I have a brilliant idea! This "TV Tropes and Idioms" website has a namespace for "Wild Mass Guessing". If I travel to a dimension where my daily life is a popular show on television, it would be simple to make such a page for that show. Once the locals are complacent, I can enter a guess as to what the secret weakness of Perry the Platypus is, wait for one of the wild, mass responses to be confirmed, and use that weakness to defeat Perry the Platypus and take over the Entire Tri-state Area!note
Wild Mass Guessing for Phineas and Ferb.
Wow, there's even this "Wild Mass Guessing" for both of the movies now... note
Phineas and Ferb
- Actually, Word of God says that the next season will take place next summer.
- What the crap kind of elementary school has summer vacations that are 104 days long, anyway? More like 74.
- They used to be longer. Three months was once the standard, which is 90 days, and 104 isn't that much longer than that. Maybe Danville's school board is behind the times.
- What the crap kind of elementary school has summer vacations that are 104 days long, anyway? More like 74.
- Jossed by Dan Povenmire, who says that 2 or 3 episodes might take place in the same day.
- For those curious, the show's episode count is now nearly 200note
- Double jossed in Doof 101. It's set partially at Vanessa's high school, and Phineas and Ferb are shown tricking out the playground during their own school's recess, effectively meaning the series CAN continue past the beginning of school.
The trigger word could be "where's Perry", possibly canceled by "he's right here" and maybe "there you are, Perry" to keep his cover from being blown. There's not much evidence to support it, but the only evidence against is that he chittered once as Agent P in Candace's body.
- Jossed, many episodes he's already gone before they say "Where's Perry?"
- It could be triggered by his hat, and he simply has had his brain tweaked just enough that he can put it on in times of danger, or the hat does so itself.
- Also Jossed. In one episode, we see him watching a soap opera, crying, and moving like a human being without his hat on.
- For any Futurama fans, there is an episode where the scientist creates a hat that makes a monkey intelligent. Maybe he made the hats for all of the Danville animals, and then trained them to put it on when they are scared.
- However Futurama is set about a thousand years or so after Phineas and Ferb.
- Sort of Jossed in that the koi had to be made into agents. However, it's possible that they just didn't think that koi would be particularly useful agents and didn't bother with them in particular.
- It did say pets, and the koi fish were wild.
- You are overlooking the fact that the other pet platypi aren't specifically said to be agents.
- Suzy's poodle is almost definitely not one.
- Jossed In the beginning of "Nerds of a Feather," unless it's possible that he shows up so much, he really is starting to become a part of Candace's subconscious. Or maybe he just showed up to keep up the facade
- Jossed They find one in :Last Train to Bustville.
- That...is awesome.
- Jossed, it was sung by someone else.
- Sounds like a good idea for a little sad fanfic.
- Jossed. The Familiy Christmas Special shows that he is very much alive.
- Phineas is actually Adam Savage and Ferb is Jamie Hyneman. The show is loosely based on their childhood together, although the events where changed to make them more believable.
- Tory Belleci is actually Bufford, Kari Byron is Isabella, and Grant Imahara is Baljeet. They're ethnicities were slightly altered.


- Cue an epic "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight!
- Jossed.
- Yeah. They really just reduced Venom to a superpowered thug in that episode. Literally every other villain got more lines then him, and Whiplash was mostly reduced to comic relief. Oh well, still more than Sam Rami gave him.
- Jossed.
- The trailer seems to imply she just wants the heroes to read them. (And Spidey giving a Leaning on the Fourth Wall joke) Doesn't exactly joss this, though.
- Jossed. The Leaning Onthe Fourth Wall moment was the only part to mention fanfiction.
- Jossed.
- The event where GLaDOS flooded the Aperture Science facility with neurotoxin took place in 1998, meaning it happened way before the events of the show. However, there are alternate dimensions...
- This. Just this. Springfield and Danville are in fantastically in a large place. Danville must be in North Takoma.
- Or maybe Kentucky.
- Or Springfield is in the Tri-State area! There!
- Except of course that "Phineas and Ferb get busted" isnt the end of thr series and they dont even get busted in that episode anyway as it was all a dream.
Phineas certainly acts spark-like at times, having that crazy-peppy focus right after he knows what they're going to do today, and especially in certain scenes such as the Haunted House episode's musical sequence. And he does seem to have a way with getting people to go along with him by just talking to them, most notably "Yes, yes I am".
Doofenshmirtz may also be a spark, but a weaker one. His specialty is not technology, but genetics (or something similar that involves cloning, uglyinating, and other weird biological effects), since he can't tell the difference between a Death Ray and a giant sundae machine.
- Doofenshmirtz isn't weak at all. Heck, he can create a device that attracts wood like a magnet does metal.
- Obviously, Ferb is also a Spark.
- Of course not, Ferb is a construct. That's why he speaks so little and has an accent: Because it's more difficult to make something with the vocal dexterity to talk than something built just for welding and tight spaces, he has to focus a lot to do so.
- Sorry, mis-phrased that. I meant to say he had a biology specialty, and was weaker in mechanics. And Ferb isn;t a Spark, he's a Time Lord who accidentally went to the Heterodynes' dimension and brought back Phineas. Side theory: Ferb commisioned Doofenshmirtz to build his and Phineas' family.
- So, theoretically, Doofenshmirtz would actually succeed much more often if he stopped trying to work in your typical 'evil genius' area of mechanics and switched over to cloning an army or something?
- He tried that. It went about as well as anything else he does.
- Only because he decided to put a Delete All button on it, which Perry pressed. It seems to be common for Sparks to put features on their inventions because they could, no matter how silly and petard-catching said feature may be.
- While all the Geniuses in Danville are Artificers, Phineas and Ferb (and probably Baljeet) are Staunens, while Doof is a Neid. We don't really know enough about Poofenplotz to place her.
- Also, Phineas and Ferb have a tendency to Kitbash their wonders, which is why they fall apart after a set amount of time, usually at a point where Candace is around.
- They build a giant airplane out of folded paper that flies them 2000 miles before disintegrating. I repeat, a folded paper airplane. Definitely kitbashing.
- We see normal, presumably un-Inspired people interacting with P & F's inventions. See "Rollercoaster," where a bunch of children are shown riding (and therefore touching) the coaster.
- Phineas is an unmada, with the worldview that 'Summer Belongs To You', so his wonders remain stable while within his unmada field.
- They build a giant airplane out of folded paper that flies them 2000 miles before disintegrating. I repeat, a folded paper airplane. Definitely kitbashing.
- Ahem.
- caused this troper to face palm before even clicking the link, cus I know exactly where it's going. Maybe Phineas IS the doctor and Ferb is the current companion.
- So the Doctor finally got his Ginger Hair
- And Isabella can be River
- And considering that The Doctor seems to be getting younger and younger with each regeneration, him becoming a tween by the time he reaches his thirteenth incarnation doesn't seem too far fetched.
- The boys are able to make their technology Bigger on the Inside. Clearly Time Lords.
- That could explain the Time Shift episodes.
- caused this troper to face palm before even clicking the link, cus I know exactly where it's going. Maybe Phineas IS the doctor and Ferb is the current companion.
- Weird hair colour? Check.
- Speaks rarely and only to certain people? Check.
- When he talks, it's just one or two words that others probably would never use? Check.
- Extremely intelligent? Check.
- Shows almost no emotion? Check.
- Very caring in the inside and expresses a crush on another character in a weird way? Check.
- Next to an excitable person who is constantly bored and wants something to do? Check.
There are WAY to many similarities to Nagato Yuki. He may have been sent to observe Phineas, who often has some pretty weird ideas and lots of energy. Maybe he's another candidate for godhood, besides Haruhi.
- The problem is, Ferb is being similar to Yuki and only Yuki, whose original purpose was not as Haruhi's primary observer. The one who was originally the observer, Ryouko, had a ton of personality.
- Ryouko was programmed to display emotion but her true "feelings" were different. Just listen to her image song.
- The problem is, Ferb is being similar to Yuki and only Yuki, whose original purpose was not as Haruhi's primary observer. The one who was originally the observer, Ryouko, had a ton of personality.
- And Candace is Haruhi Suzumiya.
- Candace uses her own powers to keep from busting her brothers for using the powers she herself gave them. This is why the vanishing evidence trick is split second coordinated with her own actions. This can only be averted when she is up against an equal power, and only she herself is her own equal. The easiest proof of this are the many many plots that hinge on Candace not noticing that something has been switched. She will gladly run all over town, but keeps herself from noticing that she's carrying the wrong photograph all that time.
- Phineas is the esper and is sure to always praise his sister so she doesn't make closed spaces.
- Isabella kept a timelooped copy of the time machine and is the time traveler.
- Jeremy only keeps up a pleasant facade. Internally he's really The Snark Knight. He's only using Candace so he can spy on her brothers. (Take note of how much more closely he watches them than her.)
- Van Doof is the Sasaki or alternative goddess, which is why the things that Heinz and Phineas build are usually in conflict. (These things are operating as proxies of the two goddesses.)
- 8The items on that list could be indicators that Ferb is a Vulcan. He has a weird hair color because the Vulcans who sent him to earth disguised him improperly. He almost never speaks because he failed to learn as much English as those around him. Being a Vulcan might also explain his extreme intelligence, and definitely explains his lack of emotion. Also explains him giving Buford the Vulcan nerve pinch. As for the crush on Vanessa, Vulcans are capable of love, at least according to Star Trek (2009).
