The Phineas And Ferb Torture Theory 

The boys tell their mom ALL THE TIME about what they do. Their mom just doesn't care.

ive always like the theory that Perry is therapizing Doof. He always puts himself in a position where Doof is in power, hears him out, stops him from hurting people, and usually helps him out in some way too. He was there for Doof's daughter's birthday, he's helped him with relationships and life troubles, and Doof canonically did become a better person by Milo Murphy's Law as a result.

“A crush on a boy she will never get with.” Jeremy literally sees her as his girlfriend the entire time she’s pinning for him and they’re officially confirmed dating towards the end of Summer Belongs To You.

The amount of love the boys have for candace is actually the most sweetest sibling love, and no one can beat it. I wouldn't say stacy sucks, but she's definitely not there for most of candace's life, and jeremy, he's a clueless boy. But phineas and ferb are actually the most caring people, especially towards candace. Remember the backyard beach, the treehouse fight and the time they performed "gitchee gitchee goo". Also, sometimes the boys kinda do help candace and jeremy get some alone time together, like the time they built the car wash, or at the end of the "bowl-r-ama" episode, where thanks to the boy's invention, candace was launched into the air and lands in the ferris wheel basket, NEXT TO JEREMY. XD LOL The boys are secretly matchmakers xD, but honestly they love their sister and I know candace loves her brothers as well.

"crush on a boy she'll never get with?" That's false on multiple levels lmao

I feel like perry & doofenshmirtz have that kind of joker/batman relationship. While they are on two completely opposite extremes, they both are equally unhealthy and use each other as their outlets. Hence why batman never kills the joker & perry never really imprisons doofenshmirtz

Torture is a completely inappropriate word to use. However I do think Phineas and Ferb think this is a game, the probably think that Candice worries too much and just wants to get them in trouble. As for Perry, I wouldn't be surprised if he helped the boys intentionally, but he's also helping Doof deal with his issues and get out of his head. In the episodes set after the shows run we see that Doof has a better relationship with his family and has a real job, we also see that Candice is a lawyer and it is mentioned that she's in a relationship with Jeremy. If the boys' or Perry's intentions where to hurt they could have easily prevented these things from happening.

"Crush on a boy she'll never get with" Ain't Candice and Jeremy a couple for Most of the show?

Also adding to your theory, in the second Phineas and Ferb movie when they see Candice genuinely upset they immediately make her a present so she feels better.

The boys love Candace, but they probably think of her trying to bust them as a game more than anything. As for Perry and Doof, yeah, Perry could just stop the Inator of the day and dip, but I think he intentionally listens to Doofenshmirtz 's backstories to try and help the man cope with a lifetime of tragedy and trauma.

4:35 Well, maybe she would have more friends if she got an actual life that didn’t revolve around trying to get a couple of kids in trouble. Like, isn’t she a little old for that? 5:36 He wasn’t adopted by new parents, those are his actual parents. They just had better things to do when he was being born, apparently. He *was* raised by ocelots at some point, though.

I don’t think Perry is torturing him. Think about what he actually does, he has Doof talk about his backstory, followed by either having him face a fear or if Perry can find them, having him interact with the person who hurt him, that’s not torture, that’s helping Doof deal with his past with support from a close friend. It’s basically giving him therapy.

How to forget the episode when Phineas and Ferb decide to lay down and just do literally nothing, they spend the entire day laying in the grass. And what does Candance do? she's so hellbent in busting them she goes through the hurdles of building a wacky thing herself trying to incite them to built it, they can drive her insane by doing absolutelly nothing.

This is actually a pretty good theory and we do know for a fact Perry and Doof enjoy their daily routine mentioned several times throughout the series and the brothers have also made it clear in several episodes that they know Candice is trying to bust them but they don’t seem to Care and a few times have even help her

I’ve always wondered why Candace doesn’t just mind her own business.

good Theory but the "mom knew it all" theory just makes more sense to me Phineas and Ferb are kids after all and they did a lot of things to make Candace happy too the parents are very absent and kind of shitty to Candace to the point where I'm not surprised if the mom actually knew it all and pretended not to know to make Candace insane 😂 the dad also wasn't great. Seems like a decent dude but that's about it

