Line #30 Recap/PhineasAndFerbWizardOfOdd


1	Phineas and Ferb's house cleaner knocks Candace unconscious after she was reading ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', and she dreams of being transported to an Oz-like world with a lot of familiar places. She must follow the yellow sidewalk to Bustopolis to get the Wizard to help her bust her brothers!
2	----
3	!!Tropes
4	* AbsurdlyLongStairway: Candace insists on taking the yellow stairs to the Wizard rather than her brothers' fun slide. By the time she gets to the top, she is out of breath.
5	* AllJustADream: The episode is actually a crazy dream Candace has after getting knocked out when Phineas, Ferb and the gang wash the house.
6	* AndYouWereThere: The cast is all in Wizard of Oz roles, bar Phineas and Ferb.
7	** Candace and Perry act as Dorothy and Toto.
8	*** Dorothy and Toto themselves also appear when their house crushes Doofenwitch[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!"[[/note]] while he is singing his song.
9	** Baljeet is a nerdy scarecrow who wants to be cool.
10	** Jeremy is a tree who takes the place of the tin man, and wants to be a real boy.
11	** Buford is Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy who takes the place of the cowardly lion and claims to want nothing.
12	** Doofenshmirtz is the Wicked Witch--sorry, ''[[InsistentTerminology Warlock]]''.
13	** Isabella is the Good Witch with the Fireside Girls as the munchkins, or the Patchkins.
14	** Major Monogram is a fairy for some reason.
15	** Mom is the Wizard.
16	** Suzy briefly appears at the beginning as the Wicked Witch of the East.
17	** Stacy also appears as an owl.
18	* BaitAndSwitch: When Candace and the Scarecrow come across the Tin Man, Candace recognizes him from the book and immediately goes about looking for the oil can... until one of the talking trees turns out to be played by Jeremy and Candace immediately forgets about the Woodsman, inviting him instead.
19	* BavarianFireDrill: The gang rescue Candace from Doof by pretending to be an evil witch[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!" "Then what's with the dress?" "It's a robe!"[[/note]] makeover service. Doof falls hook line and sinker.
20	* BlahBlahBlah: Candace reluctantly starts reading ''The Wonderful Wizard of Oz'' like this "Blah blah, Dorothy, blah blah, Kansas", but then her interest piques when she gets to the part about the cyclone.
21	* BodyHorror: The brief shot of the red boots literally growing into Candace's legs.
22	* TheCameo: The Talking Zebra briefly appears at the beginning of Candace's dream.
23	* ComedicUnderwearExposure: When Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy unzips Jeremy's tree costume, Jeremy exclaims that he is finally free... and in his underwear.
24	-->'''Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy''': Yes. Yes, you are.
25	* BrickJoke: When Candace meets the Patchkins, one of them expectorates in front of her and proudly proclaims, "I have saliva." Later, a terrifying beastbog does the same thing.
26	* ContinuityNod:
27	** During the spinning vortex scene, some of the boys' inventions (such as the [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbRollercoaster rollercoaster]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbPerryLaysAnEgg the Platyposterior]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbIBrobot and a Phinedroid and Ferbot]]) and some reoccurring background characters and elements (such as a [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbLawnGnomeBeachPartyOfTerror lawn gnome]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbUnfairScienceFairRedux a Martian]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbCometKermillian squirrels]], the Giant Floating Baby Head and the Talking Zebra) fly by Candace as she's spinning.
28	** The dessert-themed sidewalk is non-dairy according to Phineas, likely to refer to Candace's lactose intolerance as revealed back in "Candace Loses Her Head".
29	*** Also, the others' reaction to this ("Ice cream! Ice cream!") is similar to Buford and Baljeet's reaction to Carl's ice cream truck in "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbSwissFamilyPhineas Swiss Family Phineas]]".