- Hm... That doesn't belong exactly here, but maybe the Vulcans are an evolved form of rebelling Interfaces? They are biological and have been shown to be capable of turning against their programming (like Ryoko and latter Yuki).
- A bit Jossed in "Invasion of the Ferb-snatchers", though we do know that he wasn't stereotypically an alien. And he looks like his grandfather Reginald, so he might be a half-alien.
- Actually, the episode suggests that Ferb is still a human, but invaded by an alien. In this case, Ferb is an alien, or a half one, that is.
- Well, in the episode Ladies and Gentlemen, He is Max Modem!'s song "It is an Alien", it might hint that Lawrence had an alien girlfriend before marrying Linda. And maybe they produced Ferb.
- To clarify the above, "Alien Heart" is called "She's/It's Alien" in Spanish.
- Also, in the ending "Mommy Can You Hear Me?", Ferb looks very alien-like.
- The entire series actually takes place during the Summer of the Endless Eight explaining why it lasts far more than the hundred and four days mentioned in the theme song (which is already rather long).
- Nah, it's too bright and happy to be Lovecraft Country.
- Don't Candace and Phineas differ from Linda because they have the InnsmouthLook and she doesn't?
The OWCA is actually an experimental subsidiary of the OSI that has been working with animals as a quick and cheap way for creating a mass surge of agents. These agents are used to combat and neutralize the lowest echelons of the Guild of Calamitous Intent, specifically those who are either incredibly minor threats or the most incompetent members within the Guild.
This way, the more efficient human agents of the OSI don't have to bother with the pathetic peons that make up the lowest ranks of the Guild, and the Guild doesn't have to worry about their lowest ranked members bitching and whining about having a nemesis, as they'll be busy duking it out with their animal foes.
<Ian_Maxwell>: Phineas and Ferb do things that stomp all over understood science. They're Keter-level themselves.
- The O.W.C.A. could be an SCP. Unusually intelligent animals would certainly be anomalous enough.
- Compare Harold to Carl. Is This Troper the only one who somehow gets the feeling they're related?
- Carl might even be related to Beth.
- How about Trent? He's one of the teenagers who like the major (Carl to Monogram; and Trent to Chris).
- Vanessa and Gwen catch online.
- Sierra and Irving are best friends.
- Let's say that Major Monogram and Chris McLean are related, based on the fact that they deliberately break rules, and care about their lifestyles.
- Candace could ask Heather for help on busting her brothers, knowing that Heather got many people eliminated on "Total Drama".
- Anne Maria and Mindy (the same girl who took a picture of Candace/Vanessa in "Hail Doofania") fight over the same man.
- And as of World Tour, we even have another similarity—both involve characters who can break into ad hoc musical numbers!
Think about it; They have the same hat, they have groupies, main enemy is a Mad Scientist, they have an Alliterative Name, and started their series in 2007.
- Also, they both have an evil robotic counterpart.
- Baljeet is Ma-Ti.
- Irving is The Nostalgia Critic
- Isabella is The Nostalgia Chick
- Sakaki was involved in the recruiting process.
- Word of God says that none of their projects will be "Magical" in nature.
- One fan's superscience is another fan's magic.
- "WITCHCRAFT!" Buford knows more than he's letting on.
- All good and well, except; the Harry Potter stories take place during the 1990's, with the Battle of Hogwarths occuring around may 1998, while Phineas and Ferb takes place in present time, probably barely 10 years after the Battle of Hogwarths. Only Fred dies during the Battle for Hogwards. George survives and lives on for many years afterwards, so how can he reincarnate alongside his brother?.
Phineas and Adam both come up with most of the crazy/wild stuff, Jamie and Ferb are the ones usually shown actually designing/building something.
Candace's obsession with 'busting' is meant to be a clue.
- Then Isabella, Buford, and Baljeet would be Kari, Tory, and Grant.
- Phineas and Adam both have red hair. Jamie has no hair, but it might be green. And he wears a beret because he's an alien!
- This troper loves this idea
- Maybe, they're just both the Five-Man Band.
- The creators said in an interview once that they watch the Mythbusters! There, it's proof!
That would make the Adam/Jamie "Fan Art" extra squicky...
- Nah, stepbrothers, remember?
- When Dr. Doofenshmirtz get his work published at Evil Beat Magazine. (A Journal parody)
- The inventions that Doofenshmirtz make are kind of helpful, for example the ray to accelerate aging for cheese.
- Cut Lex Luthor a Check.
- The cheese-aging ray was to help with his cheese-making hobby while taking a break from evil schemes that Perry the Platypus would just ruin anyway. Not an evil scheme in and of itself until Perry's arrival and subsequent glutting of the entire cheese made him mad enough to think of the possible evil applications, so I guess you could say that episode inverted Cut Lex Luthor a Check? (Or inverted the aversion? Double Subverted, maybe.)
- Perry being too light with his nemesis.
- Doofenshmirtz explanation for a fake doctorate. (Similar to the Nagib Callaos scam)
- Doofenshmirtz Institute of Evilology (A reference to the fake IEEE scam conferences of Nagib Callaos)
- Wait, does that mean when Dr Doofenshmirtz erased everyone's memory of the aglets, it erased The Question's memory as well?
- There was a comic book where the Question got put under mind control, but was so paranoid that he caught on to the fact. Presumably the same thing happened.
... Yeah.
- This theory made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to die.
That would explain why they are expected to Wrestle alligators and build Race Cars,Time Machines, etc..
- I demand a crossover fanfic.
- While we are on the subject of KND, Candace was previously a remember before..well you know, and works for the teenagers, hence the busting.
- They are obviously the Girl Scouts of the Kids Next Door. I don't however see this working for Phineas and Ferb. I mean why would they not contribute their inventions to the Kids Next Door?
- Easy— they're a neutral party. (Notice that they didn't take part in the F Games— it would have been over before it even started) We still don't know how old they are, but it's a definite possibility that they're on the cusp of teenager-dom and don't want to put a stop to anyone's creativity once they reach that age. Or you could say that they're just building stuff FOR SCI-- ...fun.
- But Baljeet's a human! Wait...we are talking about the same Raj, right?
- Baljeet's surname is Raj, according to the "Letters to Santa" bonus feature on the DVD A Very Perry Christmas.
- But Word of God has retracted this. Look it up, i'm lazy.
- Actually, Word of God was that it was "Rai" and that was what was retracted. "Raj" is presumably the replacement for "Rai."
- But Word of God has retracted this. Look it up, i'm lazy.
You heard me.
- So Candace is into hentai?
I don't even like Fullmetal Alchemist, nor Anime in general, it's just that everyone else seems to come up with this stuff.
- Right, I'll go tell Baljeet to stay away from Amazon delivery girls who wear rollerskates and change their hairstyle frequently.
...Stop looking at me like that.
- Oh god that makes so much sense. No, really.
- Isn't his mom a little alive for that? But maybe one of the Robins...Damnian Wayne grown up? And Irving is the clone Talia made of him?!
- I think he's been there for a while.
- Fridge Horror: Don't his powers have some negative side-effects?
- ...Doofenshmirz blows up a lot, no?
- He even wears the glasses.
- I just died.
- You're kidding. I know this is WMG, where all logic, rational thinking, and traditional thought patterns are flushed down the toilet, crumpled, smashed, torn apart, melted, reformed, torn apart again, taped together, and burned, but... seriously?! You've taken modern politics and put them to shame!




- No, wait! Lawrence isn't Dexter's dad, because Lawrence isn't Phineas's or Candace's biological father. In the P&F universe, Dexter's mom gets married twice.
- The only problem being that one exists in a humans-only universe and the other in a...Disney world. Quack Pack partially averts this, but PnF never shows Disney-Folk.
- "Disney Anthros" Earth is another planet, possibly the origin of the OWCA's founders. The Fireside Girl and Junior Woodchuck Handbooks are offshoots of The Hitchhikers Guidetothe Galaxy tailored to the organization's planet by the group's leaders.
- Been watching Conan, eh?
- No, just some post saying that he thought that Perry was an Angry Bird.
- Miserable Childhood? check
- Abusive Parents? check
This is why his childhood makes little sense. He has gaps in his memory that involved his fairies.
There are three possible candidates as to what his fairies where
1. Balloony: this is why Balloony was Doofenshmirtz's best friend, he was his fairy disguised as a balloon (A fairy with an odd face, at that.) The reason he floated away was because young Heinz accidentally revealed his fairy. The reason Balloony changed was because he is know just a normal balloon.
2. Doof's Giant pet cockroach, Hoarfrost: This is why Hoarfrost was what made Doofenshmirtz's childhood bearable, he was Doof's Fairy Godparent.
3. Ocelots: They where his parental substitutes, after all...
- That's brilliant.
- Fixed your grammar. HEIL SYNTAX!
- I smell a Fan Fic!
- Forgot to mention that Candace is described as "flighty and unfocused" (ADHD, anyone?) while Phineas, despite being a genius, writes the letter "P" backwards in his own name—a telltale sign of dyslexia.
- It's only once. In "Oil on Candace" Phineas' signature had the letter "P" facing the right way.
