Phineas & Ferb's Many Bizarre Halloween Specials 

I'd be down for a 36-hour Phineas and Ferb retrospective.

I would ABSOLUTELY watch a 36 hour long phineas and ferb retrospective

Remember that time Phineas and Ferb were in Star Wars and Ferb became the ultimate sith lord

I like to think that Grandpa Fletcher using refrigerators to describe the size of Dr. Phinestein's monster is like, his actual understanding of how the Imperial system works.

I say "Bigger than a refrigerator but smaller than a really big refrigerator" at least once a week

Just have to say, I can toltally see Linda and Lawrence scarying people with a gorilla suit. Halloween brings that out in people.

“Candance has the memory of a goldfish” actually explains so much about her actions over the course of the series

Night of the Living Pharmacists is PEAK. I was just rewatching the Milo Halloween special and the Dwampy animation style really was peak in Phineas S4 - Milo S2. As a huge fan of S4 and MML, my biggest concern for the reboot is just how stiff and poor Snipple does with the PnF artstyle, as seen in Candace Against the Universe and Hamster and Gretel. It has gotten slightly better over the course of Hamster & Gretel, but it can't compare to that peak smoothness and fluidity it used to have (while not feeling obnoxiously digital)

Night Of The Living Pharmacists will always be my favorite episode of the whole series. It just does so much right with it's story and characters. It really feels like the team put their all into this one, in particular. Hoping Season 5 can reach the peaks that this episode did.

Kinda wild that a show with 4 seasons that takes place during one summer, but managed to fit in 8 Halloween episodes 😂

18:38 They brought in Michael J. Fox to play the werewolf because he’s openly made several comments and jokes about how much he HATED playing a werewolf in the Teen Wolf movie

Ferb doesn't react to Monty and Vanessa because he's a Giga Chad. He's too chill to get jealous, and STILL gets the girl.

I find it funny that the Ferbenstein episode is the only thing I've seen get the Jekyll and Hyde story correct

I politely disagreed with many opinions in this video, but I still enjoy you recapping each one. Happy Halloween.

One thing you forgot to mention was that George A Romero, the director of the original Night Of the Living Dead, made a cameo as the reporter Don Atadad, as well as the two guys from Shawn Of The Dead The fact that they got three major celebrities from zombie movies, especially the guy who invented the zombie genre in the first place, is just awesome

Honestly I think it’s funny how ferb was the more socially aware one of the two brothers while phineas is the more imaginative one of the two

14:33 if I had a nickel for every Disney Channel Halloween special where one of the main characters turned into a cow on Halloween night, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

18:38 Fox is playing not-Jacob, a teenage werewolf, which makes his appearance a references to the original 1985 Teen Wolf staring Fox

I can't watch your videos without getting impressed by how different the original dub is, I laughed so much with how weird Phineas' voice sounds to me

Phineas and Ferb did horror right whenever it went for it.

The bit with Candice saying Phineas and Ferb messed up the backyard with what they did for their mom to just see Baljeet and say "Candice that's mean"; only for at the end when the house returns and disappears again for Candice to say "IT'S RETURNED" and again it's just Baljeet in the backyard and her mom going "Goodbye Candice" just absolutely sends me cuz she's beyond thinking her daughter's imagining her brothers doing stuff/framing them, she just walked away when she thought her daughter was calling Baljeet an "it" 😂😂😂😂 She was done for real 😂😂😂

Dud really hit us with the "my childhood teacher died around that time so i get sad when seeing that epesode" out of nowhere. damn fella you good?

bro worked on it and set it out at 10pm halloween night. props

"Soggy little moist boy" hit too close to home. My window is leaking and my clothes are damp. Very effective insult, 10/10

That Isabella confession reminds me of miles asking the deaf girl out in spiderman 2. I'm just like new york is about to be ground zero for a symbiote invasion and you choose now to ask her out. Like I wish writers could find a less cringe way to do this because if everyone lives are in danger your love life should be the least of your worries

As a person who also grew up watching the show as it came out, i have gotten the opportunity to share it with my cousins who are 10+ years younger than me and i do agree with the dip in quality, but it's especially noticible in season 4. It's not terrible because P&F is always great, but whenever we're picking episodes i've noticed the majority of the episodes that i don't like are all season 4 ones

DAN came to my middle school back in the day and none of the kids believed her was dr. Doof until he let out a big ol "ill get u perry the platipus" in our mpr. Still remember from all these years

This just made me realize how much of Phineas and Ferb I didn’t watch. Only recognized the first 2. Those were classics.

