Picture This, Nerdy Dancing, Reverse Engineer What Do It Do, and Atlantis

Thankfully I have no water tonight, so I will

not be doing any spit takes. Hello and welcome

to episode forty two of the podcast organization

without equal acronym I am of course tfmike and

joining me as always throughout the entire summer

throughout the entire year that we've been doing

this is of course Peacock or Michael hello hey

how's it going so this is our penultimate episode

before Christmas vacation um I originally kinda

had this planned out but not really As you folks

are hearing this I will actually be on vacation

out in California for Christmas with my fiance

Jen and her family so Yeah, we're going to basically

split up our season 2 reviews next episode episode

43 Which is the Christmas finish and verb Christmas

vacation review from season 2 will be the last

episode until January or so Maybe even February.

I don't know yet, but we are still going to be

obviously producing them and Yeah, that's that's

kind of the plan for now. Just kind of give everybody

a you know we gave you guys a Taste of things

to come with season 2. I just can't see a Phineas

and Ferb Mortal Kombat crossover. That would

just be wrong I have to agree with you. Yes,

because I don't even know what the hell Dufan

Schmerz's fatality or animality would be Oh no,

I do know what his animality would be. He would

turn into this giant werecow. A werecow? Yeah,

it's in a future episode. Alright, never mind.

It was utterly brilliant. I was actually thinking

he'd turn into a lawn gnome and launch himself

right through somebody with his pointy hat that

would just gore right through their guts. It's

Gnomageddon! Gnomageddon. So we're here and this

is our another double episode for us and I know

everybody loves the double episodes of course

Michael doesn't but whatever Yeah, you'll deal

We got four cartoons today. We got picture this

along with nerdy dancing and then we've got what's

after that we got Atlantis and What it do what

it do what do it do what do it do and Atlantis

So we're gonna get right into it Coming up next

picture this Hello boys, I thought I heard a

noise out here Say there was something pretty

peculiar going on here now Don't tell me you've

turned the entire garage upside down now. Why

on earth would you do that? We're searching for

Ferb's favorite skateboard Dear are you aware

the boys have turned the garage upside down looking

for Ferb's skateboard? Right oh, oh just a minute

Does that skateboard have a Union Jack on the

bottom? That's the one. Turn the thing the right

side up and come in the house. I believe I've

solved your mystery. You heard him, Ferb. Let's

turn it over. So what do you got, Pop? Take a

gander at what a certain old geezer posted on

his blog. Hey, it's Grandpa. Ferb, he must have

left your skateboard in England the last time

we were there. I know. We could create a highly

intricate and sophisticated machine that will

transport any object from anywhere on the globe

to our backyard. Well, why don't you just build

a new skateboard? Nah, I don't think so. If it's

all the same with you, Father, we're going to

build the machine. Whoa, Mom, what's with the

get -up? I'm on my way to join Vivian Garcia

Shapiro at the Mexican Jewish Cultural Fair today.

Would you like to come along? Let me think. Um,

no. I will. Suit yourself, Boobaliza. Let's give

her a trial run. Start with something small.

Check it out, Dweebs. Bet you can't shoot this

apple off my head. Hmm, not really what I meant,

but okay. But I still got my apple here, William

Chow. Nice buzz cut. High and tight. Hey, it

worked. Now let's try it on something more complex.

I'm complex? Really? I'm like an onion. Whoa,

it's like there's thousands of you guys. Oops,

I forgot to install the fly filter. Better try

that again. Sorry, Buford. Are you all right?

I have a weird craving for something stinky.

He's all right. Okay, Ferb, let's get that skateboard

before Grandpa breaks his neck. Yes, it worked!

Oops. I say, that's peculiar. My blooming feet

have gone missing. I can breathe again. I smell

lupines. Better send his feet back. Alright folks

picture this and nerdy dancing all at once here

we got the two plots for these episodes for picture

this Ferb accidentally leaves his skateboard

with grandpa and grandma Fletcher and he and

Phineas invent a transporter to retrieve any

object. Candice, of course, figures out she can

transport Mom there to bust them because that

would mean Mom is literally in their project.

Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz tries to rid the

world of mimes by trapping them in an invisible

box. In an actual invisible box. You know, I

think Dr. Doofenshmirtz... I think Heinz was

watching a lot of Animaniacs reruns, because

all I can think of with this plot is, it's mime

time, that's all I can think of, is the mime

time skits from Animaniacs. Step one, cut a hole

in the box. Step two, put a mime in the box.

So yeah, I didn't really like this episode. Really?

I don't know, it didn't do much for me. You know,

some interesting things did come out, though,

like the Mexican -Jewish cultural fair. Yeah.

I thought that was kind of cool. These are two

ethnicities that you don't see mixed up all that

often. I'm sure there's people out there that

are like, wow, I identify with this. I'm sure

they're few and far between. Yeah, very few and

far between. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, like Dreidel

Roka. Oh, that's just bad, dude. Jewish guys

with tequila on their heads. It just doesn't

seem like a common occurrence to me. Not nearly

common enough. So instead of teala, tequila,

it would be one tequila, or I don't know. One

tequila, two tequila, three tequila, four. Right,

yeah. They had a whole montage at the festival

that I found humorous. Yeah, that was funny.

I'm like, you really made a song out of this?

This festival? That was interesting. He says,

oi caramba. Hey. I know. You leave the turtle's

references alone, dammit. It's oi caramba. Oh,

wouldn't that be a Bart Simpson? Oi caramba.

oh yeah i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i You can't

have a teleporter, right, without a reference

to the fly. Okay. That's just how it is, you

know? Well, they had that. I didn't see that.

Are you kidding me? Oh! You missed it? Really?

When they go to teleport Buford, the first time...

Uh... He comes back and he comes back as a as

a fit as a fly head It's him, but his head is

that he's got bug eyes and he goes oh you guys

There's so many of you guys and finish goes oops.

