What is the best Disney show of all time?

“Aren’t you a little young to be breaking the boundaries of traditional children’s shows?” “Yes, yes we are.”

the funniest moment to me is when perry kicks down doofenschmirtz's door and he gets mad bc the door wasn't even locked and forces perry to pay for the insurance

The smartest thing they did was tell us what an aglet is

Remember when they did an episode where they raced planets and Buford called it Uranos instead of Uranus and when Balgeet said he was saying it wrong he replied with “that’s how we say it in this channel.” That still gets me

The smartest thing that the show did was also quitting while ahead and actually successfully wrapping up most of the character arcs.

I downright died when Doof was hit with an ugly-a-nator and his face stayed the same, I’m 19 and it still gets me

“this is too complicated” everyone: *understands formula in one episode*

I loved the show as a kid because it didn't force "lessons" down your throat but instead encouraged genuine creativity and having fun.

“Kids are smarter than shows give them credit for” I’m glad some creators realize that

“I ain’t got rhythm” still slaps all these years later

I actually never noticed that there weren't really conflicts or character developments in that show.

Phineas and Ferb had very repetitive episodes and each one still managed to entertain me. Now that's the impossible.

I loved that one episode where they just literally did nothing and Candace didn’t believe them

The most under appreciated fact is that the songs are genuinely good, even without the context from the show. And they made songs for multiple genres.

My fav episode when Planty the Potted Plant defeated doof and got himself job in OWCA

Phineas and Ferb feels like it gets kids. It didn’t try and pretend they were made of glass.

"aren't you kids a little young to transcend time and space?" "yes, yes we are"

One of the things I love about Phinneas and Ferb is that somebody's embarrassment never became the thing to laugh at. Even when Candace was sometimes put in an embarrassing situation, she still wasn't humiliated. I hate watching shows that make someone being the butt of the joke an important part of the comedy. Not only does it feel a bit gross, but my secondhand embarrassment is too strong.

And we all can agree that they created one of the best characters ever. I’m of course referring to Dr. D.

I loved this show when I was kid and now as a 21 year old, I have no shame in saying i bought Disney+ just to watch Phineas and Ferb. I honestly enjoy it even more now that i’m an adult more than I did when I was a kid.

The only episode that didn't have a song was the pilot, so they later remade that episode as a 22 minute musical. I love this show.

What's actually impossible is how they afforded all their builds.

Another thing I loved about the show is that it never took itself too seriously. It always cracked jokes on itself which made it even funnier.

The most tragic backstory was when Doof's mom never let him go swimming.

"It all began on the day of my actual birth. Both of my parents failed to show up." is still one of the funniest lines in television history, change my mind.

The writers choosing not to dumb down the writing is why I was able to still watch this show with my younger brother even tho I was in high school and he was still in elementary school.

"The only thing impossible in life is impossibility" -Phineas

The fact that pretty much every single Phineas and Ferb song is iconic is impressive enough

When doof cant recognize Perry without his hat

"there's no true emotional stakes" *Balloony: Am I a joke to you*

"The ending is always happy" The 2nd dimension movie: well yes but actually D A R K

I also gotta add the translators did an amazing job, at least for the german translation. They managed to translate the songs and still have everything fitting the beat and expressing the same

"This summer just keeps going on and on, it feels like its been going on for like 4 years." -Doofenshmirtz

“Squirrels in my Pants” still slaps to this day.

The “kids are smarter than networks give them credit for” thing is really true

In a hilarious twist, Disney said it was “impossible”. And the boys do the impossible, I love this show in so many ways.

They always ask "Where's Perry?" Never "How's Perry?"

For some reason, I didn’t even notice there was a song in EVERY episode

My favorite gag is Isabella having a crush on Phineas and him not even noticing. It was so iconic that at a panel, Alyson Stoner (Isabella’s voice actress) explicitly said it and Vincent Marella (Phineas’s voice actor) replied with “I don’t know WHAT she’s tapking about.”

