doof' in clouds.
• The mob of Baljeets ganging up on Bufford. The way Phineas, Ferb, and Isabella just back away and leave Bufford to his fate makes it even better.
  Phineas: Huh, so that's what comeuppance looks like.

Mind Share

• The entire Shawshank parody. Especially Red's over-the-top narrating and "that's the length of"... examples.
  Red: Well, it was still 500 yards. That's the length of two volleyball courts, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, a large three-drawer filing cabinet, three French-
  Buford: We're not listening anymore!
  Red: Oh. Okay, then.
  • Buford saying that every prison has a "Guy Who Knows how to Get Things." Bakker wonders how he knows what every prison has.
• Meap's Wolfman Jack-inspired translation sideburns.
• "Climb on up that platform thing!"
• The alien criminals' weakness to Square Dance music.
• The conversation between Phineas and Candace.
  Phineas: It's me, Candace. Phineas! Outer-space alien super-crooks from a planet of frogs and reptiles have taken over our bodies.
  Candace (completely straight-faced): Okay. What do you want me to do?
  Phineas: Really? You believe that weird story just like that?
  Candace (still completely straight-faced): Yeah. It's been a long summer, kid. What do you need?
• Doofenshmirtz tells Perry to sit with the other wingmen, which appear to be a group of fighter pilots making hand signals.
• Doofenshmirtz misinterpreting Perry's signals.
  Doofenshmirtz: Oh, well let's see. (Perry rubs his stomach.) We can rub our stomachs and, (Perry points to his mouth) point to our mouths, and later we can roll our eyes, and put our heads in our hand.
• The Tag, where Doofenshmirtz's boots force him to do a "Shake Your Body" dance, disgusting his date.

Backyard Hodge Podge

• The subplot involving Lawrence having to give a speech about an ancient tribe called the Ornithorhynchans. It gets to the point where he even dresses up◊ as one! He later sprains his elbow and has an arm in a sling. This is later commented on at the end by two familiar looking audience members.
  Jeff: Why is his arm in a sling?
  Dan: That's what bothers you about this?
• The running gag involving people talking about Perry but instead getting Parry Gripp's attention.
• Doof and Perry trying to fight each other while blind.
• Linda hallucinating about singing pies.
  • The whole sequence starts with Linda mistaking a loaf of bread for Perry the Platypus, just as she says that she's been up so late she's starting to see things, the loaf of bread suddenly busts out a top hat, cane, and pair of fancy shoes and starts a high kicking dance as ridiculous music starts playing. As soon as the music stops and Linda turns her attention to the pies:
    First pie: 3.141592
    Second pie: 3.141592
    Third pie: 3.141592
    All three pies: Piiiiiiii~!
    • Note that the pies do this in perfect three-part harmony. Linda simply has a straight faced deadpan look as she sees this, then calls Candace because if she's seeing things like that, she's way too tired.
• While the invention is being constructed, Phineas decides to shrink a parachute to use as a sweatshirt, and enlarge a sweatshirt to use as a parachute.
• When she needs to get out of listening to her dad's speech, Candace uses the excuse that a bunch of friends asked her to build a human pyramid with them. The ridiculousness of the excuse and her delivery make it sound like a classic case of I Need to Go Iron My Dog but the next time we see her, she's part of a human pyramid.

Bee Day

• The Once an Episode song is perfectly upbeat, catchy, harmonious...and ends Letting the Air out of the Band on a B-flat with an F-sharp bass. The sour-sounding ending of the song comes right out nowhere, and it's immediately followed by a kid asking his mother why they do that every year. His mother just tells him not to question it.
• Perry's lair entrance has him still wearing his bee antennae from the Bee Day festival. The "Agent P" singers sing, "Agent Beeeeeeeeee!", then one of them clears her throat as Perry puts on his fedora and they sing "P!"
• Welcome back to Phineasland, where Phineas has long hair flowing in the wind and a puffy shirt, while standing on a rock on the beach. What has been Isabella reading to think this up?
• Emo Candace. All of it.
  • And Linda's completely unconcerned reaction:
    Linda: Sweetie, I went through a similar phase when I was your age. Try writing some poems.
    Candace: Whatever. I don't care. No one gets me! Except my hair!
    Linda: That's my girl!
• Doofenshmirtz setting off the self-destruct button in his underwear.
  Doofenshmirtz: Alright, that, uh... that was not pleasant.
  • Pretty much the fact that Doofenshmirtz puts self-destruct buttons on everything, including his underwear.
• It turns out that Charlene broke up with Doofenshmirtz because of an ugly-looking tomato hand puppet.
  Charlene: Suddenly I can't remember why we broke up...
  Doofenshmirtz: (pulls out the hand puppet) You said you hated Mr. Tomato.
  Mr. Tomato: Hello, Charlene.
  Charlene: Oh, hello, Mr. Tomato. Thanks for the reminder. I'm outta here.
  Mr. Tomato (to Doof): You know, it wasn't me she didn't like.
  Doofenshmirtz: Shut up!
  • What makes it extra funny is Mr. Tomato's smooth, suave voice, which is quite unlike Doofenshmirtz's high, raspy voice.

