My boys have finally discovered this show on Netflix. I don’t mind. It’s hilarious, as I’m sure everyone here knows. I was idly wondering yesterday in the shower, as they close in on one hundred and four episodes, have they boys managed to:
[ul][li]Build a rocket - Check (and launch their Mom’s car into space)[/li][li]Find a Mummy[/li][li]Climb up the Eiffel Tower[/li][li]Discover something that doesn’t exit[/li][li]Give a monkey a shower[/li][li]Surf a title wave[/li][li]Create nanobots[/li][li]Locate Frankenstein’s brain[/li][li]Find a dodo bird[/li][li]Paint a continent[/li][li]Drive their sister insane. - Check… Maybe[/ul][/li]I’m a little stuck on that last one. Their mom clearly thinks Candice is nuts from all the rather fanciful things she keeps on trying to pin on her brothers, but they actually happen, so she’s clearly sane. She just has really bad timing.

Oil On Candace, where they’re out to help the kid impress his artist dad.
So you’re saying she does the same thing over and over again, but expects a different result? 
Look at how Candace acts when the boys actually don’t do anything one day. She’s all twitchy and paranoid and can’t let it go. Generally she’s obsessed with their activities to the point that it seriously impinges on her enjoyment of life. You could probably scrape together a DSM description that fits her.
Am I too involved in this show? Yes. Yes I am.
My darker version…
*Like maybe…
Building a rocket
Or making a mummy * (the still living Baljeet)
Or blowing up the Eiffel Tower (Boom,boom, boom!)
*Discovering something that doesn’t exist * (Cthulhu, tied in below)
*Or giving the monkeys more power
Creating tidal waves
Exploding nanobots* (swarm Buford and explode)
Or locating Frankenstein’s brain (It’s over here! ) (in a jar marked ‘Abby Normal’)
*Cloning a dodo bird
Sinking a continent
Or driving your sister insane *
(she’s tied up like the chicken in the Robot Chicken titles. Tentacles come out of Ferb’s eye sockets and mouth)
And run from us because Phineas and Ferb are going to kill you all!
As I was typing out the OP, I had another thought.
What if none of the events we see on the show are actually happening? That’s why Candice never can prove what her brothers are up to. The evidence doesn’t miraculously disappear in unlikely coincidence after unlikely coincidence. It was never there in the first place.
“Phineas and Ferb” is a comedy after all. It’s really a tragic view into a poor girl’s broken mind.
. . . In fact, as the series ends with Mom, Dad, and Candace leaving the funeral, we learn that Phineas, Ferb and Perry all died when the rollercoaster they were trying to build in Episode 1 collapsed on them all. Her mind broke after witnessing the carnage of the remains.
Hmm . . . not quite a kid’s show anymore.
“Girl, Busted”
How do you make so many posts without once mentioning Dr. Doofensmertz(sp)? You clearly need a ‘threaderator’ to write them for you.
Curse you, **crucible **the doper!
I predict the final episode will feature Candace looking into a snowglobe with a rollercoaster in it.
Or the dad wakes up next to Suzanne Pleschette.
Nicely done. 
The songs from this show constantly get stuck in my head. First there was Ducky Momo (quack quack quack) and then Horse in a bookcase. Help!
That would be Doofenshmirtz. Scary that he’s got his own Wikipedia entry.
You better hope you never see the “Phineas and Ferb’s Musical Cliptastic Countdown” which has the 10 best songs and includes the extended version of #1, or “Rollercoaster: The Musical!” Of course there are plenty of other catchy songs.
Perry, you know you are a boy’s best friend,
Uh oh,
You’re more than just a passing trend.
You’re like a treat from a candy store.
It’s too late for me! Save yourselves! Ruuuun!!!
(I actually do like “Come Home Perry,” it’s one of my favorites).
I absolutely LOVE Perry!
Watched this while I had a 2-year-old in my house over the weekend a few weeks ago. It’s smart and hilarious. I was quite entertained.
Is a discussion on one of my favorite animated series (alongside its companion, the just-as-entertaining-if-not-more Gravity Falls) enough to bring me back to post after over two years? Yes. Yes it is.
If the additional lyrics to the song Jaret Reddick wrote to make it single-length are included, we also have:
- Crossing the tundra (hasn’t been done yet, I think)
- Building a rollercoaster (the pilot, and a number of times afterwards; including a revisit of the pilot in musical form to make up for the fact that the episode didn’t have the mandatory musical number)
- Skiing down a mountain of beans (not yet)
- Devising a system for remembering everything (not yet)
*Synchronizing submarines (not yet) - Racing chariots (“Greece Lighting” - though, as Ferb will remind you, gladiators were Roman, not Greek)
- Taming tiger sharks (not yet)
- Constructing a portal to Mars (“Unfair Science Fair”)
- Building a time machine (Sort of - they haven’t built a time machine, but they repaired one in “It’s About Time”, which was also used in “Phineas and Ferb’s Quantum Boogaloo”)
- Stretching a rubber tree (not yet)
- Wailing away on guitars (a good number of times, usually in one of those musical numbers)
I think my addition to this discussion is best capped off by pointing out that a)the third annual Platypus Day is this Saturday and b) Dr. Doofenshmirtz has a vlog.
Love this show! I miss when my son was younger and he used to watch it all the time.
Perry is the bomb.
If he were a person, he’d win an Emmy just for his eye acting.
