Phineas and Ferb Wiki

Ha! I'd like to see you keep their contraptions from disappearing at the last second.

— Candace Flynn

Candace challenges Buford to keep Phineas and Ferb’s invention from disappearing so that she can sweep in and casually bust her brothers. Across town, Doofenshmirtz has had one too many lattes and is experiencing an extra burst of evil energy.

Episode Summary[]

Candace wakes up to find Buford already in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard. She asks why he's there so early, and he explains that a Van Stomm must show up anyway if they set their alarm clock too early. After he criticizes Candace's lack of busting skills, she challenges him to keep the boys' invention from disappearing, and he accepts due to another Van Stomm rule.

Major Monogram wakes up Perry, who is sleeping on Phineas' bed, from a Stumbleberry Finkbat trading card, explaining that Carl had installed a nanoscreen on it while disguised as Candace. Monogram explains that Dr. Doofenshmirtz was seen ordering an extra-large coffee, and sends Perry out to stop him just as Phineas and Ferb walk in.

As Linda leaves for the beach, Candace states that she won't need to call to bust the boys, as she's got everything covered.

Perry flies to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, where Doofenshmirtz, hopped up on evil energy due to his soy venti latte extra-caf-and-a-half quadruple sugar, blood pressure bomberino, traps him in a cage via a contraption inspired by a board game. He then presents his Luffa-plex Dill Pickle-inator, which sends people into orbit. Perry simply steps out of the cage and begins fighting Doofenshmirtz.

Back at the Flynn-Fletcher backyard, Phineas and Ferb are surprised to see Buford there so early. Baljeet, Isabella, and Irving arrive, and Phineas presents his idea for the day's project: a tooth-shaped, dental hygiene-inspired theme park ride, inspired when the boys were brushing their teeth. Their friends all agree to help out, with Irving selling tooth-shaped balloons, or "Toothaloons." While everyone builds the Dental Hygienosphere, Candace keeps an eye on Buford, confirming that he's making sure it doesn't go anywhere. Phineas, Isabella, Ferb, and Baljeet climb aboard for the ride, but Candace pulls Buford off.

At D. E. I., Perry knocks Doofenshmirtz down the contraption's stairs. He then jumps to the top of a boxing glove with an anvil under it. Doofenshmirtz attempts to follow, but is launched directly into the anvil, which promptly falls on him.

While Candace lists all sorts of things that could happen to the ride, making it disappear, Buford points out that he has prepared for all of these. Candace gleefully runs off to get Linda.

Meanwhile, Perry and Doofenshmirtz are still fighting, and Perry kicks Doofenshmirtz into the -inator, which starts firing. The ray hits a chair by Buford, who realizes he didn't take into account random green rays from the sky, and begins throwing objects such as Irving's Toothaloon helium tank into the ray's path so they won't hit the ride. When he's run out of objects, he jumps into the ray's path and starts floating towards space. However, his TUFF SHOO LAYSIZZ! catch on the ride, yanking it away just after the four kids exit.

Doofenshmirtz attempts to use fake martial arts to fight Perry, but accidentally kicks his shoe at him, stunning him. Doof runs to the -inator and attempts to send Perry into orbit, but Perry throws the shoe at him, causing the ray to hit the top of the Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated building instead, taking Doof and Perry with it.

Buford, still floating, detaches the giant tooth from his shoelaces, and the ride falls to earth. However, Perry breaks the -inator with Doofenshmirtz's shoe, causing all the floating objects, Buford included, to fall. Fortunately, his TUFF SHOO LAYSIZZ! catch on the tree in the Flynn-Fletcher backyard, and Phineas greets him.

At the exact moment, Candace brings Linda into the backyard, but the ride is nowhere in sight. Linda offers pie, and everyone except Buford (who is still stuck in the tree) runs inside. Candace orders Buford to explain himself, and Buford musically states that when a Van Stomm doesn't succeed the first time, they give up.

Somewhere in the desert, the top of D. E. I. crashes down. Doofenshmirtz climbs out and states that he's okay, just as the Dental Hygienosphere lands on him, crushing the building. He immediately states that he is no longer okay.