I have you guys and Phineas goes oops. I forgot

to put in the fly filter Okay, all right wait.

I Misread that what I meant to say was you can't

have a teleporter without a fly reference Because

it happened Okay, um... I'm just reading my notes,

man. It's been a while since I saw this episode.

Wow. You know, you're supposed to watch it right

before you... I watched the other two, but we

split them up, that's why. Anyway. Moving right

along. I mean, I know you're not too big on this

episode, but I love the idea of a, you know...

a photo transporter basically you take a picture

of anything and you can just bring that one thing

to you I'd bring that be more like a replicator

no it's not a replicator because it's transporting

that thing or that person or that object well

but is it really is it not disintegrating and

then reintegrating it in a different location

which in essence is destroying it once and then

recreating it somewhere else technically the

minute the minute you walk into a teleporter

you die so then you come back to life somewhere

else so that's how mr. Spock went up to heaven

then oops too early I want the enterprise I want

the enterprise no bloody a B C or D right So...

That's right. So the Miminator. The Miminator.

I saw the Miminator, and I was wondering what

the scarf and the beret were for. Was it a raspberry

beret? It was the kind you find in the second

-hand store. Exactly! Uh -huh. That one. Yeah.

But the definition of evil here being mimes in

invisible boxes. This is possibly the first time

doofenshmirtz has actually been evil in a long

time well he The guy was making service to the

evil right? Yeah, well the guy was making fun

of him Yeah, he had a comment The mimes man they

all had it coming, but it's still evil So wait

so we have racism against other races, what would

it be for mimes would it be mime ism Is there

a race of mimes? I don't know As far as I know

mime isn't a race. It's just a very very very

poor career choice. Yeah, you think So here's

a weird twist instead of the boys invention disappearing

the inator disappears right and the self -destruct

takes out Both devices. Yeah Yeah, that's what

happened I'm just stating a fact. No humorous

anecdote, this is just what happened. Yeah, I'm

just waiting for the punchline over here, folks.

Sometimes Michael's punchline's hurt. I punch

hard. It the thing of it is is we always talk

about it We've talked about this for the whole

first season and and you know to this point in

this in the second season here How the a story

and the B source story? Fishtailing to each other

right and this is the way that it fishtailed

you had Perry hitting the self -destruct button

you had the photo transporter somehow getting

a oh Perry had a photo of the thing because Major

monogram gave it to him. It somehow ended up

in the photo transporter which brought the the

inator to the boys and then because the self

-destruct button had already been pressed that's

poof that's how you get rid of everything so

it it's kind of a fishy wobbling fishtail i don't

know it it didn't uh kind of a fishtail on its

head yeah it didn't really swerve right but in

the end i don't mind it because it still worked

yeah it's like a fishtail that zigged when it

should have zagged Yeah, exactly, because even

Doofenshmirtz says something about, oh, well,

that's just great. When it disappears. Or something.

So, yeah, my favorite part of this episode was

at the end with the butt rap. Butt, butt, butt,

butt. Butt, butt, butt, butt. Oh, no. And there's

no candy in me. Yeah, that's the best part of

the whole episode. Nerd ain't no piñata. There's

no candy in me. Oh, that was funny. That was

the highlight of the episode. Yes, it was. Buford

and Valjeet really stole the episode with that.

Yeah. That was awesome. That was a great line.

You know, it's like, at the end of the episode,

someone's saying, man, we got to put something

on the end to really bring this episode together

so people will actually plan to watch it again

sometime. But since I don't, I'm going to have

to give this one a solid two. Really? Yeah. I

don't know. It's below par. I would have given

it, I probably would have given it a one and

a half if it weren't for Mexican Jewish girls

and the program. Nerd ain't no pinata. Nerd ain't

no pinata. I'm gonna give it a tattoo. I'll have

a band, you can name that. Nerd ain't no pinata.

Oh god. i'm gonna give it a three -and -a -half

i really enjoyed it uh... yes you enjoy about

this issue three -and -a -half well it it's it's

average i was not in this well even as i had

been in this it would have been a four -and -a

-half uh... okay i mean here's the thing you

get like you said, you got the song, you got

all that stuff, you got the mime thing, and again,

for me the mime thing, I'm like, oh hey, it's

an Animaniacs reference, even though it's probably

not, but that's what I got out of the whole mime

plot. That's what it'll say in the wiki. I don't

know, I'm not looking at it right now. Stretch,

wiki stretch. Oh, there's that reference. Are

you quite done yet? What have I told you? What

have I told you the last 41 days? You leave the

Phineas and Ferb Wikia alone. Regularwikipedia

.org, fine. They stretch a bit for their references,

you know? Those people over at the Phineas and

Ferb Wikia, they do a lot of good, hard work,

dammit. I'm sure they do. That's what she said.

Yeah. But three and a half, like I said, it's

average on the point of being good and what put

it at that half point for me was the, you know...

The rap at the end with the nerd ain't no piñata.

That's awesome. I could hear Buford say that

over and over and over again and not, you know,

and not get tired of laughing at it. Because

it's just something like, okay, so you're watching

that song and, okay, so Valgy's sitting there

rapping and he's got the back beat and everything

else and the last thing you're expecting is Buford

Van Stomp to come in at the end, nerd ain't no

piñata. This is the last thing you're expecting.

It's almost like they're all in a room, kind

of doing a group voice session, and he just stepped

in and said, nerd ain't no pinata. And they're

like, all right, we're keeping it. We're keeping

it. We'll fix it in the editing. Fix it in post.

That's right. We also had Phineas and Ferb's

Dancing with the Stars. I'm sorry. Nerdy dancing,

yes. Nerdy dancing. Basically a combination of

dirty dancing and ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

Essentially. Dancing with the Stars? I thought

it was more like Soul Train. No. You don't have

to dance until they can't dance anymore? Yeah.

