Line 14:
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Not to the same extent as Ferb, but he can wipe out an army of invading robots with a baseball launcher and a robot dog as effectively as anyone else. He also fought an evil dictator from another dimension solo (however briefly) and lived to tell the tale {{spoiler|([[Laser-Guided Amnesia|or not]])}}.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Four words: '''[[Punctuated for Emphasis|GET]].''' '''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|ON]].''' '''[[OOC Is Serious Business|THE]].''' '''[[Memetic Mutation|TRIKE]]!!!'''
* [[Break the Cutie]]/[[Heroic BSOD]]/[[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: In "Phineas And Ferb Get Busted", {{spoiler|or at least within [[Dream Within a Dream|Candace's dream within Perry's dream.]]}}
** Also in "Summer Belongs To You" and the [[Christmas Special]].
*** In Summer Belongs to You [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8595u0j7Eo&feature=related here] at about 7:20.
Line 78:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: To Perry in the movie, not realizing that Perry had been hiding his secret agent identity to avoid being relocated to another family.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]
* [[The Wonka]]: The kid equivalent. He even gets to dress up as [[Charlie and Thethe Chocolate Factory|Willy Wonka]] during a brief [[Charlie and Thethe Chocolate Parody]] in "Toy to the World".
 
 
Line 123:
* [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]: His pet chameleon, Steve.
* Omniglot: Knows Dolphin, Martian, Japanese and pretty much whatever else the plot requires.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]
* [[Precocious Crush]]: On Vanessa
** [[May-December Romance]]: [[Word of God]] states that they'd likely end up together when they get older when "[[Vague Age|that age difference]] won't be so much."
Line 173:
* [[Creator Cameo]]: Dan Povenmire does her gruff allergy-induced voice when she comes in contact with wild parsnip.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: In contrast to her second dimension counterpart, who is more a straight on [[Badass]], she is prone to panicking and tends to act rather erratically in general. But time and time again she has also shown capable of amazing feats given enough motivation (most commonly when she's trying to bust or protect her brothers).
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: [[Depending Onon the Writer|Sometimes]].
* [[The Determinator]]
* [[Embarrassing Middle Name]]: Gertrude.
Line 184:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: She knows perfectly well by now [[Cosmic Plaything|what]] [[The Chew Toy|will]] (almost certainly) [[Failure Is the Only Option|happen]] [[Status Quo Is God|when]] she tries to bust her brothers. [[Determinator|Doesn't stop her from trying though.]]
** 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.
* {{spoiler|1=[[Heroic Sacrifice]]/[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]}}: At the end of the movie.
Line 196:
{{quote| '''Candace''': What about ''my'' needs?}}
* [[It Was Here, I Swear]]:Used as a [[Running Gag]] in the show.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: She's often outwardly very mean to her brothers and much of her life revolves around trying to bust them, but on many occasions she shows that she does deeply care for them inside. In fact, she has claimed that one of her reasons for trying to bust her brothers is to protect them from their potentially dangerous activities. However, she isn't exactly a jerk, but can get carried away and wrapped up in trying to bust her brothers.
* [[Knight Templar]]: Toward her brothers.
* [[Large Ham]]
Line 211:
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Sometimes with Isabella.
* [[Official Couple]]: With Jeremy.
* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: When you have a brother and step brother who can basically bend reality to their whims, its bound to happen.
{{quote| '''Candace''': Why is it when Phineas and Ferb have an idea, everyone's like "Oh, wow, you guys are really clever!" and when I come up with something everyone's like "What, did you say something, Candace?" }}
* [[Panty Shot]]: Rocket spinning part of "Ain't no Kiddie Ride" and in Mommy Can you Hear Me?" when she leaps towards her mom.
Line 217:
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Near literal example to Perry in "No More Bunny Business", after being something of a [[Jerkass]] towards him earlier in the episode.
* [[Pettanko]]
* [[Princess for Aa Day]]: In "Make Play".
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: At the beginning of the show Jeremy is just "that cute guy," but as the show goes on they start dating, then become exclusive, then refer to themselves as boyfriend and girlfriend ({{spoiler|and share their [[First Kiss]]}}) in "Summer Belongs to You."
