Recap / Phineas And Ferb Bully Bust

When Buford wakes himself up early and shows up to Phineas and Ferb's house before they've started working, Candace challenges him to keep their latest project from disappearing: a dental-themed amusement park ride called the Dental Hygenosphere. Meanwhile, after buying the largest caffeinated beverage he can get his hands on, a hyperactive Dr. Doofenshmirtz plots to use a device called the Luffa-plex Dill Pickle Inator, which will launch all of his enemies into orbit, keeping them out of sight and out of mind.

Tropes

• Continuity Nod: The Ferb TV box from "Ferb TV" is still on top of the television.
• Hair-Trigger Sound Effect: Whenever anyone mentions Buford's TUFF SHOO LAYSIZZ!!!!, it is punctuated by an announcer shouting the brand name.
• I Meant to Do That: When Doofenshmirtz accidentally hits Perry with a shoe, he says "That's what I was planning to do".
• I'm Okay!: Doofenshmirtz at the end of the episode:
  Doofensmirtz: Just in case anyone's wondering what happened to old Doofenshmirtz, I'm okay!
  The Dental Hygenosphere lands on top of him
  Doofenshmirtz: Yeah, well, obviously not now.
• Motor Mouth: Doofenshmirtz tends to ramble at a fast pace as a result of being overcaffeinated.
• Musicalus Interruptus: Buford apparently has a song for every situation, although only two songs are heard in full, while the others are just him singing, "Welllllll..." before it cuts to the next scene. He even mentions having a song about falling from the sky, but... "it doesn't end well."
• Must Have Caffeine: Doof is overcaffeinated for today's evil scheme.
• Non-Indicative Name: The Luffa-plex Dill Pickle Inator has nothing to do with dill pickles. The reason the name is so weird is that Doofenshmirtz bought it off the internet and the rights to the name expire the next day.
• Portmanteau: When Irving says that he'll sell "ballooths", balloons in the shape of a tooth, the rest of the kids say, "Oh, you mean Toothaloons".
• Rube Goldberg Device: Doofenshmirtz's trap (which was based on one of his favorite board games) is, essentially, one of these.
• Running Gag: Buford's family has a song for virtually every situation. He only gets to sing the first one all the way through; every time he tries to sing another one, he gets interrupted.
• Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: When Perry tampers with the inator, Doof, high on caffeine and also as a repeat of a gag from "Bad Hair Day", he says, "Perry the Platypus, did you just say, 'Bzz-bzz-bzzt'?"
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Isabella comments on how she loves the fact that Phineas uses overly long words for common things like brushing teeth and washing up. Baljeet responds by saying, "It is gratifyingly erudite". Isabella then responds with, "It's not as cute when you do it".
  Baljeet: (sighs) I am cognizant of that.
• Shout-Out:
  • The show that Candace watches on TV is called "Girls Freaking Out!", an SFW parody of the "Girls Gone Wild" tapes.
    Candace: I love this show! It makes me feel so normal.
  • Doof's trap was inspired by the board game "Mouse Trap."
• Talking in Your Sleep: The episode begins with Candace doing this. She is dreaming about being on trial for robbery but already wearing a prison jumpsuit. When she is awoken by Buford's loud humming, she mutters, "Somehow, I wanna finish that dream to find out whether I'm guilty or not."
• That Reminds Me of a Song: Apparently, the Van Stomms have a song for various occurrences.
  Buford: I got a song for how Van Stomms fall from the sky, too, but... it doesn't end well.
• Wholesome Crossdresser: Major Monogram mentions that Carl set up a monitor on a trading card during the cover of night while dressed as a member of the family. Carl, then appears wearing a red wig, a red shirt and white skirt asking Agent P if he can guess which one.
  Major Monogram: Carl, would you take that off? It's creeping me out, man.
• Widely-Spaced Jail Bars: The bars in Perry's cage are so far apart that Perry can slip right through them.
• Xtreme Kool Letterz: Again, Buford's shoes are tied with TUFF SHOO LAYSIZZ!!!!
