Phineas and Ferb Christmas Vacation Review

There are two other swings for our winter vacation

Before New Year's and school comes to an end

So the holiday challenge for kids of all nations

Is finding a good way to spend it Like maybe

Turning our beds into dual toboggans Or sliding

down a ski jump tower Building a snowman the

size of colossus Or giving a yeti a shower Well,

they can all be fun. Candice, honey, the snowstorm

has delayed your grandparents' plane. Your father

and I have to wait here at the airport until

they arrive. It may be hours. But I need your

help! Stacey told me that Marcus told her that

Jeremy told him that he got the perfect gift

for me! Oh, no! How will you manage? Mom, think!

If Jeremy found the perfect gift for me, then

I have to find the perfect gift for him! I thought

you already got a gift for Jeremy. I did, but

I can't show up with an obvious stupid present

that anyone could have gotten him. The perfect

gift means that you totally get the other person

in the most deep and paying attention -y way.

If his gift to me is perfect, and my gift to

him isn't, he's gonna be so hurt and insulted,

and think I'm lame, and thoughtless, and oh,

stop liking me! Oh, Pandis, honey, I don't think.

You poor thing. Forgive me, boys. What are your

brothers up to? Not a thing. Which is weird.

What are they up to? For lollygagging in bed?

That's not like you two. We've been working on

a way to seize the day while also not having

to get out of bed so early. I think we can cross

that one off our to -do list. Let me see that.

What is this? Number one was write letters to

Santa. What? Did you start this to -do list when

you're three years old? We write letters to Santa

Claus every year. Don't you? Day 43 here inside

the podcast organization without a collective

of mine, of course, Steve, you know Mike joining

me as always peek on Michael. Hello Hey, how's

it going? I'm tired You sound tired. It's time

for Christmas vacation because I'm tired and

I'm not putting 25 million twinkle lights on

a house Cost too much. Well, you know what? He

knows when you're sleeping and he knows when

you're awake so Don't go to sleep yeah and and

he knows to use kryptonite on us too so use kryptonite

for goodness sake that's right so we're here

to talk about phineas and ferb's christmas vacation

from season two um i had the hardest time trying

to find the extended version of this damn thing

The extended version? Yes, there's like multiple

versions of this. There's the broadcast version

that they first broadcast that was supposed to

be the full version, and then there was cut versions

for time and whatever else, and yeah. Interesting.

the extended version there's a few differences

and things like that but uh... the big differences

is uh... the the song uh... what does he want

the ones candice sings is not in the other versions

they cut that out of the other versions uh...

i guess i saw the two full version but the one

i watched was on two nights okay uh... that's

something that's the one i found too yeah i mean

that that's my go -to place for phineas and ferb

so there you go yeah it worked out yeah i don't

understand why the disney deal with netflix does

not have the full version on netflix that makes

no sense to me that i was not aware disney and

netflix have some sort of deal where phineas

and ferb and all the phineas and ferb stuff is

on there and they don't have the extended version

of christmas vacation which is kind of stupid

if you think about it but unfortunate yes So

Christmas vacation, I love this. This is awesome.

It is awesome. They cover a lot of ground in

this one. Oh, yeah, this might be the best thing

outside of Chronicles of Meep. Maybe. And Meep

even shows up a little bit toward the end. Yeah,

he shows up at the very end because he got a

picture of Phineas and Ferb and Candice as a

Christmas present. But yeah, no this one basically

Doofenshmirtz is a Intense burning indifference

towards Christmas, and he just wants the only

thing he wants for Christmas is to be able to

hate it Because he hates every other holiday

Yeah, it's like having a bingo card with everything

else clicked off except for that one last square

that you Know you would win if you just had that

one last square absolutely And so he creates

the Nodionator, apparently, who he assumes that,

well, he builds the Nodionator and then he gets

some sort of Christmas, oh no, he did get it

from his uncle, supposedly his uncle Justin from

Borneo. And I'm like, when did he have an uncle

Justin? I mean, I don't think there are any timber

lakes in Danville. I think they're just making

stuff up at this point. Somewhere in Borneo.

So, to start off at the very beginning, the Christmas

themed intro. Of course. That's awesome. Absolutely.

Very rarely do they deviate from their standard

intro, but when they do, it's really cool. Instead

of a monkey, they give a Yeti a shower. There

you go. And the Yeti comes back to put the star

on top of the tree. Yeah, absolutely. It seemed

a lot bigger that time. Well, the reason why

he seemed a lot bigger that time is because they

were making the abominable snowman for Rudolph

the Red -Nosed Reindeer. Because if you watch

the classic Rudolph cartoon, when Yukon Cornelius,

the old prospector there, holds the snowman down

and Hermi, the dentist elf, rips all his teeth

out. Is it safe? I guess so. Right, so at the

end he puts a star on the tree. So we have a

little homage here. That's kind of cool. Alright,

I get it. Yep. Let's see how they start out in

bed and they have bed sleds. Man, if I had a

bed sled when I was a kid, that would have been

awesome. Didn't they have bed sleds previously?

