Phineas and Ferb Wiki

Sorry to be so harsh Agent P, but today is a very special day: Your one-hundredth battle with Dr. Doofenshmirtz!

— Major Monogram, to a platypus he believes is Perry

Perry misses his 100th battle against Dr. Doofenshmirtz when Candace takes him to the Charity Pet Wash with her. Perry's absence goes unnoticed when the zookeeper's typical platypus at the Danville Zoo stops Dr. Doofenshmirtz's plan to zap his brother with his "Least-Likely-inator." Meanwhile, the boys build a fun house Phineas and Ferb style.

Episode Summary[]

Phineas and Ferb are watching the news. The Danville Zoo has a special about their latest new animal, a platypus that likes eating sandwiches. After debating whether "platypus" is a word, the interviewers decide to go see some other animals in the zoo. When they aren't looking, the platypus escapes into a delivery truck, as it smelled a sandwich that was left in there. Meanwhile, Linda calls Candace, telling her to do something instead of waiting for Jeremy to call her. Candace promptly gets a call from Jeremy. He tells her that he will be volunteering at a charity pet wash at the park, commenting that one can tell a lot about a person's personality by the way they treat animals, and tells her that she should bring Perry to the pet wash so they can wash him together. Candace reluctantly accepts.

Phineas suggests to Ferb that they add fun to everything. Ferb bends a piece of paper over his nose, making it look like a house. Phineas is inspired to make their house into a funhouse. Perry's watch beeps, but before he can get to his lair as Agent P, Candace picks him up and announces that she's "borrowing" him. At headquarters, Major Monogram wonders where Agent P is. Carl makes himself useful by fixing Perry's hover chair, adding a hidden button so it will go to Doofenshmirtz's lair and come back automatically.

At the backyard, Phineas and Ferb accept their delivery of funhouse materials. It happens to be the same delivery people as the ones who just delivered to the zoo. The zoo platypus, who was hiding in the truck, tumbles out with the materials and lands near the tree in the yard. Major Monogram is beginning to worry about Agent P, and orders Carl to open all the entrances thinking Perry can't get inside to his lair. Carl is eating his extremely stinky peanut butter, banana, and sardine sandwich as he does this, attracting the sandwich-loving platypus through the tree entrance. He lands in Agent P's chair, and Major Monogram, mistaking it for the real Agent P, tells the platypus that today is his 100th battle against Doofenshmitz. He then sends the platypus to his mission in the hover chair.

At the pet wash, Jeremy and Candace try to wash Perry. However, he refuses to go in the bathtub, and manages to squirm his way out of Candace's hands, taking refuge behind a tree. Jeremy finds him and hands him back to Candace.

At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Doofenshmirtz turns off the news, now broadcasting about the missing platypus in the zoo. The platypus arrives and Doofenshimrtz also mistakes it for the real Perry. He quickly traps it and throws the remote onto the edge of a table. Doofenshmirtz shows him the Least-Likely-inator, which will make a person "do the least likely thing in their nature". He accidentally fires it, hitting Irving as he walks down the street with Isabella. He then does the least likely thing he would ever do: say that Phineas and Ferb are losers and flirt with Isabella.

Doofenshmirtz explains why he built the Least-Likely-inator: not only to make his daughter obey him and his father love him, but mainly to humiliate his brother in front of the legislature since it was the least-likely thing he would do. The remote that trapped the platypus falls off the table, releasing the platypus. He starts to lick a spilled coffee on the floor.

Meanwhile at the Flynn-Fletcher house, Phineas and Ferb along with their friends are starting to turn the house into a funhouse.

The platypus is still licking the spilled coffee. Doofenshmirtz believes that he's using a fighting technique called "Singapore Crab", and then thinks that "Perry" is playing mind games with him. The platypus sees the sandwich display case and runs to it, knocking it over to get to the sandwiches, crushing Doofenshmirtz in the process. The sandwiches scatter, landing on Doofenshmirtz's various switches and devices. The platypus looks as though he is about to attack Doofenshmirtz, but he simply picks up a sandwich that is near his face. Doofenshmirtz runs toward the platypus, but it picks up another sandwich on top of a lever, deploying a brick wall that Doofenshmirtz runs into.

The platypus is still running around eating sandwiches, and narrowly escapes being squished on a table by Doofenshmirtz. Doofenshmirtz falls off the table and gets a pitcher of water poured on himself. The platypus eats another sandwich, opening the roof.

Candace and Jeremy take Perry home, only to discover everyone exploring the funhouse. Perry tries to get out, only to get lost inside a hall with never ending doors. They all land in Candace's room, which has become the cookie room. Candace is aggravated, but she replies that she will come inside after getting the groceries out of the car.

Doofenshmirtz tries to zap the platypus with the Least-Likely-inator, but he throws a sandwich in the hover chair first. The platypus runs toward the sandwich and eats it, activating the automatic button. Doofenshmirtz tries to fire it at him before it's too late, but he turns it around too far, causing a cable on the machine to break and start spraying everywhere. The platypus rides the chair back to Perry's lair.

Meanwhile, Candace gets hit by the Least-Likely-inator's final stray blast, causing her to clean the funhouse before Linda can see it.