Well okay, well yeah, but... Okay, I see your

point, but at the same time it's like Dancing

with the Stars has been on a hell of a lot more

recently and a hell of a lot longer at this point

than Soul Train ever was. I see you read the

wiki. No, I'm not even looking at stretch. How

is that a stretch? How is referencing Dancing

with the Stars a stretch for this? Because they're

still dancing. They still have to come up with

great dance moves to win the competition. That's

what everybody at Dancing with the Stars has

done for the last 15 frigging years. It's been

15 years, really? Yeah. They're 15 at seasons?

I think so, yeah. I don't watch this show, so...

I've never been a fan. And the fact is that the

only reason I know what Soul Train is is because

it used to come on after Saturday Morning Cartoons

when I was little. Oh lord. Yeah. I was always

aggravated. That's when you know the cartoons

were over. Yeah. The Soul Train would come on.

SOOOOOOL TRAIN! And I was like, ah crap. So anyway,

moving right along. Yes. Let's all dance until

we're sick. Yes. Let's do that then. It's all

dance until we're sick. Uh, no, it's good dance

contest. No, what? No, go ahead. It's got um,

you're gonna say that's no Uh, but um, hmm It

uh, it's had a hell of a lot more than 15 seasons.

It's had 23 seasons Wow, and i've never seen

it. Uh, apparently not holy cow. Well, I got

too much sci -fi to watch that tv man. I can't

yeah take a watch of people getting too much

cv too much anacondas and sharks and nato's and

whatever else absolutely as yet uh... so can

this invites jeremy uh... to enter the dance

contest uh... we're all gonna dance towards it

and jerry's help yet goes to face inferred and

apparently for this you know eight world champion

dancer they didn't create this animatronic uh...

skeleton Tron Ferb. Yeah, Tron. Wouldn't that

be Fron? No, it's Tron. He's got a Tron jumpsuit.

Right, but I'm saying that wouldn't that be Fron?

Ferb and Tron? Fron? I don't know. No, it's Tron

Ferb. Tron Ferb, okay. Ferb Tron. The Ferb Tron

6500. You know, a Ferb can moonwalk up a tree.

Yes, yes he can. You know, if anyone's gonna

teach you how to dance, it's gotta be Ferb. Yeah.

Ferb can moonwalk better than Michael Jackson.

Oops. Oops. Well, that's not too soon. That's

been a few years. We're okay. Yeah, that's true.

We're good. So, another good thing about this

episode... Yes? Norm! Norm, that's right! I think

we made too much potato salad, Norm. I guess

we'll have to give everyone a two -ton take -home

container. And I still think you should have

added more green onions. Well, next time, you

can do all the cooking, and I'll stand around

coming up with evil plans that ultimately fail.

Wow. Cuttin' deep, man. Well, I'm off to our

annual Evil Potluck and Press Conference. I'll

just leave you here to, you know, meet your doom.

Look, I saw this in a movie once. I didn't catch

the ending, because I had other things to do,

but it seemed pretty foolproof. Well, Katarana

can't be in two places at the same time, but

of course, soon you'll be able to. Norm, let's

go. Would it kill you to say please once in a

while? You're going to be like this all day.

Yes, yes I am. We're so going to win this thing,

Jeremy. by the judges. If your light goes out,

your time is up. Now let the dancing begin. Ready?

All right, Heinz. Where's the press? Patience,

Dr. Blood -Pudding. They'll be here. When have

I ever let you guys down? Far too often, doof

and schmerz. Far too often. Rodney, I don't remember

inviting you. I told you. I prefer you use my

full name. Alois Ever Hard Elizabeth Otto Wolf

Gang Hypatia Gunther Galen Gary Koopa Von Rodenstein

Anyway today is the day we reveal to the tri

-state area the existence of the League of Villainous

Evildoers Maniacally United for frightening investments

in naughtiness. You want us to be called love

muffin? Oh good grief it doesn't ma - No matter

what we're called, what's important is that we

get our evil message out to the people of the

tri -state area! How are we going to do that,

with no TV cameras or no press of any kind? They'll

be here, they'll be here. Clearly the buffet

alone will bring them. Yummy, yummy potato salad!

And we do seem to have a surplus of that. Did

you expect everyone to lug home two ton take

-home bags? No. Yes! Shut it, Norm. Whose side

are you on, anyway? That means this episode gets

an automatic five. Well, no, not necessarily.

Oh, come on! It's got Norm! It's got Norm but

no Vanessa, so, you know, it can't be all things

to all people. I like Norm. I like Norm a lot.

He says, next time you can do the cooking and

I'll come up with the evil plans that ultimately

fail. That made me laugh so hard. He's like,

oh Norm, you kept me deep. What did you expect

Heinz for everyone to take a two ton take -home

bag of potato salad? Yes. Yes, he did shut it

norm You know, it's funny is that you would quote

that because This is the first time they've named

some of these, you know other other evil Scientists,

so yeah, dr. Blood pudding dr. Diminutive. Yep

First announcement of love muffin. Yeah, this

is the debut of love muffin I forget what the

acronym stands for offhand, but I'm sure you'll

remind me. I didn't write it down. Yeah, it's

League of Evil Doers laughing maniacally for

investments in naughtiness or something or other.

I don't remember off the top of my head. Here

we go, here we go. You sent me the link with

the picture. Yeah, Facebook saves me. Love Muffin.

League of villainous evildoers maniacally united

for frightening investments in naughtiness. How

do you invest in naughtiness? I don't know. I

just bought a thousand shares of Nazi. Then you're

not getting a visit from Santa Claus. Try getting

coal. Because I've been nothing but bad. I really

don't hate Christmas. What did he say? I'm, like,

painfully ambivalent? No, it's like, no, no,

at the end he says, I have a stiff burning indifference.