So pretty much Phineas and Ferb are the real villains VALID

it's weird that phineas is aware of this since he seems to be oblivious to how candace is feeling most of the time in the show I've always belived that candace just wants to make sure her phineas and ferb are safe,we don't know what happened to candace and phineas's biological dad,what if he was also an inventor and died by a unforeseen accident and candace is the only one that remembers this since she is older than phineas,she doesn't want him to get killed if something does go wrong,I've had this idea in my head for as long I can remember (which isn't saying much since I'm forgetful XD but this idea has stayed in my head for years) this could also be the reason why she's loosing her sanity,maybe she saw what happened and it took a toll on her the hardest,so whenever she sees phineas and ferb doing something,she sees her father remembering what happened,tragic events do stay with us for years and I don't care if I'm right or wrong,dan seems like he doesn't want to reveal what happened to candace and phineas's dad or to ferb's mom,so until dan proves me wrong,I like this idea of mine,and yours to,your theory also makes sense

I had a theory that Candace is schizophrenic and she’s just hallucinating all of Phineas and Ferb’s inventions. Phineas, Ferb, and everyone else just use their imagination, which is why they view everything as harmless fun, while Candace is genuinely scared or infuriated by what they create. That would explain why the inventions always disappear before their Mom gets home, and why no one else seems to question it. Candace being crazy isn’t that much of a stretch considering it’s a running gag and hysteria/obsession is a staple of her personality.

There is a theory that Candace is crazy and Phineas and Ferb are just playing with toys and when the mom comes home they put the toys away,.

I find it funny how even the dad Lawrence knows but even then the mom never knows. You would think Laurence would’ve mentioned it to her by now.

What I love about this series is that, while yes, Candace tends to suffer some misfortunes, she also has many victories. Her biggest one is that she eventually gets with Jeremy in the Summer Belongs To You special. Furthermore, while most boy geniuses in animated series like Dexter or Jimmy Neutron tend to act pretty aloof and socially distant, and also tend to have a bit of an ego, Phineas & Ferb have some great friends, social skills and they truly love and care for their big sister.

? Don't tell their mom? They very often tell Linda--Linda just doesn't believe it in the way they say. They even include Lawrence on the carpet episode, Candance's driver's license episodes, etc. Lawrence knows and believes full-heartedly. Linda just believes it's the imaginations of kids. Like the wading pool episode, the backyard beach episode, and many more.

Didn’t just Candace got Jeremy? He had a crush on her from the beginning and never judged her for being insanely obsessed over busting her bothers.

“Phineas and Ferb never tell their mom what they’re doing” There was that time at the breakfast table where they said they went to the moon, pulling out literal moon rocks and the flag… Then there are the times when he says “Great idea Candace, mom will love it!” So, we can conclude that they do indeed tell their mom, but they find it a given that they will just brush it off as “imagination.”

I see something called “torture theory” for one of my favourite shows of all time, I click. That’s math.

She could just join Phineas and Ferb

I don't think Candace wants to ruin her brothers lives, she just want to prove that she is telling the truth, yes, she is jealous of them, but this does not make her evil. Besides, it is not like her mother would kill the boys or anything, at worst they would get time out.

Candace: Mom! Turn around! Sergei: Turn around?

With the Perry theory, that’s EXACTLY MY HEADCANON

Phineas and Ferb usually do tell mom about it. The mom just assumes they're kids and are using their imagination.

this video is really underrated and i will share it with every fan of the show that i know

Doofenshmirtz wasn't adopted.

I've always taken the "Driving our sister insane" as a comment on how Candice keeps trying to get them in trouble, but if she were to just roll with their inventions her life genuinely gets better results. Like I'm pretty sure in the situations where Candice decides to not bust Phineas and Ferb, she just gets more out of the situation. Plus I think they want to include her in their inventions, but she's insistent to NOT join them. It's more she's torturing herself, trying to distance herself from her 'wild brothers' rather than anything on their part. Just join in, don't become their enemy.

They are little brothers, it's what we do.

Bro, this is the second video I watched today. You’re blowing my mind with these bangers. 🔥🔥🔥

the episode where Candace fins out about a camera that watches their street. The boys actively try to show their mom the video on the camera

internet theorists when the show has a highly consistent plot structure that allows the show to maintain the status quo by not changing things at the end of the episode: ITS ACTUALLY DARK AND EVIL!!?!?!?!?!?!!