Bee Story

• Isabella gives Bluto's speech from Animal House. And it is amazing.
  • Holly makes a Call-Back to the time when Candace got 50 patches, though she points out that she technically got 49 - she only got 50 because of a world record patch.
• Adyson suggesting that the Fireside Girls should get stung by radioactive bees so they can communicate with bees and get their beekeeping patches.
  Holly: Um, we don't have access to radioactive bees.
  Ginger: Yeah, that's what's wrong with that plan.
  • Earlier in the same scene:
  Gretchen: "In the guideline for the beekeeping patch, it says that a good beekeeper tries to think like a bee."
  Katie: "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz."
• Poofenplotz being rejected by L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N., and then referring to it as a "boys' club".
• The fact that Poofenplotz's plan made no logical sense at all, making her look as competent as Doof. To elaborate: bee larvae who eat royal jelly grow up to be queen bees. Therefore, if Poofenplotz eats enough royal jelly she will grow 40 times larger, live 40x longer, become queen of the world, and grow a huge grotesque abdomen for laying eggs...but she can live with that.
  • Pinky's Brain Bleach reaction to that mental image
  • Poofenplotz channeling...Galadriel. That is all.
• Phineas asks Isabella if she wants honey with her iced tea, though the way he said it made Isabella think he was calling her honey.
• It is revealed that Admiral Acronym has an intern named Carla, who not only looks like Carl but even comes from an "entire family of unpaid interns".
• Poofenplotz's rejection letter from L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.:
  Dear Esmeralda Poofenplotz,
  We regret to you that your application for membership has been denied. Based on your past schemes, we have deemed that you're not even close to our standard for admission.
  Feel free to re-apply after you've come up with something really evil. At the very least, get yourself a decent lab coat.
  Sincerely,
  Heinz Doofenshmirtz
  • And how come Doof is signing L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. documents anyway?
    • To demonstrate that Even Evil Has Standards.
• Poofenplotz: "I don't believe it! Fortune is smiling on me like the creepy guy on the corner of third and main!"

Great Balls of Water

• The part where we view Candace's mind, especially when we see a third Candace who is completely bonkers.
• Doof's whole double negative plot was pretty funny too.
• Loop-de-loop Street.
  Guy: (falling from his house on the top of the loop to the ground) At least it's rent-controoooooolled!! (crash) I'm Okay!
• Lampshading galore, even by the standards of this show, including both Doofenshmirtz and Linda giving summaries of typical daily events (from their point of view).
  • Doof gets one particular gem: "Oh, now it's stuck in random fire mode! Why would I even put that mode on there?!"
• Candace talking the Jeremy and once again trying to appear cool and immediately undermining herself:
  Candace: "Not that I play with dolls. I just have a few on my shelf next to my unicorn." (Face Palm).

Where's Pinky?

• Pinky is revealed to be good with computers - well, grabbing them and smashing them on people as a weapon, anyway.
• The tour guide who would not let anyone leave.
  • His lampshading that musical numbers are characteristic of Danville, which of course leads into one. As it turns out, it's the only part of the tour the visitors find enjoyable.
  • The fact that the planet Venus is apparently Danville's Director of Regional Marketing.
  • "And that's why the Captial Building was moved here from Sri Lanka on the backs of Seven Sea Turtles"
  • "I am the ruler of the Tri-State Area!"
• When Doof is invisible and in front of an elevator button, a man unknowingly pokes him.
• Buford under the influence of Phineas and Ferb's machine.
• Buford and Monogram asking for rimshots after they crack jokes.
• Gretchen giving a talk on zombie invasions.
• Doof's first guess at a security password is "Reindeer Flotilla"... and it turns out that was actually the correct password!
• Everyone assuming Pinky is Perry's pet dog.