That's right. Burning indifference. I love that.

Yeah, that's awesome. Oh, next episode. Okay,

hold on. Yeah, yeah, that's Christmas Vacation's

next episode. Oh, man. Sorry. Oh, I left myself

hoarse there. Okay. Now who's doing the spit

takes? Well, my water's way over here, I need

some water now. So, Love Muffin tries to hijack

the TV show broadcast to announce their new organization.

Oh no, and Perry proceeds to straight up murder

the evil scientist. Yeah, that's true. The things

he was doing there, I don't think they could

have lived through that. I don't I don't think

he would be a member of ALCA after doing half

the crap Perry did in this episode. Oh, man Just

straight -up murdered half these guys. I mean

they come back granted, but no, I really thought

they were gonna die Really thought they were

dead So, um, yes my other note here pay no attention

to the fur behind the curtain That's right. I

guess there's a Tron Ferb. Or a Ferb Tron. Or

a Fron. There you go. See? Frons in Hans and

Frons. I want to pump you up. I can't say Fron.

That Dr. Doofenshmirtz, he's a girly man. That's

right. I miss Hans and Frons. That goes way back

to like the 90s. Yep. Hans and Franz and fire

marshal bill were two of the best comedy skits

between SNL and in living color. Let me tell

you something. Oh That wasn't living color. Wasn't

it? Yeah for fun mad TV, but no fire marshal

bill was a living color. That's right Okay, mad

TV had Phil Lamar though. So the UBS man. Yeah

Phil Lamar he's a genius. He is very much so

Okay, anyway, um, what are we talking about?

I have no clue. Oh, Ferb, Ferb. He says, well,

my work here is done. And then he kinda, moonwalks

off the stage. Yeah, he dances away. Dances away

into the, into the, I was gonna say sunset, but

not really. No, that's all I can think of is,

from the, uh, from the animation studio episode,

Mom, the animation studio got up and danced away.

It what? It got up and danced away. It got up

and danced away. See, it sounds crazy even when

you say it. That's all I can think of for dancing

is the animation studio getting up and dancing

away. And Doofenshmirtz says, let's all dance

until we're in intensive care. Yeah. So I enjoyed

this one more than the last one. I gave it a

three. All right. All right. I I gave it a four

and a half the only thing it's missing is Vanessa

because it's norm There is no norm helps it a

certain amount love muffin You know first parents

of love muffin you gotta love that That's it.

You know, that's a joke that they've been was

waiting to pull out of the hat for a long. Oh,

absolutely Yeah, yeah, they're like, okay this

episode. Can we do it this time? Okay, good In

some of these names, I'm sure they knew Mean

because these characters have been shown before

they just hadn't had names and they didn't I

think they had names I just don't think we knew

what their names were. Yeah Yeah, I'm sure there's

a Bible. It's like like oh What's that kid's

name like Jekyll or something? You know, he had

a backstory somewhere What was that kid whose

dad was the artist who did the Painted Mountains?

Oh Django Really? Okay. Well, you saw him before,

but he didn't have a name until that episode,

so I'm sure somebody knew his name. Yeah. Or

that someone really liked the Prequels or something.

Decided that that's what they were gonna name

him. At the last second. Stupid Fets. I know.

He just got his head cut right off. Yeah, he

just got his head cut right off and then, you

know, years and years later his son got eaten

by a Sarlacc. I don't care what - Okay, I'm getting

off topic here, but I was gonna say I expected

to have like You know that the scene at the at

the end of Friday the 13th part 2 where you've

got you know Jason's Hut right, you know and

and his dilapidated shack and in in in the corner

there. There's a Shrine to his mother with her

sweater and her decapitated head kind of expected

to seek something like that from fat way out

of topic i think that's a little too hard -core

for the disney fan base now sorry yeah that's

right and the uh... the mouse bought the but

the sith lord out because let's face it lucas

was sith lord there's nothing that he screams

evil like a hand solo stepping on job of the

hutt's tail we didn't even know the guy had a

tail until a reshoot What? He had a tail? We

didn't know that in the original cut. We did

not know that. Oh, no, there was no Jabba. The

only time Jabba was mentioned was by Greedo,

and he mentioned it in his own language. So it

was like, rrrr, rrrr, Jabba, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr,

rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr,

rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr,

rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr,

rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr,

rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrr We'll be back after this.

Many believe that in the 1950s, a UFO crash landed

in Roswell, New Mexico. But the scientists had

no idea what the advanced technology was or how

it worked. To find out, they used a process called

reverse engineering. By closely examining the

individual parts, they were able to build their

own craft and figure out what it does and how

it does what it does. Way to go, reverse engineering!

The reverse engineering craze reached its zenith

in 1982 when the New Way band Zanzibar released

their smash reverse engineering related hit,

What Do It Do? Cool! Hey, where's Barry? Hey

Carl, where's HMP? Oh, he came in early today,

sir. He did? Huh. Well, good for him. Well, I

guess we're done. I'm going home. Me too? No,

not you. My new jet rocket skiff has more hidden

traps than... What's something with a lot of

hidden traps? Wow, I felt so confident going

into that sentence. Man, okay. Anyway, you might

be wondering why I got such an early start on

my evil scheme today. You see, my dating life

has been a seemingly endless series of disappointments.

And it all started at a drive -in movie. That's

wings, you turkey. Okay, the coast is clear.

You can come out now. Ew, it's grody back here.

Well, on the bright side, you got in for free,

so we'll just split the cost of my ticket, right?

Right? You know, I could have gotten in the trunk,

like, a block away instead of when you first

picked me up at my house. Wow, you just love

to live in the past, huh? Is that like a thing

with you? Whatever. Let's just try to enjoy the

rest of the evening. I am a happy robot, likey

what I hear. I'm just kidding. That's a thing

I do. Come on, hop in. You were listening to

That's Wings You Turkey by King of Loud. And

here's a new one from Zanzibar. What Do It Do?