Running Gags[]

I Know What We're Gonna Do Today!/Hey, where's Perry?/Ferb's line/The "Too Young" Line[]

Phineas: Way to floss, Ferb. Who knew fighting plaque could be so much fun? Come to think of it, I know what we're gonna do today, Ferb. Hey, where's Perry?
(Phineas' bed returns to normal after opening an entrance to Perry's lair) That's strange...
Ferb: I know; we normally do this later in the day.
Phineas: Yes, yes we do.
Phineas: Hey Buford, are those...
Announcer: TUFF SHOO LAYSIZZ!
Buford: Yes, yes they are.

What'cha doin'?[]

Isabella: Hi, guys!
Irving: I am here also!
Isabella: What'cha doin'?
Phineas: Well, the inspiration for today's activity manifested as we performed our morning ablutions.

Oh, there you are, Perry[]

None.

Perry's entrance to his lair[]

Perry doesn't enter his lair, and instead receives his briefing in Phineas and Ferb's bedroom through a small screen disguised as a Stumbleberry Finkbat trading card. He dashes off just before Phineas and Ferb enter the room again.

Evil Jingle[]

Memorable Quotes[]

Candace: Zzzzzz... But, your honor, how could I have robbed that bank if I was already wearing the prison jumpsuit? It just doesn't make any-- (gasps and wakes up) Somehow I want to finish that dream to find out if I'm guilty or not.
Buford: Is that a challenge?! Because you should know that the Van Stomms never back down from a challenge. Weeeeeellllllll...
Candace: Stop! Stop! Stop! I challenge you, just as long as you don't sing about it
Buford: Her loss. The Van Stomm's "Accept a Challenge" song has a killer bridge. It goes to an F sharp minor, in the key of G!
Announcer: It's time for Girls Freaking Out!
Candace: I love this show. It makes me feel so normal.
Isabella: I love it when Phineas uses unnecessarily long words for common things like brushing your teeth and washing up.
Baljeet: Yes, it is gratifyingly erudite.
Isabella: It's not as cute when you do it.
Baljeet: Ah... I am cognizant of that fact.
Candace: Listen, this thing getting snag on a plane is just the tip of the bicuspid. It could shrink down to the size of a real tooth, and get lost in the grass. Or turn to ice, and melt into nothingness. For all you know it could turn into a giant Ducky Momo, and fly away. Are you prepared for all that?
Buford: Weeeeeellllllll...
Candace: I don't need to hear the "We Prepare for Every Eventuality" song.
Buford: Fine, for the record though, it's the "Be Prepared for Every Eventuality" song. It's in the imperative tense.
Buford: Well, I hope that lands in the backyard of a giant who needs a fake tooth.
Buford: I've got a song about how Van Stomm's fall from the sky too, but, it doesn't end well.

Errors[]

Phineas bed error

Phineas' bed has Candace's sheet on it

  • Phineas' bed has Candace's sheets on it.
  • When she wakes up, Candace is wearing shorts. After she puts on her robe, the shorts becomes pants.
  • When Phineas and Isabella buckle up for the ride, Isabella's eyelashes briefly disappear.
  • For unknown reasons, in Spain this episode was named "Matón de ayudante" ("Assistant bully").
  • When Linda was coming home, she should have seen the Dental Hygienosphere from the front yard.
  • When Phineas, Ferb, and the gang first enter the ride, there are three carts. When they exit, there are only two.
  • When the ride starts, Phineas and Isabella's cart panel is blue, and Ferb and Baljeet's panel is orange. But the panels switch colors when they make the first drop, then they switch back after the 2nd drop.
  • When Doof ran to the -inator and said: "... looks like this is the end for you!" the mouse trap disappeared.

Continuity[]

Allusions[]

  • Mouse Trap - Doofenshmirtz's trap for Perry is based on the classic Ideal board game Mouse Trap, which as of 2013 is owned by Hasbro.
  • Starbucks - In this episode, Doof's reference to "the soy venti latte extra-caf-and-a-half quadruple sugar, blood pressure bomberino" makes fun of the coffee chain in general.
  • The Haunted Mansion - The vehicles inside the Dental Hygenoshpere are called "Tooth Buggies", which are similar in both name and design to the Doom Buggie vehicles inside the Haunted Mansion ride at various Disney theme parks.
  • Looney Tunes - Dr. Doofenshmirtz gets hit by an anvil, a common theme from the Looney Tunes cartoons.
  • Girls Gone Wild - This NSFW video series is cleanly parodied as "Girls Freakin' Out".
