The Phineas and Ferb Retrospective-Inator 

“Why do we always see cow skulls in the desert? And why do we only see the skull; did the body die somewhere else? It makes no sense.” One of my favorite quotes.

"Ahhh, Perry the Platypus! Looks like you've fallen into my TRAP to make you read this in my voice!"

“It happened on the day of my birth, both of my parents failed to show up.”

Perry the Platapus: *Says literally nothing.* Dr.Doofenschmirtz: Well it all started when i was a little boy...

They said Phineas and Ferb didn't have a lesson to teach... But I learned what an aglet was...

I still wish we got the third meap episode they had no intention of making

**Look a sponge and a starfish, there must be something we can make out of this... oh wait that’s ridiculous!**

It would be cool if that Obama guy actually existed instead of just being a Phineas and Ferb character

Literally anyone: whats an aglet? People who watched phineas and ferb: *THROUGH THE EYE OF A NEEDL-*

Across The Second Dimension will always feel like the grand finale to me.

Phineas: "Is anyone else here leading a bizarre double life?" *Ferb raises hand* Phineas: "Put your hand down Ferb."

We can’t forget the greatest song in the entire series. MY NAME IS DOOF AND YOULL DO WHAT I SAY

Isabella: “what cha doiiinn??” Phineas: “Building a roller coaster” Isabella: “in your back yard” Phineas: “some of it” Isabella: “isn’t that kinda impossible” Phineas: “is there something I can do for you?” AHH THE SASS 😂😂😂

That title is actually quite creative, I like that. Edit: Almost 3000 likes, just wow, never got this many. Thanks.

"The new movie coming to Disney+ next year" The *WHAT*

When Obama is a forgotten side- character

But the most important thing is *GET ON THE TRIKE*

once my mom asked me was doing with such a big load of laundry and I replied with "Something evil"

Since Phineas and Ferb ran for so long, Candace's flip phone got swapped out for a smartphone. Was there ever an in-universe explanation for that? 🤔

"Is there something i can do for you?" Hearing Phineas saying that to Isabelle made me gag.

What's especially weird is how most shows tend to get more formulaic as they go on, yet Phineas and Ferb was the complete opposite. I swear, almost every episode in Seasons 3-4 seemed to put its own spin on things. Also, when I was in elementary school, our summer breaks would start around the beginning of June as well.

"Ah, Perry the Platypus! It appears you've fallen into my trap once again! The No-Longer-automatically-breathing-inator!"

I just want to say... *Who wants pie*

Anyone remember that one episode where phineas and ferb crossed over with marvel superheroes? *yeah I thought it was weird*

It's not a party, it's an intimate get together! *CANDACE PARTY! CANDACE PARTY!*

29:21 phineas, I’m not gonna get on that silly little tricycle. Candace, were in a hurry just get on. There’s no way I’m- *GET ON THE TRIKE*

Pretty sure the reason they reused the "flawless girl" tune for Candace when she's riding down the street is to make fun of how teenage girls sometimes feel that they are incredibly beautiful for short periods of time.

Best songs- 1) Busted 2) Fabulous 3) Squirrels in my pants

A Platypus? Perry the Platypus. Classic gag

Scene straight out of the Avengers films? 2nd Dimension: 2011 Avengers: 2012 Avengers films have scenes straight out of the 2nd dimension!

Jeff “swampy” Marsh once came to my school for career day because his nephew was here

16:25 Here’s a theory that I came up with that I always thought was fun. In the video game based on the movie, the game gives a recap on what’s been happening and takes the player through various other dimensions that our heroes traveled to after escaping from Doof (2nd) that aren’t seen in the film, forcing them to take the long way around, like Dr. Baljeet said. When you finish the game, it sums up what took place after the dimension hopping, where our heroes returned home and took the fight to Doof (2nd). With that not-so-brief information stated, I’d like you to scroll back up and check out 16:25. When the song ends, it cuts to black and technically goes to commercial. When it comes back, the gang finally ends up back in their home dimension, just like where the game ends. This would indicate that the entirety of the game must have taken place during one of the movie’s actual commercial breaks.

The show never really declined. Honestly season 4 had some of the best specials, but the regular episodes were a little forgettable

Whoah Phineas! which way are you facing? Good question! ... Left.

Is it just me or does perry the platypus kind of look like agent p

I always noticed the “Flawless Girl” and “She’s Candace” similarity as a kid! I always saw it as intentional, though!