Knot My Problem

• "Back in the days when men wore mini-skirts..."
• The ending, where Candace suddenly becomes very hungry due to Doof's inator and devours the entire knot (made of licorice). And Buford's response?
  Buford: I'm so in love with her right now.
  Baljeet: What?
  Buford: Nothin'.
• The Who's on First? that ensues from the confusion between "not" and "knot".
• Perry having to dig his own lair entrance.
• Doofenshmirtz rejecting advice on how easily to use his inator for monetary gain in favor of his own Zany Scheme.

Just Desserts

• Doof and Perry, on a sugar rush, as jumping buddies.
• This dialogue, after Candace has worn out her voice recording the audio version of the Fireside Girls Compendium Guide:
  Irving: Umm... I'd like you to do one more take on that last chapter.
  Candace: I'd like to hurt you.
  Irving: That's a wrap!
• Lawrence talking about British stereotypes.
• The dedication to the Fireside Girls Compendium Guide.
• Though this episode wasn't paired with "Knot My Problem", it aired right after it in its debut. At the beginning of the episode, Baljeet wonders if they will be forced to eat the climbing wall (which is made out of organic material), as though it was a Call-Back to Candace eating the Gordian knot in "Knot My Problem".

La Candace-Cabra

• "You are so busted... for something!"
• Monogram declaring humans as the superior species, only to receive growls from the OWCA agents. Perry included.
• Phineas declares the chupacabra to be a myth, comparing it to the Klimpaloon and the Lake Nose Monster, both of with have appeared in the show.
• Doofenshmirtz traps Perry over a shark tank, but Perry gets out and stands in front of Doof. He then uses his inator to switch Perry's places with the shark.
• Doof and Perry's fight on a plane. Offscreen, we hear the two fighting. Onscreen, we see the two engage in father-son bonding activities, like fishing and Doof teaching Perry how to ride a trike. The amazed look on Perry's face as he rides the trike on his own is what sells it.
  Doofenshmirtz: (After Perry blows out the candles) What did you wish for? (Shows the two fighting again, with Perry punching Doof in the face) Ow! Really!? That's what you wished for!?
• Doofenshmirtz's name for his hair growth product, and obliviousness as to why "Get Back Hair" isn't selling.
• Candace can sense when the boys' invention is judging her.
• Stacy: So, since you're in "busting" mode, I take it my services are no longer required. (Beat, Stacy begins to leave) Yep, I'm superfluous.
• The reveal that the dreaded Chupacabra is an OWCA agent is pretty hilarious.

Happy Birthday, Isabella

• Part of Stacy's reasoning when convincing Perry not to wipe her memory: she's only 10 minutes away from finishing a scary horror movie, and doesn't want to have to watch the whole thing again.
• Buford using a bag to transport Isabella when she is trying to assert her desire to be with Phineas, and expressing her frustration towards Baljeet.
  Isabella: *Gestures to bag* All I want for my birthday is some alone time with - never mind. *Walks off*
  Baljeet: You wanted to be alone with this bag?
• At the start of the episode, Stacy immediately realizes that Candace would be focused on busting, so she just immediately leaves her to watch a horror movie on her own.
• Doof lampshading how he always gets called a pharmacist just because of his lab coat.
  Doofenshmirtz: Really? Really? W-why does everyone just stampede to that conclusion? Other people wear lab coats you know. Why, why don't you say, "Oh look a rocket scientist." Or a veterinarian?
  Stacy: Are you a veterinarian?
  Doofenshmirtz: No... but that's not the point.
• Milly calling the Big Idea a "grand and glorious and potentially bustable gift".
• Buford putting Isabella back in the sack to carry her about two feet.
• After Isabella blows out the candles on the giant cake and confetti shoots out:
  Phineas: So. Did you get what you wish for?
  Isabella: Uh...
  Buford: Yeah. It's every girl's wish to have her backyard covered in litter.
• When Holly asks Candace what she is doing with her phone out:
  Holly: What are you doing?
  Candace: Waiting for things to get dangerous so I can call my mom to come bust the boys.
  Holly: (referring to the giant birthday cake shooting confetti) That's not dangerous?
  Candace: Dude, this is nothing. It'll get worse.
• The Lyrical Dissonance of Isabella's song; it's supposed to be about how she wants to spend some time with Phineas, but all the activities she mentions doing involves stuff like being trapped under rubble, moving a piano or getting braces in a subway car.
• The Credits Gag set the next day, with Candace overlooking the backyard when Phineas asks, "Where's Perry?"
  Candace: Where do you think Perry goes every day, Stace?
  Stacy: How do I know? Why are you asking me? How should I know? Uh, don't look at me!
  Candace: (Beat) Eh, I don't know why I was asking you.
  Stacy: (voiceover) Whoo! No one suspects a thing.
• This exchange at Isabella's birthday party:
  Phineas: Check it out! We made your favorite: a red velvet cake - with a little surprise...
  Baljeet: Oh, I hope they do not have a male dancer popping out of it.
  Buford: They asked, but they couldn't afford me.

