Phineas and Ferb Get Busted Review

Women and children and the faint of heart may

wish to leave now. She said what? She said being

an adult sucks. I quit. Yeah. There's a hundred

and four days of summer vacation and school comes

along just to end it. So the annual problem for

our generation is finding a good way to spend

it. Like maybe building a rocket or fighting

a mummy or climbing up the Eiffel Tower. Discovering

something that doesn't exist, or giving a monkey

a shower. Stirping pathways, creating nanobots,

or locating Frankenstein's brain. Finding a dodo

bird, painting a continent, or driving her sister

insane. As you can see, there's a whole lot of

stuff to do before school starts this fall. So

stick with us, cause Phineas and Ferb are gonna

do it all. So stick with us, cause Phineas and

Ferb are - Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a

title sequence! Because folks and I know Michael

hates it when I give the behind -the -scenes

stuff But basically when we recorded these episodes

we record three a night, so I was kind of surprised

that episode 14 15 and 16 Episode 14 under two

-parter and episode 16 and two -parter and then

we had that squishy Betty fishmongering stuff

in the middle there And now we can end it on

a high note That sounded so wrong didn't it squishy

fishy Betty stuff Yeah about some Cadbury cream

egg filling if you went don't I didn't realize

you liked the Spice Girls like that I have better

taste in that please Alright, so today it's Phineas

and Ferb get busted. Oh boy, it's another two

-parter. Parts one and two. Yep, parts one and

two. Two -parters are a lot of fun because they,

again, they have extra time to flesh out the

story and, you know, sometimes they introduce

interesting characters or, you know, they have...

More songs in them or Ferb gets an extra line.

This is always cool You know when we eventually

get to it and the only reason why I Know this

is because I've seen the episode enough times

as we've said before in the last 15 days of the

show We've seen these episodes Millions upon

millions of times. I think the longest and I

could be wrong and I will will I'll correct myself

when I get to it when we get it to that day for

that episode, but I think the longest speech

Ferb ever had in the actual series was in the

Lizard Whisperer episode. Oh, we will search

for him in the streets. We will search for him

in the fields. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Winston Churchill.

Yeah, I think that was the longest one he had.

Yeah. So we are going to get to Phineas and Ferb

get busted after this. Hey, Ferb! Have you seen

bolt number 473? Okay, it's still here. Oh, come

on, Mom! We're really coming down to the wire

on this one! Mom! Oh, great and magical being

who makeeth all things magically vanish before

Mom sees them! Knock it off! Thanks, Vivian.

See you Tuesday for totem pole carving. Mom,

Mom, quick! Mom, look! Before it disappears!

Well, if it isn't the welcoming committee from...

No time for dry witty remarks! Must be a vote,

vote, vote! Don't you get tired of this? What

do you mean? The same old routine, every day.

Doesn't it ever get, I don't know, boring? You

know what? You're right. I guess it has gotten

a little old. I just get so frustrated. I always

come so close to busting Finnies and Ferb, but

it ends up the same way every single time. I

look and say there's a massive thing Finnies

and Ferb built right in front of me, but every

time you look, you always say... I see it. There

it is. I see it! Right on cue! Wait, what? Come

again? I see it! You mean you see my point? No,

Candice. I see... that! You do? How could I miss

it? But I don't understand how the... or who

the... what the... Hi, Mom! Check it out! The

flying car of the future, today! Is that my...

car? The flying car of the future today is still

pulling a bit to the right. Phineas! Ferb! Get

down here! That's hip -dead! Okay, Mom. Be right

down. Oh, there you are, Perry. So what do you

think, Mom? Pretty cool, huh? Cool? This is the

most dangerous thing I've ever seen! Don't worry,

we were safe. Ferb invented a new invisible helmet

head system. When life's never dull, wear a hull

for your skull. How dare you do all this without

permission! But all our building permits are

in order. I mean, MY permission. This morning

I asked you if we could modify our car to make

it fly. I was talking about your toy car! How

could you possibly think I meant my station wagon?!