I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the 36 years I’ve been listening to both *bUSTED AND SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT*

One of my most memorable lines is "Fossils! duh duh duuuhhh!" I dont know why, it just is

Whenever phineas yells at someone I fell like he’s yelling at me

I’m so upset that Django never became a bigger character, I thought he was really cute when I was younger even now I like his design and how it’s so different from the others in its normalcy

Can someone explain to me why NO ONE is freaking out about three sentient bugs being brutally blended up by a fan while screaming for their lives?

Spiritual successor? Ohhh, nonono... Milo Murphy's Law is part of the Danvilleverse. It's more of a spin-off, really.

I actually went to that live show More creepier than I thought

*Phineas and Ferb will always be apart of my childhood, and my inspiration*

"You wouldn't like him when he's angry." *"G E T O N T H E T R I C Y C L E -"*

I’m still convinced that “Night is the Living Pharmacists” is the best episode in the entire show. Change my mind

When you notice that a show’s idea is older than most of us

“Are you a top or a bottom?” Yes that’s totally not an inappropriate title for a kids show quiz

Idk if i love or hate sarcastic Phineas

MOOOOM NICKTENDO DOING A PHINEAS AND FERB RETROSPECTIVE!

“Relentlessly furious at his pet platypus for lying to him” has to be one of the best sentences I’ve ever heard

29:22 you can just hear phineas yelling *”GET ON THE TRIKE!”*

Who else would like to see a sarcastic, "self absorbed", and optimistic phineas?

0:55 yes the best phineas and ferb collectable Shrek

Anyone remembers the episode when they were playing a giant game in the entire town

Many cried at Endgame, but we all cried at Balloony's death.

Organisation Without Cool Acronym has cool acronym if you translate it to polish xD O.W.C.A means Sheep soo translation team decided to stay with origial acronym

that intro was possibly the most horrifying thing I've seen all day... and I've been on RU-vid all day.

Candace being a little overused is literally the only flaw in Phineas and Ferb. I agree with Nick when he says Candace Gets Busted! is a GREAT episode.

Dan Povenmire said in a RU-vid short that Phineas and Ferb made the setting, not the story. That Doof and Perry made the actual story. He noted that the boys’ projects weren’t even a story in themselves. This adds some perspective

OH MY GOD THE LIVE ACTION INTERVIEWS ACTUALLY HAPPENED IT FEELS LIKE A FEVER DREAM

So you're saying that you don't have rhythm, But listen what you're doing right there! With that stamp and a book you got a real nice hook! Sounds to me like you got rhythm to spare! Sherman: I have no idea what you're talking about, I've got as much rhythm as that chair! What happened to me was a tragedy, But I don't have to be a millionaire! Sherman: Look, I got a sweet deal going on here, I got all the books that I can read! All these sweet old ladies and this carpet from the 80's! What more could a librarian need? Sherman: Besides, I ain't got rhythm! No, I ain't got rhythm! Said I ain't got rhythm! I ain't got rhythm! Phineas: You're kidding me right, y-you're kidding me!? Don't you see what you were doing right then? That's a wicked groove you were starting to move! Mister, you've got rhythm times ten! Sherman: I think perhaps that you're not listening, I find it tedious to repeat. It's no big crime, I just can't keep time, I'm telling you I lost the beat! Sherman: I don't need my face on T-shirts, Or hit a power-chord guitar! They were screaming my name, I guess it's a shame. But I don't need to be a rock star! Sherman: Besides, I ain't got rhythm! No, I ain't got rhythm! Said I ain't got rhythm! I ain't got rhythm! I ain't got rhythm Phineas: Sounds like rhythm to me! Sherman: No, I ain't got rhythm! Phineas: Seems like they all agree Sherman: Said I ain't got rhythm! Phineas: But you're laying down some funky syncopation! Sherman: I ain't got rhythm! Phineas: But you got that beat! Sherman: No, I ain't got rhythm! Phineas: Look at them, they're stomping their feet! Sherman: Said I ain't got rhythm! Phineas: It's time for you to rock a brand new generation! Library patrons: Brand new generation! Phineas and Sherman: Gonna rock a brand new generation! Sherman: Cause I ain't got rhythm! Woman, spoken: Huh. Would you just go join the band? Library patrons: Ain't got rhythm! Ain't got rhythm! Ain't got rhythm! Ain't got rhythm! Sherman: Hey, I got rhythm!

angry phineas is not out of character when phineas screaming at candace "GET IN THE TRICYCLE"

"Hey Ferb, I know what we're going to do today." *fusion*

You know when he said we even get one episode that shows every fetish under the sun. I was thinking what was he talking about. Then about five seconds later I finally realize that my memory of watching that episode was permanent ruined.