Or it was a bed rocket or a bed something where

they didn't have to get out of bed? That was

this episode. No, no, no, I'm talking about a

different episode, an earlier episode. We've

done so many of these at this point, I don't

even know. Never mind. If it was in Season 1,

my memory of Season 1 has essentially been erased

since there's so many things to do in Season

2. There's too much going on. That's right. That's

right, I have to empty my glass before I can

refill it. Absolutely, you gotta drink all that

wine. It was a Zen koan that had nothing to do

with wine, but exactly Wait, are you trying to

sit there and say it was a white zippendale?

Yeah, it's always a Riesling or a nice Moscato

I like the line. He says Are you thinking what

I'm thinking? He hands him the blueprints and

he says no, no, that's not what I was thinking

at all, dude He's like covering his eyes like

oh my god, what the hell have you handed me?

And he reached it turns it upside down and he

goes. Oh, yeah. Okay. That's all right I just

really want it. I really want to know what was

on the paper. Yeah Oh God no, it's like, um,

what is yeah, what exactly this you know like

That's gonna have to say what the German sides

of videos look like upside down. Oh lord. He's

like, oh god, oh that's awful. I'll turn it upside

down. And, you know, this is coming from Ferb,

and Ferb has a really twisted sense of humor

at times. He's got a twist, he's a very dry British

sense of humor. Yeah. It's like he turned it

upside down and it was two girls, one cop. Like,

oh no, oh god. Oh god, no, you did not. You turn

it upside down. There's one girl in two cups

and it's like, oh, well, this is nice. This is

pleasant Yeah, that's what I was thinking So,

what did you think what do you think of the of

the poca holiday party Stop filming your butt

Carl film mine Secret Santa delivers peri a South

Tuscany DVD or CD is it a CD? Yes, it's a CD

South Tuscany and apparently Carl's a fan of

South Tuscany No, no, he's not Everybody thought

it was him that bought it. So well major monogram

thought it was him that did it And all the other

animals with hats assumed so, you know, they

were giving him the stink eye Poor carl, he gets

this short end of the stick all the damn time

He does, believe what you want to believe, I

hate you all I know Let's fight the punch with

pee Eww I'm just saying If you truly dislike

all your coworkers, that's what you do Talk about

yellow snow How do I eat the yellow snow? Carl

is starting down a path, I think, at this point

where he eventually will become evil. Don't shoot

your eye out, Carl. That's a Walking Dead reference.

No, actually that's a Christmas story reference,

thank you very much. You know, I was doubling

up there. see where i went with that oh because

carl is the one of the main characters walking

dead yeah with his eye shot out yeah uh -huh

that's not clever you're not clever i'm jumping

too far ahead i'm sorry you are we're all over

the place tonight folks but it's all over it's

merry christmas everybody yeah it's christmas

eve we're both drunk and yeah yeah so too much

eggnog grandma milly's eggnog Hey, did you write

your letter to Santa? Letters to Santa Yeah,

it can't this she just can't get her head around

writing letter to Santa you're such a little

kid That's funny Mean she wants to be a you know

an adult faster than what she is and and yet

she still takes play part in the whole Danville

for niceness thing Kind of reluctantly. Yeah.

Well, yeah kind of reluctantly, but she's like,

all right fine. Yeah do it The funny thing is,

is I was waiting for Kenny Rogers and Michael

Jackson and Tina Turner and Bruce Springsteen

and all the We Are The World people to show up

for Danville for Niceness. The whole, the whole,

uh, yeah, the montage. What do they call that

when they get all these people together? The

collaboration, the ensemble, whatever you want

to call it, I don't know. I'll buy that, yeah.

Well, Danville for Niceness is essentially Phineas

and Ferbs version of We Are The World USA for

Africa. There you go. It's true. You haven't

done that in a good 20 years, I don't think.

