Phineas and Ferb/YMMV: Difference between revisions

'''Candace''': Oh, ''everything'' is just ''wonderful''.<br />

'''Linda''': And... Phineas and Ferb? What are they doing?<br />

*** Linda's shocked reaction pretty much clinches it.

**** And as if ''that'' wasn't enough, Candace's "No, don't!" reaction after ''that'' makes it even ''worse''.

** Candace. She has enough fans to be popular, but also many people who see her as [[The Scrappy]].

** Isabella. Basically, if one does not ship Phinebella, nor find her attractive (Yes, [[Perverse Sexual Lust|there are people who do]]), then odds are they will consider her a [[Purity Sue]].

* [[Beta Couple]]: Ferb's crush on Vanessa is seen as this to Phineas and Isabella.

* [[Better On DVD]]: Though plenty of entertainment can still be drawn regardless of what order you watch the episodes, watching multiple episodes in a row, especially the earlier ones first, will allow you to understand more of the jokes made in the show, since a huge chunk of it's later humor is based on [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] and [[Subverted Trope|subverting]] the [[Running Gags]] and making [[Brick Joke|Brick Jokes]] and [[Continuity Nod|Continuity Nods]] to other episodes.

* [[Die for Our Ship]]: Candace/Jeremy shippers don't like Suzy because she doesn't want the two to be together.

** If you look it in a squicky way, Suzy might have this attitude toward Candace in relations to her brother...

** Some fans didn't take the "Three guys from Kenya" joke in "The Curse of Candace" well.

* [[Ear Worm]]: [http://phineasandferb.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_songs Have fun.] This goes so far as for earworms to be referenced, with Doofenshmirtz saying "Great, now I have ''this'' song stuck in my head" upon hearing 'Perry the Teenage Girl'.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoDC5hhCWIs E-V-I-L B-O-Y-S!]

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: With the fanbase the size as it is, a case can be made for most (if not all) secondary characters, with the Fireside Girls (Gretchen in particular, since some fans [[Toy Ship|pair her with Ferb]]) being the most prominent examples.

** Vanessa Doofenshmirtz also has a huge fanbase.

* [[Epileptic Trees]]: A ''lot'' of fans were once convinced that Heinz Doofenshmirtz is Phineas and Candace's biological father, to the point where the creators ''themselves'' had to step in and [[Jossed|give it the boot]]. Despite this, many fans still believe this theory to be true.

* [[Every One Remembers the Stripper]]: All anybody seems to remember about the episode "A Real Boy" is the [[Fanservice Extra|backup singers]] in the eponymous song.

* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Vanessa, although not ''technically'' evil (according to her, anyway).

* [[Fandom Nod]]: In "What a Croc" the fan ship of Ferb/Gretchen got a brief nod after three nearly three seasons of extremely minimal interaction between the two characters. Although the nod itself was very brief, featuring both sharing a jetski after showing Phineas and Isabella quite happily doing the same.

* [[Fan Dumb]]: "The Chronicles of Meap" ended with a joke teaser trailer for "Meapless in Seattle"; this was a part of the shtick that the episode was an episode of ''The Chronicles of Meap'' entitled "More Than Meaps the Eye", and satirized action/thriller trailers. Some fans saw this and thought it was a real trailer, and demanded it to be made, causing the once [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] to stop being a joke and start being more like [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when the creators yielded and made it. Opinions vary, though, on how much some fans not getting that it was a joke ''really'' affected the episode actually being made.

{{quote| '''Narrator''': A long time ago in a studio in Burbank, California. A ragtag group of animators made a fake trailer for a Meap sequel they never intended to make. Unfortunately, everyone wanted to see that episode so the animators were forced to write it and incorporate all these seemingly unrelated scenes. I guess the joke was on them. }}

* [[Fan Preferred Couple]]: Ferb and Gretchen has become popular with those who have a hard time overlooking the age gap between Ferb and Vanessa (but have an easy time overlooking the fact that [[Ships That Pass in The Night|Ferb and Gretchen have hardly interacted at all in the show itself]]).

* [[Foe Yay]]: Doofenshmirtz and Perry seems to be a parody of this, with their interactions being explicitly treated like a romantic relationship at least half of the time.

** "It's About Time!" was just ''full'' of Foe Yay, with Doofenshmirtz getting a new nemesis actually presented as an affair. Perry was heartbroken.

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Do ''not'', I repeat, do ''not'' bring up the subject of [[Spongebob SquarePants]] around the fans. [[Dueling Shows|It gets ugly]].

* [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships]]: [[Covert Pervert|Ferb]], [[Unwanted Harem|Baljeet]], and [[Informed Attractiveness|Doof]], in particular.

* [[Less Disturbing in Context]]: Near the ending of "That Sinking Feeling" Baljeet says to his friend Mishti "So you are telling me that even though you are now a girl, you still like to have fun just like in the old days?". If one has not seen the opening scene of this episode, that line can come off as '''incredibly''' disturbing, [[Transsexual|for obvious reasons]].

** Perry while in pet mode can also count, ''especially'' when he's sleeping.

*** And when he's [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|a baby]].

** Parallel Doofenshmirtz from [[The Movie]] crosses this when he tries to kill Perry, Phineas, Ferb, Candace ''and'' normal Doofenshmirtz via a lava-filled death trap. Though he was kind of already halfway there since he {{spoiler|brainwashed the Perry of his dimension into being his cyborg slave and his dictatorship of the Tri-State area forced the Parallel Phineas and Ferb to live a sheltered, reclusive life without fun or summer and Parallel Candace to esentially lose her childhood.}}

** Doofensmirtz's parents cross it in his backstories a lot. Often [[Crossing The Line Twice]].

* [[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!'''"

** 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.

* [[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.

* [[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]].

* [[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!]''.

** 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''.

*** 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...

** 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".