The Michael J. Fox cameo in The Curse of Candace is a reference to his role in the 1985 film _Teen Wolf,_ seeing as he's taking the Jacob role as the werewolf in the parody.

Excuse me, the word is obviously Ussy-perb.

I genuinely can't tell which season I prefer because after S1 I don't know which episode belongs to which season but I have noticed a majority of the show's most iconic quotes and visual gags come from the first season

I keep forgetting that early Phineas and Ferb aired in the same years as SpongeBob’s later seasons.

I will die on the hill that "Jump Right To It" is peak. I will not elaborate because i cant justify this opinion, its catchy damnit.

Night of the living pharmacist used to freak me out as a kid

Anna Paquin was a guest star because she was the main character in the HBO Show True Blood. She was also the youngest person to ever win an Oscar

Why Monte and Vanessa didn't get together in the 10 year future skip was so so strange. I really hope that their relationship continues.

I remember loving the night of the living pharmacists and I remember that they had Shawn and Ed from Shawn of the dead cameo

I literally just rewatched all of these episodes. I wanted to watch something Halloweeny, but our TV faces very large windows, so I needed it to be child friendly for the kids walking by. Honestly, it was very fun.

So Dan Povenmire has said that the decrease in stories about the kids and more about candace or perry and Doof is by design. The concept of the show is that phibeas and ferb building an invention? That's not the story of the show, that's just the setting. So after season 1 and part of 2 established that setting, 3 and 4 were able to go more wild with mix-ups and entire eps around Doof/perry with little to no phineas and ferb. So it makes sense that you might prefer the first season if youre looking at a show about the kids inventing things

You didn't know that Phineas and Ferbenstein had it's sister episode be unrelated to Halloween, and even as a kid I've noticed the issue. But on the subject of Face Your Fears, Night of the Felis spoofed Night of the Lepus, and the movie's still unintentionally funny. Also, Night of the Pharmacists is still one of my favorite specials out of this entire show. I didn't know Shawn and Ed from Shawn of the Dead cameo'd as a kid until I saw the comment section! Lots of me, lots of me, lots of me!

Season 3 is my favorite season, easily. I feel like there’s such a consistent stream of top notch quality. Practically none of the episodes miss. Season 4 hasn’t aged “quite” as well. I think it’s still great, and I think the highs it reaches exceed that of 3, but it’s not quite as consistently good as 3. I didn’t necessarily notice a dip in quality, just more episodes & jokes not quite landing the way they had in the past. This show is still GOAT to me and I am so looking forward to what they have cooking in the revival.

The way your mom reacted to Doof turning into a cow, is just like how my grandma reacted when she heard Cat Valentine's voice. It was funny seeing her reaction

28:35 YES! thank you, thank you thank you! This has bugged me for years and let me be clear i love phineas and ferb deeply, but even younger i was starting to catch on to something feeling odd in later seasons but i couldn't put it into words. But yes, the drawn out jokes( i think its growing into one of my pet peeves. I always want to yell "Get on with it!) the rambling, lack luster jokes, it was subconsciously coming to my head. I was noticing the tropes in Milo Murphy's law, and Candace against the universe. So dont worry you are not alone. If you ever do a retrospective of phineas and ferb, dont hold back on the dip in quality you seem to notice. It does show. Just do what you always has done.😄✌️✌️💙

Let's be honest. Everyone here would be down for a 36 hour Phineas and Ferb retrospective.

While I don’t necessarily agree with your opinion on the seasons, I think 2 and 3 were the show’s best, I can respect thinking season 1 was the show at its best given how creative the inventions were and how they were the focus most of the time. But it’s mostly because I may feel nostalgia for a show’s growing pains era, but I definitely look back to the stuff before a show hit its stride less fondly for quality. I can more agree with the tiering of the episodes, though I’d rank everything at minimum C tier. Not sure if I would exactly tied them like you did, but I have no real arguments there.