They formed a whole generation also taught everyone Aglet A-G-L-E-T aglet dont forget it

“It all started in the day of my actual birth. Both of my parents failed to show up.”

For me this show is a template for the modern day Looney Toons, it has rules but once they’re established it can play with them and it’s honestly just so much fun it makes me happy

When I was a kid my dad would always watch Fineas and Ferb with me and I wondered why he enjoyed a kids show so much. Thank you for the enlightenment

They discovered something that doesn't exist, the biggest mindf*ck

Do y’all remember “Busted”? that songs SLAPS

Fun Fact : This show was the pitched for 16 years. From Fox Kids to Cartoon Network to Nickelodeon, all of them rejected it. Disney was the final channel for the creators to pitch, at first Disney rejected the concept but they ask the creators for them to keep the portofolio of the drawings and that was the last hope that the creator have in pitching the show meaning that if Disney rejected it, that's literally the end of it. Instead Disney surprised them by accepting it and the rest is history

I always though that Phineas and Ferb was a very smart show with smart humor, and that's the main reason why I enjoyed it so much. It's cool to see that that was actually the writers' intention

"Aren't these jokes too old for kids?" "Yes, yes they are"

No emotional stakes? We all forgotten about every single time doofenshmirtz has a flashback? (edit: doesn't matter but for some reason my comment is invisible to some of my friends that want proof it exists, anyone know why?)

Disney said it wasn't going to work and now Phineas and Ferb is being renewed for another season. This show is what got me interested in animation and art and I will forever be grateful for it. There will never be another show like it

I never knew it took 16 years to get the show off the ground - the most interesting part of that to me is just thinking of the age difference in its eventual audience! I was 16 when the first episode aired, and LOVED it even though I figured I was a bit too old to be its target audience. Never knew it had been in development my entire life at that point! If it had had an easier start, I might have grown up with it! Maybe that explains the instant appeal lol.

"There's a platypus controlling me" still slaps

Favorite quote from them is from the solstice special when they are stuck on the island. “Look! A sponge and a starfish! There’s gotta be something we can make out of that! Wait no, that’s ridiculous.”

Watching Phineas and Ferb everyday with my older sister was a true summer childhood experience. In our Disney Channel server they would broadcast Phineas and Ferb everyday during the summer breaks and it just gave us that feeling/aura of summer that no other cartoon was able to make. I loved this show and will never hate it.

I can always appreciate when a creator doesn't just assume kids are dumb. They aren't. They are just adults in little bodies. Talking down to them can cause life long problems

They did the impossible, which was to make every single day of summer vacation enjoyable.

I’m 90% sure Dr Doofenshmirtz had the most emotional, intense backstory there is.

I feel like Phineas and Ferb are plot driven characters done well. They’re static in a way that their intrinsic motivations throughout the whole series never changes and the script never really leaves room for nuance in the one dimensional type of character. I feel like we see more depth to Doofenshmirtz or even Candace than we do the titular protagonists. Yet I feel like this works to show’s advantage because it allows an audience (a majority impressionable kids) to more easily project their own selves onto the two characters who keep on winning.

Honestly he is so right that this show is written for anyone. I’m 19, my sister is 23, and my dad is 50 and recently we were just all together and just randomly turned on Phineas and Ferb and we were CRACKING UP cause it is so genuinely funny. It’s humor is so unique and anybody can enjoy it. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who didn’t like Phineas and Ferb and that’s awesome cause it’s a unifying factor between a lot of people. Me and my friends make Phineas and Ferb quotes constantly and they’re so funny to me cause I can directly imagine how funny it was the first time I watched it. If you can’t tell, I just really love this show and now after it has been explained in a bit more detail I see why I liked it so much.

"Aren't you kids a little young to be immortalized in the hearts and minds of millions?"

"Aren't you kids too young for this?" "Yes, yes we are"

I frequently shuffle all the songs from Phineas and Ferb and just listen to them for fun. My Dad once asked, "Aren't you a little old for that?" I wish I had the foresight to have responded, "Wel,, yes, yes I am."