- Well, dyslexics aren't consistent with their mistakes. - OP
- Further evidence:
- As mentioned in another WMG, "Phineas" and "Candace" are names derived from Greek. (Ferb's name, too, could be derived from Greek—after all, we don't know what it's short for.)
- Phineas comes from Hebrew, not Greek.
- Phineas is interested in such things as Trojan War reenactments and Greek-style chariot races. Despite being practically fearless, he reacts with fear when confronted with what he thinks is "the Minotaur!" (Coincidentally, the Minotaur was one of the first monsters Percy Jackson faced.)
- In The Movie Ferb is shown to have fallen asleep reading The Odyssey. (In the original Greek?) He's also the one who (quite randomly) informs Phineas that "gladiators were Roman, not Greek."
- The statue of Medusa resembles Candace, and when you consider that Everyone Is Related in Greek mythology...
- In The Lost Hero, Jason is commenting on a few of the surrounding cities (in California), and he happens to mention "Danville".
- The original Phineas from Greek mythology appeared in The Son of Neptune. On the day of the book tour that this detail was announced, Vincent Martella made a guest appearance. Phineas' scene in the book mentions the name "Perry" for no particular reason.
- As mentioned in another WMG, "Phineas" and "Candace" are names derived from Greek. (Ferb's name, too, could be derived from Greek—after all, we don't know what it's short for.)
- The boys and Candace have been safe from monsters so far because of a) Perry the Platypus, b) the boy's building abilities (they'd mow those demons down), c) Some Mysterious Force, or d) all of the above. Besides, they'd rather spend their summers in the backyard then at Camp Half-Blood, and as long as they're taken care of, right?
- Coming from the Calvinand Hobbes WMG page, there's a theory that Phineas and Ferb, Calvin, and Ben 10 are all related. This just makes it more awesome.
This is why he's the only Phhineas and Ferb Tsum
- If the timelines are the same (Recess is late 90s, Phineas and Ferb is late 2000s/early 2010s) this would make the Gretchen from Recess a teenage mother, which this troper can't imagine her being. A cousin is more likely.

In this case it's safe to assume the boys are not the only Creators in the cast. We'll assume Doof is one (and also thinks he's building normally), and probably uses his magic A LOT, being the Cloudcuckoolander he is. We should also assume Umineko is like Inception so this all makes more sense. You don't necessarily have to believe in magic (in a literal sense), you just have to believe something is possible and actually happening.
And this all leads me to Linda. It'd seem she may also be able to produce enough anti-magic toxin to erase or ruin Creations made by any of the above, essentially the opposite of a Weirdness Magnet; after all, she never sees what the boys are doing, no matter how absurd the activity or how hard Candace tries to show her, and the flashback with her and Doof on a blind date shows his invention not working at all and even exploding if I remember correctly, unlike pretty much everything else we've seen him build which functions properly and mainly fails because he puts a Self-Destruct Mechanism on it or something. From an Anti-Fantasy stance only what she sees is actually real, from a Pro-Fantasy stance, she just never sees it. From an Inception stance, it's not real for her but for everyone else it's there. She probably believes all of these things can be done, just not that they'd actually happen (least not on a regular basis). It's likely she doesn't actually recognize Perry as real but plays along with the kids anyway, which would suppress her anti-magic toxin, allowing him to stick around. Since she doesn't believe, she's prone to releasing toxin and the Creations are never there when she's around, but on some rare occasions she will believe and see thanks to circumstances (which almost always ends badly for some reason).
And speaking of Perry, he's the product of multiple streams of magic affecting each of his personas. Mindless Pet Mode comes from P&F, who think of him as a cute pet who, of course, doesn't do much, not counting going missing all the time (Anti-Fantasy would state that he's a toy they're always losing), and Agent P comes from Doof, who was lonely and thinking of secret agent platypi for some reason. Since everyone seems to believe either of those personas could be real and actually exist (except again Linda)/have a Weirdness Censor, both of them thus exist. No idea what this says about Carl and Major Monogram, but their perceptions are probably why both personas are the same person...er, platypus.
As for Candace, I dunno, but she's definitely trying to show Linda for...some reason. It's pretty clear she believes, but unlike everyone else she seems to think that very thing she believes in is a bad thing. Either she's trying to take advantage of Linda's anti-magic toxin or she's doing the same thing she does without influence from this theory.
Yeah, I think that's it.
- They can also be Loopers, if the show operates in a time loop. This can explain the Alien Ferb episode.
note
- Linda will react horribly like in "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted" (but up to eleven)
- Doof will take over. And be a tyrant, of course. (Also Up To Eleven)
- (insert some other horrible effect here...after taking it Up To Eleven)
This, along with having to spend all her time fighting witches instead of supporting her relationships, will completely darken her Soul Gem and she will turn into a witch. "Quantum Boogaloo" takes place in a timeline where she doesn't contract.
- Disney is almost bound to bring together its two biggest cartoons. If they were able to meet the Marvel superheroes in person, then this is very likely.
- Doofenshmirtz's scheme may be involved with the gnomes that almost married Mabel. Dipper and Candace will talk about how they can never get their elders to see the weird stuff going on. Jeremy will perform in a band with Robbie. And there will be some sort of portal between Gravity Falls and Danville; where characters from P&F begin to take the GF animation style, and vise versa.
- However unlike Linda who doesn't see nor know about the weird stuff that goes on... As revealed in season 2, Grunkle Stan KNEW ALL ALONG about the weird stuff in Gravity Falls but lies about it to Dipper and Mabel just to keep them safe.
- Doofenshmirtz's scheme may be involved with the gnomes that almost married Mabel. Dipper and Candace will talk about how they can never get their elders to see the weird stuff going on. Jeremy will perform in a band with Robbie. And there will be some sort of portal between Gravity Falls and Danville; where characters from P&F begin to take the GF animation style, and vise versa.
- I doubt this one given both the commercial rivalry as well as the Fandom Rivalry, and on the off-chance it somehow does happen most of the fandom will go "Hell no".
- Considering how defensive both Viacom and Disney are of their properties, this would probably never come to fruition.
[
- Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus keep moving Danville during their battles, and everyone is just used to it.
The mom had a hit single that was being translated into some twenty-odd languages, so she must be known in at least twenty countries with different primary languages....
- Phineas' mom's car was also identified by Isabella as "a massive source of power", even after they used its battery to power a homemade space shuttle's battery, though I don't know if this was before or after they first modified the car.
- Um, The "Massive power source" was Doof's Giant robot, But Phineas and Ferb could not see the giant robot, so they assumed it was the car.
- After, if the episodes' airing date is anything to go by.
- Why not just assume that Baldegunde and Candace's mothers are identical twins? This would explain the Druselsteinian elements in Linda's cooking. (Or she could have picked that up from the immigrants or her own time abroad.)
- Note that in real life "tri-state area" most commonly refers to New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut (or at least that's what Google searches lead me to believe).
- It's also worth noting that the borders on the map of the Tri-State Area in "Flop Starz" don't coincide with any real borders, except maybe a stylized depiction of the borders of Nebraska, South Dakota, and Iowa.
- Note that in real life "tri-state area" most commonly refers to New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut (or at least that's what Google searches lead me to believe).
It would certainly fit his sense of humor by referring to the entire country by term for a small region.
- Which actually explains the entirety of Roller-Coaster: The Musical. Phineas wasn't simply being savvy, before suggesting the plan to Ferb he cranked the machine up to eleven!
- Can't say anything definite, since we don't know a lot about the movie, but that seems a little like a Broken Aesop in this context. If you look up Mrs. Doubtfire on the latter's page, you'll see a point about how "Sometimes, people are better parents if they are divorced.", which fits the show itself, since it was an attempt to portray a happy blended family. In Heinz and Charlene's case, the Hard Truth Aesop page also covers another point: it would give a false hope to kids whose parents have divorced. So I'm not prematurely saying that this is Jossed, I'm just trying to think it all the way through— you know, because the writers think of everything.
Alternatively...
- Semi-confirmed - he gets sent to Africa, but he doesn't go and save the boys.
It's be a funny Brick Joke
- In the Christmas Special, it is revealed that there is World Peace.
- Asuming the upcomming Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel special will be canon, P&F is aparently part of the Marvel Multiverse (most likely not Earth 616, but still a universe in which several Marvel characters live). And the Marvel Universe features multiple villains that are a far greater threat than Doofenshmirtz will ever be, so to call their world a utopia would be an overstatement. Organisations like OWCA probably only deal with the lesser threats so that the worlds superheroes can focus on the realy dangerous villains like Dr. Doom, so Doofenshmirtz is not really the greatest threat to national security, but just the greatest threat that still falls under OWCA jurisdiction. Plus, there is no reason to believe that real life dangers like terrorism don't excist in the P&F universe; we just never see these kind of things (again because this doesn't fall under OWCA's jurisdiction).
- About solving the world's problems: if P&F is set in a Marvel Universe, Reed Richards Is Useless is most likely in full effect, explaining why they never use their talents to solve any real world problems.
- Another possibility is that they rebuilt the car into some sort of TARDIS. I refer you to the racecar episode when Ferb is seen stuffing a massive engine into the relatively tiny car. If they could hide a huge amount of machinery under the hood, the car could go much faster, thus allowing for widespread travel.