Honestly even though the theme song says “Driving our sister insane” it’s made clear in various episodes the boys (or at the very least Phineas) are clueless to how much grief they bring Candice, this is especially proven in Candace against the Universe where they finally actually acknowledge how much suffering they’ve put on Candice and make it up to her by making a gift that compiles all their best memories together. Also the boys have actually talked about their adventures on occasion with their mom for example the time they found Perry’s hideout and Phineas just thought Ferb set up a spy mission for them, they do actually talk about it with their mom but she just thinks it’s their imagination, there’s probably other instances but I think I made my point. However I do like the idea that Perry is acting as the boy’s guardian angel plus I can’t think of any evidence to disprove this though I could just be missing something.

they don't have a god complex but they are confirmed in milo Murphy that they are in a god like status to create everything while milo just destroys everything (without having any control over that)

Isn't it always they build something so big that literally everyone can see except her mom. Why doesnt Candace just get her mom to speak with anyone so they can vouch for her

Ok good theory but there is a part in that the show where phineas try’s to get his mom to come see the waterfall they built

counterpoint to the first argument, intelligence is non-linear and knowing how to build a giant robot dog is different from emotional understandings. positive torture lol

This theory eloquently points out everything I hate about this show Not gonna knock it for people who enjoy it, but I always found the whole thing to just be really frustrating. Candace is the only character in the show I like. She KNOWS what her brothers are up to, the brothers know they probably shouldn't be doing it, and she wants to make their parents aware. Those fuckers know EXACTLY what they're doing and it's intentional. Those kids are evil lmao. Also I found the "inators" very frustrating as a kid because they linguistically make no sense

They specifically stated in the show Candace tries to bust them because she doesn’t think what they’re doing is safe. Also Candace gets with Jeremy fairly early on.

I think the boys would talk about the things if they were busted, but since they aren't they just keep a good thing going.

The guy singing the theme song about their activities is not tje same as them intentionally driving her insane. They twll their mom all the time. She just thinks theyre playing. They get away with it because of the good luck particles that surround them explained in the milo murphy's law crossover. What do you mean guy candace will never get. They'fe literally boyfriend and girlfriend.

Great video! My thought on this is that Candace is obsessed with busting her brother and her brothers are just insanely lucky and she slowly driving into madness. As for the her mother knowing theory that is very popular. Maybe, now thinking about it.

Looking back on the first episode, I feel like Dan still hadn't fully fleshed out Phineas and Fern's relationship with Candice and they appeared to act more ambivalent to Candice, not really malicious, but much less affectionate to her than in later episodes.

Also most of these inventions are dangerous as well.

bro bad take 💀

I have a theory what if Perry is just doof’s therapist but he’s also doing his job at the same time he just wants to do his job but he also wants to help his friend plus he’s kind of like a therapist

they don’t say drive your sister insane in german

Interesting observations. I wouldn't call it torture, but it seems like your ideas could be correct.

The real problem is the mom. EVERYBODY but the mom knows even the dad. There was even the love handle episode. Perry just likes vibing with doof but still has to do his job so he doesn’t destroy the world.

This isn’t torture as you put it

Do a theory about aang: in my opinion, he didn't sleep for 100 years. I think he time traveled

No Doo-bee-Doo-bee-Doo-bee-Doo-dah?

Candace is also friends with Jenny

Yeah, especially, when you're 7 years old, and the size of someone's shoe. 5:23

Phineas and Ferb have dark-sided good luck

How does this only have 2000 views 😮

Great video

Wrong: they do mention what they are gonna do or did today to their mom.

Honestly this is just a subtle Milo Murphy’s law, anything that can go wrong for these two, will go wrong.

Not trying to fet a attention but this is a very good theary and video

Doof wasn't adopted those are his real parents

Fine, the clickbait worked

3:12 YES THEY DO

Nice

This theory makes so much sense

can you do a video discussing my soviet propaganda theory about the smooglie shoes tv show

Subscribed.

I dunno bro, I really don't think Phineas and Ferb are evil xD Had you said that Candace and Doofenschmirtz are in some kind of Hellloop I maybe could get behind the idea that their life is torture and why the episodes always go down that way. In the end I really don't think it's that deep xD

My own theory: I think the dad, mom, phineas and ferb are all autistic. not really a big lore thing, just... as an autistic person myself, i'm clocking them as autistic. kind of a "takes one to know one" sort of deal.

I do not think its torture and i do think perry cares about doof and this is shown. Most importantly on the god complex thing, its establjshed in the sequel series Milo Muprhys Law tha they have what they called the "Phinease and Ferb Effect" that bends probability to make things go their way

At least I’m not the only one who hates Candace heck even in the movie Candace against the universe I hate Candace mostly because it plays off like you said route for Candace but how can that be possible when she accidentally dooms the Earth by not keeping her mouth shut 4:29

I love the idea that at the start of Summer, Phineas and Ferb just decided to make it their goal to elaborately fuck with Candace

.

I hate Phineas and Ferb... but this theory is something else

I can't with this garbage theory theres no proof at all to this stupid theory its called plot device ever hear of it 🙄🙄

Second
