I feel like an aspect of Phineas and Ferb that goes completely underappreciated is that not once but TWICE per episode the writers were able to link the story lines of two brothers building crazy and impossible things with their friends and an evil scientist who poorly tries to take over of the world and also battles a platypus AND somehow make it that whatever malfunctioning device the scientist made completely removed the proof anything had happened with them. Like… that’s astounding  

What’s more astounding is the fact that they managed to, somehow, make it weirder and weirder without losing face. Like. I wonder how they explained these scenarios to the animators with a straight face.
“Yeah, so we’re gonna have the platypus get in a swordfight with the evil scientist. Yeah, have the Duel of the Fates playing in the background. Yeah, it’s gonna be Brutworst and Hot dog as swords”

Phineas and Ferb is really unappreciated just because “the plot is always the same, that’s a lame excuse for not having enough ideas”. Like no, not at all. This is exactly what makes the show so good: the ability to make every episode special by changing the usual pattern just a little. It’s always a little changing: using Perry’s point of view , make the episode go on backwards, making Linda (the mom) become the Candace of the situation by trying to get her husband’s attention, make Perry and Candace switching bodies…

It’s a little change of the pattern, but it’s enough, because the plot is NOT the pattern: the plot develops around the pattern like it’s some kind of environment or scenery.

And the best part is that the characters themselves know about it: Candace knows she will never bust them, Linda knows that her daughter will never give up, the boys know that their invections will just disappear.

Y’all are forgetting the FRIKKIN MUSIC
