Top 20 Phineas and Ferb Episodes (20-11)

Hello Spongey here.
Okay, i won't beat around the bush: Disney would good, went downhill, people freak out, I stay optimistic.
And like CN with Adventure Time and Nick with TUFF Puppy, Disney had a show that redeemed the company in people's eyes.
Yes Phineas and ferb
You all know me, i love this little show. But for those finding this and not knowing, it's about Two boys who defy all logic by building insane things such as Rollercoastes and a beach. However, their sister Candace is having none of this, so she tries to "bust" them by showing their invention to thier mom. But they always go away when she gets home. Why? Well...they have a pet platypus who is really a secret agent, and the "evil" Dr Doofenshmritz somehow ends up getting rid of the inventions by accident. Yes, it sounds weird...but it is.
Anyway, it's a funny show and i like it. But, there's over 104 episodes with summer vacation, til Disney comes along just to end. So what are the best episodes for our generation, to spend it with?
Well, since the 4th anniversary of it is coming up on the 17th, and the movie is this Friday, let's do it!
This, is the top 20 P&F episodes.
We will do 3 or so episodes a day,...well sorta, I'm typing this on 2 am Monday, but i consider it Sunday. We will be finishing up on Saturday.
Okay, starting with...
20. Candace Disconnected:
I had to put ONE season 3 episode on this list, and there's some cool ones. But i choose this out of all of them.
Why? Well let's talk.
Candace loses her 4th cell phone in 4 months, so Phineas and Ferb make a new one with cool apps...one of which accidently brings her to easter island. Thanks to Stacy. *Sigh* Stacy...
Er, what? Oh, yeah. The list...
Meanwhile, Doof makes an inator to pick up Vanessa, and finds the very first version of Norm. Voiced by Joel Mchale. Yes, him. And he is the best part of this episode! He keeps firing line after line, and it never fails to crack me up.
The main plot has seen funny stuff, like the joke about the phone's rimshot app. And the fact that we never find out what phineas and ferb really build. At all. Watch it, it's funny But, the crowning moment of funny, comes in the form of... a song!
Doof finishes picking up Vanessa and Perry shows up, and since he has no evil...he invites perry to join in his evil exercise show.
Yes...then a song. Full of crazy lyrics, freaky music, and all around random stuff. It comes right out of nowhere, has nothing to do with the plot, and after it happens, no one ever mentions it again..
BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!
Yes, this is a very funny episode with a weird song, i dig it. Next!
19. She's the mayor
This is one of the more underrated episodes of the show? Why? Well it's a spoiler, but i need to talk about it. But first, the plot
Danville has a mayor for the day Essay contest, which Candace wins. Why? They think busting her brothers is some kind of metaphor. Oh, we'll get to that later. Phineas and Ferb make a pioneer vilage, while Mrs Flynn uses her new powers to try to bust the boys. Meanwhile, Doof is stuck in a gold game with roger, so he makes an inator to make things go faster.
This episodes is REALLY funny. The best gag? Well, when they build the town, they see it has a crazy old coot who loves gold.
"If you find any gold, it's mine!"
That's just funny. Also, there's everyone thinking everything is metaphor, leading to this from candace.
"NOT EVERYTHING IS A METAPHOR!"
That is true. Everyone seems to think anything they don't get is some kind of metaphor. Oh, and Candace says that "like many before me", she loses sight on what she is meant to be doing.
...Is this poltical satire. In phineas and ferb?
...Okay.
The subplot has one gag i won't spoil. I'll say that it sadly doesn't have Bill Murray from Caddyshack.
Also, Candace changes the street names. That must of been weird.
"Hey, do you know where i can find Candace boulevard?"
"Yes, it's right of Jeremy way!"
"...What is up with this city?"
The ending? Oh yes. At the end, Candace uses her mayor powers as bit...and the boys get busted. Yes, for real. It's not a dream.
BUT, doof's inator creates a weird effect...which makes the episodes rewind back to the start. Yes, the boys get busted, but it's all hit by a reset button. Candace says it best,.
"I was robbed!"
Indeed. A lot of people were pissed that it got retconed like this. But, something makes up for it. Something changes in the timeline...the person being mayor.
"New law...if you find any gold it's mine!"
Yep, it's the coot. This made me laugh so hard. Especially this line
"Hooray for finding gold being a metaphor for...wait, i think we are supposed to take that litteraly"
Love it. This episode may have a cop out ending, but it's funny as hell. I dig it.
And it has Stacy in a secretary outfit. That's nice too
18. The Lemonade Stand
Yes, this is paired with the above episode. But, this was originally at a different spot on the list, and i moved it lower, because of the next episode being so good
This is the first episode on our list to be here for a different reason other then good jokes.