30	** When Candace gets to Bustopolis, some of the boys' inventions and ideas are on display, such as [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbItsAMudMudMudMudWorld the Candace Crusher]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbOutToLaunch Candace's rocket]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbLawnGnomeBeachPartyOfTerror the Backyard Beach]], [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbDudeWereGettingTheBandBackTogether getting the band back together]], and the [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbRollercoaster rollercoaster]].
31	* CreditsGag: Dan Povenmire is credited for the voice of "Doofenwitch", but the word "witch" is crossed out and [[RunningGag the word "warlock" is written next to it]].
32	* ADayInTheLimelight: For Candace.
33	* ExactWords: When Doofenwitch[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!"[[/note]], after capturing her, demands the red boots from Candace, she replies they've grown on her. Doofenwitch[[note]]"WARLOCK! It's a robe, not a dress!"[[/note]] assumes she assumes she means that she's grown to like them as footwear. Candace then explains that they have ''literally'' started growing on her, as in they're becoming part of her body and she can't remove them.
34	* EyeAmWatchingYou: Done by a ''lava crocodile'' towards Candace and her companions when they are trapped after the drawbridge is raised.
35	* FantasticFlora: When Jeremy-Tree comments on how scary the trees look, one of them (voiced by writer Bobby Gaylor, who also does Buford) snarks, "Well, we can't ''all'' be movie stars!"
36	* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Buford and Baljeet get Candace's attention, she asks them what they want. Buford assumes she means in the metaphysical sense, so he responds, "Nothin'", while Baljeet says he wants to be cool. This would become the Nerdcrow and the Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy's desires in Candace's dream.
37	* GoofyPrintUnderwear: One of the guards in Doof's castle has a pair of pink underpants with hearts on them.
38	* IWantSong: Each of the sidekicks Candace meets gets one. Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy attempts at one, but it turns out short because he doesn't actually want anything; Candace lampshades such. Even Doof's guards get an "I Want" song.
39	* ImMelting: Candace pours water onto Doofenwitch[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!"[[/note]] with this intention, but all it ends up doing his shrinking his dress[[note]]"It's a ROBE!"[[/note]]. He later returns wearing a pink tracksuit.
40	* ImOkay: Little Suzy Johnson as the Wicked Witch of the East attempts to say this, but her cries for help fall on deaf ears.
41	* IfIHadANickel:
42	-->'''Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy:''' Nope, I'm a combination of lion, tiger, ''and'' bear.\
43	'''Ensemble:''' Oh, my!\
44	'''Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy:''' If I had a nickel for every time I heard that.
45	* InsistentTerminology: Doof is not a witch; he's a warlock. And it's not a dress, it's a robe!
46	* MagicFeather:
47	** Subverted with the gifts to Candace's team. Nerdcrow is given cool sunglasses, but told coolness is undefinable and so they can only give him something to fake it. Jeremy turned out to be delusional and merely wearing a costume. Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy, meanwhile, wanted nothing, but got a sandwich, which he admitted was something he'd want.
48	** Subverted with the red boots as well. They do nothing...but Doof wanted them because they're red and add color to his wardrobe, not for magical reasons.
49	* MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere: Done for a brief gag in the "Yellow Sidewalk" song, when Good Witch Isabella says that a log truck overturned on the purple sidewalk, and a cop briefly appears saying this line.
50	* MusicalisInterruptus:
51	** Done during Nerd-crow's musical number; he is stopped by Candace.
52	** When Doofenwitch[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!"[[/note]] finally gets the Red Rubber Boots, he sings a musical number, but [[BrickJoke gets crushed by a flying house]].
53	* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: The lava moat around Doofenwitch's[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!"[[/note]] castle has a red crocodile living in it.
54	* NoMusicAllowed: Candace is not thrilled that her dream is going to have a lot of singing in it. But she lets Jeremy-Tree's song continue since she has a crush on him. And she is thrilled that the Lion-Tiger-Bear's song was short. A RunningGag is the Nerd-Crow's annoyance of everyone getting to finish their song but he doesn't get to.
