He also did it in the "Pest of the West" episode where all of them huddled together to share plans and Spongebob just started saying gibberish and Squidward asked him why he's just saying nonsense lol
@@deadcool3227 well even if the orders weren’t clear, 90% of the time Perry just has to go to the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incomporated building and destroy whatever device by pressing the self destruct button
I mean, even if his order is just "Doofenshmirtz" it would be enough. In essense all Perry does is going to Doof's place, wrecking whatever inator he's up to and beating him up. Rinse and repeat
To be fair, they didnt know what Doof was doing half the time anyway. "Doofenshmirtz bought 8,000 lightbulbs and one stick of butter. Find out what he's up to and stop him."
@@diehardrvdfan22tbf, he owns that entire building or something, right? Even if we only count the giant lab, he provable uses a lot of light bulbs, lol
my favorite joke from this show was probably when Doof was impersonating Monogram and said something along the lines of “Now I just need to figure out how he gets both eyes on one side of his head”
Yea! 🤣 I freakin' love it when they break the fourth wall. Another good one is when Perry has to go back and forth from Mount Rushmore, and he's so annoyed that he looks directly at the camera XD
@@iDunnoMan9000 Or the joke about how the summer "feels like it's been going on for three years". Overt medium-painting jokes are funny, but sometimes it's the subtle jabs that stick with you...
Honestly, these meetings are a waste of time. His mission is always to stop whatever Doof is doing. Knowing in advance what he's doing has never helped him. If he really needs to know, Monogram could tell him on his way there.
@@AgenteFuegoand I suppose he should drink his coffee on the way too instead of in the comfort of his ergonomic office chair. Let the dude have his morning routine
I must disagree, one scene lives rent free in my head despite barely watching the show "It all began on the day of my actual birth, both of my parents failed to show up" - Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
They actually reference that in the Christmas episode, too. The continuity in this show was always impressive and one of the things I love about it. It rewards you for sticking around and watching every episode :)
My favourite has _got_ to be when Doof, discussing his origin story, said "I was heading to a golden land of opportunity, a land with a pioneering spirit which welcomed misfits like me - but I ended up in America instead!"
For me, it is when Doof says he is off to do something, poofs off like the Roadrunner leaving a dust cloud, but then the cloud dissipates to show Doof still standing there, perplexed, and says "....What just happened...?"
I love the scene in the episode where they make a maze and Phineas, Ferb, Buford, and Baljeet come across a “How many jelly beans in the jar?” puzzle. Phineas, Ferb, and Baljeet are on the side doing math to figure it out until Buford runs out of patience and eats all the jelly beans and says zero and the computer accepts the answer! 🤣
That punchline is already great but I also love their mini debate leading up to it about the right way to calculate the value of pi. "You do not use 3.14 for pi?" Math nerd humor haha 😂
What's really clever is the fact that they actually foreshadow the punchline by having the guy say "We're breaking up a bit, let me call you on a landline" perfectly clearly, hinting that there's nothing wrong with the audio, but because they cut to Perry's face we just kinda assume it stopped breaking up for a bit. It's what elevates this joke from being "eh" to "Dayum" for me
The bit from Isabella's birthday episode: Baljeet: 'Thank goodness there are no male dancers inside that cake.' Buford: 'They asked, but they couldn't afford me.'
On par with the man who bulids a buliding but his wife belittles him for lacking a key item for said location and it magically falls from the sky to help him.
@@iDunnoMan9000it’s a landline and it’s easy to tap those. It’s easier to encrypt other types of signal. As an espionage and intelligence agency, OWCA would know this. The landline is likely a last resort.
I love how the music also interrupts every time the video call glitches out. That implies it's the O.W.C.A. themselves playing the background music just to add to the suspense whenever Monogram presents Perry his new mission! I find this little detail even funnier than the actual joke here 😄
Hey yeah, you're right; when he was on the phone the music stopped, probably because he stopped using the screen. So the music probably comes from the TV screen's built in speakers lol. Wow! That's a cool detail to notice haha
Since everyone else is sharing their fav bits, I raise you from the musical episode: "You're right, Candace: no crazy person would scream at a post like that. I'll be in the dairy aisle if you wanna come yell at some cheese. ...Would you like that honey? Would you like to come yell at some cheese?" "A little." "Well, c'mon then." _cut to a few minutes later, where Candace is, in fact, yelling at the cheese display, fogging the glass_
As a kid I just thought yelling at cheese was random and funny, but now after working retail, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Never really though much about this scene until now. I just remembered the screaming at cheese part.