P&F: “Don’t worry. Just be happy.” Me: “Tell that to my face after your wave to the camera in the last episodeee!😭😭😭”

One of my favorite lines from Phineas and Ferb: "Well, I think we have all learned a valuable lesson today....But we all know what it is, so why waste time repeating it?" An obvious jab at how a lot of kids shows talk down to their target audience. Like Dan Povenmire said: Kids are smarter than people give them credit for.

"Carl the Intern" has the best closing riff of all time

I've NEVER gotten tired of this show

This! The elevated humor just makes it long lasting! Dan and Jeff are geniuses! They created a enjoyable and stimulating series that has been beneficial for children and adults alike. I’ve enjoyed phineas and ferb since it’s release as a child, and as a young adult, I am still finding new things that keep me interested. I do strongly credit this show for shaping how I am as a person because it’s not just a filler show. It truly does provide skills for children, while being enjoyable for parents. I will forever be a P&F fan because of it. The things that make it unique are what make it the best. I just found this video, but I’m so glad I did because you managed to put everything a phineas and ferb fan would say while providing concrete proof as well! Great video about a great show!

“phineas and ferb tells us to be happy” *remembers all dr doofenshmirtz’s sad backstory*

Doofenshmirtz: "AAAAH! I'm ugly! I'm horrible! I'm- I'm-... Oh, reeeeal funny."

Show: There's 104 days of summer vacation 2020: Are you kidding me? That's insultingly low!

I remember when I was really getting back into the show when I was really young. I would sit down and watch a few episodes, and there was something there that I never really could describe. Keep in mind, I was at the age where I had no real concept and love for well crafted shows and movies as I do now, we all were relatively like that when we were that age. But somehow, there was just something there that kept me watching and jokes and humour that made me enjoy every second of it. This aspect of the show has always stuck with me, even today. And since Covid recommends us to stay indoors, imma binge watch the heck out of this show.

Interviewer: "So tell me a bit about your life" Me: "It all started in the day of my actual birth. Both of my parents failed to show up". Interviewer:..."What?"...

People: This show will do so great! Show: *Does horrible* People: This show will go horribly! Show: *wins award for how good of a show it is*

"You can have fun with nothing more than your friends in a summer day" Me: Crying in 2020

Okay but the SONGS. Summer belongs to you. What might have been. Gitchee gitchee goo. Busted. Platypus controlling me. Ain't got rythm. Need i go on ? Every single song was such a bop. Sometimes i'll find myself humming a song from the show, and i'll be like wait, what ? Amazing.

"The only thing that's impossible is impossibility." -- Phineas

Everything in one episode: "Hey Ferb, I know what we're going to do today" "Hey, where's Perry?" Cuts to Perry going to his secret lair dooby dooby doobah dooby dooby doobah "Good morning, Agent P. Stop Doofenshmirtz." DOOFENSHMIRTZ EVIL INCORPORATEEEEEED "Ah! Perry the Platypus." Doof traps Perry "Behold! The _____inator!" He possibly says something like a tragic backstory or a reason why he built what he built Perry rolls his eyes Cut to Phineas and Ferb making their big invention, Isabella saying "whatcha doin," Buford and Baljeet also joining in, Phineas and Ferb completing their invention, and Candace trying to get Mom's attention Maybe some "aren't you a little young to be ______?" "Yes, yes I am." Cut back to Doof and Perry Perry escapes while Doof is just rambling about nothing Then they fight and probably bump into the inator which usually goes into rapid fire after they do Inator explodes, probably CURSE YOU, PERRY THE PLATYPUUUUUSSS!! A zap from the inator destroys Phineas and Ferb's invention thus getting rid of the evidence Candace finally shows Mom and it's gone Candace says something like, "but, but, but, but" "Oh there you are, Perry!" "Anyone want some pie? "Yes, yes we do." Ferb says something THE END And a song somewhere in there Let me know if I missed anything.

Mooommm! Phineas and Ferb made a show that harbored millions of fans and produced catchy songs.