** Parodied in "Phineas and Ferb Interrupted", where she claims that she and Jeremy are going steady to Stacy, but she feels no need to inform Jeremy of this.
Line 228:
* [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist]]: She certainly ''thinks'' of herself as this.
* [[Tagalong Kid|Tagalong Teenager]]: On the occasions where she joins in her brothers' projects (for varying reasons), such as in "Summer Belongs to You!"
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: Several, usually due to the fact that her brothers seem to have no animosity towards her despite her busting attempts.
** Jeremy basically is this trope embodied for her.
* [[Tsundere]]: Type A with her brothers. She is more ''dere''''dere'' with Jeremy.
Line 264:
** Demonstrated again in the Across the Second Dimension movie when he protects the boys {{spoiler|from Platyborg, exposing his identity as a secret agent as a result.}}
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Doofenshmirtz can't recognize him without his fedora (well, he ''did'' recognize him without his hat once, but that's a different story). It's even started to aggravate Perry, about the third time he wasn't recognized, you can see Perry sigh and slap it on. In Doofenshmirtz's defense, [[Justified Trope|he's justified]] in that all platypuses, platypii, platypeople, whatever, are superficially identical (with Phineas noting [[Informed Flaw|Informed Flaws]] in all the wrong ones).
** His evil(er) counterpart in ''[[Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across Thethe 2nd Dimension|Across the Second Dimension]]'' even [[Lampshade|lampshades]] this by trying to teach him to recognize Perry without the hat. To show how bad Doof-1 is about recognizing Perry, in the movie, he already knew Phineas and Ferb's pet platypus was named Perry and had seen ''that'' Perry fighting the Platyborg and that wasn't enough to make a connection. No wonder Perry got aggravated.
** In the one occasion Doofenshmirtz ''did'' recognize Perry without the hat, he was trying to impress his professor, who said Perry couldn't be Doof's nemesis because he "doesn't even have a hat".
** When Perry switched bodies with Candace, the hat was what made Doofenshmirtz (and Major Monogram) recognize Perry. "A teenage girl?" "Perry the Teenage Girl!"
Line 276:
* [[Deep-Cover Agent]]
* [[Detective Animal]]
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Platypi|Everything's Better With Platypode]]
** Even funnier when it gets [[Lampshade|lampshaded]] in [[Big Damn Movie|the movie]], with a song all about how much better their days/lives are with Perry.
* [[Fedora of Asskicking]]: It's actually the uniform of the O.W.C.A. agents.
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Doof once even refers to him as his best friend (right before Perry punches him).
** In "A Real Boy", Doof even claims that Perry feels like family to him.
* [[Go-Karting Withwith Bowser]]: He occasionally hangs out with Doofenshmirtz when he's not being particularly evil.
* [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal]]: ''"[[Lampshade Hanging|Besides his hat, he wears no clothes]]"''
* [[Heroic Mime]]
Line 393:
* [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood]]
* [[Impossible Shadow Puppets]]: He is skilled at making these.
* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]: Was once thwarted by a potted plant he was using as a [[Companion Cube]] when Perry didn't show up. The [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|OWCA]] made the plant an agent in honor of this feat.
* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: Inverted. He's been established as not a very good looking guy (even when he got hit by his 'ugly-inator', it does nothing to him). However, he has a long history with dating women (at least three were confirmed); they weren't very successful, but proves ''some'' things. Not to mentioned some people [[Evil Is Sexy|think otherwise]].
** The most obvious point is that he was married, and has a beautiful daughter.
** Played straight when he is hit by his De-Handsome-inator in "Quitest Day Ever".
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] / [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: Goes back and forth between them.
* [[Large Ham]]
* {{spoiler|[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]}}: At the end of the movie.
Line 423:
* [[Poke the Poodle]]
* [[Punch Clock Villain]]
* [[Raised Byby Wolves|Raised By Ocelots]]: He claims this in one episode, after his birth family disowns him.
** And again in [[The Movie]].
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful]]: When he becomes handsome in "Quietest Day Ever". Amusingly, he was irritated at first, because the ability to do this was exactly ''why'' he hated beautiful people in the first place. But then he realized he could take over the Tri-State Area that way, and so decided to go along with it.