Oh, don't even get me started. I'm not. Never

mind. Different track. No, no, no. Let's talk

about Doof and his partridge on a parry. The

platypus. The partridge on a parry. The platypus,

yeah. That was funny, actually. Yeah, that was

very funny. I like what he did there. Yeah, and

then later the reverse it doesn't even make any

sense partridge on an evil scientist You're not

clever That's not clever That's not clever at

all So I said I was jumping too far ahead there

So we have a naughty inator. Yes. I'm so not

sure why He was you know, he wants to hate Christmas

so he wants to hate he he He causes his hatred

of Christmas by destroying Christmas? Yeah. I'm

not sure what he's going for here. I'm not sure

either. I don't understand. You know, in fact,

this might not even be considered evil for evil's

sake. You know what is evil? Completely covering

a town in tin foil. That's evil. That is some

messed up evil stuff right there. Well, yeah,

but he couldn't... The only thing that ended

up moving was the tin foil, and it turned into

a giant ball, so... Well, no, I mean, they...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no Well, you said giant tin foil alls I could

think of is the roller coaster episode the very

first episode when he wants to when do wants

to you know Reverse rotation of the earth by

pulling the eastern seaboard in a westerly direction

But he puts a giant ball of tin foil over the

city But yeah, yeah, they basically wrap the

town up in a giant present right and now think

of all the people in those buildings Thinking

that the world is coming to an end. They have

no idea This is I mean, honestly, this is probably

more evil than most of different smurfs is Season

two schemes, right? Yeah, this is some pretty

bad stuff. Yeah pretty bad stuff No wonder the

entire town was giving off a naughty vibe. Oh

wait, that was the naughty That's exactly it's

like I'm going to invoke Ghostbusters 2 here.

The entire city's just pissed off and it's causing

a negative vibe. Exactly. It's all the slime

that's underneath the city. You have no idea

what's down there. No. Wait, that's it! Ferb,

are you thinking what I'm thinking? As usual,

we're... Oh, oh! Man, no! That's not at all what

I was thinking! Oh, dude! Oh, yeah. That's it.

I'll call in the troops. You wonder where Perry

is. It gets hit by a snowplow. That's what I

thought. Hello, winter time is fun, follow me!

Snowplow! Yeah. I was like, well that was random.

And then the sad thing is, is that his carrot

rolls down one of Perry's layer entrances and

Major Monogram just sits there and eats the guy's

nose off. He says does this carrot smell funny

Yes, it smells it said it's a nose I Gotta explain

the joke. It's not funny. Yeah, it's not funny.

I got it. I got anyway anyway all right, so uh

you know Christmas carolers Managed to walk How

many flights of stairs? I don't know Usually

they just kind of walk around outside from the

house to house But here they have taken the time

out of their busy day to climb let's say 40 flights

of stairs to go carol in front of deuce store

well there is an elevator in the building uh

are there any other people living in that building

or is it just him i don't know there are other

people in the building remember the um remember

uh nosy Not not not not Lake Monster nosy the

the star -nosed mole That's what it was remember

with the the shrinkinator the demolinator the

mountain out of a mole hillinator Rays like I

really should have done this in the basement

because the thing sinks through all the floors

and as it goes down We see various people in

the building so there are other people in that

building. I thought it was just Betty white No,

I don't think so I forget her name. I mean her

character's name, but it's clearly Betty White.

Yeah, yeah. That's funny. Anyway, so we have

these carolers. Let's show up at his door. And

they demand the figgy pudding. They barge into

his house and demand dessert. Who does that?

Evil Christmas carolers, apparently. What I really

want for Christmas is the ability to hate Christmas.

Is that too much to ask? Were you expecting someone?

We wish you a Merry Christmas. We wish you a

Merry Christmas. We wish you a Merry Christmas

and a Happy New Year. Ah, yes. See, how can you

hate Christmas listening to that? Bring us figgy

pudding. You could say peas, but you're whatever.

Great. Figgy pudding. We won't go until we get

some. We won't go until we get some. So bring

some right here. What? What? Are you threatening

me? How dare you! No one barges into my home

and demands the... What sort of plan is that,

anyway? Let's go to a stranger's house and in

song form refuse to leave unless he hands over

a food dish no one's prepared since the 16th

century. Well, if that's how things are, I have

my reason to push this button. So long, Christmas!

You're Feliz Navidad to me! See, it's, uh, it

was all Spanish. Can I at least get a dive soda

and I love about that whole scene is We won't

go until we get some we won't go until we get

some it's the principle of the work That's right

This is you know, it's a principle of the thing

makes you want to keep a 55 gallon drum a figgy

pudding on hand Just in case and then you never

know And then the really creepy part about the

carolers. Okay guys, let's sing, Becky I want

you back. Oh, you've gotta get over me, Josh.

