Phineas and Ferb Wiki

It's Jeremy's birthday and I wanna do something really special to show I care and you guys are good at doing, you know, what you do, and, well, all I have is this scrapbook and I don't wanna blow it so can you help me, huh?

— Candace Flynn

When Candace is stumped about what to get Jeremy for his birthday, she reluctantly asks Phineas and Ferb for their help in creating the ultimate gift. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz plans to make fears a reality with his Worst-Fear-inator, but his plans backfire when he finds himself battling his own fears instead.

Episode Summary[]

First kiss page in the scrapbook Candace made for Jeremy

Candace is in her bedroom talking to Stacy on the phone and working on a pop-up scrapbook for Jeremy's birthday, although she does not believe it to be very good. Candace is convinced that her gift should be over the top and defy the laws and physics and imagination. Of course, she realizes that she needs the help of her brothers.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Phineas and the gang have just perfected a fusion-powered popcorn popper. Candace approaches them and mumbles sullenly about her dilemma, which is roughly translated by Buford. She then asks them to help her make the perfect gift for Jeremy. Phineas sees the scrapbook as a blueprint and gets another idea. Candace thanks them under her breath, but Buford believes she is wondering where Perry is.

Buford and Candace

Buford "translates" the mumblings of Candace

In Agent P's lair, Monogram informs him that Doofenshmirtz has rented all of the bad horror movies in Danville.

Back in the house, Linda informs Candace that she is going out. She briefly gets suspicious of the box of stuff that Candace is carrying and assumes that it has something to do with busting her brothers. Candace tells her there is nothing to worry about. In the backyard, Candace reveals the box is full of memorabilia involving Jeremy (or "Jeremobilia" as she calls it). Phineas gives her a camera and tells her to take some pictures around Danville of things that Jeremy likes. After she leaves, Phineas asks Isabella if she wants to say something, but she simply shrugs silently.

At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry breaks down the door and gets trapped by a rope. Doofenshmirtz pauses the scary movie he is watching, and immediately shows Perry his latest inator, the Worst-Fear-inator. He explains that he rented all of the scary movies for research and the latest inator shoots a person with a beam and makes their biggest fear come true. He tries it out on Perry, but it turns out nothing scares him.

Meanwhile, Candace walks around Danville taking pictures of things related to Jeremy. In the backyard, Phineas prints the images to giant size, which automatically fold up origami-style.

Back at D.E.I., Perry uses a business card with mechanical arms and legs to free himself. He kicks Doofenshmirtz, who lands on the floor and inadvertently hits the remote to the inator. The inator beam hits Doofenshmirtz, and his worst fear, that of vending machines taking over the world, comes true. Perry reasons this would be his best time to leave.

In the backyard, Candace returns just in time for a test run of the giant Scrapbook-aganza, complete with live music by Love Händel. Candace rides a gondola as each page turns revealing some of her favorite memories with Jeremy, including sharing meatball subs, dancing on New Year's Eve, going through the Phintastic Ferbulous Car Wash, Jeremy's flip-flop ad, their wheelbarrow race, and finally, their very first kiss.

Back at D.E.I., Agent P is leaving Doof alone with his fear, but then decides to turn back and save him. So Perry shoots the vending machine robots with the inator, and a giant nickel appears and chases them out of the building. Doofenshmirtz is relieved that it is all over.

Candace ends her test run and explains to Phineas and Ferb that she took notes on what she thought of it. She adds she loves it and shows a smiley face on her notepad, while saying "I love it" many times. Phineas says to Ferb, "She had me at smiley face".

Perry goes back to Doofenshmirtz, who is relieved to see him, and vows to never activate the Worst-Fear-inator again, but when he presses a button on it, it fires another ray.

It's a regular sized scrapbook

Back in the backyard, Candace is hit by the Worst-Fear-inator's ray, making her state her worst fear is the Scrapbook-aganza will fly away before Jeremy enters. She hears Jeremy's car horn and dashes off for him, while Baljeet asks if anyone saw the ray, and Buford says he wasn't gonna mention it. Right when Candace tells Jeremy that he has to see what the boys did and drags him with her, the Scrapbook-aganza flies away, making her worst fear come true. Jeremy knows the boys made something cool for him and it's gone now, but to make up, Phineas shows Candace's regular sized scrapbook which was used as the blueprint, and the two read it together as Love Händel sings a reprise of the song from earlier.

Back at D.E.I., Doofenshmirtz mentions that he meant to press the self-destruct button on the Worst-Fear-inator, which he manages to do for Perry. After asking if he needs his parking validated, he realizes Perry already found a spot on the street, and curses him.

Ferbland

Welcome to Ferbland

Phineas is wondering why Isabella has been quiet all day, and she looks at her watch for a few seconds before she finally starts talking. Isabella explains she has earned her 24 Hours of Silence Patch, and sees why Ferb doesn't talk much and enjoys it. She adds she had an inner dialogue to herself all day, and Ferb's mind is shown as "Ferbland", which has loads of inner dialogue itself.

I know what we're gonna do today[]

The "Too Young" Line[]

None.