When I was depressed, I’d watch this show for hours and hours. I didn’t watch any other show cause they all felt boring. But Phineas and Ferb was still as funny as it was 10 years ago when me and my friends watched every episode.

Random person: " aren't you too old to watch Phineas and Ferb?" Me:" No, no I'm not "

“A-G-L-E-T aglet! Don’t forget it!” I never have, and I think of this show whenever I hear the word aglet.

I love the fact that they made an entire episode centered on the top of a shoelace which also had an amazing music score as well. Though in my humble opinion. “Bow Chicka wow wow” will always be number 1

It's sort of funny how each episode had multiple plotlines + an original song, but it never felt confusing or complicated. The fact they landed each episode accomplishing that while I can still remember full episodes plotlines in my brain years later is extremely impressive!!!

Should be renamed to *how phineas does the impossible: putting his shirt on*

I can’t believe this show was all hand drawn

This show made me realize that this is not like other cartoons. It can still be relevant even when you get a little older. Other cartoons, when you re-watch them, you can see the difference in how you see them before and now. The magic and idea that the cartoon is great gradually disappear, and that it is not how you remember it. But this... it brings you joy and childhood, the nostalgia you get from just a cartoon.

Phineas and Ferb is a masterpiece, I'm glad you were able to explain that clearly

“Ain’t got rhythm” was one of my favorite songs as a child and it’s still a killer song

The only impossible thing is how Phineas put on his shirt

the bg music at 8:45 and his style of narration reminds me of mark rober

The remarkable thing in this show was how well the characters are written- Candace is the ultimate narc when it comes to her brothers, the biggest simp when it comes to Jeremy and a headache for her Mom in most episodes because her brothers' schemes are never caught - yet, the show doesn't go overboard and villanize her. Infact, in a lot of episodes Phineas and Ferb start their project for the day based on what Candace is going through - like the Monster Truck episode. Her trials and tribulations, which are several, are also a source of humour in the show, like when she accidentally turns into a mummy or the Black Knight. Phineas and Ferb are intelligent, creative and despite being different when it comes to personality traits and behaviour, they work well together. Phineas is of course a great character with his leadership skills, optimistic outlook on life and fearless attitude but I also really like how they portrayed Ferb. He is mostly silent, but when he does speak, you still find yourself chuckling. Their parents are well read, pleasant people who are always busy about something. And that makes sense, considering the way their kids behave. Coming to Perry and Doofenshmirtz, the unique thing in their relationship is a common sense of courtesy and respect, even when they're fighting. Like how Perry helps set up Vanessa's party or how Perry borrows Norm one night and the evil scientist is like "Sure". Their enmity is both hilarious and absurd but as you mentioned above, grounded by a structure that remains the same throughout.

The elevated writing, also makes the show timeless. Where kids who grew up with it can rewatch it catching all of the incredibly funny visual gags they weren’t looking for or the jokes they couldn’t understand.

People disproving of the pitch: "What reason do we have to sympathize with Doofenshmirtz? Could you tell some of his backstory?" *_None of my parents showed up for my birth_*

I loved this show as a kid. My siblings, my mother and I will gather to watch it and we all enjoyed so much. I still enjoy it now at 21 years old. Just as my siblings, who are older than me, still do. My mom still did, she would always say my big sis was Candace, she truly loved this show, and even though she already passed away, thanks to this show I have a lot of amazing memories. Pst: I don't know if it was because of the show, but I must admit the huge impact it had on us as kids, so me and my siblings are currently studying to be engineers. Isn't that funny?? 😂😂😂

This video perfectly explains why me and my brother loved watching this when we were kids (and we still love watching it to this day) and why my dad loved to sit down and watch it with us, it's an amazing show and you portrayed it perfectly

That library song is musically superior to most of the songs that are created today

Phineas doing the impossible: *Putting on a shirt*

This show made me laugh so many times but probably my favorite is when Doof was in the robot dragon and he says but my robot breathes fi ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, as the fire engulfs him as well. Then when that's over he casually calls it a stupid design. So amazing

When I was watching this show growing up I never noticed that they created a new song for each episode. That’s crazy!