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: A one-sided one with Roger.
* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] : Several times With Rodney, a prominent rival in doing evil.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: There is no C in his surname.
* [[Take Over the City|Take Over the Tri-State Area]]
* [[Team Rocket Wins]]: In Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo.
Line 437:
* [[Unfortunate Names]]: "Doof" is German for "stupid".
* [[Villain Song]]: He explains a number of his plans in song.
* [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|Villain With An F In Evil]]
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl|Wouldn't Hit A Girl]]: Even if he knows she's [[Freaky Friday Flip|really a male platypus]]. It was still a girl's body, then it might count.
 
== Major Monogram ==
Line 473:
[[File:isabella22_9574.jpg|frame|Evidently, she and [[Hey Arnold|Helga Pataki]] go to the same clothing boutique.]]
{{quote| ''"Hi Phineas. What-cha doooin'?"''<br />
Voiced by: [[Kingdom Hearts: Three Five Eight358 Days Over Two2|Alyson]] [[Camp Rock|Stoner]] }}
 
A girl who lives across the way from Phineas and Ferb and is a good friend of theirs. Isabella is a multi-talented member of the [[Scout Out|Fireside Girls]] with [[Merit Badges for Everything|quite a number of accomplishment patches]] to her name. She has a not-so-secret crush on Phineas, and likes to pop in once an episode to ask Phineas "[[Catch Phrase|Watcha doin'?]]" and offer to help.
Line 497:
* [[Heart Symbol]]: When she sees Phineas [[Establishing Character Moment|in the first episode]].
* {{spoiler|1=[[Heroic Sacrifice]]/[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]}}: At the end of the movie.
* [[Hey, That's My Line!]]: Whenever someone else says her catchphrase to Phineas, she [[Berserk Button|won't be too happy about it.]]
* [[Hiccup Hijinks]]: In "One Good Scare Ought To Do It!"
* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: To Phineas.
Line 529:
A shrimpy [[Bollywood Nerd]] who's more than a little obsessed with order and studying. He's a friend of Phineas and Ferb who occasionally joins in on their daily activity, or even seeks out their advice. Occasionally, they also seek out his, usually when it comes to things like checking their math.
----
* [[All There in Thethe Script]]: His surname, which different sources have given as either Patel, Rai, or Raj.
* [[The "B" Grade|The A Minus Grade]]
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Usually averted; he's typically the most submissive and [[Non-Action Guy|least action-oriented]] of Phineas and Ferb's gang. Check out what he's capable of when not being [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome|overshadowed]] by Phineas and Ferb's brilliance in "Bully Bromance Breakup" though...
* [[Berserk Button]]: When he finds out there's no grade given in the band contest.
* [[Big Guy, Little Guy]]: The little to Buford's big.
Line 550:
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Although it probably helps that Ginger doesn't get to show it as often.
* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: When you're [[The Smart Guy]] in the [[Five-Man Band]] led by two geniuses who are already bright enough as is, there really isn't much for you to do. It is something of a trend that Phineas and Ferb go to Baljeet mostly for help with trivial matters such as to find out [[What the Heck Is An Aglet?|what the tip of a shoelace is called]].
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man|Sensitive Guy to Buford's Manly Man]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: Let's see... he has frequent [[Ho Yay]] moments with Buford, has a [[Victorious Childhood Friend|sort-of]] [[Girl of the Week|girlfriend from India, Mishti,]] [[Under the Mistletoe|kissed a girl named Wendy in the Christmas Special,]] and somehow managed to [[Oblivious to Love|become the crush of Fireside Girl Ginger]]. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Oh]], and despite all that [[All Love Is Unrequited|he's been implied to have a crush on Isabella.]]
Line 585:
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Which, we assume, is why he named his goldfish after her.
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: {{spoiler|In "Bully Bromance Breakup", he begins working with Doofenshmirtz to take over the Tri-State Area. However, upon being told he'd never get to see his friends again, Buford decides to quit and return to being a one-nerd bully.}}
* [[Gasshole]]: His character on Team Improbable, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Belch Man]]. Especially since he brings up [[Personality Powers|personality power]] implications.