Ferb's Line[]

Phineas: Flowers, I'm drawing a blank.
Ferb: Daffodils, third date.
Phineas: Isabella, you've been awfully quiet all day.
Isabella: (looks at watch) I have just earned my 24 Hours of Silence Patch! I can see why you don't talk much, Ferb. I actually quite enjoyed it. I ended up having an inner dialogue with myself all day.
Ferb: Welcome to Ferbland.
Zoom in on Ferb's brain
Ferb head #1: Yes, the universe is constantly expanding.
Ferb head #2: But what is it expanding into?
Ferb heads: Ooooooh...
Ferb head #3: Okay, now my mind is blown.

What'cha doin'?[]

None.

Hey, where's Perry?[]

Memorable Quotes[]

Candace: (mumbles)
Phineas: Uh, what's that, Candace?
Buford: Lemme talk to her, guys. I speak sullen. (mumbles)
Candace: (mumbles back)
Buford: Candace messed up and now Jeremy's birthday is ruined.
Candace: Hey! You completely misinterpreted what I said!
Buford: Nuance!
A printer prints out a flat daffodil, which folds itself into an origami daffodil, and emits a scent.
Buford: Nice touch! Smells like my grandma!
Phineas: I thought your grandma smelled like ant pheromones.
Buford: Naw, that's the other one.
Phineas: These should really make Jeremy's Birthday Scrapbook-aganza a full sensory experience!
Buford: (sarcastically) Great, just what I always wanted: to fully sense Jeremy.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Alright, so what are you afraid of, where is it? (looks around) What the hay? Nothing? (A business card slips through the ropes. Doof takes the card and reads it.) "Perry the Platypus: O.W.C.A. agent - Fearless." Huh. That figures. I guess you'll just hafta...hang around! Ha ha ha! Oh, wait, this one's better: I'll just leave you here because you're all tied up! Ha ha ha! W-W-Wait, one last one, you're gonna love it: See ya later because it isn't my tail that's upside down! (No response.) No? No no, I shoulda stuck with the first two, you're right.
Man: I guess my fortune came true. "You will share your cocoa with a long-necked teenager." See? Right there.
Woman: Mine just says, "Your boyfriend's gonna get a fortune cookie at a French café."
Phineas: Well, Candace, do you think Jeremy will like it?

Candace: (seriously) Yeah, I just have a few notes here. (Excitedly, as she reveals she drew a smiley face on the clipboard.) It's perfect! (gasps) I love it, guys! Iloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveitiloveit....

Phineas: (to Ferb) She had me at "smiley face".
Baljeet: Uh, did anyone else see that weird green beam?
Buford: I wasn't gonna mention it.

Errors[]

  • As Buford walks away stating he speaks sullen, Isabella's left sock turns transparent for a single frame.
  • When Phineas says "These should really make Jeremy's Birthday Scrapbook-aganza a full sensory experience" Isabella's eyes are black instead of blue.
  • When Doofenshmirtz shoots Perry with the Worst-Fear-Inator, Perry's card says, "O.W.C.A agent -- fearless," but, as shown in "Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!", Perry has a fear of being discovered and taken away from the Flynn-Fletcher family that is at least bad enough to cause nightmares. Maybe he had overcome his fear after discovering that, if his owners discover his identity, all could be solved with a memory-eraser (Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension). Perry was also obviously terrified of Doofensmirtz's driving in "The Doonkelberry Imperative", and he often looks scared whenever Doofenshmirtz inventions directly endangers his family, such as in "Journey to the Center of Candace".
    • When Doofenshmirtz is hit with the Worst-Fear-Inator later in the episode, he says that nothing bad will happen as long as you don't think of anything scary. If Perry managed to not think about anything scary when he was hit by the ray, it could explain why none of his fears showed up.
  • When Phineas and Ferb prints the flower image, Baljeet is missing.
  • The scrapbook shows pictures from "Happy New Year!", that actually, hadn't happened yet at the time of the episode.
  • Two episodes reference in one scene

    Two episodes references which do not aligned with each other

    The Scrapbook-aganza pictures from "At the Car Wash" shows Adyson and Holly were riding the giant scrubbers, but some shots later, Holly is replaced by Ginger. Also, the Scrapbook-aganza version of Candace and Jeremy were riding through the car wash shows them wearing their "My Sweet Ride" outfits instead.
  • When the Worst-Fear-Inator zaps Candace, Isabella isn't shown in the group shot. After the Scrapbook-aganza flies away, Isabella appears out of nowhere.
  • Near the end of the episode, Isabella is seen wearing her watch, although earlier she wasn't seen wearing it at all.
  • Near the end, when Candace is upset her worst fear has come true, Candace's scrapbook can be seen next to Jeremy on the ground, and Jeremy appears to be holding it even though he's cut offscreen.
  • During the credits, the box that shows the scene was smaller than usual when it began.

Continuity[]

Allusions[]

  • Tears for Fears - The episode title references the well-known 1980s band. The band was reportedly named after a psychiatric technique.
  • Jerry Maguire - Phineas' line "She had me at 'Smiley face'" is a play on Renée Zellwegger's line "You had me at 'Hello'" from the movie.
  • Ghostbusters - Doofenshmirtz's reaction to his worst fear coming true, "I couldn't help it. It just popped in there." and "Oh no, it can't be!" just like Ray Stantz; words from the film when he accidentally chooses Gozer's destructor form.
  • Horrible Movie Night - Major Monogram says it is "Horrific Movie Night", which is a play on writer John Mathot's web site.