*sees the Phineas and Ferb musical costumes* Mom I'm scared-

im sorry my fav song was dr doof song " my name doof and you will do what i say " "woop woop" i couldnt help myself.... i had to do what he said!!

It feels like Phineas and Ferb is having a huge renaissance lately. I knew people were nostalgic for it recently, but I never expected it to get this big, with the memes (And they aren't ironic either), people reminiscing about the show with good memories, and to top it all off, the revival movie, which has gotten so much positive reception. I'm glad that for the first time since 8 years ago, Phineas and Ferb is finally getting the recognition it deserves again, which is great, because I feel for the longest time, it has been overshadowed by Adventure Time and Gravity Falls, and has gotten sidelined by those shows in particular so much, that people credit them for starting the reinvigoration of TV animation. While they did help, and do deserve credit, I still feel that it was unfair that "Phineas and Ferb" was left out in the dust, considering while "Adventure Time" did go onto be the big hit synonymous with the decade, it was "Phineas and Ferb" that helped launch it. During the late 2000s, alot of cartoons were executive driven (Some exceptions like SpongeBob, Chowder, Flapjack, The Mighty B, El Tigre, and of course, Phineas and Ferb), patronizing to kids and underestimated their intelligence. Even then, there wasn't a huge variety of TV cartoons being made, and they were nearly being phased out in favor of teen sitcoms, thanks to the success of "Hannah Montana", and "High School Musical", because executives didn't think animation was worth investing in. However, "Phineas and Ferb" proved them wrong, as it became an instant success with kids and adults alike, with it's sharp humor, enjoyable characters, catchy musical numbers and sophistication, and would become the biggest animated hit since "SpongeBob", and "Family Guy" at that point, convincing the higher ups at networks to take a U turn, and start investing in original creator driven animation again. We really needed a show like this when it came out and especially for a good remainder of it's run. Like Mickey Mouse got people thru the Second World War, we were entering a recession that was so bad that we nearly entered a Great Depression, and everything felt so depressing and bleak. A bulk of pop culture around that time reflected that attitude too."Phineas and Ferb" with it's positive and high spirits helped people see thru it, and gave people hope for the future. I was 14 (I turned 15 within a matter of two months after I started watching the show)when I started watching "Phineas and Ferb". I had gone thru a nasty breakup at the time with an old crush of mine, suffered thru a plathora of bullying at school, and when I was about to enter high school, my nerves were all over the place, and I was nervous for how it was gonna turn out. Initially, I had no interest in it, because most modern cartoons were so bad at that point, that I thought "Phineas and Ferb" would be more of the same, but a friend of mine told me that it was actually good, and similar in tone to SpongeBob. I watched it for myself, and I couldn't believe how creative, intelligent, funny, seminal and heartfelt it was, especially for a modern cartoon at the time. I was instantly hooked, and became a fan thru the midst of the second season. I met alot of my closest friends, alot of who are like family to me because of this show, and I will always have alot of gratitude towards it because of that. Great retrospective. It took me back to my teenage years, and reminded me of why I loved this show so much in the first place, and how important it's legacy really is to animation. I have to agree that early Season 3 was the best season. Season 2 is when we started seeing into Candace's psyche, but in Season 3, it starts really exploring her personality, and embracing her as a character. I'm really impressed that for a show that has a structured formula, that it was also simultaneously able to move it's story along beyond the status quo, and move the characters, and series into new directions, and venturing new places at the same time. I can't think of any other show that has done that, except maybe Rugrats. Late Season 3, and Season 4 is when I felt the show dipped a little bit. I don't think it got bad or anything, and there are some amazing episodes in that period, but it felt like it was straying too much away from Candace, and more on Phineas, Ferb and the gang. Which doesn't work, because it really is Candace's story (Dan Povenmire confirmed as such). She is who really carries the show, and the whole crucifix is that she's a teenage girl who's trying to deal with the anxieties and fears that teenagers normally have to go thru, while having to put up with the outlandish absurdity of her brothers' zany escapades. Phineas and Ferb are plot devices who help set the story up, so surrounding entire stories around them felt awkward. According to Dan, once they wrapped up with the fourth season, Disney wanted to do a few hour long specials, which would explain why alot of episodes during Season 4 consisted of specials. I'm very excited about the movie. I had been following the development of the second movie since it was announced in 2011, and I was really hyped for it, and I was crushed when I found out it was cancelled in 2013. I had been feeling nostalgic about "Phineas and Ferb" recently, and did wish that the second movie would get made at some point, so it's appropriate that this is happening now. What makes it better for me is that this movie is about Candace. Candace is my favorite character, and the reason I loved PnF as much as it did, and felt there was a drop in quality when the show stopped focusing on her as much, so I'm glad that the franchise is going back to it's roots, and doing what it does best by continuing her character development. I hope it's good, and does justice to the series. I have been missing those characters, as they and the show as a whole do mean alot to me, so it will be great to see them again, even if for a one off movie.