- As a Doctor Who fan I like this...and toy with ideas like Time Lord tech was used in the Haunted House and Fort episodes
- Simply put, the Flynns are aliens. Or at least Ferb's side of the family.
- First; when Max Modem sings 'she has an alien heart' for Lindana, does this sound very romantic unless you realize that he is an alien and that to him, her heart is alien?
- Second; apparently, Phineas and Candace are on one side of the family and Ferb's their stepbrother. Why haven't their parents had another kid? Incompatible biology that's why.
- Third; As demonstrated by Doofenshmirtz, aliens can be summoned by guitar music. The entire family is extremely gifted musically, and we can see each of them playing a guitar at at least one point.
- Fourth; Phineas only seems to be the driving point, the brother who motivates Ferb. Ferb is the real genius of the two (in the future episode, Ferb wins a Nobel prize while Phineas runs a camp). If Phineas ever works it is beside Ferb, never alone. As we can see, Ferb fixes Meap's spaceship really quickly, and accomplishes feats impossible for a boy his age without changing his expression. Because he is wearing a mask, and therefore incapable of expression.
- In the future episode they say Phineas is at Camp David....as in...He's the President of the United States.... though that doesn't necessarily say much about intelligence it IS better than running a camp
- Um, actually, FERB was at Camp David and PHINEAS was receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
- On top of that, Ferb wasn't even born in the U.S., (he was born in Britain.) So Phineas and Ferb are so awesome, the U.S. actually amended its Constitution to let Ferb become president? Seems legit.
- Do I really have to say more here? Given the fact that Ferb's dad doesn't even blink when he discovers the boys have turned the garage upside down, and the speed at which his grandfather adjusts to having his legs on backwards (maybe their legs are fake?) it's clear that Ferb's side of the family are aliens.
- I'm not quibbling with the underlying theory, which certainly would explain a few things, but just to clarify: being at Camp David
is really REALLY not the same thing as "running a camp," plus it was Ferb that was at Camp David (see other WMGs about Vanessa becoming the President) while Phineas was receiving a prize in Switzerland (presumably not the Nobel since that's in Sweden).
- I like the above troper, he or she makes me happy
- It was the Nobel. Candace was carelessly mixing up Switzerland and Sweden, as we geography-challenged products of American schools are prone to do.
- It is worth noting that Ferb is "British" and therefore not a accepteble canditate for the Presidency. He is more likely a high level government official.
- His backstories are tainted by his recollection of how they happened, rather than how they actually happened, or may even be completely made up to make a better
excusemotivation for his plot du jour.- This neatly accounts for the contradictions between his flashbacks.
- Was his mother's love really inexplicably linked to kickball, or did Roger just get enough attention due to winning kickball trophies to make it seem that way?
- Probably the latter.
- Ma Doofenshmirtz's love was inexplicably linked to kickball in the same way that Heinz's constant failures are inexplicably linked to his installing a self-destruct button on everything. And the way falling is inexplicably linked to the force of gravity.
- Ma Doofenshmirtz's love is inexplicably linked to Roger, and nothing else. Thinking it had something to do with kickball skills (or whatever rationalization he's currently entertaining) keeps Heinz from realizing that there was no reason whatsoever for his Unfavorite status in the family, and nothing he did, said, or achieved would ever have earned him his parents' love.
- Or she really did love kickball (and probably convinced Roger to play), but she still wouldn't have given a crap about Heinz anyway note . But he wasn't aware of that second part and thought he could appeal to her through something she loved, even though it wouldn't have changed anything. note
- Clearly, it was a Doof-Bot.
- Assuming the real Doof made it, wouldn't it be a Doofinator? Then again, Norm was never an -inator...
- Or maybe a Negative Continuity -inator!
- Jossed, sort of, in the episode "Oh, There You Are, Perry." Candace is looking for Perry, and runs into someone with a pet beaver. Candace finds this weird, but the other woman tells her that a pet platypus is just as weird, which Candace agrees with.
- but in that same episode, Phineas says that "everyone knows that platypi are suppose to stay inside at night" not only implying that this is common knowledge but since they're suppose to stay inside would also insinuate that many people own platypi.
- Or that platypi goes into burrows at night.
- My little corner of Fanon assumes that it's like the cat people <-> dog people thing in Real Life. Platypode are more like cats, and beavers are comparative to, say, an unusual breed of dog. ("You have a pet dachshund? That's a bit odd, aren't they usually for winnowing small game from their burrows?" "You have a pet cat. Aren't they usually used for... I don't know, keeping down mice and not doing much?" "Touché.") Isabella's chihuahua is comparative to a chinchilla. Somewhat unusual, but not really something that comment-worthy since they're primarily known for being pets (especially since a chihuahua-fur coat would be nowhere near as silky as chinchilla-fur). But I'm probably overthinking it (Doesn't Really Bug Me: Why is it that MST3K Mantra and creating elaborate webs of fanon are the best, or at least most common ways to think about Phineas and Ferb, and not the middle ground?)
- Isn't that typical of any series that runs on nonsensoleum?
- Maybe the woman finds a pet platypus weird because they're usually wild.
- That's what I thought, too. It's like squirrels—they're everywhere in plenty of towns, but keeping one as a pet would be considered unusual. And if you met someone who owned a squirrel, you might take it as a hint that the person was a bit exciting and unconventional...
- but in that same episode, Phineas says that "everyone knows that platypi are suppose to stay inside at night" not only implying that this is common knowledge but since they're suppose to stay inside would also insinuate that many people own platypi.
- The Steve convention in 'The Lizard Whisperer' may suggest this.
- Also note what appears to be Conversational Troping (specifically, Hoist by His Own Petard) in this
interview (about 7:05).
- For even more proof, the first 5 minutes of the movie was shown an Comic Con. The first song is called "Everything's Better With Perry".
- In "Isabella and the Temple of Sap", Gretchen uses a certain word to get a "Saying A Word No One Else In The Room Knows" patch. The word? Sesquipedalian. Really, where else could they have gotten that from?
- A dictionary? A trivia book of obscure words? A Classical Languages class?
- Confirmed by way of this troper sending Swampy an email asking if this was true. It is.
- Which now brings up the follow-up question: How much of "One of Us" are they?
- Maybe they'll mine Wild Mass Guessing when they start to run out of ideas.
- Which now brings up the follow-up question: How much of "One of Us" are they?
- I mean, a troper always dreams of this, especially one that loves it when writers take and interest in their fans.... I wonder how many of the ideas everyone loves are theirs?
- In Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon, Dr. Doofenshmirtz says it is too soon to make a Call-Back. That is all.
- I also got that impression, with Candace having the main dream and then Perry having the one at the end too.
- ...leading to the Fridge Horror of Perry and/or the O.W.C.A. having to wipe Candace's memory of her dream to prevent the relocation... thus destroying her knowledge of her epiphany that she's secretly proud of her brothers for their creativity. Ouch.
- You mean... Like some sort of a cosmic writing staff, that wants to keep the universe going for another season and need to keep Phineas, Ferb, and anyone who cares about them (except Candace, mostly) in a good mood? That's a bit far-fetched, don't you think?
- This is WILD mass guess. No theory is too far-fetched!
- From the standpoint of, were the world not fictional, then, but still unchanged.
- If that force has a name, then that name could only be God.
- Or Santa Claus. In the Christmas special he manipulated Doofenshmirtz and all of the other major characters to set up a chain of events which would end with all of them having achieved their Christmas wishes. Too bad Isabella is Jewish, and therefore didn't make her own Phineas-related request to Santa...
- If not for the "since Doof was born" clause, that force could be Phineas and/or Ferb themselves, subconsciously keeping their fantastic adventures confined to afternoon amusement. Hey, they're already Reality Warper material...
- Unless they can also manipulate time. After all, time is just another dimension of space according to most theories. I'd be more concerned about what's going to happen to Doof once the boys are old enough that Linda would be fine with them doing what they're doing.
- As of the movie, Candace believes that there's a "mysterious force" causing all the inventions to be cleared away (and in the deleted scenes, there's a whole song about it).
- On his mother's side, or his father's side?
- More likely his father's side, since he's the meaner one, but if you talk about genetics, it's his mom, since they have the same nose.
- Along with genetics, D's mom may have recognized stuff in her son that she'd seen in her hybrid dad, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. She sided with D's dad in punishments to develop her errant son's comic side, at least so he'd survive as a Toon. Notice how the future Dr. was punished much more than his "normal" brother, yet in absurd ways such as being a lawn gnome.
- It makes sense because in that universe, Mad Scientists are the only ones with real power. But then again you have "Mitch" -who isn't a scientist but an evil overlord. "Venom" -depending on which version, Eddie Brock was an intern for Dr. Conners.
On a related subject, Joseph later founded a school in the Tri-State Area: Joseph W. Alimentary Junior High, which does tend to cause some confusion when people refer to it by its abbreviated name of "Joseph Alimentary".
- That may explain why they never mention their absent parents. Because they only had one parent to begin with and, thus, wouldn't have any need to mention them in the first place. The mitosis theory may also go hand-in-hand with the brothers being aliens from another planet.
- In "Summer Belongs to You", the two do recognize and casually chat with each other.
- Vanessa and Candace both have to avoid mentioning anything about a platypus named Perry.
- This isn't a WMG, this is canon. Have you seen "It's About Time"?