You are in SO much trouble, young man! But, we

do this sort of thing every day. What?! See,

Mom, I told you. But you never listened. But

I - Mom! Phineas and Ferb build a rollercoaster!

Phineas and Ferb are one -hit wonders?! Phineas

and Ferb - Oh Candace all the times I called

you delusional and mocked you to my friends behind

your back all those journals I filled with an

eye towards stand -up comedy, but you were telling

the truth. I'm so sorry You're the best daughter

any mother could dream of having. Finally, you

realized that. Well, what's all this yelling

about? Oh, my word! That is impressive. Did you

know about this? Well, I... I... I... I... No.

What are you gonna do to them? No TV for a month?

Or they have to serve me for a year? How about

confiscating their toolbox? I know! Take away

their seats on the City Council! You have seats

on the City Council? We rotate out with the Board

of Selectmen. Well, some punishment may be in

order, but look, there's no harm done, really.

Hey, look, Ferb. Here's bolt number 473. I hope

that wasn't important. Well at least the self

-parking works Alright folks we are back Candice

finally busts Phineas and Ferb when they build

a flying car and a control tower in the backyard

The boys are sent to a reformatory school to

have their imaginations removed However realizing

that the school is not a good place for the boys

Candice with the help of Jeremy goes on a mission

to save Phineas and Ferb That doesn't look like

the brochure But was that attention Internet

was I supposed to respond to that is that I guess

I don't know like hey, what do you think of this?

I don't know man The flying car of the future

today today, it's right. Where is the flying

car of the future today? To the right fully a

little the rents, right? I like that, you know,

this isn't the first time that they've changed

her car or made her car. This is the third time.

Yeah, exactly. Not the last time, by the way.

Except this time she sees it. Is that my car?

I love that she gets the mom twitchy eye. Yeah,

I love that twitchy eye. That that in Linda.

Yeah exactly, but I've seen I've seen the mom

twitchy eye. Yeah, it's cause to fear Yes, yes

it is So, let's see here the boys cool things

I'm gonna say so the boys go off to reform school

It's off to reform school for you and they meet

sergeant sim Sergeant Sam again plays played

by Clancy Brown Yeah, I was thinking more of

guard Hadley from Shawshank Redemption also played

by Clancy Brown. Oh, really? Okay. No, I you

know, whenever I think of whatever I think a

Clancy Brown I think of the first time I saw

him in a movie which was Starship Troopers uh...

and he was certain that i saw the same for i

saw star ship trooper. really? actually that

was the first movie i actually went back to see

twice and i actually paid for it twice i didn't

like hide in the theater under a sticky seat

when i theatered i didn't hide in the theater

i just sat in the front row because no one ever

goes down there that's awful alright so I suppose

I should put this in the no -no -we -don't moments,

but it's just more of a question than a good

or a bad thing. What is it? Like, we know that

Lawrence, like, we know they have, like, an antique

store. But what is it exactly that Linda does?

She has all these activities and it seems like

they don't make any money yet they're okay. Like,

what's going on with the Flynn -Flencher finances

here? Because... She goes, like, she does the

cooking class, she does whatever the fly -fishing

thing in this episode. She's got the jazz thing

going on. That I don't think would cost her anything.

She does pottery, baking, French cooking. Are

the Flynn Fletchers a bunch of one -percenters

like Donald Trump? No, they live in the suburbs.

Yeah, that's true. Gotta be rich to live in the

suburbs and I'm gonna be poor to live in the

ghetto. I guess their neighbors have a pool Yeah,

that's true Just call me ball jeet. Oh See Baljeet

has no imagination hence why this didn't even

affect like the whole time he's in this episode

He's not affected by it because he has like the

only thing he's interested in is getting an a

and doing well in school He has no he's already

a conformist Yeah It was funny though cuz you

know it's not affecting him so when they strap

him down clockwork orange style with his eyeballs

peeled open he's He's like chewing popcorn, you

know. The book was so much better. The book was

better. Have you ever read Clockwork Orange?

No. It's a book. And it was better than the movie.

Yeah, I know the reference, but I've never actually

read the book. Oh, yeah. The book was twisted.