The Mexican Jewish cultural festival song is so pleasing to the ears.

Phineas and Ferb is my favorite Disney series of all time so this better be really good Edit: I'm not disappointed because this was really good.

I just realized every time Perry and Doof interact Doof is literally talking to himself 😳

Phineas and ferb was my childhood, I didn't realize how much I loved the show until it ended.

Curse you Perry The Platypus! *Cues a random guy dancing like Perry*

This show was my childhood. It's been a while though, but still remember it a lot. It has far greater ups than downs, and it gives me a nostalgia rush.

11:10 I love the fact that the phone just teleports into Candace’s hand.

"we even got an episode featuring nearly every fetish under the sun" i was today years old when i learned this.

I’m watching this and getting all the references, and I realize that I’ve unironically watched every episode of Phinease and Ferb, and I don’t regret it and never will. It is a prime example of what kids cartoons now a days should be like. And I love it a lot. Season four is like, ok I didn’t ask for that but ok.

Literally like 10 minutes ago I was thinking, I should watch some phineas and ferb today

9:55 🎵I want.........................🎵 N O T H I N G .

Okay RU-vid. Fine. I'll watch this video. Will you stop suggesting it?

this made me oddly sad for some reason. like i remember watching the first episode premiere when i was 5 and i’ve watched every episode since. the show was so simple, yet to fun and creative, it really is the pinnacle of what childhood is like in a way.

The "big laundry" joke never fails to make me laugh

THE WAY HE ENDED THE VIDEO WAS PERFECT

Disney+ really needs to put all the episodes in the right order on their service...

There's literally an episode where Doofensmirthz says that the summer is never-ending

This video is a half an hour episode lol

25:02 the most "out of context" scene in the show

Busted is still one of the best pop/R&B bangers from the early 2000s, and nobody can convince me otherwise.

I wasn't expecting to ever watch a half hour long retrospective on this show. And I didn't know that I needed it so badly.

Happy anniversary to Phineas and Ferb, one of my all top favorites!

I used to watch this with my family all the time, and my oldest brother and dad loved it more than any of us it seemed. Ahh, memories(:

When I heard about Candice against the universe, I immediately said "THE THIRD MEAP EPISODE" (as a joke)

i was literally just watching Phineas and Ferb and then i turn on RU-vid and see, this

Great review! And yeah, I will agree s4 showed signs of running on fumes, although I am inclined to disagree on Act Your Age. That did feel like a fan fic, but the best kind of fan fic, the kind that gives fans closure for characters they love and puts cool new spins on established characters. That said, the show knew to quit while it was ahead, before it could really drop in quality (though I was disappointed in Last Day of Summer. Like you said, it didn't feel like a proper finale, more like something the writers cobbled together out of obligation). If you want least favorites, there's Candace Gets Busted, which had an out-of-character Phineas and Ferb make things hard on their sister, and Where's Perry, which recycled plot elements from earlier episode and was stretched out to quadruple length with no real justification for it. Also, Phineas and Ferb's subplot was lame, they really didn't do much in the grand scheme of things. The only thing I particularly enjoyed was the Savannah song.

The first Phineas and Ferb Christmas special is probably in my top 10 christmas specials of all time

*Legends say, Doof still doesn’t know what “Big laundry” meant.*

I like doofensmirtz implementation in Milo Murphy's law

If you haven't already, look up Doof's Daily Dirt on youtube! It's a lot of PnF content people miss out on.

At least we can now say we might have a longer summer vacation than Phineas and Ferb

9:04 I’ve seen every episode of this show more than once, and there was absolutely nothing here that foreshadows any-- Right, I’ll see myself out, thank you.
