Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Because there might be too many for the other page, put amusing moments here.

  • This exchange:

Phineas: (after finding out Perry's a secret agent) "I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble processing this right now."
 Perry: (Gives him a pamphlet)
Phineas: (reading) "So You Just Found Out Your Pet's A Secret Agent"-- I DON'T WANT YOUR PAMPHLET!!!

    • Later:

Phineas: Wait a minute, I just realized, you could've been cleaning your own litter box this whole time!
Perry: *shrugs*
Phineas: Oh, we are not done with this conversation!

Phineas: I shouldn't have thrown away the pamphlet...

    • And it hits again:

Major Monogram: Didn't you read the pamphlet?
Phineas: No.
Major Monogram: Does anyone read those things?!
Carl: I tried to warn you, sir.

Doof: So, I just noticed that your scar goes over your eyepatch...
Doof-2: Yeah...?
Doof: ...Nothing.

    • Also:

Doof: Coming at you Fridays!
Doof-2: What's that? Are we doing a TV show together?

Doof: Oh no, it just sort of sounded like that. Y'know, we could. We should!

Doof-2: Hm, maybe we're not so much alike...

Doof: That can be your catchphrase! You're the grumpy one! Eh?

    • The line "Twice the evil! Double Doofenshmirtz!" is, in itself, hysterical.
    • From the two Doofs' Villain Song, complete with one holding a photo of actor Lorenzo Lamas:

Doof: Do llamas weird you out?
Doof-2: Yeah, are they camels or sheep?
Doof: No, no, I meant Lorenzo.
Doof-2: Oh, that's right!
Both: He played Meap!

  • This image is at least worth a chuckle, even if it doesn't make you crack up—but it's more likely to inspire the latter reaction. (And a bonus! The image itself is spoiler-free!)
  • End of the movie laughs: to avoid having Perry reassigned, they use Doof's Amnesianator to wipe everyone's memories of, as Phineas calls it "the best day ever." Just before Major M pulls the switch, Isabella double checks to make sure that its as going to wipe their minds of the entire day. Cue Isabella planting a kiss on Phineas. Her smug as hell expression after the fact only adds to the hilarity.

Phineas: (over-joyed) Isabella!
Isabella: Hit it, Carl!
(Major M pulls the switch)
Phineas: Wait, wait wait--!

  • "Has anyone else here been leading a bizarre double life? (Beat) Put your hand down, Ferb."
    • The funniest part of that: Phineas knows Ferb has his hand up without even looking, implying that he already knows about Ferb's double life. Makes you wonder what kind of double life Ferb could have that Phineas not only knows about, but is completely unfazed by.
  • The Normbots are a veritable goldmine of these, but one in particular:

Normbot: (whose head has just been covered with an animal skull) Get me! I'm a Georgia O'Keeffe painting!
Normbot: I use aggression to mask my insecurities!
Normbot: YOU ARE TAMPERING WITH THE... (Ferb pulls a wire and the less-threatening Norm head pops up) Let's make omelets!

    • Special mention goes to Muffin Time.
      • Doof-2 finds out Perry, Phineas, Ferb, Doofenshmirtz and Candace are escaping from the Goozim.

Doof-2: *Spit Take* AFTER THEM!
Normbot: Muffin Time, Sir!
Doof-2:(chucks muffin at Norm's head) YOU'RE BROKEN!

      • After the gang escape into A Brand New Reality, Doof-2 decides to invade their dimension.

Doof-2: ...And someone get me another muffin!
Normbot: But it's not Muffin Time!

  • Agent P manages to distract Doof-2 for a few seconds by transmitting an image of naked Monogram. Major Squick ensues.
    • Monogram's in the shower, and the chain-reaction - Doof-1 covers his eyes, then Doof-2, then Platyborg, then the Normbots - is icing on the cake. Apparently a bubble-clad Monogram is Brain Bleach material.
    • "I told you! Not between 3:30 and 4:00!"
  • Doof-2's reason for being even more evil than our Doof: he lost his toy train as a child. Even our Doof can't follow the logic.
  • Granted, this moment being in the middle of a fairly serious situation kind of diminishes it, but Doofenshmirtz realizing that Perry deliberately peed on his couch has got to count. Especially considering Perry's face at the accusation.
  • And of course, Doofenshmirtz's complete inability to recognize Agent P without his hat. Doof-2 had already spent a couple minutes trying to point this out to him, and eventually decides to have Platyborg attack Phineas and Ferb to force Perry to prove it. When Perry breaks cover to fend him off, we get this:

Doof-1: Wait a minute, I'm confused. Why does their platypus fight so good?

