Line 120:
** Doofensmirtz's parents cross it in his backstories. Often [[Crossing The Line Twice]].
**While the series never rules out the possibility of redemption for Doofenshmirtz (and he’ll never be pure evil), he did do something terrible when he decided that he was going to destroy anyone who can’t make up their mind. Perry decided to have him be arrested after that.
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: "Hey Ferb, I know what we're going to do today."
** Ctrtrtrtrtrtrtrtrtr
** [[Harmless Villain|Doofenshmirtz]] [[Laughably Evil|Evil]] [[Ear Worm|Incorporateeeeeeed!]]
* [[Nausea Fuel]]: In "Hide and Seek", {{spoiler|the kids are shrunken to miniature size, and Baljeet is stranded on a ceiling lamp with the air conditioner blowing right at him. He avoids freezing to death by ''hiding inside the exoskeleton of a dead fly''}}. This probably makes for good [[Nightmare Fuel]], too.
** "'''I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO TO SURVIVE!'''"
*** [[Fridge Brilliance|Justified by]] {{spoiler|[[Square-Cube Law|the square-cube law]] making it much harder for small things to maintain a high body temperature.}}
** Baljeet's brain in "Cranius Maximus". It's basically swollen up to the point where it's larger than the rest of his head and ''barely staying inside his skin''.
* [[Never Live It Down]]: Fans seem pointedly fixated on the one time Phineas has ever yelled at anybody (Candace in "Summer Belongs to You"). Case in point, look how frequently it comes up on these pages.
** Based on this wiki, fans seem to have latched on to Charlene's one-time statement of "No one's evil," taking it absolutely literally as evidence that she's hopelessly naive, rather than accepting it as a simple sweeping generalization meant to dissuade that silly notion of Vanessa's that [[Cassandra Truth|her father's evil]].
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]:
** The "Smile Away" reformatory school from "Phineas And Ferb Get Busted!".
** [[Mind Screw|"Monster from the Id"]]. [[Fridge Horror|If Baljeet didn't unplug the machine in time...]] And for more [[Fridge Horror]], by the end of the episode, {{spoiler|Buford is still stuck in Candace's subconscious, ''flirting'' with her id. Seems wacky enough, but the viewer realizes that Candace isn't hooked up to the machine anymore. He could be trapped in a [[Mind Screw]] world '''forever'''.}}
** '''Escape From Phineas Tower'''.
** The end of "Canderemy", where Phineas and Ferb [http://images.wikia.com/phineasandferb/images/a/a9/Ferbneas_and_Isabella.jpg become fused into a single being.]
* [[No Yay]]: Suzy's relationship with Jeremy gives of ''serious'' [[Yandere]] vibes.
** Also, at the end of "Monster from the Id", we get Buford quite obviously flirting with Candace's Id. No, not Candace, ''her Id''. As in, ''[[Mind Screw|an anthropomorphic part of her psyche]]''.
* [[Older Than They Think]]: Buford's character in the parody of ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' is an amalgamation of a lion, a tiger, and a bear (oh my). Few fans seem to realize that the writers of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' didn't make this up. It's a creature from [[The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|the ''Wizard of Oz'' novel]] that was left out of the film (called a Kalidah).
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: It's a Disney Channel show with an 8-14 primary demographic. Don't be surprised at how many people fall out of that range... including [[Psych|Shawn Spencer]] and [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]].
** "Aren't you a little old to be watching ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]?''" [[Ironic Echo|Yes, yes I am.]]
** To put this in perspective: ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' [http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/091221 of all places] used an obscure [[Shout-Out]] to the show.
** Also notable to be one of the few [[Disney Channel]] shows that ''[[Cracked.com]]'' likes, according to [https://web.archive.org/web/20131203125717/http://www.cracked.com/funny-2632-phineas-ferb/ its topic page] about the series.
** The fact that it is a Disney channel show that has had 2AM reruns says something about how many adults watch it.
** Hell, even ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'' referenced it in Episode 53. Says something if Seto Kaiba can instantly recognize a P&F reference.
** Looks like we can add [[Guns N' Roses|Slash]] to the list who liked it enough to co-write an insanely epic song for the movie.
* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: Phinbella and Canderemy.
** The latter which was the title of [[Ascended Meme|an episode.]]
** Ferbnessa for [[All Love Is Unrequited|Ferb and Vanessa]] and Ferbtchen or Fretchen for [[Ships That Pass in the Night|Ferb and Gretchen]].