I'm just like, you gotta be kidding me. You said

it wouldn't get awkward. It got awkward. It got

awkward, yeah. It got awkward. I like the figgy

pudding though. You know, I've never had figgy

pudding. I don't know what figgy pudding tastes

like. I don't wanna know. I've never had that

I've I've managed I've been This year will be

my 36th Christmas of life I've managed in 36

years to never have figgy pudding or fruitcake

You know I have had a fruitcake just to see what

it would taste like Tastes kind of like meat

Don't know why had to spit it out obviously I'm

just getting cold chills of you telling that

story. Tasted like meat. That's pretty bad. That

fruitcake tastes like chicken. Oh, okay. Um,

last minute naughty list. This is a thing. This

is a thing that happens. Yep. You can be on the

last minute naughty list. You sit there and pull

a guy's long johns up out of his pants. Yeah,

you're gonna be on the naughty list Well, I mean

the entire town was on the last minute That's

why Santa wasn't coming So Santa refuses to come

to Danville because the entire town gets on a

last -minute naughty list Which is directly attributable

to the naughty and a tour. Yes Yeah and of course

sell tuscany christmas you cannot stop christmas

even with a naughty in a tour and he destroys

the the cd destroys the thing and major monogram

even calls perry and says do not let him play

that cd because it could destroy the world or

something i'm like um no playing the cd will

you know save everybody hello who to thunk and

you know perry spent a record amount of time

tied up in a trap Yeah, the partridge even with

the partridge helping he was still kind of stuck

Partridge yeah, we're gonna see an agent partridge

with a little hat That seems like everybody that

manages to help even the potted plant, you know

ends up with a little hat You know what I felt

bad when we feel bad here all the letters that

were sent to Santa get returned as naughty. And

Phineas, and this is all Candice, Phineas believes

that it's his fault. It's like, well, all the

stuff that we've done all summer, is that's what's

causing this? Is this my fault? And you kind

of feel a little bad for him. Yeah. Yeah. Just

a tad bit. And just a tad bit, because again,

she references the fact of, oh, what's different

compared to last Christmas and last summer? Oh,

right, you didn't do any of the stuff you've

been doing this summer. And I mean really seriously,

what is it really hurting that Phineas and Ferb

do all this awesome stuff? Did we not discuss

the mass destruction of the town? Okay, outside

of wrapping the town in a giant Christmas card,

outside of that, every other episode we've talked

about, what is the real harm of them going mini

-golfing or having the roller coaster or building

a fort? these are not like world domination schemes

here right no one has died yet yeah yeah keyword

there apparently is yet yet exactly no one has

died yet so so apparently if you're bad enough

british elves will come to danville apparently

yeah british elves will make an appearance in

your town if you're if you're that bad yeah let's

just show up Don't know what British people say

cheers mate. I don't know. What do they say when

they show up before? Before they show up there's

another elf at the North Pole trying to do the

in fact And then at the end he's like oh just

go and talk somebody Where did that come from

is that I don't know is that a play on something

cuz it I just found it annoying In fact in fact

it really bothered me that he wasn't British.

Yeah, I was like Yeah, I'm like, why isn't this

guy? I had this thing in my head. It was like

all Imperials are British and all elves are British

and you know now This weird annoying elf comes

out who's clearly not British I'm gonna go sit

in the dock and mumble to myself. He wasn't always

that way In fact, he used to love kids. In fact,

he used to be where the action is, toy making.

In fact, he was the fastest and best toy maker

of them all. In fact, they used to call him Cluent,

the fastest and best toy maker of them all, though

they just called him Cluent for short, which

also happens to be his name, so the nickname

thing was kind of a moot point. In fact... Just

go up and talk to the first person you see. That's

how you make friends. I'm never going to another

seminar. Yeah, um... Yeah. ruined it for me just

killed it all i can think of is british elfish

i i don't know they can't oh man what's his name

who played no no no no who played lego legolas

that was uh legolas legolas legolas oh legolas

who played legolas it was um i was gonna say

they all can't sound like La but I can't know

that guy. You know blank insert name here and

I can't remember his name offhand Orlando Bloom

They can all sound like Orlando Bloom moving

around a lot So the inator is destroyed by Saul

Tuscany Not by Perry oddly enough and if it would

have been up to Perry he probably wouldn't have

destroyed it because Took the CD that he wasn't

allowed to play that he was expressly told not

to play That CDs, but did it? Yeah, it's very

sad all Tuscany saved the day. Yeah, and you

know He's basically Santa Claus with him an embarrassing

left over. Why? Is he s a m t a Oh, yeah, yeah,

it does work doesn't it Yeah, that's what doofenshmirtz

says. It's like santee clause with a santee with

a Y. Yeah santee clause Everyone is on the nice

list again except for Buford except well, you

know, he usually makes last -minute save. Yeah,

he does We got to call the Pope in at the last

second to do like a like a blanket forgiveness

I love that, you know, they're like, oh, well,

we can't get Santa to do this, but, you know,

what are you going to do about it? And he's like,

you know, who, him? Yeah, you've seen his file.