In this episode, the boys start a lemonade stand, and Candy all ready to bust, but it turns out she has something with stacy on that day, and Stacy makes candace choose between Stacy and Busting. Candace gets pissed, and break up-er i mean, de-friend Mrs Hirano. Meanwhile, Doof tries to give everyone paper cuts so they well buy his band-aids
This does have good gags, like with a man who loves lemonade aid more then Kel loves orange soda.
Plus, the end has this, when Vanessa spills lemonade on doof
"CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!"
"You do know he's not here, right?"
"...Yes, but i'm sure it's his fualt"
Doof does curse perry when he's not here. I love a lampshade!
The best part is the candace/stacy part. Canadace learns to not put her best friend before busting, and it's really cute. ..Especially for a yuri fan
Candace does reboot back to busting, but it's nice to know she learned her lesson this time. It's quite heartwarming, actually.
Hence why I love this episode, it's funny, but also sweet. I think these 2 are the best characters and this shows them off perfectly.
Yea...cute episode, next!
17. Let's take A quiz
The reason for me liking this is the most common one on this list: It was funny.
In this episode, Candace hears Jeremy will be on Tv, which will put him out of her league, so she joins in on P&F's new game show. Meanwhile, Doof tries to get rid of infomercials.
This has a lot of funny moments, that come at full force. I don't have much to comment on, but i shall try
The game show itself has some genius moments, including one part where Bufor tries this
"Uh...tony"
"Tony?"
"Why not?"
"..why not?"
"Yea, tony backward!"
Get it? Tony? y not? ...I gotta stop explaining the jokes.
Okay, the jokes are why i love this episode. I don't much other reason, but i find the ending cute, if predictable. But ferb's line is great.
Uh...oh, the song!
It's the theme for the game show. Short, but sweet.
The doof plot is good, plus i hate infomercials as much as he does! And it leads to a funny fight.
Plus, we get the return of a old gag, which we will talk about later.
I have little to say, but great episode, so let's move on!
16. Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet max modem
Ah, our first episode without a lot of Candace, though she does help start the plot.
In Flop Starz we learn Mom, used to be a pop star called Lindana. Word of God said the boys would learn about this. Well, here they already know, so that was a lie.
Here, Candace learns about that and gets mom into an 80's concert thingy. Lawrence, their dad is sad that he won't be at her level anymore, so the boys turn him into fake 80's star, Max Modem. Meanwhile, Doof tries to make people think he rules over a bunch of little alien dudes.
This episode is an example of taking something we learned in another one, and giving us a good plot from it. ...I have no other examples.
We also get the "full" (like half) version of "I'm Lindana and I wanna have fun". With sexy (and cute in Candace's case) background singes! The other song is "Alien heart", which is the first time We hear the singing talents of Richard O Brian. After like, a season and a half! What took them so long? Hell, in the episode "A Hard Days knight", fellow Rocky Horror actor, Tim freaking Curry lent his voice.! Why hasn't he sung?
okay, that aside, i like this episode. Linda and Lawrence have funny moments together, and the ending is cute.
15. Phineas and Ferb Christmas vacation
Ah, don't you just love christmas specials? Yes. Yes you do.
I explained this in my top 12 Christmas specials list, but let's talk again. \
In this episode, Phineas and Ferb turn the town into a giant thank you card for Santa. Meanwhile, Candace looks for the perfect gift for Jeremy, but things go wrong when Doof uses his new inator to make Santa think everyone is bad, and therefore stop Christmas from coming to Danville.
What is there to say about this other then…Awesome! Apparently, Dan And Swampy were really proud of this one, and said, and I quote "It's a really sweet, warm special that we're really proud to have our name on.". Well, that's true. It really is.
Fun Fact: This used to be my ultimate favorite P&F episode…then A bunch of other's that bumped it down my list. But it's still every bit as good, as you think it would be.
This is really heartwarming, and some part could be considered a Tear Jerker. Yes, it has some really funny moments, but also sad ones. This is just fantastic in almost every way.
I'll never think of Santa the same way again, especially when he's voiced by Clancy Brown, AKA Lex Luther, Mr. Krabs, and so forth. (And I thought Gilbert Gotfried was a questionable choice for Santa…)
Oh, and guess what? Doof doesn't hate Christmas. To him, It's So Okay It's Average. I love a good subversion!
Oh, and this has songs. 8 or so of them! All of them of are fantastic, but the 2 best are "I really don't hate christmas" and "What does he want?", the latter of which was cut out of the original airing, but put back in during Christmas of '10. I don't why they cut it. It's good.
Plus it has Stacy in a santa suit. That's nice.
I won't spoil this one for you, go watch it for yourself. It's really good.
14. Rollercoaster
The one that started it all!
This was the first episode, and the one that sold the show for me.
We all know the plot, but i'll say it anyway.
Phineas and Ferb build a rollercoaster, while Candace trys to bust them for it. Meanwhile, Doof uses his Magnetism-magnifier to reverse the rotation of the earth.