He’s just slowly going insane every new upload

6:40 got personal in less than 5 mins and even with a Club Penguin song, absolute w of a vid already.

I remember I got in trouble for something on the night the third special aired and got grounded from the TV so I was up in my room looking up some website that was livestreaming Disney Channel with my headphones on so I could watch the Halloween special without anyone else knowing. Truly the Internet was a different place back then

I love Phineas and Ferb so much. It was so fun, but also so easy to watch. My personal favorites were when they were in another world like the fantasy world, or even the Frankenstein story because I thought it was fun that even if they were in a completely different world their characters at their core were still the same.💕🖤

Just wanna say, Doof is totally justified in his fear of bats. They can carry a ton of diseases, rabies, histoplasmosis, ebola, and some SARS and coronavirus variants. If you you’ve never read about rabies, it’s terrifying. I’d recommend reading up on it unless you have health related anxiety or related issues, because it may be triggering in the case. It’s actually considered to be partially responsible for early vampire myths.

Idk if I’m more entertained by all the great effort and genuine infectious passion you have when making these videos, or all the hilariously unpopular and bad takes you have on the series you talk about

Uploading a Halloween video an hour before Halloween ends? Now that’s dedication.

I think the joke in Curse of Candace may have something to do with the guest stars' roles in other vampire/werewolf media! Michael J. Fox was of course, famously, in Teen Wolf, and Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were both in True Blood! I do think it's a waste of having them come on to just be a part of a smaller gag in the beginning of the episode, but maybe those roles are why they asked them in the first place! :)

2:33 well to be fair, she is always hyper focused on trying to bust her brothers, so perhaps in that rush of excitement trying to bust them all the time, she forgot about the dog.

Hey that thing about one of your teachers, Even if she didn’t care about your story telling I bet she was happy that you had a strong interest. Some of my old teachers used to claim they really care about your interests but never did anything that showed it. Her listening is a form of care man, hope she’s doing well wherever she is now.

PLEASE PHINEAS AND FERB IS LIKE MY FAVORITE SHOW

Doofenshmirtz rambling is my favorite part of some of the later seasons.

I’ll be honest, up until I rediscovered the show in middle school or early high school I forgot this show existed. Because the Doof & Perry stuff was so good I gas lit myself into remembering it as Perry the Platypus show & only remembered those parts.

I'm obsessed with True Blood, so seeing they actually had Sookie and Bill make an animated cameo is making my adult heart screech. I had no idea back then! Edit: It's funny because I don't know who Michael J. Fox is lol

Alot of the jokes feel like progressions of jokes that they had made earlier but just kept going with it because they didn't feel like thinking of anything new. Specifically "Doof ranting to himself about nothing" got old in later seasons, sure, but the first time you hear his whole "Big Laundry" rant it's the funniest thing possible

PLEASE drop a 36 hour phineas and ferb video! As a huge fan of the series, although i think we disagree about the length the quality goes on for, id love to hear someone else share that love and passion! Just this was amazing!!

Love your content! Happy halloween man! 🎃🎃🎃🧡🧡🧡🖤🖤🖤

I remember seeing "night of the living pharmacists" once... And it kinda horrified me. It was still Phineas & Ferb, but the "Zombie Apokalypse" vibes were so strong that I was confused because it almost felt like a legitimate horror movie. And now I love it!

The way he said "Now I'm a thrust trap" was so fucking adorable

Personally, I loved the later seasons, and sometimes I actually preferred the later seasons.

Regarding the issue of Halloween episodes coinciding, I generally posit that there are at least three parallel timelines in which the Phineas and Ferb episodes take place. That would explain a lot of inconsistencies and is more satisfying than just saying There Is No Continuity.

I really love all your videos, honestly id watch you talk about anything

40:55 yes there used to be so much stuff online in the infancy of social media! I remember finding the blogs of staff from shows going all the way back to Kim Possible and American Dragon. So many inside stories. So many sketches and storyboards. All lost to time (and restrictive social media policies).