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: He speaks perfect French. Then goes on to quote Voltaire later in the same episode.
** As if that wasn't enough, his song in the P & F Holiday Favorites Album CD had him state a brief historical background about the song "Good King Wenceslas" to the tune of said song, surprising Baljeet.
Line 595:
* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: His only friend as a child was a gold fish.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: Beyond his first two appearances he hasn't demonstrated any real bullying behavior, except towards Baljeet (and even then it's more a [[Foe Yay|frenemy]] relationship).
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: In the Meatloaf Festival episode.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: In other cases, like the Christmas special.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: See [[Dumb Muscle]] and [[Genius Bruiser]].
* [[Pet the Dog|Pet The Goldfish]]: He likes animals. The whole reason he became the local bully in the first place was to protect his goldfish.
Line 667:
----
* [[Action Girl|Action Girls]]
* [[All There in Thethe Script]]: [[Word of God|Swampy Marsh has confirmed]] that their names are Gretchen (the one with the glasses), Holly (the African-American one), Katie (the blonde one), Adyson Sweetwater (the one with the sleeveless uniform), Milly (the curly-haired one), and Ginger (the Asian one).
* [[Ascended Fanon]]: Ginger is related to Stacy.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: One of their patches has them wrestling alligators, as an example.
Line 717:
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: A few episodes have tried to expand on his characterization, but for the most part, he doesn't seem to have any personality except "ambiguously (or not) likes Candace".
** Later episodes avert this, giving him more personality. He's incredibly dedicated to his sister Suzy, responds to Candace's antics with some accepting amusement and snarking, and feels hurt whenever Candace thinks he would dislike her for trivial things, as she's wont to do.
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]: He embodies this trope for Candace - the boys' invention will have vanished, her mom thinks she's making it up and she just looks like a fool...but then Jeremy will do something nice for her.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: With Candace, though later than most examples.
 
Line 742:
{{quote| '''Stacy''': By the way, the best part was when you used him as a table.}}
* [[Token Minority]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Her name is sometimes misspelled "Stacey", but that's actually the masculine variant of the name.
* [[Straight Man]]: Becomes this to Candace over time, as Candace's neurotic tendencies [[Flanderization|become more and more apparent.]]
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: All of her female relatives in Tokyo look like clones of her.
Line 784:
== Suzy Johnson ==
=== Suzy Johnson ===
[[File:Suzy01_6191.jpg|frame|This is a Face of Evil, [[The Legend ofLegendof Zelda CDiCDI Games|which you must conquer]].]]
{{quote| ''"I am, and always will be Jeremy's favorite girl!"''<br />
Voiced by: [[Kari Wahlgren]] }}
Line 819:
* [[Nerd]]
* [[Non-Action Guy]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: The character's first name is officially spelled Carl on the show, despite the ends credits spelling it with a K. Perhaps due to this, "Ain't No Kiddie Ride"'s credits lists him as Carl Karl.
* [[Those Two Guys]]: With Major Monogram.
 
Line 841:
* [[Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind]]: She wears a [[Goth]] style and has a bit of a sarcastic streak, but she can be quite friendly to others, as shown in "Summer Belongs To You."
* [[Goth]]: People keep referring to her (or more often her look) as a goth, but she refers to her clique as being punks.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Oh, Vanessa, [[Adventure Time (Animation)|why are you so mean?]]
* [[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. }}
Line 915:
* [[Satellite Character]]: With Heinz. He really doesn't get a lot of characterization on his own, and what he does get tends to change from episode to episode. In "Tree To Get Ready", he's a little self-absorbed, but not overly unpleasant; in "The Beak" and "She's the Mayor", he's considerably more of a dick to Heinz; but in "Magic Carpet Ride", he is genuinely regretful of his part in Heinz's [[Freudian Excuse]] [[Monster of the Week|Of The Week]], and spent the last two decades attempting to make up for it.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Well, "Doofenshmirtz" isn't a small name at all, but the idea still stands.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity|Jerk With Good Publicity]]: Though how much of a jerk [[Depending Onon the Writer|tends to change from episode to episode.]] On the one hand he's implied to be part of the reason Danville is such a nice place to live, having done a lot of genuinely good work and helped a lot of people, and his niece Vanessa says she likes him. On the other hand, he's rather full of himself, lazy when he can get away with it, and often quite a jerk to his brother ("And I've already wasted half the morning not caring at all about being on time for our golf game.")... then again, he spent twenty years restoring his brother's painting he accidentally ruined (though, that may have just been because he respected the quality of the work, but he did go to lengths to credit Heinz in his speech), so it's a really mixed bag.