I mean, the movie was twisted, but in a slightly

different way. It had Darth Vader in it. Not

the book, the movie. Oh. Yeah. David Prowse.

Oh, no, I thought you meant the real Darth Vader.

No, no, no, not James Earl Jones. Was that in

the movie? Was he? I don't think so. No, I thought

that's who I thought you were. When anyone says

Darth Vader in the damn suit. Yeah. Well, David

Prowse, you don't realize what a big guy he is

until you actually see him out of the suit. Yeah.

He played like a bodyguard. And yeah, the guy's

like seven feet tall. This huge bodybuilder guy.

Oh so he and Chewbacca are Running the same circles.

Yeah, so yeah somewhat I don't know if we've

ever seen Chewbacca and Darth Vader standing

side by side, but probably similar in height

But I've seen your pictures of Peter Mayhew before

so I know he's pretty tall. He's really tall.

He's a big guy. Yeah Anyway, I wanted to point

that out a clockwork orange is It's one of Stanley

Kubrick's masterpieces, but it was very different

from the book. The Ferris Wheel bunk bed. That's

kind of cool. And it earns them toilet duty.

Yep. No funky rhythms. No funky rhythms. It took

a while to drill that creativity out of them.

Yeah, it did. And then we have Morty Williams,

voiced by none other than Geraldo Rivera himself.

Really? Because he looks just like Geraldo Rivera.

Right, but it's also a play on Monty Williams.

Or Montel Williams, I should say. Yeah. Whatever.

Now, wasn't he in an episode before? Geraldo?

Well, no, Morty. Morty Williams he might have

been I don't know if he was voiced by Geraldo

because I remember there was a oh No, it was

the episode with the with the panda Yeah, and

it was like all this stuff feel better Okay,

yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah, it was

dr. Phil better Yeah, no feel better. Say it

right. Dr. Phil better is dr. Feel better than

dr. Phil. He was dr. Phil better but Okay, if

it wasn't that episode is a different episode

but it was totally Geraldo yeah. Yeah Yeah, you

know Morty Williams is voiced by her although

here yeah and The these chains song that's in

this it's basically Candice and wild parsnips

again. She's not actually singing but it's that

Yeah, it's wild parsnips voice blues. You've

got blues going on. It's gotta be canvas on parsnips

Yeah, I love glancy brown when he's trying to

break them. No, no, no Spray them with water

like That's right. He's in this giant water Mac,

you know, it's just hosing them down You know

water a giant Mac with water cannons. You know,

they can't can this gets the I Know what we're

gonna do today line, which was interesting. I

Know what we're gonna do today bust my brothers

out. We already did that. Yeah, I did it bust

them out Why is Morty Williams running off with

our children? I don't know. I gotta say, it seems

that Lawrence Fletcher, it seems like Mr. Fletcher

doesn't know a lot of these clues about stuff.

And honestly, that leads to the happiest sorts

of marriages. Just better off not knowing. Ignorance

is bliss and obedience. Ignorance and obedience

are two of the cornerstones of a happy marriage

I like is a every time Phineas and Ferb try to

do something creative Clancy Brown points the

box. So I gotta go back in the box. The boys

are being forced to think in the box Imagination

is morally wrong. Yeah, it's funny So Jeremy

proposes to Candice, whoops! That's when we realized

that the whole thing's a dream. Well, I kind

of thought it was all a dream when everybody

becomes hand puppets. Controlled by Beljeet,

who's a hand puppet, who's controlled by Kevin

the Zebra. No, it's controlled by Beljeet. Well,

Beljeet is controlling the parents and then Kevin

- no, Kev - the zebra's name is not kevin he

calls kandace kevin it's the talking zebra he

doesn't have that's his name talking zebra his

name is not kevin he says hello kevin yeah because

he's talking to kandace he's calling her kevin

i just call him kevin the zebra you don't have

to go over this and over this and over this over

the remaining 90 some odd days of summer that

we have left he's gonna show up again Yes, this

for fun. We should name the giant baby head too.

So every time the giant baby head shows up It's

Paul McCartney the giant baby head, you know,

we'll name him something not Paul McCartney.

