Phineas and Ferb/Tropes Q To Z: Difference between revisions

* [[Raised by Wolves]]: Dr. Doofenshmirtz claims he was raised by a family of ocelots after his birth family disowned him.

* [[A Rare Sentence]]: From "The Temple of Juatchadoon":

'''Rhode Island Fletcher:''' *Does so* }}

* [[Reactive Continuous Scream]]: In "Comet Kermillian", between Candace and a [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels|squirrel]]. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].

** Judging from this bit, Phineas seems to be a Ferb/Vanessa shipper.

{{quote|'''Phineas:''' Hey, where's Vanessa?

'''Phineas:''' That's too bad. [[Hypocritical Humor|I thought the two of you, you know, a boy, a girl, alone, in the City of Love -- I thought romance was a forgone conclusion!]] }}

** Doofenshmirtz seems to be a Johnny/Vanessa shipper, despite what one would expect. In an in-character [[DVD Commentary]] for "The Chronicles of Meap", however, he objects to Ferb hitting on Vanessa.

** The creators seem to like teasing ''lots'' of different pairings, actually—aside from the [[Official Couple]]s they've also dropped hints that Baljeet may have a crush on Isabella, Vanessa flirts with Jeremy at one point before quickly losing interest, and Albert's interaction with Candace...

*** And for some reason, [[Foe Yay|Perry and Doofenshmirtz]] despite the [[Interspecies Romance|species difference]].

* [[Show, Don't Tell]]: Defied in one episode to parody the [[Silent Bob]] trope.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Though they do sometimes [[Did Not Do the Research|forget to do this]], there are plenty of examples. Take, for example, the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation gag from "Out to Launch". With the obvious exception of the bomb/smiley face punchline, that ''is'' what the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation looks like.

''But they're particles when you reflect 'em.'' }}

** The Lion-Tiger-Bear Guy from "The Wizard of Odd". No, it's not just a pun on the famous quote, there ''is'' an animal in the original Wizard of Oz book that is a hybrid of all those animals.

* [[Shrug of God]]: The creators, when asked Phineas and Ferb's age; though the original pitch called them nine, this was retracted so that now they're merely "[[Vague Age|less than fifteen]]".

** In "Quantum Boogaloo", however, they had to pick an age, so ten was given, as twenty years in the future Future Linda says that the boys are thirty years old. However, she may have been rounding; [[Word of God]] was that fans shouldn't necessarily take her literally.

{{quote|'''Phineas:''' Can I have everyone's attention? Please don't panic. We're experiencing technical difficulties. Calmly head towards the exit in a calm, orderly--

''A large chunk of structure falls right behind him.''

'''Phineas:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Okay, now you can panic]]. }}

* [[This Is Wrong on So Many Levels]]: From "Journey to the Center of Candace", when the boys find out they're inside Candace's body:

*** Worst one for Candace yet: in "A Real Boy", Candace SUCCEEDS... then Linda gets zapped by Doof's "Forget-inator" while the boys' device is in the air, then when the boys land, Linda sees again, then is zapped while they're out of sight ''again'' ...this repeats a few more times until Candace's post-hypnotic suggestion to forget about busting her brothers kicks in again leaving Linda to wander off right after a final zapping.

** It even happened to a one-shot character: Professor Ross Efrop in "My Fair Goalie". He came up with the idea of Football X-7, but he was forced into hiding because Britain's anti-palindrome atmosphere at the time, with his name being discovered to be a palindrome. He nearly comes out of hiding when his creation was realized, but was forced back when he found out people ''still'' rallied against palindromes.

'''Linda:''' Check-eth it out? Really?