55	* NonIndicativeName: The Sea of Razor-Sharp Rock Spires is actually a sea of soft pillows. This is lampshaded by Phineas.
56	* OffToSeeTheWizard: The episode has Candace sent into a dream adventure akin to ''The Wizard of Oz''. It should be noted that while Candace reads the original novel in the beginning, the dream seems more or less patterned after the 1939 film.
57	* OrWasItADream: When Candace sees Jeremy riding the giant unicycle with the gang, Jeremy tells Candace that it beats taking the sidewalk.
58	-->'''Candace''': You have no idea.
59	* RecordNeedleScratch: Happens every time Phineas and Ferb interrupt Candace and try to show her a fun way to Bustopolis.
60	* RecycledAnimation: A lot of Candace's dancing in "Rusted" is reused from "Busted". As always, this is made obvious by her black outline nose.
61	* ThatRussianSquatDance: The guards do this during their song.
62	* RunningGag:
63	** Whenever Doof calls out his guards, one of them is seen wearing a different outfit by mistake, either in their undergarments or wearing a pink gorilla outfit.
64	** Whenever Candace keeps insisting on taking the Yellow Sidewalk instead of Phineas and Ferb's fun way, the rest of her party all reluctantly reply with, "Yes, Candace."
65	* SelfParody: The end credits song is a parody of "Busted" called "Rusted", which Candace sings about the Tin Man.
66	* StayOnThePath: Invoked by Candace, but turns out to be averted in practice. She insists on following the yellow sidewalk as Isabella told her, and ignores Phineas and Ferb's more "fun" travel ideas...only for her to realize she really just missed out on fun, and nothing bad would have happened had she gone with her brothers. Turns out Isabella tells ''everyone'' going to Bustopolis to follow that sidewalk.
67	* StockAudioClip: When Candace is chased by the flying squirrels (squirrels piloting airplanes), Candace yells, "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbCometKermillian Squirrels! Squirrels!]]"
68	* SubvertedCatchphrase: Since he never learned Perry the Platypus' name, when the gang escapes, Doofenwitch[[note]]"Not witch! WARLOCK!"[[/note]] simply says, "Curse you!" before fumbling over more words.
69	* TaughtByExperience: After finally reaching Bustopolis, Candace yet rejects the fun option Phineas and Ferb offer her to get to the wizard's tower. Her traveling companions, having dealt with all her previous rejections only causing them misery, opt for the fun way this time.
70	* {{Toilet Humour}}: The last shot during the credits is the bear taking a dump behind a tree seen during "Tree-Related Wish" saying, "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Does_a_bear_shit_in_the_woods Yes. Yes I do.]]"
71	* TheUnreveal: Elements such as Perry being a secret agent and characters that Candace has never met such as Doof and Monogram appear in Candace's dream. It is not revealed if or how she knows about these things, unlike her [[Recap/PhineasAndFerbPhineasAndFerbGetBusted previous dream]], which was a DreamWithinADream by Perry.
72	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Candace does not seem the least bit bothered by the sight of her brothers' pet platypus standing upright and wearing a fedora. But as soon as he approaches her friends, as a CallBack to a semi-recurring gag, the first thing ''they'' ask about is the hat.
73	-->'''Nerdcrow''': Look! It is Candace's pet platypus. Has he always had that hat?
74	* VisualPun: One of Doof's minions is a MixAndMatchCritter between a spider and a monkey, or a spider monkey if you will.
75	-->'''Doofenwitch''': Or maybe a monkey spider. I don't know ''what'' he is.
76	* {{Wedgie}}: Hanging Wedgie. Nerd-Crow, like all other nerdy scarecrows, hangs from a pole by his underwear to keep the crows away. Later, when being chased by the flying squirrels, the Nerd-Crow quips, "I wish I was still hanging by my underwear!", and when he is captured by the planes and he gets his wish.
77	-->'''Nerd-Crow''': Just kidding!
78	* WholePlotReference: To ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin nonetheless]].
