Recap / Phineas And Ferb Tree To Get Ready

Go To

Phineas and Ferb have decided to build a tree-house for themselves and remodel Candace's old one.

Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz attemps to take revenge on his "goody two-shoes brother" Roger.

This episode marks the first appearance of Roger Doofenshmirtz.


Tropes

  • Bait-and-Switch: While condemning taxi drivers, Doof is handed a plunger detonator labeled "Boom", clearly setting up the classic cartoon scenario of setting off a bomb. Upon pressing the plunger, a 2 ton weight drops instead.
  • Bird-Poop Gag: Doofenshmirtz attempts to invoke this on his brother by mind controlling the city's pigeons with the Poop-Inator.
  • Curbstomp Battle: Stacy beats Candace in the wrestling videogame 25 times in a row.
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: Roger receives the key to the city from the current unnamed Mayor just for being a goody-two-shoes and being overly handsome. It is not until "Hail Doofania" that he is officially elected the Mayor of Danville.
  • False Reassurance: Isabella is a bit wary when Phineas is about to launch her to the treehouse platform with a tube-swing cannon, but he says they haven't missed yet...because she's the first passenger.
    Isabella: Wait, what?!
  • Fun with Acronyms: Stacy pushes a button reading “THF”, which means “Tree House Fight”.
  • Hand-or-Object Underwear: When Doofenshmirtz accidentally blasts off the feathers of one of his pigeons with the Poop-Inator, the pigeon covers its crotch with its wings.
  • Human Hammer-Throw: The girls' mecha do this to the boys'.
  • Humongous Mecha: Skyscraper size and made of wood.
  • Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!: It was awesome folks, very awesome.
  • Let's Dance: The girls say this at the beginning of the Tree House Fight as they command their robot to grab the boys' one to do exactly that.
  • List Song: "My Goody Two-Shoes Brother" includes a list of people Doofenshmirtz hates, ranging from bellhops to his brother.
    I bear lots of animosity to bellhops
    They never bring my luggage up on time
    And taxi drivers really tax my patience
    If they vanished, would it really be a crime?
  • No, You: As their mecha dance around the Neighborhood.
    Phineas: Hey, stop leading!
    Candace: You stop leading.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Candace initially thinks "THF" is supposed to be a sound system.
    • A Running Gag has Phineas and Ferb wearing different costumes throughout the fight. This is a reference to a gag in Duck Soup during the war sequence where Groucho keeps wearing different military uniforms throughout.
  • The Stinger: Other than the reprise of "My Goody Two-Shoes Brother" during the credits, the very last image shown is Doofenshmirtz walking out of his building all covered in pigeon crap.
  • Team Rocket Wins: From Candace's viewpoint, this is one of the only times she gets the last laugh over her brothers by knocking them out with water balloons.
  • Transforming Mecha: Those treehouses can turn into Humongous Mechas.
  • Treehouse of Fun: It's got so many luxurious things in there, it's like a playground at mansion size. To top it off, they double as Transforming Mechas.
  • Villain Song: This episode marks the first of several Broadway style songs that Doofenshmirtz sings, "My Goody Two-Shoes Brother".
  • Visual Pun: As Candace admires her new treehouse, she remarks on "all the bells and whistles" as she and Stacy pass by a wall lined with actual bells and whistles.
  • Wingding Eyes: When the pigeons are blasted by the Poop-inator, an image of the person whom they're going to poop on flashes in their eyes.
