Phineas and Ferb Wiki

Yes, it takes a mature adult, such as myself, to know there's no such thing as the real... B-b-b-BIGFOOT!!!

— Candace Flynn

While visiting their grandparents, Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and the rest of the gang encounter Bigfoot, or so they think. Elsewhere, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's date is interrupted by Agent P.

Episode Summary[]

FiresideGirlsCheer

The gang heading out to the lake house.

Phineas, Ferb, and friends are heading to their grandparents’ house near the lake for a couple of days. Phineas asks everyone what they're gonna do at 'camp'. Buford says he'll find a nerd and steal his underpants, and run them up the flagpole. Phineas says that he doesn't think Camp Phineas and Ferb has a flagpole, and Buford than states that he'll just steal a nerd's underpants. Baljeet says that he can have his, because they got really messy all of the sudden. Isabella says she and her Fireside Girls troop will work on their accomplishment patches, to which they cheer with excitement and Ferb blows a noisemaker.

When Phineas asks Candace what she'll do at camp, she corrects him by saying it's just Grandma and Grandpa Flynn's cabin. She than states that she hates the outdoors, while Phineas looks for his ant farm. When she asks her parents if she has to go to the cabin. Lawrence than says that he thinks it's nice that Betty Jo and Clyde allow the kids to visit them every year. Candace than states that she is now a young adult and asks if she can do something with her parents. Linda says that she could if she'd like to come with them to the Antique Cemposium. She then asks Phineas for a t-shirt and starts to sob in it. When they arrive, they rush out to see Betty Jo and Clyde.

Perry entering his HQ.

While the kids are getting ready, Perry escapes to his HQ via a tree slide and almost knocks over a vase when he exits. Major Monogram tells Perry that the tree slide hasn't been used in years since he was at "The Academy." He tells Agent P that Doofenshmirtz is at his woodland retreat and needs to see what he's doing. He then hopes that Agent P will be carful while thinking of "The Academy" again.

Back at the lake house, everyone is enjoying themselves, except for Candace, who's trying to get a tan and is bothered by mosquitoes. Phineas gives her a Phineas special, a glass of limeade, and Isabella tells him her scout troop has finished pitching the tents. He then writes her troop for earning their tent pitching accomplishment patches. Clyde then sings a song He's Bigfoot about Bigfoot which gets the kids excited, and Candace feels annoyed, asking herself why Grandpa act his age. A squirel comes up and says that Candace should act her age. It turns to be Betty Jo, who tells her a teenager can have all sorts of fun here, and says they'll come up with something she'll enjoy.

DoofenshmirtzComputer

Perry breaking into Doof's lake house.

It's nighttime and Perry has reached the woodland villa. When he gets inside, Doofenshmirtz tells him that it's his week off. He started dating again and he's meeting his online date for the first time in person. Perry proceeds to leave until Doofenshmirtz's date shows up, and he doesn't want to find out he has a nemesis. Plus he doesn't have time to destroy him, so he tells Perry to act like a mindless animal, to which Perry looks at the camera. She sees the platypus and cuddles him, while Doofenshmirtz introduces himself as Strudelcutie4427, his screen name for the date service.

Back at camp, all the kids and Candace are sitting around the campfire, and Phineas writes on the paper for Isabella earning her marshmallow patch. He tells his grandfather they should tell scary stories, but Clyde suggests that they should let another kid other than Phineas tell the story. Candace isn't interested, and Baljeet tells a poor one about himself having to share a tent with Buford, so Phineas finally goes, telling kids a story about Bigfoot.

Doofenshmirtz tries to get his date to notice him, but she's more interested in cuddling with Perry than getting to know her date better. Annoyed, he steps outside for some air, and spits out his cucumber water. Phineas has finished telling his story by the time, and shadows appear behind the campers, scaring them. Doofenshmirtz overhears the screams and jumps on to the balcony rail wondering why there are kids screaming because it's not his birthday. He than falls off the balcony by accident. Phineas finally tells everyone that the shadows aren't Bigfoot creatures, it's just Ferb operating puppets in the tree. Isabella tells him Ferb is sitting near them, but they soon realize that it's an inflatable Ferb.

