How Phineas And Ferb Did The 'Impossible'

Everyone told the creators of Phineas and Ferb that the show they wanted to make was impossible. Yet, the best Phineas and Ferb episodes prove that what was supposed to be impossible, is really just a rethinking of how animated shows are written. Whether its Perry and Doofenshmirtz or a song, its hard to forget this show once you've seen it. Phineas and Ferb was Disney taking a risk, and its one that absolutely paid off.

What is the best Disney show of all time?

[jgjackpot]

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

[mariah]

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

[danidkg]

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

[SimranSingh-bbft]

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

[Mom-cfje]

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

[ethanhaas]

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

[samantha]

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

[reimarz]

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

[noahgodard]

"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.

[johnmartinez]

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

[kipptt]

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

[sandrasaysrawwr]

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.

[CrashKinkaide]

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.

[Acruxmg]

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

[julianooms]

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

[cassied.]

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.

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

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

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