@@KoolerThanKen the first part is, but I love that they actually followed up on it in the extended version, the musical version of the episode. A small thing but it's that attention to detail that made the show so great and memorable 😁
The best part is that this joke is foreshadowed perfectly. After all, when he says, "Uhh, we're breaking up. Let me call you on a landline," the dialogue is still perfectly audible and not being interrupted by the interference whatsoever.
Reminds me of the Simpsons, when Marge is gambling and homer runs up to her and yells gibberish. She tells him to slow down, and he says the same nonsense slowly
The "De bungagwa? Burga de bungagwa!" moment from Doofenshmirtz is still my favourite moment in Phineas and Ferb. You can still get the punchline even though they are not speaking English.
Vanessa: “How did my life get to the point where that is not a strange sentence to me?” Doofenshmirtz in mocking voice: “I am your daughter. I will stop being sarcastic and untie you.” 🤣
I love the one on which major monogram says his usual stuff and perry notes something in his notepad. But then we are shown that he was just doodling a sketch of monogram
Im definitely partial to the joke where the boys whip out their calculators to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar and bufford just eats them all and puts zero. The reason I like this jove is because when you’re any age what Buford does is funny, but what definitely flew over my head the first time is how absurd it is that phineas uses 22/7 as an approximation for pi instead of 3.14. It’s a similar accuracy to yes, but the point is not one teaches that. I will never forget over how off guard that joke took me when I first caught that.
Yeah 22/7 appears in the instructions for most standardized tests as an option, and Phineas seems to think proportionally rather than absolutely on other occasions so it makes sense he’d prefer “twenty-two sevenths the diameter” over “multiply the diameter by 3.14”
Honestly I agree, this is genuinely the best joke in the entire show. Just the whole premise of "Hacked up connection" only to end in "Yea no it actually came over flawlessly". Twist and turn and punchline. This shows comedy was on fricking point. Remember me and my mom watching it together whenever it came on, even reruns multiple times. Thank you for the nostalgia trip.
Thanks for posting a positive comment lol. So many have just been, "this joke isn't funny, you're dumb," and I'm like, "I just wanna like Phineas and Ferb!" 😂😂😂 I'm glad you actually enjoyed it like I did
@@iDunnoMan9000I’m all for being positive and what not but like… it’s not that funny? Unless I’m missing an additional layer of the joke. I genuinely don’t understand why everyone finds this so funny. Can you explain?
@@envviro The confusing word order the military man gives leads the audience to believe that some words didn't go through, but then he calls on landline and reveals that there was nothing wrong with the orders.
@@barryditmer7390 Yes I understood the joke, I just didn’t get why everyone was hyping it up so much. It’s a definitely good joke but I guess maybe the title of the video set me up for disappointment.
Didn't remember this one, pretty great. My favorite I'd say is the one where Perry has to control a robot, and the manual is on dutch (iirc) and only has a dutch-french dictionary so he's given a french-english one and keeps three-steps-translating the whole time
My personal favorite joke from the show has to be when Doof pleads Perry not to push a button, then when Perry is about to push it, Doof specifies that he's talking about a different button, which Perry then pushes
PnF I swear has some of the smartest/well written jokes in all of cartoon history, it didn't need to have the 'laugh out loud' 'so randomz' crazy humor that a lot of shows in the 2000s/ 2010s had for it BE funny, just a good writing team behind it. That's what makes this show stand out the most, plus their songs are bangers too :)
That one is great! From the same episode, I love the fake out with Doof asking a disguised Perry to recite Dr. Wexler's book, and you expect to THAT be the disguise reveal moment but nope he starts reading the book using a sudden recording he had. The funniest part is afterwards, when the recorder gets stuck and Doof says he doesn't remember him saying the same word so many times, and Perry removes his disguise and Doof just answers with "Dr. Wexler you're a platypus." This show had some any hilarious moments but that is one of my favorites 😂
The whole mission briefing section is redundant, Perry can just check up on doof every once in a while, odds are he's doing something evil. Obviously, Perry comes to the HQ to make Major Monogram feel important and needed, like he makes Perry feel.