- Yes. Yes I have. That enforces this.
- Then how do you explain Perry and Doofenshmirtz?
- She needs to justify how the amazing things they do in her delusion are wiped out. Or maybe is kind of a plot element to mock Candace. She is jealous that Candace has something closer to a boyfriend... so she creates the Perry story so Candace never got proof to bust Phineas and Ferb. However... is still unclear for me the Ferb and Vanessa moments. Maybe Ferb is her kind of "draft" for some parts in the story that involve Phineas and her.
- Jossed. Several episodes didn't have her appear in it at all, and if so, they'll hook up immediately at the first episode if this was true.
- Well, she just might be a good writer. Plus sometimes she wants to focus on Phineas—one occasionally gets tired of writing herself all the time, especially if writing herself involves as much pining as Isabella's story does.
- Then how do you explain Perry and Doofenshmirtz?
In reality, they didn't see/meet the Future!Candace, Future!Linda, and Candace's children. She just remembered the day that they went to the future on that day, and the high council decided to show what would have happened if she was actually successful in ruining their training. As she finally realized, they gave her sons a creative boost (though still in denial about it) and had Linda finally realize it.
- Jossed: the two Candace show up in 'Rollercoaster: The Musical'. The Candaces probably just set the time machine wrong, and thought they were going back to the first rollercoast, but hit the second, instead.
- Jossed. They suggested Steve to join them (but didn't plainly because they didn't have a hat big enough, and its plainly obvious he wasn't turned into an animal.
- Used as in the OWCA didn't use the system anymore by this time. They might use any other kind of training and sorts.
- Perry might be a human turned into an animal. He acts like a human and probably as smart as one. He even wouldn't eat the food platypi would usually eat (insects).
- Who says he doesn't eat it? In "Does my duckbill look fat?" it's outright stated the Flynn-Fletchers feed him dead fly guts every day.
- This might make some sense, in the song "There's a Platypus controlling me" one of the teens says "My teacher is a Panda" perhaps he isn't talking about his current teacher, but one a few years back. Peter *Insert last name here* was a highschool teacher who left to join the OWCA and became a Panda. On his last day of school, he told the students this but as an intended joke. (Hiding the fact he was being completely serious) and that Teen was the only one who actually took it seriously and believed it.
- Seemingly jossed in the movie when we see him in another reality reading a newspaper with a headline mentioning Kevin winning an election, and the subject of the article's photo appears to be a silhouette of Candace. This suggests that he's a dimension-hopper and thinks all Candaces are named Kevin.
- Not everyone is either bi or bi-curious, though. Some are either straight(Jeremy), gay (Bobbi), or have a Single-Target Sexuality (Isabella)
- This also might mean that Perry brought Candace onto her bed. And if the "Perry is Candace's biological father" theory is right, it might be Perry who was giving her a message on fun.
- Actually, Candace saw Monogram when Perry was getting his mission briefing.
- There are some scenes where there's only Perry and some with only Candace.
- Or you know, she might just be high the entire time, including when she told Grandma she felt fine. The beard was part of the hallucination.
- Adult man built a little-girl-robot to be his love interest. Even considering sending her back in time doesn't make it less squicky.
- Didn't she get hiccups in one episode? I don't think robots get hiccups.
- Unless it was a hiccup in her programming.
- O_o After reading so many bizarre WMG's to this point, when they ask me why I lost my sanity. I'll be screaming from my cell, straightjacket and all. "WMG WMG WMG!!!!"
- Theirs kind of a loop hole in this, how do you explain Perry and Doofensmirtz side plots if all of Danville is part of a TV show (Unless Perry or Doof are also unaware of this as well.)
- Pardon me for asking this, but... HOW DO YOU FILM SOMEBODY'S (expletive) DREAMS? Seriously, there is absolutely no way to tie "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted" or "Wizard of Odd" into this WMG.
- They make it appeared to be dreams, but it all happened as a joke. They than knocked her out and filmed the whole just a dream ending for the show.
- Gee, it's almost as if this isn't the lives of real people, like it's all written by some force that exists outside their realm...
- He only says he was 'in character' to appease Monogram, but when you think about how he reacted to Candace (when Perry was inside her body) and Vanessa's got way more shape...... Face it, the girl had an effect on geeky guys.
- Isn't he already a meme?
- Well, even more of a meme, then.
- It hasn't gone viral...yet!
- Well, even more of a meme, then.
- That's about 70 years too late, if we go with the Frankenstein parallel.
- Unless her whole body was in her sleeping bag the entire night, making it unlikely for her to touch it.
- Two things: Disney owns Marvel so this is entirely possible, and The Beak in the Avengers would be epic.
- Possibly confirmed, with the upcoming Mission Marvel
- ..."Possibly"?
- Possibly confirmed, with the upcoming Mission Marvel
- And Rule of Funny.
- Tried it. They don't.
- Going back to the time of the dinosaurs and then forward again (in a different time-machine) could certainly be counted as traveling through time twice.
- What about episodes like "That Sinking Feeling" which show what happens after the episode ends.
- After seeing the insane reactions from the series finale of Good Luck Charlie (Which introduced a same-sex couple) causing people to send death threats to a 5 year old girl. I seriously doubt Disney will do that again for a long while.
- And the patches like, "Saying a word that no one else in the room knows." Is that an important CIA trainee skill?
- Yes, yes it is.
- This troper thinks they're ninjas-in-training if they're anything-in-training.
- Or that the Fireside Girls are affiliated with the O.W.C.A.
- It seemed that the resistance from the movie had some O.W.C.A. roots. At the end The fireside girls seem to be under Monogram's command.
- This.
- Definitely. Yes.

- They actually lampshaded the giving-a-monkey-a-shower bit, so it seems rather likely.
- In merely four episodes from season 3, the list and the things you get to see in the title sequence were Lamp Shaded twice already. It seems that the creators are set on finishing the list.
- They actually lampshaded the giving-a-monkey-a-shower bit, so it seems rather likely.
- Phineas and Ferb: Total Drama Danville
- Phineas and Ferb Wander Over to Gravity Falls
- ''Phineas and Ferb: Super Smash Stepbros.
- This could also explain Suzy's attraction to him. With him being the only responsible parental authority figure in the home, of course she would latch on to him!
- They're seen quite a bit in Season 3, and appear to be stable.
- In the movie his father seemed very hyper and enthusiastic.
- Doofenshmirtz is also a psychic, but is driven insane by his inner demons like the other inmates in the place. He escaped to Danville before the events of the game, so Raz couldn't really cure him. note
- Could be canon. In the latest issue of the magazine there's an article with bios of the kids written by Major Monogram, telling Agent P to keep an eye on them all, since they're suspicious—especially Phineas, who "seems to be their leader".
- Monogram did seem pretty quick at believing P&F turned evil when Carl got confused in under cover Carl. In the movie it really looked like Carl's mission was to give Perry to the Flynn-Fletchers.
- This troper sure hopes not. For Dan and Swampy's sake...
- Since "Christmas Vacation!" takes place after the rest of the series (Perry gets his present that Doofenshmirtz bought in "Gaming the System," and Candace refers to the boys driving her crazy all last summer), and they're a couple in that special, they can't break up permanently.
- *puts on nerd glasses* : First of all, I think that Rollercoaster: The musical happens after the first summer vacation, because Santa does appear in Carpe Diem. Then I think I remember that we have Word of God stating that season 3 happens a year after season 1-2's summer vacation.
- Santa was a character as far back as "I, Brobot" so that doesn't really mean anything.
- *New nerd glasses* Santa appears in I Brobot, but not his elves. They all appear in Carpe Diem.
- Since "Christmas Vacation!" takes place after the rest of the series (Perry gets his present that Doofenshmirtz bought in "Gaming the System," and Candace refers to the boys driving her crazy all last summer), and they're a couple in that special, they can't break up permanently.
- The original Rollercoaster day, completely undisturbed by time travel.
- In "It's About Time" they use the time machine for the first time.
- In "Quantum Boogaloo" (first part) they make a simple visit forward in time and collect the bonding device.
- In "Summer Belongs to You" they say, correctly, that they have traveled in time twice.
- In "Rollercoaster: The Musical" they decide to repeat the Rollercoaster day with music.
- Good Future Candace comes back to Musical day (by mistake) and busts them, creating the dystopian future.
- Bad Future Candace comes back and undoes this change. This is the version we see, with the two Future Candaces lurking in the parking lot during the Musical.
- Eventually, Isabella undoes the whole second time trip by giving Phineas and Ferb the tool they need.
- At least the premise of this is confirmed. If you pay attention to the scene in which Candace and Linda leave the supermarket in "Rollercoaster: The Musical"f you can see the two future Candaces at a car hiding and watching the scene.
- The only problem with this that some scenes and dialogue confirm that it's the original Rollercoaster, though ignore this and it fits perfectly.
- Seconded, For The Win.
- It would be perfect if the finale was a few years later, with Candace about to go off to college, and right before she leaves she tells her mom to turn around. And whatever the boys had built wouldn't disappear. Or maybe she decides that she's over her neurotic tendency to bust them, says nothing, and then Lynda turns around anyway.
- Gets cut off by soccer*
- Or it's because Candace is obsessive and full of energy, at least in one piece of information this troper can't get, it's one of her charms.