Love at First Byte

• The ending, where Linda finally busts Phineas and Ferb... for not cleaning up towels. Even funnier, Candace isn't satisfied with this and thinks Linda is making fun of her.
• When Candace learns that Linda asked Phineas and Ferb to make the lightshow for the party, she becomes catatonic and depressed for the majority of the episode.
• Perry being disguised as a balloon animal... the balloon animal in question being himself.

One Good Turn

• The original dance of contrition, which included, among other things:
  • Placing chickens on your head.
  • Eating a feather bed.
  • Putting a jelly donut in your pants and dancing.
  • Writing a letter to a chimpanzee.
  • Painting a portrait underwater. (which is rather good despite it being underwater)
  • Moving to France and refusing to speak French. (which the singer is especially adamant about not doing)
  • Pulling your shirt over your head.
  • Jumping into a lake while wearing a dress.
  • Running in circles in a chicken... field thing while clucking.
  • Eating corn in a mud pit with pigs.
  • Juggling piglets with an angry cook.
  • And finally (somehow) splitting an atom in a breakfast nook. (complete with a Do Not Try This at Home subtitle)
• The fact that the dance of contrition was updated from the 40s into something that wasn't embarrassing, making Doof's plan pointless.
• Monogram's brief Major General Song.
• Perry's Raiders of the Lost Ark inspired entrance involving a map room of Danville. He uses a magnifying glass to open a door to his lair. The map then bursts into flames, forcing him to run for a fire extinguisher.
• Ginger and Stacey's exchange at the start of the obstacle course: Ginger smiles and waves, Stacey glares and gives her an 'I'm watching you' gesture:
  Isabella: "What was that all about?"
  Ginger: "Oh, that's our secret sign for 'I love you, Sis.'" (beat) "I think."

Thanks But No Thanks

• Perry showing Doof that he could just ask his neighbor to stop playing bagpipes instead of having an entire scheme involving it.
  • Followed by Perry tipping the inflated Doof off of the building. The little wave he gives him sells it.
• Monty and Carl having to set up a near-death experience for Major Monogram just to get him to thank Carl. And even after that, Monty still has to forcibly remind Major Monogram to do so.
• This dialogue:
  Monty: Alright, Carl, I get it, what do you want?
  Carl': I want your father to disown you, and adopt me.
  Monty: Okay, what do you want within reason?

Troy Story

• The premise of the episode involves Phineas and Ferb recreating the Trojan war in their style, yet the characters' ultimately take their artistic license way too far, resulting in bagpipes, rock music, Trojan platypuses, Trojan dinosaurs and flying chariots with lasers.
  • BAGPIPE SOLO!!!
  • Irving waits a little too long to contribute to the song, practically saying "Darn, that's the end."
• When Phineas states he will play Paris, Isabella immediately gets overexcited and declares that she will play Helen. The best part is that she wraps her arm around Phineas, only for the both of them to feel awkward immediately afterwards.
• The end credits for this episode are some of the funniest in a while, where Candace goes to a book club with her friends, and explains the Iliad through how Phineas and Ferb did it because she found the book too boring. Jeremy immediately realises the truth, though he points out nobody else likely read it either.
  Stacy: I just come to book club for the tea.
• Buford has Irving climb into the Trojan platypus. He then steps on it with a Trojan T-Rex.
  Irving: "Why'd you even make me get in here?!"

• MM and Carl both dressing up like Carmen Miranda.
• At one point Doof asks Perry to take off his secret agent hat and put on his adventure hat. Perry then takes his hat off and puts it back on again.
• Candace arriving at the party and having a short conversation with Vanessa about how they both dressed as a vampire queen, Candace lampshading how unlikely it was, with Stacy choosing that moment to walk up, wearing the exact same outfit, then deciding to change.
  • Stacy then wears a Scarlet Pimpernel costume, only to realise most of the teenage boys are wearing it. They really need to restock the costume shops.
    • Luckily Vanessa gets her to take advantage of this when Monogram spots Vanessa dancing with Monty.
  • Perhaps it's because the existence of a song specifically written for couples dressed up as Vampire Queens and Scarlet Pimpernels.
• Isabella, dressed as Cinderella, attempted to throw more hints at Phineas by "losing" a slipper by throwing it away.
  • Of course, it doesn't work, and Isabella has to fish her shoe out of the punch bowl.