** Phinerb for [[Not Blood Siblings|Phineas and Ferb]]
** [[Foe Yay|Perryshmirtz!]]
** Parl, [[Crack Pairing|Carl and Perry]].
** Baljinger for Baljeet & Ginger.
** [[Ho Yay|Bujeet]], or less commonly, Balford.
** [[Squick|Baljinda]] also exists [[Crack Pairing|for some reason.]]
* [[Relationship Sue]]: Jeremy is probably the most tolerant, compassionate boyfriend in existence, what with the [[Genki Girl|crazy ranting and screaming]] Candace is prone to. His Sue-ishness was more apparent in the earlier episodes. More recently, [[Character Development|he has improved quite a bit]].
* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: This was how a lot of fans reacted to the news that the [[The Movie|2013 film]] was going to have [[Roger Rabbit Effect]] in it. And the film's ''plot'' hadn't even been released at that point.
* [[Scare'Em Straight]]: Smile Away Reformatory School from "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted"
* [[The Scrappy]]: Irving, but more recent appearances [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap|have redeemed him in some viewers eyes.]] Suzy was also one once due to how relentlessly cruel (and creepy) she was, but she has since gained a bit of [[Character Development]] and become somewhat less divisive. Some consider Baljeet [[The Scrappy]], since he's a one-joke character and an ethnic stereotype.
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: Some fans of the show think that the quality has been going downhill during Season 3, though some believe [[Growing the Beard|otherwise]].
** More accurately, the episodes from the middle of the third season just haven't been as good as episodes from the second season and the first half of the third. That said, the show is still quite good - as far as [[Seasonal Rot]] goes, P&F manages to get off pretty easy, what with the show still being of a pretty good quality, even if it'll never be as good as it was from ''Dude We're Getting the Band Back Together'' up until the [[Big Damn Movie]]. (Which it might)
* [[Ship Mates]]: A good portion of [[Toy Ship|Phineas/Isabella]] shippers will just pair off the rest of the boys/girls in the group. The most common ones are [[The Lancer|Ferb/Gretchen]], Baljeet/Ginger, Buford/Adyson, Django/Milly, and Irving/Katie. Notice how they don't take Ferb's [[Precocious Crush]] on Vanessa into account.
** Phineas/Ferb fans will almost always ship Jeremy/Candace.
** And to a much lesser extent Ferb/Isabella and Phineas/Django.
* [[Signature Scene]]: "Get on the trike!" is ''easily'' the most remembered part of "Summer Belongs to You".
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Usually when a Photoshopped object or background appears. Sometimes played as [[Stylistic Suck]], other times not.
* [[Squick]]: Baljeet hiding inside the corpse of a fly in "Hide and Seek".
** Candace saying "Barf-a-roni with cheese!"
** ''[[Wicked (novel)|Wicked]]'' fans could find Doofenshmirtz and Baljeet's parody characters in [[The Wizard of Oz|"The Wizard of Odd"]] particularly [[Squick]]y, considering that they are [[Official Couple|the Wicked Witch of the West and the Scarecrow]], respectively. (Though the episode was based on the original book and the Judy Garland film.)
** Probably played for laughs, but the skin on Ferb's face slipping off like a hood as he rides a spaceship (followed by him pulling it back onto his skull without any ill effects).
** Isabella may be cute, but some people find her obsessive stalking crush on Phineas very creepy.
** The way the red rubber boots in "Wizard of Odd" have (literally) "grown on" Candace's legs looks rather squicky.
* [[Stoic Woobie]]: Ferb can be this at times.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: The "Give Up"-song: Candace gives up trying to bust her brothers (though [[Comically Missing the Point]] her aunt was making), only for her aunt to convince her to never give up. While "never give up" is usually a good [[Aesop]], when Candace gave up she stopped stressing out and relaxed.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: Bango-Ru, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iXPwdbJrbQ especially its convention].
** "Ducky Momo" appears the be this universe's equivalent to ''[[Barney and Friends|Barney the Dinosaur]]'' and other such sugary-sweet toddler shows, which is probably why Candace catches so much grief for liking it (or believes she would).
** Jeremy and the Incidental's song from "The Best Lazy Day Ever".
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx8ZpD_kOg8 Isabella's pony] from "The Magnificent Few" (start at 5:12).
** '''Meap's Planet'''. According to him, cuteness is valued above all other things on that place.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: See [[Phineas and Ferb/Tear Jerker|here]].
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]: Django. A sort of [[Sixth Ranger]] to the main group, he even got a full episode focused on him (Oil On Candace) in the first season. Nowadays, he's been overshadowed by Irving and really only appears in cameos.