  • Perry rolls his eyes and finally puts on his hat*

Doof-1: PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!

Doof-2: ...Really?

Doof-1: ...What?

Doof-2: (Face Palm)

    • Followed soon after by Doof-2's presentation of Perry's Clark Kenting.

Doof-2: You know, I'm starting to see why you haven't become ruler in your dimension".

  • "I'm Jeremy Johnson and I'm here to rescue you!"
  • During the final battle Baljeet wears The Beak armor only to lose the bottom half, leading to one of the funniest moments in the entire series in this troper's opinion:

Baljeet: Has anyone seen my pants?
Buford: They're over there. (points)
(Cut over to Irving with a pair of crowbars and "The Beak" pants, going up and down in the pants over a pile of dead robots.)
Irving: WOLVERINES!

    • It's even funnier when you notice that Irving's essentially Teabagging.
  • "This might not be the best time to tell you this but I actually flunked jungle gym in grade school."
  • Baljeet in The Beak suit sissy-fighting Norm-Bots... and knocking them out of the sky.
  • Doof-2 asking Phineas how to open the portal: Phineas says no for obvious reasons... so Doof-2 tries a dog-sock puppet and gets the exact same results.
    • Just the way that Phineas refuses every single time is both hilarious and a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
      • And later after Doof-2 dooms regular Doofenshmirtz with the rest of the cast... using the puppet.

Doofenshmirtz: If I had a nickel for every time I've been doomed by a puppet, I'd have... ten cents. Which isn't a lot, I'm just saying it's kind of weird it happened twice.

Phineas: I thought you couldn't spell 'platypus' without 'us'.

Ferb: (Beat) Well you could, but it would be "platyp".

  • There's something inherently funny about one of the gizmos being used in battle at the end being the continent-painter from the theme song.
    • How about the frozen yogurt machine? It's clearly visible during sections of Robot Riot... taking out Normbots by throwing globs of frozen yogurt at them.
    • The platyposterior as well. Not so good for its intended function, hatching eggs, (at least according to Candace) but great for slapping the crap out of Normbots.
  • Buford-2 is so good at resisting that he started resisting the Resistance.

Candace-2: Buford - keep resisting!
Buford-2: No!
Candace-2: Excellent!

  • Just the very fact that the Resistance consists of the Fireside Girls is a hilarious twist. Made even better by their simultaneously girly and badass hideout and Isabella's threatening "Whatcha doin'?"
  • What about when Doof-1 asked Candace to unlock his chain while they were dangling over lava?

Candace: Are you even paying attention?!
Doof-1: (realizes where he is) Oh, right. It can wait.

Doof: Aaaand march! *BOOM!*

    • Also his realization that the self destruct button on the portal generator is unnecessary, and the fact that he later lapses and includes one when he rebuilds the portal generator.
  • Existentialist Trading Cards, for all you philosophers out there.

"I'll trade you two Satres for a Nietzsche!"

    • And Baljeet's reaction when the trade was complete, Genius Bonus or not:

"Sucker!"

  • Phineas and Ferb using Doof as a bridge between planets in a different dimension, followed by a comet(?) burning him.
    • On his butt, no less.
  • You can always get a good laugh out of a grown man wearing an eyepatch and an evil black labcoat hugging a toy train.
  • This troper just cracked up at Perry's entering Dr D's place: he bursts in, all action as usual...then sees the boys. Cue slow-motion fall to the ground and Oh Crap face.
  • Some of the dimensions that they pass through on the long way home feature funny shout outs to recurring characters including the Psychedelic Zebra that always calls Candace Kevin (they even seem to recognize each other), the giant green alien from "She's The Mayor", a Q*Bert dimension, and a dimension full of Giant Floating Baby Heads.
    • Even better, when Candace sees the Zebra, she quickly pretends she doesn't know him while he grins. And the newspaper the Zebra's reading reads 'Kevin Wins Election'
      • And the newspaper's image is a silhouette of Candace behind a podium.
  • VICTORY GUM!
    • Made hilarious by the note on the packet 'Even if you win by forfeit'.
  • Some of the very random explanations for the gadgets Perry's given.

Carl: Of course, you'll only need this if you're attacked by a royal or a member of parliament...

  • Stacy's opinion on the importance of evidence;

Stacy: I am a woman of science. At least, that's what my horoscope said.

    • And speaking of Stacy...