Keyan: “We had a rollicking gay time” Me: Keyan is gay! 😄 Keyan: “But in a heterosexual way” Me: goddamit

Absolutely wild opening 10/10 glad youre talking about phenias and ferb

Glad to know that peer pressure works in the moment. And when you're not in control of the car. 17:00

yay this feels right 😎 perfect for this channel lol was just rewatching suite life just for the part of the halloween episode yesterday

You forgot to mention how much of a banger the song One Good Scare is

Seeing that they're gonna have an episode called "Agent T" that ISN'T about Terry the Turtle, is upsetting to me, as one of the biggest Terry the Turtle stans out there. (he's my favorite OWCA agent)...

when Night of the Living Pharmacist premiered I saw it, and I always thought the Doof clones were saying "not zombie" it wasn't until like 4 years later that I saw it again and realized they had been saying "lots of me"

Werecow on a rampage is a highly underrated song from Phineas and Ferb

It's kinda refreshing to hear someone talk about the bad parts of Phineas and Ferb instead of the endless praise the show receives

I will wait as long as it takes to watch a 36 hour long Phineas and Ferb retrospective

wow early gang, and a nostalgic episode? nice :)

I love the Phineas and Ferb Halloween episodes. I'm a little biased because independently, I love Halloween and P&F but even then, they're great! Haunted By You is probably my favorite P&F song, and that's saying a _lot_ since the songs are immaculate. Plus I'd consider Lonely Vampire S-tier. One Good Scare is probably high A-tier too

The King is back with another legendary video

you’re so right about doof and perry being the best parts of the show. that golf club line is just one ex of why doof is my fav character

I respect all the effort, time, research and passion that went into this video. Take my Like

You should do a multi-hour Disney show retrospective on Jessie. I know this is a weird video to put this request on, I only put it on this specific video because this is your most recent video.

Thinking about That's The Spirit in retrospect, it definitely did something.

Love me some Phineas and Ferb Holiday specials 🥹🥹

18:49 I think they had michael j fox in it because he was in the original 80s “teen wolf” and twilight has vampires and werewolves lol

I’m gonna be real: I fully enjoy the later seasons as much, if not more, than the earlier seasons. I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say they actively dislike the later seasons compared to s1

Firstly, Id love a PnF retrospective, I honestly hope you end up covering every vague memory of a show I have from my childhood. Right now I'm hoping for the Ant Farm retro because I havent seen anyone talk about it

i have always felt the exact same way abt late p&f im so glad to see someone say it

45:18 reading the tweet made me think most likely meep was going to be involved in the deleted ending. hope that helps keyan and keep up the great content!

Can you go over the Mostly Ghostly Franchise one day? The Franchise always confused me.

OMG OMG OMG! I have seen this and watch this video on RU-vid and it was awesome! I love Phineas & Ferb and it's Halloween specials! My favorite ones have to be the one with Perry as the Frankenstein's monster! I also love how all of these Halloween episodes turn out! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Monogram was probably at the party on Doof’s property because it was Doof’s property. He’s convinced there will be an inator to tell Perry the Platypus to stop.

Ending Halloween with a bang. October went by fast af this year and it’s my favorite month but I still enjoyed it. It’s technically over now it’s past midnight but Halloween isn’t done until I go to sleep so this is how it’ll end this year

keyan if u upload anything im watching it idc how long or what subject

I genuinely thought it was just because I’d grown out of Phineas and Ferb and the Disney channel but I remember after a certain point the show just completely stopped being entertaining. But, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one feeling the same way. After 4 seasons the whole “what can we do in ONE summer” shtick gets tired. It felt like they were reaching but I loved the show as a kid so I just moved on. Glad, I’m not just a bitter old man and pre-teen me actually was thinking critically

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who thought the show decreased in quality over the years. good vid as always!

Thrilled to see someone else who shares my view that the show really changed its style of humour and tone in its later years. I like seasons 3 and 4 fine but I miss that whimsical feel seasons 1 and 2 had. Back then the inventions the boys made were like classic childhood dreams come to life (time machines, space travel, giant robots) which gave it this much needed groundedness and helped the characters feel like kids. Then by season 3 the show buys into its own hype and loses a lot of what made it click with so many people. It becomes so self referential and obsessed with itself that the characters lose so much of their personality for the sake of being vehicles for 4th wall breaks that are very hit or miss. And that issue is worsened in season 4 where they are scraping the bottom of the barrel for inventions.

Night of the Living Pharmacist was my favorite episode when I was a kid, so glad to be validated here
