History ShoutOut / PhineasAndFerb

* Doof recalls watching a movie about giant kittens terrorizing a city called "Night of the Felis" and being inspired by the attempt to make something cute into an object of horror, exactly like the classic horror flick ''Film/NightOfTheLepus'' attempted to do with giant rabbits.

* In fact, the title of the episode is a reference to the movie ''Film/RagingBull'', which is about a boxer. The fact that the climactic battle is a thumb war that takes place in mini boxing ring is a testament to this.

* The badinkadinks and the chocolate river are an obvious reference to ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory''.

* "Disco Miniature Golfing Queen" is sounds like something Music/{{ABBA}} would perform.

* Perry has to swim past [[Film/AustinPowers a shark with a]] [[FrickinLaserBeams frickin' laser beam]] to get to his lair.

* Candace's JunglePrincess phase is clearly similar to the Franchise/Tarzan lore.

* When Candace is expelled from S.H.E.D., Buford says you shouldn't get Phineas angry, "you wouldn't like him when he's angry," as she slowly walks away to a soundalike of the music from ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk''.

* Doof's neighbor insults the evil scientist by calling him ''https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Man_(song) Rocket Man]].

* The episode is loaded with nods to fantasy stories like ''Ltierature/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Literature/TheNeverEndingStory'', and ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.

* As Phineas, Ferb, Isabella, Candace, and Meap fly into Seattle, the scene is accompanied by a song reminiscent of [[{{Music/Nirvana}} "Smells Like Teenage Spirit."]] Fitting as Seattle was known for being a Grunge Rock hotspot from the mid-80's well into the 90's, as well as Seattle being [[{{Music/Nirvana}} Nirvana's]] home turf.

* Crickey the Crocodile is named for Steve Irwin's CatchPhrase.

* The title is a reference to "Sleeping With the Enemy"

* FFC Regulations are brought up in the musical number: "IF you're watching at home there's a 7-second delay. This refers to the Television Delay rule set up by the FCC ever since the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy.

* The title, as well as the format of Doofenshmirtz's plot, refers to the old TV series ''Series/ThisIsYourLife''.

* During the kids' ice show, the famous stage direction from ''Theatre/AWintersTale'' is recreated: "Exit, pursued by a bear."

* Title is a reference to a Creator/JerryLeeLewis song.

* Doof's plan to steal famous landmarks sounds like something WesternAnimation Carmen San Diego]] would do.

* Slushy the Clown references Ronald [=McDonald=], Big Boy, and other similar fast food mascots.

* The supercomputer's voice sounds like Hal from ''Film/2001ASpaceOdyssey''.

** The name is also a shout out to a famous Christmas carol.

* The music that plays during the trip through the asteroid field bears a striking resemblance to a song from the ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' soundtrack called "The Asteroid Field".

** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it example from the same fight. At one point, Perry nonchalantly switches his hot-dog [[IAmNotLeftHanded from his right hand]] [[Film/ThePrincessBride to his left.]]

** The digitizing ray is an obvious reference to ''Film/{{Tron}}'', but it's probably just a coincidence that their last name is "Flynn". The game that Buford has is also similar to a UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo DS}}i. Additionally, one of the sounds in Jump & Duck is the sound that plays in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' when the player gets a coin.

* Ferb wears various Vanna White style outfits as the show's LovelyAssistant.

** The song in this episode is a pastiche of Music/TheB52s.

** Not to mention how the band's name is [[Music/TheBeatles The Baljeatles]].

* Perry is strapped down while a laser cuts upwards, a reference to ''Film/JamesBond'':
** Also lampshaded:

* Linda imitates an Austrian accent and says, [[Film/TheTerminator I'll be back"]].

** The song "Alien Heart" also appears to have been inspired by 80's novelty songs such as "She Blinded Me With Science".

** Another from this episode is the outfit Linda is trying on in the dressing room is clearly the outfit Jesus wore in the [=GodSpell=] movie.

** "Permanecer sentados por favor" (Spanish for "Please remain in your seats") from the "Rollercoaster" song is a shout-out to the safety spiel at the end of the Matterhorn Bobsleds in Disneyland.
** At the end of the episode, they mention the phrase "Carpe Diem", which means "Seize the Day". Then they go into the last song, "Carpe Diem", choreographed by Kenny Ortega, who was the director and choreographer for the musical film ''Film/{{Newsies}}'', which had a song called "Seize the Day". What's more is that the set for "Carpe Diem" is reminiscent of ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'', another Kenny Ortega musical film.

** Meanwhile, the episode's title references Music/TheMonkees song "Last Train to Clarksville".

** When Perry and Doofenshmirtz are fighting in the cab of Doofenzshmirtz's truck, the fight choreography is directly taken from Indy's fight with the driver of the German truck in ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.

* Candace's plot line, as well as the episode's title, is a reference to ''Film/MyFairLady''.
** To drive this point home, Ferb's cousin (who isn't named after David Beckham), is named "Eliza".