Oh, turn it up. I love this song. It's OK. I'd

say it's in my top seven, eight favorite songs

about reverse engineering. Makes me want to be

a pop star. Yeah, right. And I'm going to rule

the world. Well. Why not? Yeah, like, I can do

that. Maybe instead of, you know, the whole world,

uh, start small with the tri -state area. Hey,

the movie's starting. You have to put the speaker

thing on the car. No, no, no, no. Check this

out. I built this awesome device that transmits

the movie's sound in fifth -dimensional stereo.

I just plug this in here, and voila. I am a clever

robot. Bing -bong, bing -bong. So can we hold

hands now? Take me home. Fine, get in the bag.

And I never saw her again. Oddly enough, she

did become a pop star later. I'm still struggling

with the whole tri -state dairy thing, but you

know, the dream is alive. Up next, and finally

today we got the last two episodes. We got What

Do It Do? and Atlantis. So for What Do It Do?

Doofenshmirtz's latest invention lands in the

front yard of the Flynn Fletcher household. Phineas

and Ferb, Candace and Linda try to find out what

it does. When Lawrence won't believe Linda about

the invention, Candace decides to use him in

a way to show Linda, Phineas, and Ferb's reverse

engineered creation. Dun dun dun. So this episode

has one major plot point in it that um... kind

of shocked a lot of people i would assume the

fact that uh... doctor even starts from the date

with lindana so before she was lindana i mean

it's funny because the quote was she said something

like uh... that makes me want to be a pop star

and he's like uh... what she said the conversation

somehow turned toward uh... not taking over the

world, but just taking over the Tri -State area.

Yeah, she gave him the idea to take over the

Tri -State area. And this is why a lot of Phineas

and Ferb conspiracy theorists out there believe

that if we had never seen that one date, this

is why a lot of Phineas and Ferb conspiracy theorists

believe that Phineas is actually Dr. Dufrin Schmerz's

kid. That's so wrong. So terrible cuz like seriously

they never and when we've never really brought

this up and I'm glad we didn't until now But

really seriously they never bring up at all who?

Israel fine Candice and Phineas his real father

is they just say that it's it's it's Florence,

but it's obviously not seeing is how they did

a Brady Bunch type of thing there, right? Right.

Oh my god. I just Right before this episode right

before we recorded this. I just watched because

they just added The Brady Bunch to Hulu, because

of Florence Henderson's passing. May she rest

in peace. So they added the entire Brady Bunch

series to Hulu. I just watched the first episode

in God knows how long. Oh my God. What? That

show. What was wrong with it? There's nothing

wrong with it, but it's just not what I remember.

I do not remember the first episode being their

wedding. I thought they were already married

when the series started. Don't think I've ever

seen the first episode. Well, it's on Hulu plus

anyway so Doofenshmirtz wants to create an anti

-romance rocket What is this thing supposed to

do Romance you know, it's funny. It's anti, you

know what when I think of romance I think of

giant mechanical phalluses And what could be

more anti -romance than a giant mechanical phallus

with a huge claw? Yeah, that can turn into a

fist. It could make a fist, or it could cut things.

It's like, what do you think this is? Well, obviously,

it's a giant clawed phallus. And it's got one

eye. I've named him One -Eyed Willy. In this

episode we had Close to yeah, we had six songs

We had the my undead mummy Instrumental we had

the That's wings you turkey What do it do? Crunk

for hire which was an instrumental and bust them

beat them frenzy And then funky romance funky

robot romance many songs i mean what would you

know i'm not sure that passes for a song it was

i guess it does it was it was a very good song

no it wasn't uh... sear what do it do uh... is

the song by the new wave band zenzibar! hey wait

that's a billy jill song um... you know that

this is a shocking idea here i'm gonna go on

a limb here uh... The boys watch the show about

reverse engineering of a crashed Roswell spaceship

from the 50s, right? So The show starts with

some people believe you know, but then it goes

on to describe This is what reverse engineering

is about and this is the things they've created

with reverse engineering from alien technology

and the question becomes Do Phineas and Ferb

live in a universe where? where reverse engineered

alien technology exists I Mean if so then their

talents aren't really that unexplainable Yeah,

that's when we start talking about a device that

can fuse wood and metal together at the molecular

level Oh, we can't find that except in the future.

Well. No you probably could find that there Makes

you go well, and that's that's very true Another

thing that made me go, huh, is the fact that...

Dad, what's dad's name? Lawrence. So Lawrence

is a masterful builder as well. He builds these

fantastic contraptions. So he's got a birdhouse

where you push a button and it turns into a five

-story condo or something. And the birds just

don't give a crap. The birds are like, you know

what, I just need a place to poop. Yep. That's

all I need. I need bird seed. I need a place

to poop. They don't really care. But the fact

is, you push a button and it turns into a birdie

condo. I mean, imagine what he could do if he

actually sat down and said, hey, I think I'm

going to build, I don't know, a giant roller

coaster. With that alien technology, it would

be pretty sweet. love I love Ferb's line in this

where it starts out with Isabella I wonder what

would make someone want to build something to

destroy romance in the first place and Ferb says

well if you reverse engineer the human heart

you're bound to find love at its core Buford

chimes in and says and gross mushy red stuff

yes love and gross mushy red stuff gross mushy

And then Irving's here, and Ventricles. Actually,

I think Ventricles is already included in gross,

mushy red stuff. I forgot Irving was here. I

gotta mark this one down because Irving's in

it. Oh no. Oh, you don't like Irving? Come on!