  Isabella: "You don't want to drink that."
• The logical conclusion of Monty's swashbuckling window exit.
• Doof's interpretation of one kid's Harry Potter costume:
  Doof: "Alright, class dunce with a fake scar."

Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror

• Candace knocking down furniture to stop Ducky Momo, only for him to just walk around it.
• Doofenshmirtz wastes his second wish on gaining control over "cheese and crackers!", which he shouts after Perry drops a bookshelf on his foot. Perry struggles with the cheeses for a while, but then turns the tables by shredding one and eating his way out.
  Doof: "I don't know how I forgot cheese was edible."
• For his last wish, Doof tries to be careful with the wording... only to botch it up by wishing he was "the head of the Tri-State Area", and he is turned into a giant floating head.

• The Call-Back to "Unfair Science Fair Redux (Another Story)".
• Doofenshmirtz trying to genetically modify a mouse so it can fly, only to get bitten and decide that he should just use a bat instead.

  • As the giant bat chases him around his apartment:
  Doofenshmirtz: Scram, you flying gerbil!

  Painter: (Having just finished painting "Danville Space Labrador") LABORATORY?! DOH! JS... DAAH!
• Norm's introduction:
  Norm: "I found your radio, sir! It was embedded in your car's dashboard."
  • His attempts to get rid of Derek involve hitting him with the radio, then the crowbar he's holding (which Doofenshmirtz stopping him by saying it's imitatable.)

Cheers for Fears

• Doof's fear that becomes real turns out to be a group of vending machines who want to take over.
• When Buford says his grandma smells like flowers, Phineas refers back to the time he said that his grandma('s house, but whatever because she probably smells like the house) smelt like ant pheromones. Buford then proceeds to say that it was his other grandma who smells like ant pheromones.

Steampunx

• The Running Gag of 1903 Doofenshmirtz's proclamations being obscured by the noise of his machine.
  • In particular the silent movie sequence featuring this gag was hilarious.
• The nod to Horse in a Bookcase.
• Steampunk Doof recognizing how Swerry the Swan sounds like "swearing" after he calls him foul-mouthed.
• Candace actually calling Phineas and Ferb steampunks when trying to bust them.
• When Phineas asks what else they should do that day, Isabella suggests that they formally begin courting.
• Pneumatic Pnorman apparently has trouble telling objects apart, so instead of finding Doof's World's Fair coin, he comes back with Vanessa. When Doof tells him that's his daughter not a coin, he replies "no wonder she didn't fit in the gumball machine." Her expression is hilariously resigned and completely unimpressed.

Just Our Luck

• Danny Jacob playing the background music.
• Perry sleeping for most of his time at Doofenshmirtz's.
• Norm acting as a watchdog.

• Phineas and Ferb's invention being literally swallowed up by the Earth.
• The reveal that Doofenshmirtz had had an actual encounter with a genie, explaining his previous ramblings about Jerkass Genies
  • Not only that, but the fact that he inadvertently wished he was an Oscar Meyer weiner!
• Ferb's Delayed Reaction to the hammer hitting his foot.

• Once Doofenshmirtz's luck turns back to normal, he notes that at least he still has a truck full of canned almond brittle, opens a can but has snakes fly out instead, and notes that he really shouldn't accept canned confectionery from clowns.

Return Policy

• Phineas disagreeing with Isabella's enthusiastic commentary.
• Doofenshmirtz's inator returning his money in pennies.
• Monogram having to get used to having two separate eyebrows.
• "It's a normal bodily function, Jeremy. Get over it."
• Buford physically interacting with the numbers Baljeet visualizes above his head.
• When Linda invites Candace to come to the store with her.
  Candace: "But someone has to be home to bust the boys!"
  Linda: "They're playing baseball. It's not exactly a criminal offense."
  Candace: "Oh, it will be! It will be!"

Live and Let Drive

• Monogram starting to tell Perry Doofenshmirtz's plan, only to remember that Doof must have already monologued it to Perry.
• The shark turning out to be an O.W.C.A. agent.
• Candace completely missing out on Phineas and Ferb's project, which occurs entirely in the background.
• The announcers dismissing the possibility of Doofenshmirtz playing foul because "that only happens in cartoons".
• The severe number of James Bond references in this episode.
• When Doof gave Perry "the works", he threw everything at him...Kitchen Sink Included!
• The announcers many attempts and subsequent manglings of Doofenshmirtz's last name.