I remember when i first heard of this show. I thought the title sounded stupid, but the commercials mentioned someone a crush on at the time, so i wanted to watch it. But, that's a tale for another day.
While it does seem strange, considering what the show is like now. But this still a good episode either way. Candace is the one who stole the show for me, she just cracked me up from the start. All of it made me laugh, but Candace, and Perry, just made me know this was a good show. So thank the writers who came up with that.
I came in no knowing anyway. So you should of seen the look on my face when perry came up. It...was something to see. But, i loved it.
Sure, most of Phineas' lines are OOC now, but it's still funny!
"We should of charged more"
That's after something epic, so it's funny, i swear!
There's other gags, but we'll talk about them later. All this one lacks is a song. But it was the first episode, so it didn't need one.
So that's all, but good episode. The first time, was the charm.
13. Does this duck bill make me look fat?
Once again, i love this one becuase it is funny.
In this one, the boys builds teleporters, Candace tries to bust them, but ends up going all Freaky Friday with perry. Yes, they switch bodies. Perry, as Candace, must stop Doof from stealing all the slushy burger clown things
Oh, full explanation on the Doof part: The jingle of the giant slushy the clown thing is stuck in his head, so he tries to replace with an evil jingle. But he has no rhyme for evil,
Upheaveal
Midevil.
Just sayin'.
Funny thing, in the end credits song for the movie, Doof-2 joins in and...rhymes with evil. Guess they are different after all.
Anyway, during the credits song of THIS episode (yes, the song is in the credits), he says "Great, now i have THIS song stuck in my head". Says the person voiced by the guy who makes me say that every episode. Hell, this quote is on the Tv Trope's page for ear worm
Okay, back to the episode. It's a freaky friday flip, which i like. It's done in a funny way, and there's lot of funny little moments.
My favorites are when Perry!Candace tries to slap doof...but he has no tail, but he ends showing off her ass.
You know-for kids!
And, when carl sees Candace, he's happy to see a teenage girl..but then the fedora comes on and he's sad. Carl likes candace.
SHIPPERS, DO YOUR DUTY!
Yeah, plus the song is a spoof of the perry theme, i dig it.
Overall, this is a funny little version of the cliche body switch episode. Next!
12. Oh, There you are perry
Another heartwarming one!
In this episode, Perry is relocated to a new villain, because doof just sucks. He isn't happy. Phineas tries to find perry, and Candace thinks this is all her fault because of how she treated perry.
The vilain, is known as The Regurgiator.
"You can push him down, but he comes back up!"
He's insanely hammy, and voiced by Clancy Brown. Yes, he's Santa. Weird thought. He's pretty funny, and evil too. Hell, I used to be called The Regurgitator on the wiki. But now i am...StacyFan.
Shut up.
Anyway, we also get the return of Marty the rabbit boy and his musical blender, from Flop Starz. Yea.
It's a sweet episode. Perry learns he's better off with a pushover like doof, who actually likes him, rather then Lex Luthor here. Plus, there's some cut stuff at the end with perry, and the gang.
As for funny moments...anything with Doof, and the carl part i quoted.
The song is "Come Home perry", sung to get perry back. Candace's part is very funny, and this sells it.
"I'm gonna move to the prairie, and change my name to larry!"
"...Larry?"
"I ran out of rhymes, okay?"
That's gold.
This episode is both funny and sweet. Add a funny one shot (not counting carpe diem cameos), villain and we have a great episode.
11. One Good Scare ought to do it!
Okay, this was good enough to get on Disney Channel's top fan picked episodes. It's well deserved. Let's see why.
Isabella has the hiccups, so P&F make a haunted house to scare them out of her. Meanwhile, Candace finds out that Jeremy's little sister is an evil little bitch and also does that busting thing. Also Meanwhile, Doof helps get ride of the lair of his old Mentor Professor Destruction. Kevin to his friends.
This all leads to some of the best scenes in the show.
Also ,we have 3 songs, this candace song which is okay, but has one funny line, and the title song, which is vastly overrated. And of course, the Perry the platypus theme,. Bad. ass. But we'll talk about that some other time.
You may think i like this one becuase of the Phineas/Isabella aspect of the episode.
Hell. No. That could not be further from the truth. I like that pairing, but i couldn't care less about it. Fuck you, crazy shippers. Seriously.
I like it, becuase it's so funny. My friend, who's name will not be known, has this in his top 5 or so. It's THAT good. Imma show you some gags. Here, is when monogram guesses where doof is.
"Magical elves took him to the land of angry corn people. Or maybe he's in that lair with..a D...carved into it. Oh"
...THIS SHOULD HAPPEN IN THE MOVIE. DO IT.
Err, anyway, it's also funny to see Candace freak out over suzy. But...buford freaking it? Gold. Period.
This is one insanely funny episode, and a great half hour one.

See you next time for the top 10!