Oh, I hate Irving. You know what? I'm gonna give

you a direct reason why I don't like Irving in

the next episode. But for right now, we'll just

go on as if he doesn't exist. No, no Did you

notice the evil jingle this time which one what

the doofenshmirtz evil jingle? Did you notice

what they said this time no it didn't tell me

doofenshmirtz rocket -powered jet skiff. Oh,

yeah, okay? That's right, it has the rocket powered

jet skiff, it has all the traps. It has more

traps than a... Oh crap, I don't know. Something

that has more traps than something. It's a golf

course. A golf course has a lot of traps in it.

I laughed so hard. I thought that was the funniest

damn thing. I had to think about it, like, what

do you mean this guy had a lot of... Oh, and

then I laughed. It was really, really funny.

Yeah, because he goes and says see Perry the

platypus my new jet rocket skiff has more hidden

traps than snaps fingers What's something a lot

of hidden traps Wow, I felt so confident going

into that sentence You know honestly this particular

line there's a few earlier lines almost seems

like they're ad -libbing They're just throwing

stuff out there and seeing what sticks That was

really funny So so mom mom was at home and she's

calling Lawrence and saying there's this thing

out in the front yard That's freaking me out

and Lawrence immediately assumes. It's his birdhouse

He says don't touch the red button, you know,

and then there's this giant metal phallus in

the front yard with the giant red button on it

that sounds really bad that you're not supposed

to touch yeah I'm just waiting for the Little

Mermaid to come into this plot folks the Little

Mermaid because of the DVD or the VHS cover oh

with the phallic shaped castle yeah that you

know what like the wiki that's a big stretch

hey no it's not it you you keep saying phallic

so you know that's not a stretch at all and that

isn't a wiki stretch that was something I said

thank you very much that was an original thought

from me this is a recurring joke I understand

yes okay did you recognize the x -men reference

which one okay so So the giant metal phallus

is sorting out the children and he gets this

big X stamper and starts stamping them on the

forehead. And I was like, I hear by WX man. You're

all mutants now. It made me giggle. I don't know.

Anyway. This is another one of my favorite quotes.

Linda, I love you. But you couldn't have chosen

a worse moment to go completely bonkers. Yeah.

I gotta use that on my wife at some point. She'll

kill you, dude. Don't even try. I know. Oh, it'll

be so worth it. Occasionally, she goes completely

bonkers. And yeah, this line will come in handy.

And she does. She goes completely nuts. She actually

goes and kidnaps him from his symposium. Well,

that's because Candice tells her, you know, what

happens mom after a couple of calls I go get

you Because it's basis this whole plot with Candice

and mom and everything. It's basically a reverse

of what Candice normally does Exactly. We're

taking our normal trope and we're turning it

on his head And I like that. It makes it interesting.

Yeah, exactly And we have new lore that we've

never talked about like the whisker Shire spring

stick That's used specifically the spring traps

Is that a joke on a Worcestershire sauce I I

don't know it's actually I think it's a whisker

Shire because the guy wears the giant rat suit

with whiskers The Shire of whiskers well they

say what they say whisker Shire or whisker shear

so and I've always known being from Massachusetts

anyone saying Worcester or Worcestershire you

know uh... just uh... yeah i don't know how to

pronounce it either we just call it horsey sauce

right you don't want a horse jizz on my burger

alright well now we've gone blue yes blue light

special here on the phineas and furbship i'm

going to turn this back around i'm going to turn

this back around Perry uses the Whiskershire

Springstick to defuse the golf course. Yeah,

he does. Because what else has a lot of traps

in it? A golf course. He uses it to defuse the

golf course. If I gotta explain the joke, it's

not funny. No, I got it, I got it. Oh, irony.

Two anti -Romance robots falling in love. That's

what I call ironing. Ironing. No. Buford, he

says. That's what I call ironing. He said ironing,

not irony. Ironing. Oh, ironing? No, Buford.

Okay, so two anti -romance rockets finding romance.

That's what I call ironing. He said ironing.

He did not say irony. I was almost positive he

said irony. I don't think so. You know. Maybe

your hearing's better than mine. I'm not sure.

You're younger. Better hearing. Oh, please. I'm

not that much younger than you I'm only seven

years younger than you. I'm still old. Oh, seriously.

I'm sorry. I had like ten years on you. Oh hell

No, I was not born 83. This was a how that track

is transformers So I'm gonna give this one a

four because it was a lot of fun. I Enjoyed it.

I liked I liked the rocket -powered skiff I liked

I liked the fact that that Caroline Ray is stuck

in the the position that that Candice is normally

in Linda could not remember mom's name Linda

was stuck in the same position that she's in

the the recognition dawning on her it's just

like oh I see now and yet You go another episode

in and well, maybe not another episode but and

yet going forward She completely forgets what

she's learned here. Yeah, it's well because they

have to stick to formula Yeah, I mean I get it

and but at the same you got to stick to the trope

But at the same time I like the way that they

subverted the trope for this episode Absolutely.

Yeah, so for Yeah, this one for me is also a

four. I really did enjoy it. I thought it was

great I still think that there's more to this

whole Linda Doofenshmirtz Even though they only

went on one date Yeah, it's grody back here.

Well, you got to think what? What is the shape

of doofenshmirtz his head versus the shape of

Phineas's head? They're both kind of triangle

ish. I'm trying to leave huh? Yeah. Yeah, yeah,

see see I don't want to think too hard about

this. I know, right? Alright, let's head to Atlantis

so we can find the Titanic. And the Tomb of Poseidon.

Apparently. There's a lot of those down there.

Yes, there is. They sell them as tchotchkes.

Awesome. at the beach. Nothing but the waves,

the sun, and peace and quiet. You can drink all

the sunscreen! Coconut's my favorite flavor!

Who wants to play volleyball? I spoke too soon.