- Maybe winning Jeremy as a BF was the good luck that the Universe gave her to balance out the bad luck she's had at...everything else.
- He is actually even more crazy than she is, but admire her for being so 'open' about it. Suzy tries to scare away anybody who gets to close.
- Why does this trope keep getting brought up? The preponderance of evidence is that these kids are still in elementary school. They aren't trying to save the world (except on rare and highly specific occasions), they're having fun during summer vacation just like every other kid under the age of puberty. They just do it on a grander scale than anyone else.
- Gah, you beat me to it. This actually makes a lot of sense, considering that the same clips Irving had in "Phineas' Birthday Clip-O-Rama!" just happen to be the same ones we see at home.
- Maybe it has something to do with aliens
- ..or a Halloween special!
- The creators have said that Meat Loaf was their dream guest... It could happen!
- Happens in the episode "Meatloaf Surprise"
- Or alternatively the giant floating baby head is the big bad and is spying on Phineas and Ferb.
- The gang are Loopers!
- As for her sister's name, it's Suzette. This would explain the scene where Phineas asks Suzette if she wants a crepe, which would otherwise not make any sense since all the girls on the rollercoster were the Fireside Girls (including Isabella), and none of their names are Suzette.
- Rollercoaster: The Musical!: Obviously tons of those in You are going down.
- Make Play: Candace in the princess' dress.
- Canderemy: Stacy and Candace both try plenty of costumes.
- Run, Candace, Run!: Stacy as half of a donkey. Averted with Candace.
- Last Train to Bustville : Multiple Candaces in chorus outfit.
- Phineas' Birthday Clip-o-Rama: Blink and miss and very minor, but Candace does get a Top Hat.
- The Belly of the Beast: Both in Sailor costume.
- Moon Farm: Both in Chef costume.
- Ask a Foolish Question: Nope.
- Misperceived Monotreme: Nope.
That is 8 episodes out of the last 12 ones. I mean, it is already more likely to see this happen in a new episode than to hear the "Aren't you a little young to..." catchphrase).
- This Stacy Fanboy hopes this is true.
- Ok, updated the numbers from 8/10 to 8/12: Bad streak with the last two episodes, but the percentage of new episodes affected by it is still large.
- It was actually their first project, which is why they're so smart now.
- I would consider the Super Computer to be that project since it knew everything.
- Alternatively, his artistic father just has to travel a lot and takes him with him.
- This would also explain why his sister appears so infrequently as well.
- His suggestions for what they're going to do today are over-the-top because he knows that's more likely to make them happen.
- He's (almost) always so calm and cheerful because, hey, it's just a cartoon. In Summer Belongs to You he gets upset because was worried the cartoon was going to have a bittersweet you-can't-always-get-what-you-want ending.
- That kinda bothers me...he'll get upset if the cartoon might have a Bad Ending...Isn't that kinda selfish? Phineas isn't selfish at all! Unless his old personality is still there somewhere trying to fight its way free. Creepy, but it makes for a potentially good Fan Fic.
- For the clincher, in the Christmas special, he kept trying to "wake up from a bad dream," deliberately trying to to invoke that trope as a way out of a possibly depressing episode.
- Major Monogram and might be aware, too. During one episode, Carl mentioned that they're in a cartoon, while Major Monogram scolded him for Breaking the Fourth Wall.
- Ferb is also a good candidate for knowing about the format, since he makes comments like "It usually takes us at least a montage" and "Well, it is Candace's dream"—not to mention that he knew that Perry was making a guest appearance in the (very fourth-wall breaking) musical clip show. Then there was the one where Buford called the background characters "lousy extras", and the bit where Doof announced the change of scene before it happened—heck, it's possible they all know that they're in a cartoon. (Except for Candace. She would be the only one not in on the secret...)
- Don't forget about Baljeet arguing with the soundtrack from that episode where they went to the moon to make ice cream.
- The Fourth Wall doesn't control Irving, Irving controls the Fourth Wall! Also, it would seem like Candace and her group are aware as well. They did participate in the musical...Stacy and Jenny were seen preparing for the number. Isabella would also qualify. Pretty much everyone in the musical who had their own number is aware.
- As long as we're going to count the musical, pretty much everyone who's ever appeared in the show was in the final number. Let's face it, this show is veering dangerously close to having No Fourth Wall.
- Don't forget about Baljeet arguing with the soundtrack from that episode where they went to the moon to make ice cream.
- lolno
- Jossed, it's actually somewhere in Europe.

- In-Universe, they know they've become famed for doing things in one day, and don't make much of their celebrity to garner more of it. People rarely ask them if they're too young to be doing X anymore, since they know the boys can handle themselves.
- It's all one unheard of invention of people life (The game of life Phineas and Ferb style.) note Phineas and Ferb constructed it to have cards representing certain characters, game pieces of the characters, ect. ect. ect. The parents were highly amused at the idea and helped the boys with it. Candace just came home with her boyfriend Jeremy, and decided to tag along, as well for their friends and family members. Suzy isn't really evil, just overprotective with Jermeny, so Suzy decided that she should be the kid trying to kep Candance away from Jermeny. Buford and Baljeet are actully friends, maybe too close. Buford actully looks like a bully, but isn't, so Baljeet decided to see what will a relationship with a bully and a victim if they are friends. Dr. Doofenshmirtz actully is a good successfull scientist in a pharmacist coat. Perry is truly a platypus who can't do much and is the pet. He also finds a way into Dr. D's house. Unlike other places, Perry is always welcomed there as much as his own house. And with Major Monogram being the vet they visit, Phineas decided to make a Perry piece AND also make it turn into the agent known as Agent P and make Dr. D the bad guy that is still friends with Perry, and Major Monogram the OWCA* leader with Phineas being the controller of the piece since Perry is a platypus, he can't do much. Isabella truly does have a crush for Phineas, she is just able to say it. Phineas IS aware of this, and thus made some of Isabella's cards about her love. The other people easily fall into place from there on, like Irving, the other agents, and maybe Kevin the zebra. The goal of the game is to have the most X points with X being the character the player is. Problem? Phineas than made the cards like these samples.
- Phineas's cards.
- Card 1: School let out! Choose between a kid character. If they are NOT Baljeet, add 600 points for each. If it is Baljeet, steal 100 points for Baljeet.
- Card 2: I KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY! Add 500 points to Phineas AND Ferb and advance each token to any invention of your choosing.
- Card 3: Wrong parts for the invention! Subtract 400 points.
- Ferb's cards.
- Card 1: Meet a pretty goth girl. Add 250 points.
- Card 2: Make a successfull invention. Add 300 points to Phinease and Ferb.
- Card 3: Lost a tool! Deduct 400 points.
- Ect. Ect. Ect. Make more cards for other characters if you want.
- Phineas's cards.
- Supported by the fact that Fred doesn't look anything like Jeremy, yet looks a little like Candace.
- And Fred looks similar to Buford
- We also didn't see future!Jeremy in the Quantum Boogaloo, despite Candace and Jeremy being an offical couple...
- Hey, there's this new thing: It's called a job.
- Perhaps she will actully APPROVE of whatever they did since htey have degrees, and Linda will pretend to punish them, and perhaps that Linda could give them a clearing or whatnot, and this could be part of the series Grand Finale.
- Didn't that actually happen in Quantum Boogaloo? (Minus curing her)
- The first episode in which he appeared was "Greece Lightening". His collection of stock phrases included, "The enemy of the Platypus is man", and "Let's invite our wives next time!" In other words, he was clearly designed as an adult man. (Doof calls him his "man robot".)
- He didn't get any real character development until "Nerdy Dancin'", in which Doof is surprised to find him talking back and generally acting like a Servile Snarker. In fact, he's acting kind of like a rebellious teenager.
- Finally, in "A Real Boy", we find out that Norm wants to be just that—a real boy. He also suddenly wants Doof to be his father, play games with him and take care of him.
- This presumably happens after something (maybe an invention of theirs or Doof's) causes them to recover their memories of "2nd Dimension," explaining how that movie can exist and why Agent P and Doofenshmirtz are in the show - or they made up the Agent P subplot to make things more exciting, and in reality Perry is just a platypus.
- And going off "in reality Perry is just a platypus"- Doofenshmirtz is actually a teacher of the boys and, impressed with their creativity, asks if they could make him a funny nemesis for their secret agent platypus. The boys make him a not-so-bad guy because they like him so much, explaining why the "evil" Dr. D. puts so much effort into being a good dad, and especially why he's so kind to Phineas and Ferb in the movie.
- Semi Jossed. They are actually sisters.
- Or the Only Six Faces joke, knowing that this is Japan we're talking about.
- CURSE YOU, PLANTY THE POTTED PLANT!
- Sounds like a Robot Chicken sketch. (Don't tell Seth Green though!)
- To be fair both Ferb and Planty are green and don't talk much (For Planty not at all) but both are very exceptional for their species. Ferb having beyond inhuman abilities, and Planty awesome enough to become a OWCA agent. (Despite not doing anything)
as a tribute to his Grandma, Gertrude Zupermühltienatör. She was the Doofenshmirtz who was nice to heinz, so he paid tribute by naming his inventions after her.
- Jossed: It's not just a name used by Doof. Other mad scientists are also seen naming their inventions inators during the Inator Creator competition in "Robot Rodeo", and even Phineas and Ferb use the name once (the rainbow-inator). It is more likely just a common name for (usually evil) inventions in the Phineas and Ferb universe.



