Phineas and Ferb/Fridge: Difference between revisions

** And then after seeing the movie, you realize WHY Perry makes all their inventions disappear...

* In promotional pictures for the upcoming movie, alternate!Candace, who lives in a grittier, Doofenschmirtz-controlled Tri-state Area, is shown with what appear to be a Bo staff. Normal Candace plays every instrument starting with "B". Coincidence, or will Alternate!Candace utilize a bow, a Bazooka, a Blunderbuss, and a [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Banjo]] in the fight against the regime?

* How did Dr. Doofenshmirtz get back from Mars, when the portal to Mars was sucked into itself? Easy, Perry's been scanning all of Phineas and Ferb's inventions, to be replicated later.

* In 'Raging Bully', Doof's plot has to do with his birthday and birthday cake. Near the end of the episode, when his plan is foiled, he goes out of his way to save the cake before trying to make a getaway-- he even said "I still have my cake!" when it seemed like he was going to get away for a change. Moments later, a group of [[It Makes Sense in Context|Dunkelberry bats starts to swarm him]], destroying the cake in the process. Doof literally could ''not'' have his cake and eat it, too.

* Candace couldn't remember buying that poster about hypnosis, or understand why she ever would have bought it. It must be because the person selling them used hypnosis to make her buy it. Maybe this isn't so much "[[Fridge Brilliance]]" as it is "this troper taking way too long to get the joke," but still.

* If anyone's ever wondered why the Eastern European-born Heinz Doofenshmirtz has such a good command of Spanish? Look no further than Meatloaf Surprise and the mention of his grandfather, José Doofenshmirtz.

** Or else he only likes older girls.

* "Attack of the 50 Foot Sister" establishes that Candace is 5'8". The way she's drawn, her neck makes up 8% of her height. So, if we take her absurdly stylized anatomy seriously, her neck is about 5½" long. In "Run Away Runway" there's a scene where the French fashion designer's assistant holds a tape measure up to Candace's neck. If you pause it, you can see that her neck does indeed measure 5½". That's right, the creators actually went to the trouble of calculating the length of Candace's neck for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sight gag! Incidentally, since the guy with the tape measure is French, it should probably have been marked in centimeters instead of inches.

* Mitch's nickname "Big Mitch" makes sense considering that "Meapless in Seattle" showed that other, regular Meapians appear to be much smaller than him. {{spoiler|That episode also revealed that he was actually inside a mechanical suit the whole time, but not even Meap knew about that so presumably the other Meapians wouldn't have either.}}

* This is more obvious than many examples here, but it still took a while for it to click for me. At the end of the title sequence, Candace yells out to her mother, presumably not too far offscreen, and tells her that Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence. What happens immediately afterward? ''The title sequence disappears.''

* Though it could be argued that Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz is able to cobble together his various -inators and still get them to ''work'' just because of the [[Rule of Funny]] alone, "Out to Launch" and "Thaddeus and Thor" both imply that Doof is incredibly skilled with his hands. Perhaps the same dexterity that lets Dr. D perform great shadow puppets and get the cup-stacking world record also comes in handy when building his outlandish devices!

* The worst punishment on Meap's planet being "time outs" explains why it appears that Meap needs to defeat and arrest Mitch over and over again.

** It gets worse: The invisible one would make the girls invisible... but hide them from their parents, their friends.... that is a [[Fate Worse Than Death]]. Granted given how little thought Doof usually gives his plans he probably didin't think of that, but that arguably makes it worse. It is lessened a bit by the fact that The Fireside Girls are close freinds of our heroes, who would no doubt make turning someone visible their project for the day, but imagine if another troop who doesn't have a pair of geniuses they work with on a regular basis got caught in it. "shivers"

** If made invisible The Fireside Girls would also be blind considering their corneas would be made invisible.

** Then again, Phineas and Ferb ''did'' want to reennact some war in Danville in "The Curse of Candace"...

** This one could also be an in-universe example for Doofenshmirtz.

* Gee, after the natural disasters in Japan I sure hope Stacy's cousins are okay, considering they were never mentioned after "Summer Belongs to You!"...

** They were never mentioned ''before'' "Summer Belongs to You!" either. Besides, there's no indication that the recent events in Japan also happened in the [[Pn F]]-verse. We don't even know which summer the show takes place during.

*** No, not that. Meapless in Seattle has provided proof that the thing that is his mother-in-law is ''not'' one of his kind.

* In ''Picture This'', Doofenshmirtz builds a mime-inator, a device that traps people into invisible boxes and uses it to trap all mimes over the tri-state-area, but nobody notices because when the mimes try to call for help and get out of the invisible box, it looks like just one of their own acts. Eventually, Perry destroys the Mime-Inator and the invisible box Doofenshmirtz used on him, ''but we never see agent P freeing the trapped mimes''.

* In "Perry Lays an Egg", the strange bird that hatches from the egg is said to be "the natural enemy of the platypus". Presumably one had built a nest in Phineas and Ferb's yard because it knew there was a food source (i.e.: platypus) nearby. As a secret agent, Perry would probably have been able to defend himself from threats had the newly-hatched bird not flown off, but imagine if he'd been a regular pet platypus (and we know there are a good number of platypuses in Danville)...

* The ending of "Monster of the id". Just imagine what would happen if Baljeet didn't shut the machine off in time!

*** It seems like it was a error, but then [[Fridge Brilliance|when you think about it]], Doof was [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|talking to us]], not Perry.

* Apparently Doofenshmirtz is depicted to be a victim of this, with his over-the-top schemes. Subverted once when he brought the matter up himself.

** If he's evil why does he have to change? Instead everyone else should change to meet his standards.

* Phineas and Ferb get within a few seconds of failing to make it around the globe in forty hours. How is it that they are able to build a skyscraper that reaches the moon in less than twenty hours even though it spans almost ten times the distance?