Oh, Candace, look. There's a sandcastle building

contest over there. You used to love those. You

should sign up. Yeah! Wait. Why bother? With

these two here, there'll be no competition. They'll

build a real skyscraper out of sand with a working

elevator and window washers and a parking garage

with flying cars. They'll totally steal my thunder.

Actually, there's something else we may be doing

today. With a minimal amount of research, Ferbs

found out that the lost city of Atlantis is probably

located right off the coast of Danville. Ooh!

I hope to finally see a real, live seahorse and

get my underwater equestrian patch. I'd like

to see a shark. I hear it in a toughish fish

in the ocean. I got in the car when your mom

stopped for gas. I'm just happy to be here. Wow.

Ooh, and I brought my camera to take pictures

of all the action. Guess we know what we're doing

today. Hey. Where's Perry? Thank you. Thank you

very much. Ah, Agent P. Dr. Doofenshmirtz has

been to every plant nursery in town buying up

little seedlings, and now he's out and about

in his blimp. Find out what he's up to. Carl?

Oh, sir? Are those my old mustache clippings?

Some of them? Sorry you had to see that, Agent

P. Please find out what Doofenshmirtz is up to.

Hey, Mom. We're gonna go find the lost city of

Atlantis. Be back later. What imaginations. Mom!

Ooh, they're leaving! So during a trip to the

beach, Phineas and Ferb and Isabella, Buford,

Baljeet, and Irving try to find the lost city

of Atlantis, which is located in the bottom of

the ocean. Then, of course, Candice and Linda

enter a sandcastle building contest, which is

judged by Jeremy. Meanwhile, Dr. Doofenshmirtz

creates an army of plants. An army? Yeah. That's

right. Feed me! Feed me Seymour! Feed me! God,

I remember seeing a version of that play. The

play or the movie? The play. Oh, okay, that must

be why you have the voice completely wrong. That's

right, boy! No, it's the name of the They're

the voice of the plant in the movie. You've seen

the movie, right? Yes, I've seen the movie Rick

Moranis and Steve Martin and yes All right, so

this one I found this one to be quite lackluster

compared to the last one I enjoyed this, but...

Can we just get into the Irving bashing right

now? I'm gonna jump into the Irving bashing.

Alright, so here's Irving. Irving's at the beach.

Everyone else is at the beach because they're

all friends and they enjoy each other's company.

Right. Irving's at the beach because he jumped

into his... their mom's car at the gas station.

Yeah. Not only did he... Invite himself when

he when nobody really knew he was even there.

I mean, honestly, did he jump in the trunk? What

the hell? But he brought his camera Yeah, how

creepy is that? Irving's pretty creepy just wait

until he gets the upper feds Here's more Irving

hate, okay, so Irving has his camera. He takes

to Atlantis with him, but it gets eaten. Yep

Alright serves him right for being a creep creeper.

Okay, his cameras gone and Phineas says you can

use the camera in your mind Alright, cool. So

he gives it a shot Really creepy really creepy.

He's like framing it with his fingers and clicking

Really weird and then at the end what what does

he say? What does this ass say? He says This

is why I hate her being he says all my thumb

was in the frame That thumb was on the lens.

Now all I'll remember is my thumb. I'm just like,

you know what? Go straight to hell, Irving. Honestly,

whoever's responsible for the Irving jokes, they

need to rethink their career. They need to go

home and seriously think about what they've done

with their lives. Irving, go straight to hell.

Do not collect $200. That's right. You know what,

honestly, this is how we do the Irving test,

right? If you pull all of the Irving scenes out

of this episode, it's five minutes shorter, but

it doesn't hurt the episode. In fact, I might

have even bumped it up one number. Oh, wow. Uh

-huh. So some of the illusions in this, obviously,

Atlantis. Atlantis. You got Irving's ability

to take pictures with his mind by saying click

is like that of Cam Jansen. uh... you can briefly

hear the titanic theme is facing for isabella

buford in belgium enter the water uh... by the

atlantic so was was just funny because they walk

by but they walk like uh... the titanic which

should be there uh... they walk by the tomb of

Poseidon which is not only there but there's

another one of the atlantis did you see the one

in atlantis there's probably more probably yes

Yeah. They're like highway markers underwater.

And then there's Atlantis, and there's all these

things that you would probably see in an ocean,

which I didn't think the Tri -State area had

next to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the Tri -State

area is pretty much any state that they want

it to be. It could be California. It could be

New York. It could be whatever, as long as whatever

they needed to make it work. So we have a SpongeBob

illusion here. During the song Atlantis Yeah,

during the song Atlantis Ferb is shown drinking

tea from his helmet like Spongebob and Patrick

do in the episode tea at the tree dome Alright,

which came first? I don't know. I'm not looking

it up that far There's a Frank Lloyd wrong reference

that was funny Candice calls herself Frank Lloyd

wrong Now even this I think is a stretch so this

is one thing and as much as I love the people

at the finance and firm wiki There's a samurai

Jack reference in here apparently agent peas

chainsaw battle against the mutated plants mimics

the chainsaw style seen Commonly in in samurai

Jack according to the wiki Wow Pardon my reach

Yeah, I don't know if I'd buy that I like samurai

Jack I'm not sure if I buy that Basically, you

know, every H &P fight scene is pretty much the

same. To the point where if you see other people

fighting in that same style, you'll be like,

wow, that kind of looks like they're cribbing

on H &P. Oh, this is a good little trivia bit.

What's that? This is the second time a bag of

manure was used. The first time was an Ibe robot.

And all I can think of is Biff. Manure! I hate

manure! No, no. Was it manure? Or was it potting

soil? They say manure on the wiki. Alright, because

it's funny because when he gets stuck in it,

he says, you have potting soiled yourself. Yeah,

that's true. I thought that was funny. That was

the only plant pun in this that I thought bared

repeating. Doofensmerch has a whole plant army.