- Actually a deleted scene has Jeremy speaking right after their memories are erased. Though why he was there still begs the question, as well as the question why the 10 million other kids who were in the Epic Battle weren't mindwiped.
- I second this.
- There probably won't be an episode about Perry getting found out so soon after the movie (where he gets found out, but every witness' memory is erased). But only time will tell.
- Actually Stacey recently found out but keeps the secret for Perry and his family's sake. Also because she doesn't want to rewatch the horror movie she was watching a second time.
- Also, psychic, talking animals.
- As soon as Carl turns evil in "Where's Perry?" he gets his own dance number.
- Fletcher-Flynn's, home of Jump 'n' Duck
- It's not just a nod — they're all programs in his computer. The zebra calls her Kevin because it recognizes that her being is a manifestation of her creator. Where did you think all that Cartoonland Time was coming from?
- This makes so much sense.
- Alternately: the contents of Candace's dream really happened, and the OWCA used the Amnesia-inator on the family, so now they don't remember it, even though some of the events of the day were caught on Irving's clip show cameras. The scene where Candace remembers the "dream" and the family gets taken away WAS Perry's dream, sprung from a fear that the family's amnesia might wear off.
- Or nephew. They're probably related somehow.
- Jossed: In "Excaliferb" Carl says "I ran into your wife in the kitchen, she makes these awesome sandwiches" what son calls his mother, adopted or otherwise by that term? Also in "Thanks but no thanks" Carl and Monty show no implications that they're related at all, in fact they seem like complete strangers meeting for the first time if anything, then again Carl IS jealous of Monty because he and Francis get along so well, while Carl is treated as the Butt-Monkey.
- Candace would probably try to prevent Phineas and Ferb from getting busted by anybody but herself. Actually, that would make a cool episode ending.
- That is beautiful. Sort of makes this troper want to cry.
That's why the parents never see anything and why everything is so easy to do in that world. In reality, Phineas and Ferb's inventions are made of toys. The reason nobody ever gets hurt on anything is because (since they're locked up) the toys their inventions are made from are childproof to prevent their use as a weapon. The reason they "disappear" at the end of every day around the same time is because they have scheduled time to play with them.
The reason the parents go away so often during the episodes is because, while they visit as often as possible, they aren't allowed to be with their children all day. The kid's minds make the grocery excuse to explain why the adults are so often absent.
In reality...
Phineas is Schizophrenic and detached from reality. He's so happy all the time because of the mood stabilizer's he has to take to keep him from becoming depressed and suicidal. The 3 subplots that run in the series are all his mind's interpretation of the everyday occurrences that go on around him.
Ferb is a non-verbal Autistic whose social withdrawal got so bad that he couldn't go to normal schools, because he would have a meltdown if he did. He inexplicably became attached to Phineas. In their world, Ferb chooses not to speak but can still maintain healthy relationships as he was unable to in real life. His kinship with Phineas is the reason why they're "brothers" without being related.
Isabella has an unnamed psychotic break from reality, caused by abuse from her father (which is why he's never seen) and the reason her mother is so friendly and motherly is to compensate for her real mom's inability to protect her. Her obsession with Phineas is caused by Reactive Attachment Disorder.
Candace has multiple personalities, including Perry, which is why she and Perry are so deeply connected and why Perry experienced Candace's dream. This is why her moods cycle so much. Jeremy, Stacy and Jenny are all her personalities, which is why Stacy was her "eyes, ears and mouth" in "Put That Putter Away!", and it's also why she acts so differently when they're around. The other children recognize Candace's personalities as different people as well and treat them as such. Candace's mom's frustration with her busting the kids isn't even about the busting, but instead about her giving into Phineas's delusions and being so aggressive to her counsellors.
Buford has bipolar disorder, which is why he goes from deep and sensitive to aggressive and spiteful so often.
Baljeet is Obsessive Compulsive.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz is a Doctor at the facility who, while not a bad person, is unliked severely by Candace. When she's in her Perry personality she's more prone to break rules, which is why Doof "traps" her so often and why he only fights her if she attacks first.
Carl is an orphan who had nowhere else to go. He got involved in the kid's games once (in Undercover Carl) and was still in reality, which is why he was so reluctant to play along. He grew attached to Monogram, since he was the only adult who was ever really kind to him.
Major Monogram is Carl's social worker who interacts with the kids from time to time. Candace has an unexplained fondness for him and when in her "Perry" personality sees him as a part of their separate reality as his boss, since he always tries to encourage "him" to fight the illness. What Phineas and the other kids involved see as him bossing Carl around is simply his tough-but-fair way of trying to help the boy have a future.
Django was depressed, but after connecting with the boys, he was checked out by his dad, although he's relapsed once.
The Fireside Girls are Isabella's friends from her old life who come to visit often and play along with her delusions.
The recurring background characters are random Doctors, visitors, social workers and other patients. The "did you think it was just going to fall out of the sky?" couple are the parents of a patient who are always fighting about their kid's illness and the father is usually right. The extras from the first episode were kids who were almost done with treatment and were checked out soon after.
This also explains why it's perpetually summer, why the kids always wear the same clothes, why nobody goes to school and why none of the adults ever see what the children do.
- Fanfic-inatored already. It's on the fanfic page.
One day Dr. Doof will finally realize that he is not profiting from his petty revenge schemes. He decides to sell his building and move to the suburbs. There, he lies low for a while, building his new lair and genetically engineering his minions (who he has finally realized to be far more competent than a giant robot man). Eventually, the OWCA catches on, and assigns his neighbor's dog to him as a nemesis. He quickly disposes of the dog nad continues onw withh his scemes. Eventually, after several profitable ventures, he has enough money to start his own company, Eggman Industries. Shortly after this, Sonic the Hedgehogis assigned as his nemesis.
The similarities between Gru and Dr. Doof are astounding. They both have the same nose and body type, give or take twenty pounds. Again, Gru looks similar to Dr Eggman: give him a nose job, another thirty pounds, and a mustache.
Eventually, Phineas and Ferb will run out of ideas for inventions. They've already covered an amazing amount of territory, but how much more can they dream up? In the recent episode Bully Bromance Break-up, it's already shown that Phineas goes through withdrawl when unable to build something. At some point in the near future, Phineas will start participating in more and more dangerous activities just for the thrill of it(i.e. "Let's go skydiving from space- with no parachutes! We can build them on the way down- with things we find in the air!) One of these attempts will go horribly wrong, and Phineas will die.
- You are aware this is a "DISNEY" show right?
- Involves yet another Bad Future where Phineas and Ferb turns evil. Their Start of Darkness involves being busted from the episode where Candace became Mayor for day. After harshly punished similar to that of "Phineas and Ferb gets Busted" the boys became embittered and resentful towards everyone, that if they can enjoy the things they did, and then no one will. They'll either chew Candace out for them getting into trouble or thanked her for "seeing the light" that fun is bad. Candace realizes this and after getting out of her Heroic BSoD serves as The Atoner. Their friends would also fill in for the villains, considering they were present as well.
- Phineas is the Big Bad and Boyfriend of Isabella.
- Ferb is The Dragon Evil Brit and possibly The Starscream or his better friend.
- Isabella is the Dark Action Girl and girlfriend of Phineas
- Buford is The Brute who more of The Bully more than ever.
- Baljeet is the Evil Genius whose Lack of Empathy produce Nightmare Fuel inducing experiments.
- Fireside Girls are a Quirky Miniboss Squad and Ginger is the girlfriend of Baljeeet.
- Candace finally manages to bust her brothers like in the Time Travel episode and Phineas And Ferb Get Busted and is about to go celebrate her victory when the boys' experiment go off and hits her. At first she doesn't seem to be affected, until she meets a spirit despairing over something. Asking him, she finds out that he was assigned to make sure Candace failed at busting her brothers, and is facing a demotion for the botched assignment. Instead of feeling sympathy, Candace instead goes into a song and dance routine that is basically rubbing the poor guy's misfortune in his face and further emphasizing her apparent victory against Heaven itself. Unfortunately, God takes this as a personal insult and sends angels down to arrest her and bring her to court. There she asks the all important question of why is heaven itself was preventing her from busting her brothers. God answers this by reviewing at was seen in the Time Travel episode where Doofenshmirtz became ruler of a polluted Earth where all humans are stuffed in People Jars until they're thirty with all creativity and joy sucked out of them, further explaining that humanity would have had a slow, emotionally destructive death, further leading to Heaven losing power due to the lack of soul going up while Hell becomes filled with the brim with people who's only sin was Sloth due to said creative stifling. From there, we see a long sequence of various end of the world scenarios from actual alternate timelines where Candace did succeed in busting her brothers at certain points, further hammering the point of why Candace cannot succeed no mater how hard she tries. The rest of the movie then deals with God forcibly assigning her reverse the impending doom she unwittingly initiated from her successful busting.
- Or maybe, make it a Family-friendly but still very epic version of Kingdom Come while being a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of various Disney properties at once.
- Well, imagine Phineas Flynn in the role of Superman while Hercules is Evil Shazam.
- Wouldn't be very epic for a fight between Phineas against Hercules like Iron Man against Hyperion?
- Or like a Disney version of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but even more comedic and Family-friendly.