** Later, after the movie ends, when Stacey and Candace exit the cinema hall, there is a poster revealing that the movie is called "Early Evening".

*

* The title may be a reference to ''Literature/TheRemainsOfTheDay''.

** May or may not be intentional, but the situation Perry and Doofenshmirtz get into (being handcuffed to each other and chased by a hunter) is ''extremely'' similar to the plot of one ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' episode. The hunter even mentions hanging them in his trophy room!
*** Probably not a reference to Danny Phantom; that situation is common enough to [[ChainedHeat have it's own trope name]].

* The episodes includes several references to ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'', including the drainpipe escape and the prison including an inmate named Red who knows how to get things, with his narration done in the stye of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjKF7aQthcQ Alice's Restaurant ]]..
** The basic plot is that the heroes are given the chance to vacation on an alien planet by swapping minds with its inhabitants, only to discover once the swap has taken place that they've been conned. This is very similar to the opening chapters of Creator/RobertSheckley's 1966 novel ''Mindswap''. In fact the phrase "mind swap" actually occurs in the episode.

* The [[ItMakesSenseInContext dying words of the George Washington Robot]] are the same as [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Wicked Witch of the West]].

* Doofenshmirtz's musical number has him in a white tux accompanied by a jazz band dancing in a way remarkably similar to Music/CabCalloway. Heck, the song might even be considered a reference to 'The Old Man of The Mountain", famously used in a WesternAnimation/BettyBoop [[WesternAnimation/TheOldManOfTheMountain cartoon of the same name]].

* The post-credit scene where Doofenshmirtz is reduced to working as a "Penguin Man" in the carnival side show is an homage to the 1932 movie ''Film/Freaks'' where the villainous trapeze artist is mutilated by vengeful side show performers into a "Chicken Woman."

* There's a quote from [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid "Under the Sea"]].

* It's possible that the A plot's resolution was a shout out to ''Disney/LiloAndStitch''. To recap, Doof is holding an ice cream cone, Perry uses a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext whale whistle to summon a whale, which somehow leaps up into the air, over the two]]. The most notable thing that the whale hits is the top of the ice cream cone that Doofenshmirtz was holding, which falls through the air and, eventually, lands on Phineas's head. There's a recurring character in ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'' who always loses his ice cream in a similar manner-- once even having it knocked down by the tip of a spaceship's wing, which is the most like this scenario.

* You can see [[Disney/{{Hercules}} the Muses]] on the vase Perry is hiding behind.

* Doof is trying to adopt a dog and Perry disguises himself as a dog to foil his plans. The pet shop owner tells him "I'm not even sure that's [Perry] a dog." It's entirely possible that this is a ShoutOut to ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', where the woman in charge of the kennel Lilo is trying to adopt a dog from says pretty much the same thing about Stitch.

* If you listen closely to the "dance music" that plays twice in -- [[ItMakesSenseInContext once when Perry's defeating evil while dancing and then when the animation studio dances away]]-- there are parts that sound an awful lot like [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid "Under the Sea"]].

* When the boys are snapped out of their trance, [[Disney/TheLionKing light shines down on them on the cliffside.]]

* When Doofenshmirtz traps Perry in the ball gown, the first few notes of the theme of ''Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast'' (notes of the line "Tale as old as time") plays.

* Baljeet remarks that his life is a "Black cauldron of swirling failure,'' which is possibly a reference to one of Disney's most infamous [[Disney/TheBlackCauldron failures.]]

* The episodes featured many shout outs to ''Disney/LiloAndStitch'', including a cameo by the Fat Tourist and Candace wearing Lilo's signature outfit.

* As in Disney/{{Dumbo}}, some elephants help put up a circus tent.

* The song "Aerial Area Rug" is an obvious affectionate parody of the song "A Whole New World" from ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''

* The plot involves Norm wanting to becoming a real boy a la ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}''.

* The training montage song "Way of the Platypus" contains multiple nods to ''Disney/{{Mulan}}'', and has this lyric:

* Malefishmirtz's name and outfit is a nod to Maleficent from Disney's ''Disney/SleepingBeauty''.

* The "Vampire Queen and Scarlet Pimpernel" song is a play on the song [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Beauty And The Beast]], including the line "tale as old as time".

* "On the Savannah" opens with a nod to the sunrise shot from ''Disney/TheLionKing''.

* "Oh, great. [[Film/LordOfTheRings They have a cave troll.]]"

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEBfRMKnyXg J-Pop (Welcome to Tokyo)]]" features references to {{Caramelldansen Vid}}s and [=LeekSpin=] (specifically, the [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]] version of Ievan Polka).

* Additionally, the pizzeria is called [[WesternAnimation/Rocko's]], referencing another show Dan and Swampy worked on.

* The giant robots are a shout out to Japan's love of giant mech series. This is lampshaded by Regent Monogram. It might be taken a step further, with Doof's dragon referencing Godzilla, or Kaiju in general, and the terracotta warrior referencing SuperSentai (five pilots controlling a single humanoid robot) or Ultraman (a humanoid robot who fights kaiju) but it's hard to say.