The army of plants comes along with an army of

plant puns And all of them are really bad except

for that one potting soil thought that was funny

Absolutely, it was I'm trying to see here. Oh,

oh yeah, why are so warm next to Buford? Because

he's always farting is he peeing he could be

peeing Something he's doing something bodily

fluids under the water under the sea So much

warmer right nice of you for take it from me.

Oh, please stop you're giving me chills over

here. Knock it off. What the hell, dude? Thank

God, I'm not drinking any water this time Oh

lord. So, uh, Irving is voiced by Jack McBrayer.

Okay. And the next time I saw, uh, Jack McBrayer

after Phineas and Ferb, he was the amusement

park guy in Despicable Me. Uh... He was the voice

of the amusement park guy in the first Despicable

Me movie when he was like all you gotta do is

shoot the thing and of course little Agnes tries

to shoot the little spaceship but it doesn't

work and Gru's like let's try that one more time

and he uses his giant gun and the guy says anything

from the top shelf so as soon as I heard the

voice I'm like hey it's Irving! That's funny

I... Did not pick that voice out so oh I had

to absolutely had to So they find a lot of stuff

in the coast of day, but we kind of already talked

about that Candice has sandcastle skills. That's

interesting. I used to Not so much anymore until

I think everybody does when they're little and

they just assume that whatever the hell they've

built looks like a castle and then when you're

older and you realize what a castle looks like

you Discover that you're not that great at building

castles. Yeah, I Do dig I know you're not that

big a big fan of him and everything else But

I do dig the new kind of friendship dynamic that

they're setting up here with the with the addition

of Irving Okay, because each person in the in

the friendship face and firm friendship circle

adds something to The overall friendship, you

know, you got Buford and Balaji doing everything

you got Isabella doing her thing And then you

got Irving doing his thing along with Phineas

and Ferb. So are we jumping the shark here? No,

do we need a cousin Irving? You said jumping

the shark first thing I thought I was like I

don't think the Fonz had any cousins on happy

days Oh, it was cuz Oliver was on hand. I know

it was cuz it was on the Brady Bunch though not

on the happy days You said jumping the shark.

Yeah, no no you're absolutely right. Cousin Oliver

is the Brady Bunch not Happy Days. I was crossing

the streams there my bad Never cross the streams

bad shit will happen Blanchard when somebody

asks you if you're God you say yes No, I I hold

out my hand and I say, then a god am I. Bad Jim

Carrey Riddler reference from Batman Forever.

Oh no, you went there. Was that too over the

top? I can never tell. So, you went there again.

I know. So, uh, Jerry, Jerry, Jeremy. That's

his new name Jeremy Jerry Jerry Jerry. I'm Terry.

He's Jerry Wow, we're just gonna rename everybody

with airy I'm allergic to dairy And so Jeremy

is biased He's a biased opinion of Candice's

sandcastle. He's a terrible judge of sandcastles

Well to be fair a giant sandcastle that put push

up out of the ocean without them seeing it. Yeah,

her sandcastle was Atlantis, so you kind of got

to give her a little break there. You know, one

of the Greeks' biggest, you know, mysteries of

how it disappeared and all that stuff, and when

it reappears, it's like, Candice, you win, hands

down. You win, hands down. And let's face it,

compared to frigging Atlantis, look at all those

other sandcastles, they were all pitiful anyway.

They were kind of sad. She could have won with

her flopped over pile of mud. Yup. Yeah. She

was still, she was doing pretty good there. Mildly

amused with Doof's allergic reaction to the plant

armors. Curse you inadequate immune system! Oh

crap. That's, yeah, that's funny. But yeah, so

this episode had a lot of things I didn't like.

Yeah. I didn't like the Atlantis song. I just

wasn't digging the Atlanta song. It was like,

um, no, the, the, the, the jingle was set to

another song that I couldn't quite place. It

was like, yeah, you, you, you know the song,

right? I'm sure the Wiki knows the song, but

I just, for some reason I was thinking like spam

a lot, but yeah, it's like, um, anyway, uh, yeah,

I just didn't like the song. Uh, Baljeet is no

Venus. You should not be in a giant clamshell.

That was wrong. Didn't enjoy it. Venus to Milo,

he is not. Yeah. Uh, the underwater equestrian

badge. I thought that was funny. Tis you now.

Is he riding the seahorses? No, guys, if you

scoop a lot of them together, you can ride. I'm

sorry, I thought that was funny. Riding this

group of seahorses and Irving I just I don't

like Irving So so yeah, I mean the only thing

I really enjoyed in this is the You have potting

soiled yourself I'm so gonna use that next time

we're in the garden. It'll be months It'll be

months. It'll probably be about like May or something

But when we crack open the garden again, someone

is potting soiled themselves There you go, so

I'm giving to the two you know the sad thing

is I'm right there with you because Number one

no norm no Vanessa Number two we can't discount

episodes just based on the fact that there's

no normal Vanessa, but hell we can't I will dock

this one from a three down to a two because Irving's

in it Irving has his moments later. I mean, I

know he's Well, he's had a couple of moments

already, you know Really where well, yeah, he's

at least one Oh, come on now, he's had at least

one good moment when um Belgedin, you know, I

had to survive in that episode where we're like

come on fanboy you want to live forever is that

an option so Irving has had one good moment to

this point and he will have a few other moments

as the series progresses if you say so yeah but

I am also gonna give this a two it just it just

didn't really feel like a really excitable phineas

and ferb plot we've been in the ocean before

and it was more fun yeah and the whole thing

would do a plant army really well you know he

just realized that there's all these loafing

plants what do they call them do nothing plants

yeah it's a do nothing day or something like

that do nothing plants just lazy ass plants sitting

around lazy ass plants yep you put them to good

use Yep, yep, yep, absolutely All right, so Lacey

lay pants lace. I Alright folks that's gonna