phineas and ferb is one of the most clever and well written shows and gets funnier the older you are cause then you can catch onto all the jokes you overheard as little kid
The math joke in the maze episode (and debating on 22/7 vs 3.14 for pi) is one of those for me. When I first watched that episode, I had no interest in math and barely even knew about the whole pi thing. Years later, going into Computer Science, so a lot of math in curriculum, I get it now 😅
My favorite bit is Buford coming out with some kind of obscure skill or insight with no reason for it. Like when he suddenly has a strange instrument or knows a language no one else does. He's so dumb at some moments and so smart at others, I love it. It's awesome how they took the stereotypical bully and made him a wild, well rounded character like that.
Funny how Agent P doesn't even need to know what Doofenshmirtz is doing. Doof's lab/evil headquarters is literally in the same open spot the whole show so all Agent P needs to know is that Doofenshmirtz is up to something and he can just beeline to the building.
My favorite joke that comes to mind is when Candace is trapped in the videogame and Phineas is asking her to do basic videogame things. Then Candace falls down some steps and Phineas just keeps saying "Ok stop falling" every time she hits a step
I think the funniest thing in the show is during Vanessassary Roughness where Ferb is trying to save Vanessa from a lawn mower on an escalator, and eventually grabs a screwdriver, loosens one screw on the lawn mower by 90 degrees, and the entire thing falls apart.
My favourite thing is when monagram like turns to carl and is like "why do we only hire animals?" Kinda relizing the entire company is based off highly trained animal agents LMAO He has a mini crisis for a bit and goes back to being monogram its really funny
I very distinctly remember a time in high school where I was reminded of the "Bald-jeet" line and I was scream laughing for at least 20 minutes straight
Nice to know that even on such a tight budget, O.W.C.A. is still able to prepare for every eventuality, like the kind that would require something as archaic as a landline
this is a small visual joke, but I love when in an episode the fireside girls like skate over a roof, and then you see an arm pop up from behind it to do a hang 10 hand sign. I also really love when Buford has scheduled 'carrying Baljeet like luggage'
Doof was the first person to say the famous line, “If I had a nickel for every time…..I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.”
Reminds me of the joke with the 007 stand-in where he says something like "well it's enough for the mammal" Long as perry hears doofinschmirtz, he's good
If you don't get this joke, here is a brief explanation: This clip of an episode of the popular Disney Channel show, "Phineas and Ferb" starts with Agent P. getting his mission briefing from Major Francis Monogram on an oversized TV screen, which is a recurring B-plot point in most Phineas and Ferb epsiodes. While he is briefing Agent P, his video starts breaking up, which is a common occurence when one's Wi-Fi connection quality is subpar. He says "Sky, Weather, Rain, Doofenshmirtz" which viewers believe is the result of Major Monogram's subpar internet connection distorting his audio, as his video also gets distorted while he is saying the words previously mentioned. He then tells Agent P. to wait for Major Monogram to call him on a landline, which generally is less prone to breaking up, as they do not require an internet or Wi-Fi connection. The viewer now expects Major Monogram to say the complete sentence he was going to say while his audio was breaking up. Instead, the episode subverts expectations and Major Monogram instead says the exact words he said when his audio was breaking up. I hope this explanation has helped people who so not understand this joke get a better grasp on the meaning and why it is funny.
Doof: What kind of a plumber are you? *Perry removes plumber cap* Doof: A platypus plumber? *Perry puts on fedora* Doof: Perry the Platypus plumber? *Perry removes plumber belt* 🎵Perry!🎵 Doof: *gasp* Perry the Platypus?!
For those who don’t get it (because those people do exist): The Boss tried to tell Perry the full plan, but he was interrupted by static, so he gave a short recap in which he just told Perry the key words in the mission, which happened to be exactly what Perry heard.
Malifishmertz Evil Incorporated (but not really a corporation because corporations haven’t been invented yet, so it’s more like a guild or a tradesmen association!)
@@iDunnoMan9000 Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, the rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, the rats make me crazy.
He knew Perry would think there's moar to it and just calls him to tell him there isn't. Ironically, the landline line is crystal clear and he could have just repeated himself then if he noticed.