Father's Day

• Doofenshmirtz uses a cannon to shoot Perry and himself to Drusselstein, but instead of getting them there directly he reveals that he had to position multiple cannons around the world for the method to work (and even then they miss a connecting cannon at least once).
• Perry's entrance is a playground slide, initially suggesting that he will slide down into his lair. Instead, he climbs to the top and it lifts off into the air where Monogram briefs him. He only uses the slide once it has taken him to Doofenshmirtz's building.
• Monogram's Father's Day gift... from Carl.
  Monogram: Yes, it's a lovely tie, but I'm not your father!

Imperfect Storm

• Candace misinterpreting "Du Bois", as "the boys" when talking to Linda, which leads her to think that Phineas and Ferb actually got busted when Linda mentions that the Du Bois landscape artists are making her frustrated.
• Pierre constantly misinterpreting Floraine, and the latter's reveal that he is actually capable of speaking English.
• Candace's musical number appears to end... but the next time the episode cuts back to her, she is still singing it.
• As the kids' giant kites get caught up in the storm, Buford (riding a pirate themed kite) hands over his hat to Baljeet.
  Buford: Just remember, Baljeet, a captain always goes down with the ship. (jumps down)

• Isabella's initial reaction to Phineas suggesting that they take the puppet show up to the next level.
• Doofenshmirtz trying to go down a miniature up escalator.
• Monogram and Carl show up at the end wearing disguises to retrieve Dennis, sparking a small debate among Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and Stacy about how suspicious-looking the two are.
• Phineas delivering the "aren't you a little young" line for once (to a baby-faced truck driver).
• A good portion of the "Giant Puppet" song is a Literal Music Video.
• Isabella's puppet show is a parody of The Godfather, and she even gives the "Denmother" character a Brando voice.
• After Norm says that Dennis looks so cute and soft, Doof makes a reference to Of Mice and Men by calling Norm "Lennie".
• While Doof is watching the fight between Perry and Dennis:
  Doofenshmirtz: "You see, I installed a bunch nano-bot cameras on his backpack."
  Norm: "Who installed them?"
  Doofenshmirtz: "It was my idea!"

It's No Picnic

• The options on Doof's Teleport-inator:
  • Home
  • Random
  • Ice cream shoppe
  • The friend zone
  • Inside a goat
  • Easter Island
  • Lair
  • Wonderland
  • Lotsmo Emporium
  • Dungeon
  • Closet
  • My lair
  • Dry cleaners
  • Crocodile nest
  • Niki's office
  • My pants
  • Mars
  • 2 streets away
  • Turkish prison
• Vanessa getting transported into theater, the funny part being that she got transported into a Ducky Momo movie... with Candace sitting a few seat from her singing along with the kids in the theater to the Ducky Momo theme.
• "And now, to send my daughter to the movies!" *Scare Chord*
  • It turns out that the same quartet who sing Doof's evil jingle also provide some of his dramatic musical stings.
• Isabella getting overexcited when it's just her and Phineas. She even has to slap herself to get her to calm down!
  • Meanwhile, Phineas doesn't react at all.
• When Irving is watching Isabella and Phineas' picnic, the Fireside Girls put him into a bag and take him to their base of operations. What's the first thing he does? Trying to flirt with them.
• Isabella saying that she only has a "bit" of a crush on Phineas, in which she is immediately called out on.
  • Right after the scene, Candace questions this by commenting on his triangular shaped head. Isabella just responds by saying how acute it is.
• After Ferb is teleported into the backyard from the dentist, when he tries to talk, it is unintelligible because he still has Novocaine in his mouth.
  • The closed captioning is even more hilarious, because it literally transcribes what he said as "Ab flabahem abla flapabla."
  • When Linda took him away at the beginning of the episode, Phineas notes that he's never seen Ferb so nervous before.
• Buford and Baljeet do another "Peanut butter in my chocolate" parody.
  • And rather than eat it, they both agree to Kill It with Fire.
• During the credits, Candace and Vanessa perform a hard rock cover of the Ducky Momo song.

The Klimpaloon Ultimatum

• Phineas and the gang pretty much recreate the Leeroy Jenkins viral video, with Buford in the title role. The attention to detail in recreating the scene is insane.
• Perry becoming famous as a Rastafarian warthog.
• Slamm Hammer saying that he will stop at nothing to disprove Klimpaloon's existence. Turns out he literally stopped at doing nothing.
• Mr. Random's monologue getting heard by everyone via microphone.
• "Trees are Made of Wood".
• Klimpaloon dancing in "The Ballad of Klimpaloon".
• Linda and Lawrence try to present despite the malfunctions of the platform of the microphone.

