The Adventures of Irving and Friends

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The Adventures Of Irving And Friends is a Phineas and Ferb Gen Fic series currently[when?] being posted on fanfiction.net, by Robbie Rotten, aka Spongey444. The oneshot series about Stacy/Albert is here.

The story is centered around the Phineas and Ferb fanboy, Irving, as we get more insight on his life outside of Phineas and Ferb. Outside of being a Loony Fan, Irving is a normal boy with a normal life. "Normal" being a relative term.

Irving: Like in the original show, he is a slightly stalker-ish Phineas and Ferb fan. He knows almost everything about the boys and is obsessed to the point where he once watched them while they slept.

Albert: Irving's older brother. He is noticeably nicer than in the original show, but is still an all-around mean guy. Other than that, he's a normal teenage boy.

The series has been well received, being called "very very funny, and very in character". It was also named the Featured article on the Phineas And Ferb Fanon Wiki in June 2011.

In May of 2011, a spin off series was made called "Albert VS", a spoof of Dan Vs.. That has yet to be started, outside of a pilot episode.

Note: Some of these tropes apply to episodes not yet released. This article may contain spoilers.

Tropes used in The Adventures of Irving and Friends include:

Baljeet: He's been acting really mean. He realized that his Mom is not that smart, he pokes holes in Buford's logic and he calls me a nerd!

    • Lampshaded in "Albert's Shaky Comment"

Albert: YOU did this! You caused that quake, you hurt thousands of people! And you made my girlfriend and her family sad! ...In retrospect that last part isn't that bad

  • Ascended Fanboy: Irving, seeing as when he first appears in the original series, he was just some kid that hung out with Phineas and Ferb once, but now he's pretty much part of the gang.
    • Lampshaded in "Irving Who?"

Irving: Awesome! When we first met I was just some stupid fanboy. Now I'm an official part of the group!

Phineas: Wait, where's Perry? Oh yea we forgot to Pick him up from Irving's house. I guess we're so caught up in supporting Non-Canon Shipping's that we lost track of time.

    • How can you mention Breaking the Fourth Wall without mentioning this line:

Phineas: This isn't a cartoon!
Buford: Yeah, it's a fanfiction based on a cartoon!

  • Catch Phrase: All the phrases from the original show are present here.
    • And Isabella is still very protective of hers.

Irving: So… Whatcha do-
Isabella: Say it and you die.

Haney: Here we go! Bug Spray Spray!
Candace: Kind of a redundant name don't you think?

  • Failure Is the Only Option: Candace is still no closer to busting Phineas And Ferb than in the original series. She almost succeeds with Irving's help in "Bugging Out", but fails due to Irving forgetting to read the label on the Bug Spray Spray.
  • Genre Savvy: Irving. Especially in "Bugging Out", where he attempts to use his Genre Savvy-ness to help Candace bust Phineas and Ferb. Of course he fails due to his own stupidity.
  • Give Geeks a Chance: Pretty much the main reason Albert ends up with Stacy
    • So much so that the oneshot series is named after this trope.
  • Halloween Episode: "The Grim Albert" and "The Irving Zone"
  • Heroes Want Redheads: Irving.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming: The ending of "Bugging Out".
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Albert
  • Lampshade Hanging: By the boatload.
  • Loony Fan: Guess who.
    • "Irving's Fan" has Truckloads of this trope everywhere.

Irwin: Oh, calm down. I was just getting some of your hair, some saliva, blood, sweat, tears-
Irving: Ewwww! Get out!
Also...
Norm: I'm fine...but how are you? You look tired.
Doofenshmirtz: Why do want to know?
Norm: Because I don't matter, only you. You're my life, I'm just your pawn.

Candace: Oh come on! There are plenty of great guys in town!...And Albert.

    • And a little earlier in the same one:

Isabella: Hey guys! And Irving.

Albert: I mean I'm more interesting! I act very mean to my little brother, but I will help him out if he benefits me. I'm a jerk with a heart of gold! You? You're boring. The only reason you exist is because Stacy needed a significant other. You're a nice guy, you can help her out in her time of need...and that's about it. You're flat and boring! You're a big bore. That is the reason you stink.

    • This is even more awesome and hilarious when you find out it's a parody of how some fans think about Jeremy.
  • The Stinger: "Ninja Dude and Fan Man" has one, to parody the stingers to the Marvel Cinematic Universe films leading up to The Avengers.
  • The Un-Reveal: One occurs in "Irving Who?" when Phineas is about to reveal what Ferb is short for. Lampshaded by Buford.

Buford: Ugh! How come whenever someone is about to say something important they get cut off? That gets annoying.

Albert: I've seen this plot before. Way too many times infact. Can't people come up with original ideas instead of re –using someone else's?

    • Done again in the Christmas Episode where a ghost shows up to make stacy find a flaw with albert. Stacy doesn't make it past the past section due to her pissing of the ghost.
