Phineas and Ferb/Fridge: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

* Another from the above troper: in "Don't Even Blink", Phineas says that he has no idea why their projects keep disappearing, but that "you should never look a gift horse in the teeth". The origin of this saying is that it was common back in the old days to a) look at a horse's gums to determine its age and to b) give old horses away to unsuspecting farmers, and the saying basically means that you should never question something good because you might not like the reason it happened. The reason the inventions keep disappearing was because of Perry and Doof fighting, and in the movie Phineas seemed pretty upset that Perry was an agent.

** 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?

* Candace constantly uses her [[Blessed With Suck]] to protect her brothers. Her inability to bust them, protects against the dystopian alternative realities we've seen.

* 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.

Line 78:

** We also don't know if the children are awake or not! And imagine what it would be like for them if they were...

** Picture that...now close your eyes and imagine ''[[Tear Jerker|Phineas and Ferb themselves]]'' having to go through that. Because, during the entire time that alternate timeline existed, ''they did''. '''For twenty years.''' Just thinking about it....*Shudder*....

* So let's say the molecule scrambler [[Family Unfriendly Death|WASN'T]] there when the steamroller came by in Just Passing Through...

** Or let's say the rollercoaster hadn't snagged on a plane that happened to be passing by. Or let's say the girls hadn't managed to cross the chasm in the maze using shoelaces. These are just a couple of examples. It's only through sheer luck that Phineas and Ferb haven't killed themselves and everyone they love.

*** To be fair, those kind of situations tend to be started by [[Contrived Coincidence]] at least as often as they are resolved by them, so Phineas and Ferb can't exactly be blamed for them.

Line 137:

*** 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!

Line 205:

** She's not lactose intolerant, she's ''allergic to dairy''. Which could make it either slightly better (if it's only as severe as her wild parsnip allergy), or ''much, much worse''.

** Speaking from experience, some dairy products such as yogurt or processed cheese can have a lesser effect than straight up milk or butter. If the cheese in question was single-wrapped American slices, there's a chance she could eat it without (much) effect.

* In ''Brain Drain'', the kids eventually (accidentally) take control of Perry's movements and actions, under the impression that it's a "Perry level" of their video game. At one point, Buford takes the [[It Makes Sense in Context|flies buzzing around the dump to be powerups]] and the kids test that theory out, much to Perry and Doof's disgust. In ''Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?'' Linda mentions that Perry's food is [[I Ate What|mostly earthworms and insect larvae.]] Problem?

** It was a junkyard fly. They live in the sun-baked stagnating bacterial breeding ground of human garbage. Even a platypus, which normally digs its food out of muddy river banks, would find that gross. Alternately it might have been because it was a hard-shelled adult insect, which isn't generally part of the platypus diet.

** Or Perry doesn't actually like his food and just eats it to keep up his "just a pet" ruse. After-all, he enjoys the 'human' food Doof shares with him.