Operation Crumb Cake

• Isabella's reaction upon hearing that her grandmother never actually mailed a romantic letter meant for Isabella's grandfather, only moments after writing a very romantic letter meant for Phineas.
• Phineas Flynn, impressed by a spork.
• Ferb completely steals the show, despite only having three lines!
• Monogram gawking at his horoscope because it mentioned a haircut. If you look closely at Perry's face, you can almost see him thinking "I'm the only normal person in this whole organization, aren't I?"
• This is one of the few occasions Phineas gets zapped with an -inator, and this is the result.
  • Upon returning to normal, all he can do is wonder why he just did that.
• Norm undoing everything upon getting hit by the inator:
  Norm: "Now to put the giblets back into the chicken!"
  • "Oh no, I just realized I may have put the giblets in the hamster!"
• Isabella and the Fireside Girls' whole pursuit of the letter through the post office and beyond:
  Isabella: "We will get that letter back, no matter how nicely or politely we have to ask!"
• The ending of the episode deserves special mention.
  Isabella: Well, I guess we'll never know what was in that letter.
  Ferb: I guess not, and neither will your little crumbcake.
  Isabella: Milly!(Glares at Milly, who's just whistling innocently)

Mandace

• Perry's frustration with the kids unknowingly blocking off his entrances, forcing him to take the stairs.
• Doofenshmirtz and Perry fighting while being turned into various different forms, which can all somehow physically interact properly despite just being holograms.
• Candace attempting to find out what Jeremy "really" means when he talks, only to find that there are no hidden meanings.
• The end credits, in which Candace and Jeremy turn the statement "Cool" into a Voice Clip Song.
  • Also strangely sweet, as it demonstrates what united front these two have become.
• Perry being unable to use any of his lair entrances in the beginning.
• Doof's endless progression of better and better people he could impersonate.
  • "So then I thought, why be a brigadier general when I could be a major general? I mean, why not? I'm a modern guy! And then I though, maybe I'm still shooting too low, why be a major general when I could be a lieutenant general? And then I thought, why-" (Perry punches him)
• Candace asking Stacy for advice on what 'cool' means:
  Candace: "Did it mean like 'cool, I totally want to hang out with you,' or 'cool, I really wanted to see that movie,' or 'cool, like I think you're being cold and distant'?"
  Stacy: "Not that one."
• A subtle one: Jeremy describes the pizza guy (Candace in disguise) as having been "the most popular senior two years in a row."

Lost in Danville

• Phineas and Ferb's attempts to open the capsule, including dropping pianos on it.
• Doofenshmirtz explaining good nemesis behavior to Professor Mystery. Complete with a bunch of chorus girls who walk in to sing a song with him (and wheel him about in his restraints) then walk straight back out once the song is finished.
  Mystery: "How did you get chorus girls in here?"
  Doof: ".They're union. They'll travel."
  • It's established that Danville is known for its spontaneous musical numbers, but then you remember that Mystery is from Seattle. No wonder he's confused.
• Despite Bernie looking nothing like him, he initially claims that he's Phineas from the future, then changes his story and says that he's Baljeet, who points out that they're not even the same ethnicity, so he claims that he's Isabella, who points out that doesn't make sense either.
• All of Doofenshmirtz's interactions with Professor Mystery:
  Mystery: "Mystery is my allure!"
  Doof: "Oh, this is going to be a fun conversation."
• The ending that reveals the entire episode took place in another dimension.

The Inator Method

• Doofenshmirtz giving a seminar on how to rule the Tri-State Area. (It, of course, turns out to be a ploy for him to achieve that very thing.)
• After being defeated, Doofenshmirtz is left only in his undergarments as an angry mob pursues him. Upon exiting the building, he looks to make sure nobody is watching, and then continues running.
• The kids do their planetary role call:
  Buford: Oo-ra-nose, check!
  Baljeet: Buford, that is not how it is pronounced.
  Buford: It is on this channel!
  • It's also a pretty clever example of showing their work, as "Ouranos" is the original Greek name for deity the planet was named after.

Tales from the Resistance: Back to the 2nd Dimension

• The parody of the opening of the Fellowship of the Ring, complete with fake Elvish whispering.
• Candace-2 trying ice-cream.
• Watching the kids play sports with no knowledge of it beforehand.
• Ferb-2 mentioning that he only gets one line per episode, only to remain silent when Charlene-2 asks him why. Arguably becomes funnier when Ferb-2 actually talks again later in the episode and thus showing that it isn't that specific.
• Doof-2 being a coward when he is faced with combat.

