Line #32 Recap/PhineasAndFerbToyToTheWorld


1	Phineas and Ferb decide to try designing toys, settling on creating a Perry the Platypus action figure that "does absolutely nothing".
2
3	Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz plots to get rich by forcing people to go through his toll booths to get in or out of the Tri-State Area, stealing the area's supply of bricks and attempting to construct a wall surrounding the city.
4	----
5	!!Tropes
6	* BadJobWorseUniform: Candace's job at the toy store has her wearing a monkey hat, later a platypus costume, and even later a brick costume. Fortunately, Jeremy (who wears a hat with a hot-dog on it as part of his job at Mr. Slushy Dawg) commiserates with her.
7	-->'''Jeremy:''' The things they make us wear. At least you don't have a weenie on your head!\
8	'''Candace''': (sighs dreamily) He understands me.
9	* BrokenRecord: The jingle for "Brick" is just the word "Brick" sung over and over again, followed by a man saying, "It's fun!" and a bulb horn honk.
10	* CharlieAndTheChocolateParody: The boys remodel the Har-D-Har Toy Company's factory to look like Willy Wonka's (complete with Chocolate River and Oompa-Loompa look-alikes, which surprises Phineas).
11	-->'''Badinkadinks:''' We will now lay waste to the surface dwellers!\
12	'''Phineas:''' Okay, then. Carry on.
13	* ChekhovsGun: One of the rejected versions of the Perry Inaction Figure presented to Phineas and Ferb was a "Secret Agent Perry", which even looks like Agent P on the concept poster, but with a bathrobe. Later, when Agent P ends up in the very same factory making the figures, he ends up in the path of the brothers with no time to hide and [[HiddenInPlainSight just stands still]]. Upon being noticed, Phineas picks him up and throws him in a bin of rejected Perry toys, angrily reminding the workers that they weren't making those.
14	* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Doof's plan to imprison Perry inside a brick box would have worked better if he had some cement to keep the bricks together.
15	* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: As the jingle lampshades, better watch what Shimmy Jimmy's throwin', 'cause he ain't wearin' no pants!
16	* HypocriticalHumor: Phineas and Ferb design an inaction figure that does nothing. Later, when the company starts selling toy bricks, Phineas wonders who would want to play with a brick.
17	-->'''Phineas:''' Now, who would buy a brick for a toy?\
18	'''Ferb:''' [[CallBack It does absolutely nothing.]]
19	* KingKongClimb: One of the climbing toys produced by Har D Har, Ascendin' Brandon, is a gorilla climbing a skyscraper.
20	* ModelPlanning: To show Perry his scheme, Doofenshmirtz made a precise, 1/100th scale replica of the Tri State Area.
21	-->'''Doofenshmirtz:''' You'd be surprised how much free time I have.
22	* NobodyHereButUsStatues: Perry crash lands in the Har D Har factory while still wearing his secret agent getup, and as Phineas and Ferb walk in, he proceeds to stand completely still, prompting Phineas to mistake him for a toy design he already rejected prior and throw him in the trash.
23	* OneTrackMindedArtist: The entirety of Har D Har's product catalog consists of climbing toys with rhyming or alliterative names like "Shimmy Jimmy", "Climbin' Simon", "Ascendin' Brendon", "Ladderman Larry", and who can forget "Climby Hymie" and nothing else. This causes a problem for the company since their consumers are not interested in them anymore. Once Phineas and Ferb get involved, the company gets back on its feet rather quickly.
24	* RecordNeedleScratch: When Phineas sees Perry standing completely still, assumes he's yet another prototype of the Secret Agent Perry toy, and angrily tells the staff that the company isn't making that model.
25	* {{Roofhopping}}: Perry chases Doofenshmirtz across the roofs of Danville until Doofenshmirtz accidentally falls into the Har-D-Har Toy Factory.
26	* ShoutOut:
27	** The episode title is a play on either the Christmas carol "Joy to the World" or the Music/ThreeDogNight song of the same name (Sometimes referred to by its first line "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog" to differentiate it from said carol) or both.
28	** To ''Literature/TheEmperorsNewClothes'': The head of the Har-D-Har Toy Company later comes to work in his underwear, claiming he's wearing a suit only smart people are able to see.
29	--->'''Ferb:''' That man isn't wearing any clothes.
30	* SpecialGuest: Creator/JKSimmons as the head of the Har-D-Har toy company.
31	* SubvertedCatchphrase: When the head of the Har-D-Har Toy Company asks Phineas and Ferb if they're a little too young to be toy designers, Phineas says, "Well... I don't think so!".
32	* TemptingFate: Doofenshmirtz tries to run away from Perry the Platypus, shouting, "You couldn't stop me with a billion Perry the Platypuses!" Cue Doofenshmirtz accidentally falling into the Har-D-Har factory during production of the Perry inaction figure, and then being buried alive in model Perrys.
33	* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: One of the rare moments in which Monogram calls Agent P "Perry".