Candace: Now, does anyone need to go potty?
*Beat*

  • Stacy raises her hand*

Candace: Fine, make it quick.

  • The fact that the transportation in the Doofenverse seems to involve harnesses and giant hooks on buses.
  • Blink and you'll miss it-at at the end of the movie when everyone is getting their minds wiped, Doofenshmirtz is included in the bunch. But he's wearing a strait-jacket, and he's not happy about it.
  • Platyborg getting a roast chicken stuck to the back of his stinger tail and then his head, and Perry's reaction.
  • May or may not be intentional, but in the online game "Robot Riot," Phineas' reaction upon finding out that Perry is a secret agent is completely opposite of his reaction in the movie, presumably to simplify the plot.

Game!Phineas: "Perry is a secret agent? Cool!"

  • Stacy talking to the "mysterious force," making a shrine for it, asking it to bring Candace back...and then when Candace does reappear, Stacy follows-up by asking for a car, too.
  • "We figured out a way to bypass the entire security grid! It was cool."
  • "A unicorn Stacy, a unicorn! (in childlike voice) Hi, I'm six!". Because it was quite a Take That against the non-periphery demographic and she was so cute when she did it.
  • "Perry, no! We do not bite the elderly!"
    • "Again, ow..."
  • Naturally, the deleted scenes contain all sorts of gold, but the one that stood out the most was this:

News Anchor: Good morning, Danville! Here's our top story...Well, what appeared to some to be a giant invasion of killer robots from another dimension actually turned out to be...a weather balloon! And now, here's Kip Morris with the weather.
Normbot: *Holding a report* RAIN WILL FALL!

  • This exchange right after Robot Riot:

Stacy: Where are you going?
Candace: I'm going to bust my brothers! And I'm going to fail!

  • The movie tie-in magazine includes a comic on how Doof-2 turned his Perry into the Platyborg, as well as the Amusing Injuries that occured while trying to program him, the first of which being the scar over Doof-2's eyepatch. ("Now I look like a fool!" "I think it looks trendy!" "Quiet, Normbot!") After several weeks of this, Doof-2 finally succeeds in getting Perry-2 to obey his commands without causing hilarious accidents. He sends Perry-2 and his robot army out to conquer the Tri-State Area, expecting all to know his name. The newspaper headline next day reads "Platypus conquers Tri-State Area"

Doof-2: You have got to be kidding me! Curse you, Perry the Platyborg.

  • "Everything's Better With Perry" has hilarious lyrics of the What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome? variety. It's also quite amusing the way Phineas and Ferb have their whole room programmed to interact with Perry as they start their day. And then there's Ferb singing backup.
    • In the same vein, "Summer (Where do we begin?)" features a clip where Ferb is holding a hose and accidentally sprays Phineas with it as the latter approaches. So he holds the hose up and sprays himself in the face, too. Infallible logic.
  • This bit:

Phineas-2: Mom says that talking to neighbors can be dangerous
Linda-2: (from the basement) It's true!.

  • More funny dialog:

Candace: You guys are so...Wait, why are there four of you? Are we inside the mysterious force? And why is Isabella suddenly fashionable?
Isabella-2: What do you mean, 'suddenly'?

    • "Seriously, how do I dress in your dimension?"
  • The ridiculous alarm clock, which wakes Perry so he'll chortle and wake Phineas.
  • Doof's interaction with Marie Bar... err... Mrs. Thompson.

Mrs. Thompson: Who is this?
Doofenshmirtz: I'm Heinz Doofenshmirtz. Your neighbor, for like 12 years.
Mrs. Thompson: Who?
Doofenshmirtz: I live in the penthouse. I wear...labcoats a lot. I speak with the accent I am currently speaking to you with.

Mrs. Thompson: Oh, just like my neighbor upstairs.

Doofenshmirtz: (excitedly) Yes exactly!

Mrs. Thompson: I'm sorry, he's not home right now, you'll have to come back later.

  • For a hilarious Freeze-Frame Bonus, on the very brief scene near the end that shows the OWCA building from outside, there is a sign that says: OWCA Headquarters and in smaller print: (Pay no attention to this sign).
  • All of Doof-2's lines in the accompanying online game are hilarious, as are Baljeet-2 being a Deadpan Snarker and Ferb's reaction to Doof-2's plan to trap the protagonists in a maze filled with Normbots ("Is that the best you could come up with?").
  • The Norm-Bot with the skull on it's head:

"Dig me, I'm a Georgia O' Keefe painting."
