Phineas's step-brother and best friend. A quiet and stoic boy who usually says no more than one or two lines per episode. He's also a mechanical genius who gladly helps his brother assemble whatever contrived contraption they need for their latest scheme.

Line 120:

* [[Minored in Asskicking]]: Ferb takes Buford down in one Vulcan inspired move after he "gets in his face". Likewise although "Vanessasary Roughness" focuses on her as [[Action Girl]] he had some bad moves of his own.

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: A most-likely unintentional example. Despite his age, he's won himself quite a few fangirls, to say the least.

* [[Non Singing Voice]]

* [[Non-Singing Voice]]

* [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]: His pet chameleon, Steve.

* Omniglot: Knows Dolphin, Martian, Japanese and pretty much whatever else the plot requires.

Line 185:

** She's savvy enough to use her [[Failure Is the Only Option]] as a ''weapon'' of sorts in the movie. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Damn!]]

* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Ducky Momo, although it's less of a "[[So Bad It's Good|so bad it's good]]" guilty pleasure and more of a nostalgic attachment for her.

* [[Hello Nurse]]: Somewhat. Albert, Irving's big brother, and arguably Buford have the hots for her.

* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Somewhat. Albert, Irving's big brother, and arguably Buford have the hots for her.

* {{spoiler|1=[[Heroic Sacrifice]]/[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]}}: At the end of the movie.

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: In "Unfair Science Fair: Redux", she manages to convince herself that her friends have all spontaneously abandoned her through a combination of them all being involved in prior engagements and the misinterpretation of a text message. She ends up getting stranded on Mars and becoming the Queen of the native martians... who won't leave her alone, which leads to her realizing her [[An Aesop|moral]] for the day.

Line 255:

* [[Animal Superheroes]]

* [[Animal Talk]]: Apparently, "platypus" and "beaver" are sufficiently-similar languages for cross-species communication. It must be the tails.

* [[Anthropomorphic Zig Zag]]: In universe example.

* [[Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag]]: In universe example.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Doofenshmirtz

* [[B Story]]

Line 274:

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: [[The Movie]] reveals that {{spoiler|Perry has a back-up plan in case things get to be too much for him to handle: hand things over to Phineas and Ferb. And just in case they need something to work with, he has every single invention the boys have built on standby.}}

* [[Deep Cover Agent]]

* [[Deep-Cover Agent]]

* [[Detective Animal]]

* [[Everything's Better With Platypi|Everything's Better With Platypode]]

Line 281:

** In "A Real Boy", Doof even claims that Perry feels like family to him.

* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: ''"[[Lampshade Hanging|Besides his hat, he wears no clothes]]"''

* [[Heroic Mime]]

Line 323:

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Mostly averted.They are shown to be fairly competent for the most part in the series,in spite of not knowing of Phineas and Ferb's exploits. However, they spend the movie [[Film Within a Film|watching a movie]]. Candace's [[Genre Savvy]] plan to ensure victory for the heroes does involve Linda's participation, but that's more "making use of" adults than adults actively being useful.

* [[Bumbling Dad]]: Lawrence, in a nerdy sort of way.

* [[Casting Gag]]: In "Meet Max Modem", Lawrence sings a [[Shout Out|science-fiction themed song]]. His outfit is quite reminiscent of [[Rocky Horror Picture Show|Riff Raff's.]]

* [[Casting Gag]]: In "Meet Max Modem", Lawrence sings a [[Shout-Out|science-fiction themed song]]. His outfit is quite reminiscent of [[Rocky Horror Picture Show|Riff Raff's.]]

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Lawrence. In the way that finding out that his sons have literally turned the entire [[Its Pronounced Tropay|gare-age]] upside-down or that the television is talking back to him doesn't faze him in the slightest.

* [[Concert Kiss]]: In "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together".

Line 331:

{{quote| '''Lawrence''': I'm awesome, you're not. I'm awesome, you're not.}}

* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: {{spoiler|When he gets out from under Buford's thumb, he gains some pretty extreme competence, to the point that he climbs a mountain and performs some impressive stunts with nothing but the clothes on his back.

== Suzy Johnson ==

Line 801:

** "Suddenly Suzy" seems to indicate that she believes all sisters should be this toward their brothers, given how appalled she acts upon finding out that Candace is not.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]

* [[Ping Pong Naivete]]: In most of the episodes which feature her, she's frighteningly intelligent, manipulative, and (in a way) mature. Then, in ''Nerds of a Feather,'' she gets frightened by an ''[[Alien]]''-esque exhibit and seeks a hug from a cuddly costumed character from her favorite cartoon. This could be an attempt to uphold to the the show's proclamation of "no mean characters" by reminding us she's still a child.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: As mentioned above, in "Finding Mary McGuffin" when, at near the end of the episode, Candance and Vanessa began fighting over the Mary [[McGuffin]] doll. It flies into the hands off a little girl and both look at it for a moment, seeing how much she liked it. Candace decided to let it go, Vanessa just took it.

{{quote| '''Doofenshmirtz:''' So you just took it from a little girl and left her there crying? Wow, that ''is'' evil. Honey, I'm so proud of you! [[Evil Feels Good|It felt good,]] didn't it? Yeah, we can build on this. }}

* [[Deep-Cover Agent]]

* [[Determinator]]: Like Candace-1.

* [[Deep Cover Agent]]

* [[Deep-Cover Agent]]

* [[Informed Attribute]]: We never really see exactly how he "resists the Resistance" in spite of multiple references to it. He even accompanies the ''bona fide'' Resistance members on their mission voluntarily. This is much like how the first dimension Buford "bullies" the first dimension kids, but does not really do much to show for it (plus he has a lot of [[Ho Yay]] moments with them, mainly Baljeet)