We'll give him a different name Gavin Rossdale

What's uh, I was gonna say what is Ashley Tisdale's

boyfriend's name? She's probably dating someone

famous. It's Musso? No, I don't know. We'll name

the giant baby head after Ashley Tisdale's real

-life boyfriend. Probably dating that one kid

from The Suite Life of Zack and Tyler. Zack and

Cody, get it right. Zack and Cody? What did I

say, Zack and Cody the first time? Don't even

sweet life of Jack and Koki. I'll have a jacket

Koki The last thing that I liked before you can

finish yours is I never noticed this before but

Phineas in their room When we see that that Perry

wakes up from Perry's dream, which you can talk

about in a minute, but When Perry wakes up and

we see Phineas console him any face lays back

they both lay back down uh... to the left of

phoenix's bed there's a giant lawn gnome in his

room really wonder why? i've never noticed that

either maybe that was part of another dream dreams

were the dreams we must go deeper god friggin

inception yeah yeah that's funny but uh you know

doof and perry suddenly i'm like where's the

bee story and they bust out of the It busts out

on the ground riding a giant spider and then

Perry like hey, how you guys doing? You know

and Candice is like Our platypus has a hat, you

know, and I'm thinking I don't remember any of

this. I mean wouldn't wouldn't he get kicked

out of the Organization without a cool acronym

if they saw and then Perry wakes up Yeah, and

then it's Perry's dream except it's uh yeah wait

a minute it was it was it was uh Candice's dream

no no it was not Candice's dream yeah maybe it

was it was it whose dream was it it was Candice's

dream and then and then it became the ending

to Brazil yeah Terry Gilliam you know shock troopers

are storming and then But it's actually Perry's

dream You know Harry wakes up because they're

like, oh we have to take you away because your

cover has been blown It's Perry's dream Perry's

nightmare, I guess Yeah, and then finish some

Ferb sprout wings and they fly away from the

city The only thing about Perry's dream that

really baffles me Yeah, is how many of those

soldiers came out of that fold away bed? I'm

sorry. There's no way in hell You gotta go back

and watch the end of Brazil cuz that was That

was awesome. Actually, there's several different

I think so. This is just one of them Yeah, one

of the other ones was The one I just mentioned,

but didn't get a rise on it. Let's do the Scooby

-Doo ending! And I would have gotten away with

it too. Old man Doofenshmirtz. That's right.

Doofenshmirtz didn't show up at all. We had a

whole 30 minutes and there was no innator. No,

he showed up in the dream. Well no, it was a

dream and yeah. It was the spider innator or

whatever it was. Was it the spider innator? I

don't know. Is the spider -nator somehow actually

going to take over the triceratops this time?

I don't know. He doesn't actually, I mean he

has, I think he has, I'm not looking at the wiki

anymore, but I think he has a small little line

when they show up with the giant spider that

comes up out of the thing, and you see Perry

fighting him, so he shows up, but I don't know

if he says too much. I don't think he says anything.

Yeah. It's like, curse you, Perry! Nope, nothing.

And that's sad. again this is one of the uh one

of the my issues is when they skip the required

bits you know you have to have curse you parry

the platypus or else it's just not it's not an

episode it's certainly not a double -length episode

of any note i mean i like i like the references

but it isn't for doofenshmirtz but it is for

the flin fletcher family because it's all it's

a it's a character builder for candace Sort of

sort of maybe character builder for Jeremy Maybe

this is all Jeremy's dream This is the first

episode that they kind of say that they go out

on a date That's true. Yeah, so I mean at least

this is the first episode happens that with the

way that we're watching the episodes So what

would you give Finneas and Ferb get busted? Oh

I hate hate hate to say it because again, this

is a Double -length episode and these are usually

the best Yeah, we have yet to find a bad double

-length episode and while this one isn't bad.