** It doesn't help that was kinda bland. Or at least, he didn't have a single defining trait like most of the main cast do.
*** Well, he was good at art.
* [[Toy Ship]]: Multiple. The most prominent of these would be Phineas and Isabella.
** Baljeet and his friend Mishti in "That Sinking Feeling". [[Snap Back|We'll probably never see her again, though.]]
** Some fans also like to ship Ferb with Gretchen (the Fireside Girl who wears glasses).
** [[Ho Yay|Baljeet and Buford]] deserve a mention.
** It should be noted, though, that P&F is only a partial example, as all the characters are canonically "Under 15".
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Heinz Doofenshmirtz. He's a hunchback with crooked teeth, a long nose and crazy hair and has even admitted on screen that he's ugly, but he's still completely adorable.
** Also, Doof's giant pet cockroach from Canderemy. ''Awwwwww.....''
** Even Buford could count as well.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Balloony. [[Nightmare Fuel|Just]] ''[[Nightmare Fuel|look]]'' [[Nightmare Fuel|at him]].
** ''[http://images.wikia.com/phineasandferb/images/4/4b/Ferb_Live_Cast.jpg The Best Live Tour Ever!]''.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Suzy's [[Precocious Crush|feelings]] [[Yandere|for]] Jeremy, while [[Played for Laughs]], would be indicative of [[Brother-Sister Incest|something very serious]] in real life.
** In ''We Call It Maze'', the girls seem to have consistently gotten the physical challenges while the boys got the mental ones.
*** Of course, in this case the boys's group contained Phineas, Ferb, and Baljeet. Not so much a case of boys being smarter than girls as ''these'' particular boys being smarter than pretty much ''everyone''.
** "Summer Belongs to You" sends the message that it's a good idea to jump a bike over a construction site (if it's to win a bet). The show is full of far-fetched dangerous hijinks, but this is one that impressionable young viewers would be able to imitate.
** In "The Wizard of Odd", Linda basically tells Candace to ignore the advice given to her by a clearly trusted official in favour of the fun way...that she was morally against the whole time and wanted to see "the wizard" for anyway.
** No mention of Jeremy's "Set the Record Straight" song? The lyrics certainly give off vibes of "a man feeling romantic love for anything that [[Queer As Tropes|is not]] [[Bi the Way|a woman]] is [[Heteronormative Crusader|abnormal]]"...
*** Uh, where did you get that? The most disservice Jeremy did to homosexual relationships in that song is simply not mention them. Which brings up the question: why should a teenage boy trying to serenade his girlfriend be forced to work man-on-man relationships into the song he's using to do it?
*** I think it may be the title...
* [[What an Idiot!]]: In "Candace Disconnected" the boys give Candace a phone with an app that will send her to anywhere she wants just by saying "Go to" followed by the destination. She leaves before they can tell her about the app and then ends up accidentally transported to Easter Island. She just assumes transporting you to Easter Island is the app's one function. Even after being accidentally transported twice, she still hasn't figured out how it happened.
** Phineas, Ferb, and their friends fail to realize that Candace is wearing a camera in "Leave the Busting to Us," even though she was right in front of them when she put it on ''and'' when she talked to the ''Bust 'Em'' producer about getting footage of the water slide.
** Phineas's [[Oblivious to Love]] has always been a bit face-palm inducing, but it officially drops to idiot levels in "Summer Belongs to You".
** Doofenshmirtz...[[Ditzy Genius|ugh, where do we even begin]]...
* [[The Woobie]]: The main example is Doof. As a child, he had to throw his surprise birthday party. [[Hilariously Abusive Childhood|His father named the dog "Only Son".]] When he was born, neither of his parents bothered to be there.
** Candace. One must feel sorry for how hard she has to try to bust her brothers, even if her determination can be irritating to some. Also in "Candace Gets Busted
** An odd one, but Buford in "Voyage To The Bottom Of Buford". In his song, he was shown to be so lonely he was playing ping-pong with his goldfish!
** Phineas' [[Oblivious to Love|obliviousness to love]] can put Isabella into this territory, especially during her song "City Of Love" in "Summer Belongs To You." {{spoiler|She gets over it, and also gets back at him by kissing him right before he was about to voluntarily get all of his memories of the previous day wiped out.}}
*** Not everyone feels sorry for her, and some even consider it [[Stalker with a Crush|karma.]]
** Norm becomes one officially in ''A Real Boy''.
** Phineas, who is normally unbelieveably cheery and innocent, completely breaks down when things start going wrong. (See Summer Belongs to You, Christmas Vacation, and [[The Movie]].)