Bigfoot prank

Betty Jo and Candace pulling out a prank.

Doofenshmirtz climbs back up and his date overhears the noise. Mistaking him for Bigfoot, she knocks him back off the balcony, but she realizes her mistake shortly thereafter. Perry escapes back to camp by parachuting off the roof. Back at the campsite, Candace becomes angry and rants about being at camp until a real Bigfoot shows up and swallows her whole after thinking its a fake made out of popsticks and glitter. All the kids run off scared, except for the grandparents, who were in on it the whole time. Candace steps out with her grandma and sees she's got an inflatable grandma as well, except that that's her grandma's identical twin, Lorraine, who comes out once a year when these two need to prank someone.

While they get the scared kids back together for hot chocolate, Doofenshmirtz falls and gets tangled up in the strings of puppets, and mistakes them for Bigfoot and runs away screaming. Candace gloats to the kids on how she managed to scare them and tells them Bigfoot doesn't exist. She continues by saying it takes only a mature adult like herself to tell that there's no such thing as Bigfoot. But in the distance, she sees Doofenshmirtz in the shadows with the puppets dangling behind him and assumes Bigfoot is real. The kids don't see anything and resume drinking hot cocoa, thinking she is crazy and Phineas wonders why Perry is covered in lipstick.

Memorable Quotes[]

Buford: Find a nerd, take his underpants, and run them up the flagpole.
Phineas: I don't think Camp Phineas and Ferb has a flagpole.
Buford: Then I guess I'll just find a nerd and take his underpants.
Baljeet: You may have my underpants. They just got very messy all of a sudden.
Buford: Thanks, but it ain't the same if Buford don't rip 'em off of you.
Candace: I don't like the outdoors, okay? I don't like bugs. Phineas, are you even listening to me?
Phineas: I seem to have misplaced my ant farm.
Phineas: 'Vittles' is Grandpa-ese for food.
Doofenshmirtz: Perry the Platypus, how unexpected! And by "unexpected", I mean....unexpected. What are you doing here? This is my week off.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: It's not the worst date I ever had. There was the one that kept stabbing me with the fork.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: Why do I always get the crazies?
Dr. Doofenshmirtz: That sounded like screaming children. But it's not my birthday.
Major Monogram: Please, Agent P. Be careful. (thinking to himself) The Academy...
Young Monogram: But I don't want to go to the Academy, Daddy.
Major Monogram's "Father's" voice: I'm not your father, and it's been decided.
Young Monogram: I love you, Daddy!
Clyde: If my memory serves, I think there was a song written about it

Doofenshmirtz's Date: StrudelCutie4427? Whoops.
Candace: Oh, and what's this one made of? Popsicle sticks and glitter?
Betty Jo: Come on! We're making stick figures— out of real sticks!
Lorraine: Well, back to my closet!
Betty Jo: See ya next year, Lorraine.
Candace: I sure got you guys. You should have seen your faces! Only unsophisticated, immature brains would believe in monsters. Yes, it takes a mature adult such as myself to know that... there's... (sees Doofenshmirtz running from fake Bigfoots) no... such thing as... G-G-G-BIGFOOT! (runs away screaming; kids look over and see nothing)
Baljeet: Well, I do not believe her one bit. Too much overacting.

Continuity[]

Allusions[]

PerrySavesVase

He saves the vase on the way down.

  • The Suite Life of Zack & Cody - Perry saving the vase is similar to when Mr. Moseby saves the vase in many episodes, even though he throws himself and Perry is laying when the vase is in mid-air. (In the final episode of The Suite Life, the vase breaks.) Also, Ashley Tisdale is a regular on Suite Life, and Caroline Rhea has made two guest appearances as a German-accented rival hotel owner.
  • Grease - The trick Grandpa Clyde does with his glasses is almost identical to something one of the Pink Ladies did near the beginning of the movie version of this famous musical.
  • Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day! - The glasses trick is also similar to the secret trick that Dr. Kawashima responds to after the player says 'glasses, glasses'.
  • Nacho Libre - The episode title is similar to a line by Nacho/Ignacio when he says, "Get that corn outta my face!"
