History PhineasAndFerb / TropesJToP

* PandaingToTheAudience: Peter the Panda.

* OverprotectiveDad:
** Doofenshmirtz sent a man to another dimension once for hitting on Vanessa ("She's sixteen!" ''ZAAAP!'') Subverted with her crush/boyfriend Johnny, whom Doofenshmirtz apparently didn't mind:
--->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' ''(on Vanessa's birthday party)'': I took the liberty of going through your address book and inviting all your little friends! Including a nice fella named Johnny.\\
''[Vanessa looks horrified as something like a ScareChord plays]''\\
'''Doofenshmirtz:''' He had hearts by his name. I think I know what that ''meeeans''...
** In the in-character DVD commentary for "The Chronicles of Meap", Doof thinks that Ferb looks like a "hooligan" and is less than pleased when he starts hitting on Vanessa. He even mentions that he plans on warning Charlene not to let Ferb come hanging around their house.

* {{Masquerade}}: Perry must keep his secret agent identity concealed from the Flynn-Fletcher family to avoid being relocated by the OWCA. He acts like a mindless domestic animal around them and only dons his fedora in private. The reason for this is that the information of who Perry is could potentially put not only Perry, but Phineas and Ferb in danger. Or it could just lead to a lot of empty doorsteps when the family heard the doorbell, as Doofenshmirtz said (in the episode "Hide and Seek") doorbell ditching was a reason he wanted to find out where Perry lived.

* {{Metaphorgotten}}: As the band Love [[HeavyMetalUmlaut Händel]] broke up due to infighting:
-->"Lines were drawn. Then lines were crossed. Eventually, the lines were erased and the piece of paper was crumpled up and thrown away."

-->'''Phineas:''' The sun beat down on the city like a hammer; a relentless, hot, beating hammer hammering down like a big metaphor that was... hot, for some reason.

-->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' Oh, I see what you're doing. You're messing with my head, trying to get into my mind, walk around in there, rearrange the furniture, maybe repaint the kitchen...

-->'''Alien Criminal:''' Oh, rhinestone encrusted oracle, command us with your quadrilateral right angle voice commands!

* MoodMotif: Several.

* MadeOfIron: Major Monogram has stated that he is 35% metal in "Summer Belongs to You". Everyone probably fits the normal manner of this trope, but it's most obvious with [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Doofenshmirtz]] and [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender Candace]].

* OffModel:
** Isabella's height seems to vary; in some episodes she seems to be half a head taller than Phineas, in others she's just slightly bigger.
** Also in "Nerds of a Feather", Albert's glasses are noticeably thinner than in other episodes. (He's been in three, and Nerds of a Feather was the second, so it wasn't likely a design change).
** Does not help that there's close to five different animation studios (Creator/WangFilmProductions and Creator/RoughDraftStudios being the main ones) on the series.
** "Bubble Boys", done by Synergy Animation, is probably one of the most OffModel episodes of the series, (i.e. Doofenshmirtz's hand disappearing for a split second). The musical number "Yodel Odel Obey Me" must have been done in flash because of the animation being so off model.
** Sometimes Holly is drawn with a ToothStrip instead of her usual buck teeth.
** Candace's bare feet vary in size depending on which studio is animating the episode. Korean animators tend to give her bigger feet.
** [[SuddenAnatomy Sometimes animators would draw Isabella with eyebrows]], even though WordOfGod says she doesn't have any.

** A CrowdSong, and indeed entire episode, about ''[[WhatTheHeckIsAnAglet aglets]]'', and that's just the [[IncrediblyLamePun tip]] of the iceberg.

* KingOfTheDinosaurs:
** A ''Tyrannosaurus'' serves as the main antagonist of "It's About Time!" That same ''T. rex'' would later appear in cameos throughout the show.
** In the comic "Dino-Might!", the boys resurrect a ''T. rex'' that Isabella names "Fluffy" (because he isn't fluffy). Fluffy proves to be a lot friendlier and tamer than the previous ''T. rex'' encountered, although it becomes a problem when he starts chasing after Candace on her bike due to a game of fetch going awry.

* {{Nerd}}: More major and minor characters than it is possible to list here, but the two most prominent examples are [[BollywoodNerd Baljeet]], who reads while on summer break, and [[TheIntern Carl]].

->Mom! Phineas and Ferb are splitting their Wiki/TVTropes page!

** Subverted at the end of the movie, where 2nd Dimension!Doof manages to use two during the course of the song.

* LavaSurfing: Perry catches some lava waves in the episode "Swiss Family Phineas". And of course by "lava", we mean pink soapy water taken UpToEleven.

** Candace sometimes gets involved in the boys projects in a friendly way even while she's trying to bust them. "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud World" and "Spa Day" are but two examples out of many. Taken UpToEleven in "Finding Mary [[MacGuffin Mc]][[LampshadeHanging Guffin]]" when she ''gives'' them their project. (To be detectives.)

** Isabella makes obvious advances towards him as early as the pilot episode, and him being so obsessed/distracted with his latest project that he fails to notice, but the "Summer Belongs To You" special [[UpToEleven takes the cake]]. In a show known for [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall leaning frequently on the fourth wall]], this episode has Isabella singing an [[TearJerker adorably sad]] song about her affections for him, followed by a sour depression when he fails once again to notice her affections, all of which takes place in Paris (referred to by the various characters as "The City of Love"), but not a minute later, he laments for each of the OTHER unfortunate couples, who have very obvious attractions to each other, causing Isabella to shake in rage. All the while the idea of Isabella perhaps liking him is completely alien to him. Despite that, though, she does get a well-deserved hug from him later in the episode after she rallies him from an unrelated depression on his part.

* NiceHat: Perry and all other O.W.C.A. agents fedoras, which can hold every tool they might need in their missions.

** In "Meapless In Seattle", we have a [[TastesLikeDiabetes super-cutesy]] song about the Meap army...going to war and destroying their enemies.

%% * LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The cast of this is very large.

* PantyShot:
** In "Ain't No Kiddie Ride" when the rocket is spinning upwards with Candace holding on. It's very hard to see at regular motion since they're the same color as her skirt. Usually this is [[MagicSkirt assiduously avoided]], though.
** Also in "Mommy Can You Hear Me?" when Candace is going to the backyard to tell her mom what was built in the backyard, she hops over to her and her skirt is flying up each time she hops and once more they are the same color as her skirt.
** Oddly enough those two incidents are nothing compare to what she really does but still doesn't get any upskirts. See "Run Candace Run" to fully understand me.

%% * {{Meganekko}}: Gretchen and Charlene Doofenshmirtz.