The platypus leaves the lair, Perry arrives, and Major Monogram and Carl congratulate him for his great work, much to his confusion.

Ferb's Line/The "Too Young" Line[]

Phineas: Let me guess, you guys just delivered to the zoo?
Delivery Man 1: Oh, yes. Yes, we did.
Linda: You cleaned the whole thing up before I could see it?
Candace: Yes.
Linda: Well that seems unlikely.
Ferb: Yes, yes it does.

Where's Perry?/Oh, there you are, Perry[]

By Candace:

Candace: Hey, guys, where's Perry?
Phineas: I think he went that way.
Candace: Oh, there you are, Perry.

By Major Monogram:

Major Monogram: Where's Agent P? You set off the wrist beacon, right, Carl?

By Carl:

Carl: Oh, there you are, Agent P.

What'cha doin'?[]

None.

Perry's entrance to his lair[]

Carl tests all the secret agent doors to see if any of them are jammed. The zoo platypus smells Carl's sandwich and instinctively walks into the tree elevator as it opens.

Memorable Quotes[]

Phineas: (referring to zoo platypus) Hey, it looks like you, Perry. Of course, it doesn't look nearly as smart.
(Perry chatters)
Phineas: You know, Ferb, I've been thinking since there's nothing more fun than fun, why not add fun to everything?
(Ferb takes out a piece of paper, folds it in half and sets it on his nose)
Fun shoes... Fun oatmeal... Fun origami...well, origami's already fun. (He sees the paper on Ferb's nose, that looks similar to a house) Fun...house! Great idea, Ferb! We'll turn our house into a funhouse! By, you know, adding fun!
Carl: Everything's Agent P-sized here. It's kind of cute, like kindergarten.
Major Monogram: Carl, what is in that sandwich?!
Carl: (enjoying the sandwich) Peanut butter, bananas, and sardines!
Major Monogram: Oh for Pete's sake, I can see the smell from here!
Candace: I'm borrowing your platypus.
Phineas: Ok. Have fun! (Perry chatters)
Candace: (to Perry) Will you stop squirming? You're a platypus. It's not like you have anywhere you need to be!
Isabella: Hey, Irving. Did you hear? Phineas and Ferb are building a funhouse.
Irving: Really? (Gets zapped by Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Least-Likely-inator) Who cares? I'm too cool for those losers. Say, you're cute! (Irving changes position and falls down) There used to be a lamppost there.
Doofenshmirtz: I see what you're doing! You're messing with my head, trying to get into my mind, walk around in there, rearrange the furniture, maybe repaint the kitchen...
(after Doofenshmirtz hits the brick wall)
Major Monogram: Oh... the Marsh Maneuver! I haven't seen one of those since 1974!
Carl: '74? You had a perm back then!
Major Monogram: Stay off the Internet, Carl!

Errors[]

  • Along with "Ask a Foolish Question", most of the multiple line closed captions have to be read from bottom to top instead of top to bottom.
  • In the beginning, when the news reporter says "...might find remotely interesting", he bends over slightly and his entire torso doubles up on itself.
  • When Candace picks Perry up, he is using his watch, but in the next scene the watch is gone.
  • In the opening scenes at the house, Perry doesn't have his top hairs, but while Candace is calling Jeremy, he has his top hairs again.
  • As Doofenshmirtz looks outside, the color of the building is indigo, but on the next scene it is violet.
  • The mirror in the clip the O.W.C.A. recorded is just triangles and a bit of Doofenshmirtz's hand and brush.
  • During the basement spin, the button on Ferb's shirt isn't outlined.
  • When Major Monogram tells Carl he's in the way, the earpiece on Carl's glasses disappears for a moment.
  • When they first get to the the Pet Wash, while Candace and Jeremy are talking and the camera is zoomed out from Perry, his eyes are blue instead of brown.
  • When Doofenshmirtz points out the city hall as he goes to the balcony, the building's logo and the supporting pillar are gone.
  • When the platypus drops the sandwich shelf, its face resembles Perry's serious face.
  • Before Phineas and Ferb look at their blueprints for the funhouse, Ferb's shirt button is missing.
  • While Phineas and Ferb are dancing with Davy, Phineas' shoes are black instead of blue.
  • For a split second, when Candace puts Davy in the dumpster, her eyes are the color of her skin.
  • When Candace is looking out the window and talking to Linda, the room in the window is her normal bedroom instead of the funhouse-styled bedroom.

Continuity[]

None.

Allusions[]

  • Jeff "Swampy" Marsh - When Doofenshmirtz hits the brick wall, Monogram calls it the "Marsh Maneuver". This is a reference to his voice actor, Jeff "Swampy" Marsh.
  • Disneyland's Haunted Mansion - When Baljeet walks past the second to last mirror in the Hall of Mirrors, he sees a monster-like version of himself. When he comes back, he is only stretched out, as the mirror normally would show him. This is the same in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride.
  • Apollo 17 Mission - During the song "Funhouse", a view of the Earth is shown. It is the famous shot taken by the astronauts during the final mission to the Moon in 1972.
  • Filmmaking - The truck that delivers the parts for the funhouse is from Foley Freight. In film and television, Foley refers to the process of creating sound effects in post-production.