Doof 101

• The cheesy "Doof 101" theme song.
• Principal Lang backs into a broom closet while warning Doofenshmirtz to behave himself.
• "Why does everyone always think I'm brooding? It's my brow, isn't it?"
• When Doof is trying to find a way to inject Johnny with the antidote:
  Doof: Nobody has a crossbow, do they?
  Becky: I do! (everyone stares at her) Why, is that weird?
• Based on their quick cameo, poor Phineas and Ferb are now under the impression that high school is going to be fun.

Act Your Age

• Phineas is shown to have trouble deciding on a college... because he literally has a shin-deep pile of acceptance letters, including one for a college in Norway, which doesn't even have colleges.
• Baljeet's introduction for the episode features him walking into Phineas and Ferb's room speaking in a deep voice...and then clearing his throat and remarking that he had something stuck in it in the voice he's had since the show started. Apparently his voice never broke.
• The Running Gag with Buford describing something with a summary for a movie plot, Baljeet telling him it's pretentious and Buford thanking him.
• When Phineas mentions that the college in England that Ferb plans to attend sounds like a wizard's school, Ferb indignantly protests "It's not a wizard's school." Then there's a beat before he admits "Well, there is some wizarding."
• Buford's comment about what's in the fridge.
• Phineas saying that he's "stuck in the friendzone" with Isabella. His completely honest delivery just makes it hilarious.
  • This is funnier if you consider that he's technically right since the "friendzone" can be defined as "having romantic feelings for someone but only being friends with them instead of dating".
  • Baljeet taking note that Isabella had looked at Phineas with hearts in her eyes when they were younger, and wondering how that was even possible.
  • Then when Phineas asks why didn't Baljeet ever tell Phineas about Isabella's crush on him before, he responds, "We are guys, we do not talk about feelings." Which is immediately followed up with talking about Irving's new car.
• Carl saying "great googly moogly" in the place of Monogram.
• Carl and Irving discussing how Monogram is "in a better place" now, implying that he had passed away. It turns out they were actually referring to how he's spending his retirement days in Bora Bora.
• With Doofenshmirtz having given up evil, Perry is now on vacation... in the Flynn-Fletchers' backyard tree.
• Doofenshmirtz' whole motivation: he desperately wants to have a mid-life crisis, because it seems so fun!
• When Dr. Doofenshmirtz zaps himself with his midlife-crisis-inator, Perry hurries off screen and comes back toting a set of defibrillators with the air of someone who has done this many times before.
• Adyson giving Ginger advice on how to manipulate Baljeet. Made more hilarious by the fact that Baljeet knows exactly what she's doing and considers it how they show their love.
• Buford's solution in case the plan to get Isabella and Phineas together doesn't work is to prepare a sign reading "Think about love".
• Buford's description of their romance efforts: "It'll be like love kicked them both in the face."
• Ginger's lingering jealousy towards Mishti.
  Adyson: (long-suffering tone) Let it go, Ginge. Let it go.
• The entirety of Doof's mid-life crisis, especially the part where he's buying a sports car.
  • When he tries to hit on his sky-diving instructor:
  Doofenshmirtz: You know, one of the best things about being a successful scientists is that I get to meet lots of attractive women, like yourself.
  Jump Instructor: You want to know the best part about being a jump instructor? (pushes him out of the plane)
  Perry: (tips his hat to her and jumps out after him)
• While the What Might Have Been song is mostly a Tearjerker, it does list one of the romantic things Phineas can do for Isabella as holding her hair back if she gets sick with salmonella.
• Apparently, Lawrence's version of a midlife crisis is switching from Earl Grey to Darjeeling. Linda's response to this development probably reflects the audience's though possibly not in the same way.
  Linda: (flatly) You are a mad-man.
• Vanessa ending the episode by messing with Ferb:
  Vanessa: "I never knew she had a thing for him."
  Ferb: "Seriously?"
  Vanessa: "No, I'm just messing with you. Everyone knew!"
• Swampy being so teary-eyed that when a portion of "What Might Have Been" is playing during the credits, you can hear him crying during the song, to the point that an annoyed Dan tells him to get a grip.
  • Dan's discomfort with Swampy getting emotional and eventually pulling a I Need to Go Iron My Dog to get away.
  • Dan and Swampy's segments in general were pretty funny - they even make a joke about the suggestion that Perry should get a girlfriend.