It doesn't measure up I'd like to give it like

a four I want to say three. I like to give it

a four. But yeah, because I mean, I like like

the references, the Clockwork Orange reference

made me giggle. No one's going to get that. Little

kids aren't going to get that. I got it. You

know, the Clancy Brown being Clancy Brown is

awesome. He he's he's Clancy Brown, but he's

he's like. putting his fingers in his ears and

going no no no no it wasn't while he hides in

the broom closet you know it's that made me giggle

um trojan horse bit the trojan i don't have room

for that i have all these other ones in here

already yeah i mean it's the every time they're

creative they get the hose you know or they get

the box It's it's you know at the end they they

they Restore their hair by putting on their their

head Helmets their hair help. Yes. Yeah, there's

a lot of funny their helmet heads. Yeah Yeah,

there's a lot of interesting. I mean, it's this

show isn't normally about Pop cultural references,

you know, they they make illusions of things

that you may recognize But they don't actually

come out and go look it's clockwork orange, you

know, or look it's Brazil Look, it's Geraldo.

You know, they Okay, that was obvious. I mean

come on. They've named him Morty Williams It's

a combination of Geraldo and Montel will you

that was uh, that was so obvious that it was

Geraldo. Yeah Was monty williams Uh, yeah, right.

I I know I know i'm just saying, you know, I

mean this this one was It's kind of created with

a wink and a nod to to the adults watching Yeah,

and but it wasn't so much created In the same

vein as earlier episodes. So we're we're missing

some major pieces Uh, there's there's literally

no B story, uh And I don't know I'd like to give

it more than a three three and a half maybe you

know, but it's just It's not one of the finer

works. It didn't measure up to it's the normal

double episode standards See, I mean, I think

it still does I There's a lot of things. I liked

I liked a lot of the references, right? You know,

I like whether any that I missed up by forgetting

something No, it's I caught a lot that I was

amused but yeah, I want to miss one. I don't

know I Mean I just like it that You know it plays

on the whole thing of always Perry, you know

Perry's a secret agent He wears a hey, they play

on all that. So again, what like I said yesterday

in the day before day 14 day 15 We need some

variety on the formula and this episode kind

of puts that pretty much on full, you know, it's

pretty much a pinball machine on full tilt at

this point with this episode, this two -parter.

Right, right. And that's what I enjoyed about

it was that it was so different, that it was

mainly focusing on Phineas Ferb, Candice, Jeremy,

all that stuff. Yeah. I just got the impression

that they invited like guest writers in who had

never seen it, you know, like they're people

who might have preferred different shows, like

Family Guy, which is all about cultural references

and flashbacks or something. And less about the

standard schtick that the last 14, 15 days have

been full of. Well, yeah, but like I said, You

get tired of the standard stick all the time.

There's only so many times they can morph that

traditional formula that they have that works

so well. The story was done by Bobby Gaylor and

Martin Olson, who are series writers on the series,

so it isn't like they have guest writers here.

But yet, after this, they keep going with the

standard stick, and they stick with it successfully.

So a few times too. Oh, yeah, but so I mean maybe

maybe this is the exception that proves the rule

Maybe it is I'm gonna give it a four and a half.

I really enjoyed it because it was a more adult

oriented episode as far as the references and

the homages and all that stuff and Like I said,

I liked it because of delving into Phineas and

Fervent Candice I'm only taking a half point

off because Stacy's song was so depressing Stacy

had a song Little Brothers. Oh Yeah, yeah Remember

that Okay, sure. Alright folks, we're gonna take

a quick break. We'll come back to close the show

after this. I was too excited to wait. I shaved

last night! Just call me Bald Geet. Get it? Bald

Geet? Okay, listen up maggots! You are here because

your parents are worried about you. Now the way

I see it, the root of all children's problems

is unacceptable levels of imagination, fun, creativity,

and unbridled enthusiasm. Don't you eyeball me!

Our goal at this school is to crush the dangerous

elements inside you and replace them with structure,

order, discipline, and conformity. What? Whatcha

doin'? Oh, a few simple modifications. We call

it the Ferris Bay. It makes trading off fair,

simple, and fun, as well as giving easy access

to the top bunk. All at the push of a button.

Pretty cool, huh? You know, this is a very inefficient

way to clean a bathroom. That's the idea! Now

make it shine! of a free -form jazz vibe kid