- Taken up to eleven when it is made into a fighting game.
- Create a Giant Robot ten galaxies tall and save all of creation from an opresive force that wants to stop creativity.
- Good grief, this is so obviously right, I'm embarrassed I never considered it until I read this...
- Alternatively he is just another construct of the Data Entity to spy on Phineas who may or may not have the power to warp reality, in case all of the events surrounding Haruhi were just extremely contrived coincidences.
- Alternatively they're in Helen, they do seem to really enjouy what they do. And One Person's heaven is another person's hell, so to Candace it is purgatory.
Possible outline:
- Something will happen that sets the plot in motion. Expect this to be complete with an unexplained new Level in Badass for Doof.
- The OWCA will try and stop him, but when all else fails, Perry blows his cover and enlists Phineas and Ferb's help. Candace, not quite understanding the gravity of the situation, continues with her usual busting routine.
- The kids will make a new plan and actually get somewhere, but then Candace finally shows Linda what they're up to. Linda will freak out and cause them to fail to Thwart Stage One, possibly also jumpstarting a disturbingly similar situation to "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted" if the writers are particularly cruel. Naturally, this is when Candace finally realizes the consequences of her actions, resulting in a My God, What Have I Done? moment (along with much facepalming among her haters).
- Doof will take over partially. Meanwhile the boys try to find a way to fix things anyway and Candace becomes The Atoner and tries to get Linda to let the kids save the Tri-State Area. Initially Linda will absolutely refuse, but then some crazy thing will change her mind.
- The kids will reunite, make up a new plan, succeed in freeing the Tri-State Area, and give Doof a Villainous BSoD.
- In line with the show's idealism, the Dénouement will feature the damage repairing itself while Doof is allowed a Heel–Face Turn Earn Your Happy Ending.
Expect lots of Call Backs and for that matter Continuity Porn in general, as well as Darker and Edgier Deconstructive elements.
Obviously, Monogram has some kind of personal vendetta against Doofenshmirtz. This would explain why he's always sending a government agent after him, despite most of his schemes not even being evil. He might have had a Noodle Incident in the past that would explain why he hates Doof so much.
Throuought all of the specials, Monogram ruins Perry's vacation/holiday/break by sending him out to fight Doof with no reason to base it on. (A prime example: He called Perry out of his vacation to send him after Doof due to a "suspicious text message", which just happened to be written all in caps.) In the beginning of the movie, Phineas and Ferb are going on one last summer vacation before the end of the series. As usual, Monogram calls Perry out (once again crushing Phineas) and sends him to monitor Doofenshmirtz. It turns out that Doof is only doing something harmless (i.e. shopping, going to the park, etc.) and in no way evil. Monogram doesn't care, and orders Perry to "stop" him anyway.
After having all of his schemes/dates/vendettas ruined by Perry in some way, this pushes it over the edge. Doof finally snaps and goes to KILL Perry, who just barely escapes. Not caring about his saftey, Monogram orders Perry to return to his mission. He refuses and returns home to Phineas.
Monogram loses his cool for the first time in the series and calls out all of his agents to attack Perry, now considered a "rogue agent". As other agents storm the house, Perry reveals his secret identity to Phineas, and he, Candace, Perry, and Ferb make a narrow escape in Perry's rocket car.
OWCA agents (actually human this time) spread out over the city in an attempt to search for the fugitives, who are forced to take refuge at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. Phineas talks Doof out of his psychotic state (maybe some memories resurface from Across the Second Dimension?) and they resolve to stop Monogram. Animal agents storm the building, but Phineas gives a motivational speech, inspiring the agents to give up their secret lives and spend more time with their owners.
Monogram, furious at his loss, loses what remaining sanity he has left. He gets into a Giant Mecha built out of Doof's Inators and begins wreaking havoc on Danville. Doof, Perry, Phineas, and the agents break into the OWCA headquarters and cobble together another machine of their own, once again using parts from all of the boys' past inventions (and Doof's combine-inator). A huge battle ensues, with an unrealistic amount of collateral damage. Finally, Phineas, Doof, Ferb, and Perry confront Monogram in the top of his mecha. A short speech occurs, revealing his "troubled" past and why he hates Doof so much.
Monogram makes one final attempt to kill the heroes, which fails completely. He falls from the tower in a Disney Villain Death. It's kind of dark compared to the rest of the series, but he finally gets what's coming to him after emotionally torturing Doofenshmirtz and Perry for all these years.
A heartwarming ending scene ensues, with the various agents reuniting with their home families. Somehow,Linda has missed everything up to this point. Upon seeing the wreckage of the city, she goes insane, "busting" Phineas and Ferb. Both Candace and Doof stick up for them, asserting that they saved the city. Everything gets wrapped up, and the movie ends by showing Phineas, Ferb, and Doof working to rebuild the city.

- Except she has seen their inventions once and totally freaked out, yet was zapped by Doofensmirtz's amnesia-inator every time she saw it. Also why would she keep it a secret, if EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE CITY knows?


- To go even further, what if the episode doesn't even exist, and is just a massive practical joke? The writers are completely aware of how popular Phinbella is (and even how rabid some of the shippers are
), so they decided that they should write fake song notes, label photos as making the Phinbella song when they are completely different songs, make up who is writing the episode, create a title and "release" loads of other little bits of information. We fans will believe it all, until the airdate of the episode, where we will get something completely unrelated to Phineas and Isabella's relationship.
- And maybe Howard the Duck, like Spidey guessed.
Therefore, both parents favor Roger and shun Heinz, creating the emotionally scarring backstory that is Doofenshmirtz.
- Adding to this, maybe a portion of Season 4 is going to form some sort of story arc, where as the status quo is destroyed, the characters are put through (main reason to suggest this outside what has already been said is that concept art for the Second Dimension episode
◊ appears to have an image of our Phineas with Isabella-2, because a clearer image shows Phineas-2 still has shaved hair).
- Not to mention more and more episodes have been straying away from the common format, becoming either more epic "Chronicles of Meap, Meapless in Seattle, Where's Perry" shifts the focus more on Perry "Sidetracked, Primal Perry" (Both also fall into more epic) or a different continuity entirely in different time periods.
- With Family Christmas, the boys could've just decided it would be interesting to do a Christmas show in July.
- Anyone smell a crossover?
- Phineas and Ferb build a giant boomerang and fly it across the continent
- Phineas and Ferb perform at the Sydney Opera House
- Perry meeting a tribe of wild platypuses
- The return of Liam McCracken (from "Primal Perry")
- And of course: Surfing, koala hugging, kangaroo boxing, crocodile wrestling
- Sort of happens in "Save Summer" - nobody actually visits Australia, but we do briefly see Phineas, Ferb and their friends on the top of Uluru during the opening song via hologram projection.
- So your saying he just said the sound he makes? That's not a theory, that's pointing out the obvious.
- In addition, Jeremy will be Put on a Bus for college, leaving Candace in a state of depression as the love of her life is gone. Then in a matter of time, he will make a big return to the cast.
- The upcoming episode "Doof 101", which is slated to be about school, will air to test the waters.
- Jossed
: it will actually be the first of the hour long specials.
- However, the special entitled "Last Day of Summer" was the series' send off.
- It kinda makes you wonder whether or not Doof was Phineas's real father.......... He does have the ability to wield Doof's inators pretty easily.
- Phiona (Phineas)
- Ferbette (Ferb)
- Paris (Perry)
- Ezekiel (Isabella)
- Stacy: Candace! What did I tell you not to do?Candace: Make a deal with a demon to bust my brothers...Stacy: And what did you do?Candace: Make a deal with a demon to bust my brothers...
- Considering Vanessa gained an internship at OWCA in the series finale, this is quite likely true.
- Well, her dad was adopted by ocelots...
- Can I add a layer of Fridge Horror to this? That essentially amounts to animal abuse...right?
- Doofenshmirtz: You know, Norm, it occurs to me that though I've never had a son, there is someone I can always count on to be there. Someone I've begun to think of as family.Norm: Yes?Doofenshmirtz: And that someone is Perry the platypus. See you around, junk pile! (shuts closet door)Norm: Apology accepted, Dad!

- Alternately, "The OWCA Files" could be a de facto Spin-Off. Whether or not Milo Murphy's Law works out, Dan and Swampy may come around to this idea. They themselves have already hinted that as a possibility.
- There are also a few hints that the main series itself may not be quite over. The creators stated the possibility of it being Uncancelled note and would be willing to get back on it in the future.
- "Doof 101" also has potential as a spin-off (maybe in conjunction with "The OWCA Files" depending on how that one plays out).
- Drusselstein claims to have a centuries-long history. However, during most of the 2nd millennium, Germany was a loosely organized group of kingdoms and principalities, and it is highly possible that Drusselstein views itself as the successor to these.
- If this is true, then Drusselstein is likely on the coast of the Baltic Sea, in modern-day northeast Germany/northwest Poland. Drusselstein would have probably allied with NATO during the Cold War, giving NATO a massive military advantage, and accelerating the technological arms race between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This possibly led to advanced technologies that Phineas and Ferb use in the show.
- The same could go for "Hamster & Gretel" as it also shares the same universe.
MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! MOM! Phineas and Ferb are Wild Mass Guessing!
*not looking* Of course they are, Dear.