 
== Norm The Giant Robot Man ==
Line 925:
A slightly scatterbrained android build by Dr. Doofenshmirtz to destroy Perry the Platypus in the episode "Greece Lightning", based on the Doctor [[Literal Minded|misinterpreting an old film strip]] about how [[Green Aesop|"the greatest enemy of the platypus is man"]]. Norm eventually started showing up in later episodes helping out Doofenshmirtz with the occasional evil scheme. He has some of the personality attributes of an eerily-cheerful office-worker from [[The Fifties]], with an occasional sarcastic streak.
----
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: "A Real Boy"
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Anti-Villain]]
Line 996:
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]
* [[Talking Withwith Signs]]: This is how he communicates with humans without a translator.
* [[Translator Microbes]]: His various mustaches.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Averted when he's speaking his native language, but when he uses a translator his voice becomes surprisingly deep.
Line 1,071:
* [[Mandatory Line]]: He literally has just ''one'' line in the entire movie, and it's not even by his credited [[Non-Singing Voice|voice actor]]!
* [[Non-Singing Voice]]
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]
* [[The Quiet One]]
* [[The Silent Bob]]
Line 1,105:
* [[Determinator]]: Like Candace-1.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Evokes this response in Buford-2 when she beats the circuits out of a swarm of Norm-bots with nothing but a staff.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Not exactly a jerk, but {{spoiler|she's willing to sacrifice the first dimension protagonists to keep her own brothers safe, not to mention being reluctant to help the first dimension Phineas and Ferb at first until Phineas-2 pleaded with her. She later returns and saves the first dimension characters.}}
* [[Knight Templar Big Sister]]
* [[Lady of War]]
Line 1,149:
* [[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)
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Jerk]]: {{spoiler|He appears to be feeling bad after Candace-2 betrays the first dimension protagonists, but he was mostly just regretting not getting his nachos.}}
* [[Precocious Crush]]: To Candace-2. More evident than his First Dimension counterpart.
* [[Rebellious Rebel]]: He got so good at resisting he started resisting the Resistance.
Line 1,200:
* [[Mad Scientist]]
* {{spoiler|[[Overprotective Dad]]}}: Even more extreme than Doof-1. A deleted scene reveals that he uses his power to {{spoiler|banish any boy who shows an interest in his daughter}}.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]
* [[Talking to Himself]]
* [[Unfortunate Names]]
Line 1,215:
----
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Anvil Onon Head]]: [[Subverted Trope|A Norm-Bot fell from a great height, and it looks like it was going to fall on Perry the Platyborg, then it misses]]. [[Double Subversion|Then he gets hit by a bus]].
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
* [[Badass]]: He's Perry but with a built in mace, wings, lasers, tail barb, armored body... and is the [[The Dragon|general]] [[Evil Counterpart|of Doof-2's army]]. Yikes!
Line 1,225:
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Perry-1, though he was converted to the evil side presumably against his will.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: His evilness is removed courtesy of being electrocuted.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: While being part machine gave him some advantages over Perry-1, during their climactic showdown his tail barb spears a turkey and the rigidity of his mechanical parts prevents him from getting it off. He is then defeated when the turkey ends up on his head and he backs into an electric socket, which shocks him through his metal body.}}
* [[Implacable Man|Implacable Platypus]]: Even being hit by a bus only delays him a little.
* [[Reforged Into a Minion]]
Line 1,271:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: This is one of their two modes. In this mode, they play it even more so than Norm-1.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]
* [[Mecha -Mooks]]
* [[Split Personality]]
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: In cuckoolander mode.