You know what his file looks like. It's like,

so everything he has done is on record, you know.

And yet he's still not naughty, which is funny

because when Candice says, oh, you know who I

am? And the elf says, well, no, that's not a

good thing. That's not a good thing. That's not

a good thing. And yet they pretty well know Phineas.

So maybe Phineas is the naughty one. I don't

know. I mean, Phineas is just trying to carpe

diem the hell out of summer. So I mean, you know.

Yeah, you can't fault him for that. He wouldn't,

right? Did you notice the Apparently in a former

life verb was Schroeder from peanuts. Oh I was

gonna bring that up last Okay, that's the snoopy

play dance. Yeah at the very end credits. You

see the snoopy play dance and What's funny though

is we just recently talked about the the snoopy

Christmas special and I said You know this scene

the scene here with the kids dancing on the stage

is like the most iconic scene in the entire show

Aside from the Christmas tree slumping over right?

It's the most iconic scene because it's been

Done it's been paid homage to so many times and

so many different You know other cartoons and

even live -action, you know, it's weird to see

people in live -action trying to dance like that

But they but they do But uh, yeah to digress

I was gonna say so so Phineas is evil Clearly

on the naughty list but Because you know the

elf knows of him and that's not a good thing

But the elves go ahead and participate in building

a mobile present -making ship For it's a sled.

It's a mobile present -making sled. You're slay.

You're getting something confused here, but Cluent

says that a sleigh no no about the evil part

clinton says clinton says you know and you've

seen his file he can he can do anything he's

phineas flinn and this is like and this is my

sister kandace and and and clinton's like yes

we know all you know do you think this is kandace

and all you know and then that's includes that

it's not a good thing he was talking about kandace

not flights be i know but i don't know so i'm

still trying to conclusion you know i'm putting

the dots together here See what I'm saying? I

don't think Phineas is going to end up being

evil. Even in the second dimension. He's too

oblivious, I think. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah,

he's just... What was the term I used before?

Cheerfully oblivious? Yes. I think it was cheerfully

oblivious, yeah. So anyway, that sled... This

is what kind of threw me for a loop. In any other

continuity, right? And when I say continuity,

I mean the Santa Claus myth. Small children at

home, Santa Claus is not a myth. He's absolutely

real. But for the sake of argument, let's say

you've always got Santa Claus building the toys

in the North Pole, loading the toys into his

giant red sack, putting the red sack on the sleigh

and the sleigh flies around the world. Right

here. Here we've got a giant sleigh with a mobile

toy making and delivery unit It's like a assembly

line basically right on on this on the I only

want to call it a sleigh It's more like a ship.

It's a sleigh ship It's a slave ship. No, it's

not a good thing. Slay. Slay slash ship. Slay.

You slay me. That's right. S -L -E -I -G -H.

Slay, not slay, va. There's a huge difference

there. I'm glad that we've cleared this up. This

is important to denote. So the difference here

in this is that... Santa's route was already

mapped out, and at the time, those last minute

naughties came in, so he's skipping Danville.

So they have to figure out how they're going

to get all the toys to the children in Danville.

That's why the sleigh has all these gadgets and

computers and present building station. Right,

because they're building the toys on the fly

as they hit each house. Yep. And Ferb has a giant

toy delivery cannon. Yeah, he does. Ferb always

has a cannon. He had a cannon in F games because,

you know, the all -important fruit level. You

know, Ferb's always got cannons. He's a man of

few words and bigger guns. And then the very

last present was for Wendy, somebody or another,

and she wanted a really big hat, and the thing

got jammed, and of course, you know, this is

Belge's chance to go get kissed by a hot girl.

That's all he wanted. I don't think he planned

it that way. I think he selflessly threw himself

at this present to unjam it, and accidentally

was jettisoned into this girl's house. Yeah,

I don't think so. I think it was plenty of...

We shouldn't have such a problem. Exactly, we

should have such problems, right? I don't think

I fit down a chimney, I'm sorry. I think there

was even a fire in the chimney, so he lucked

out. No, there was no fire in the chimney. So

we're jumping the gun a little bit. Baljeet gets

to kiss a pretty girl, because that's what he

wanted. But everybody got what they wanted, and

I seem to have a little list here. Buford. which

wants to be thought of as nice by his friends.

And they do, because he's the one that pulls

the Paul Revere and rides through the streets

and alerts everybody to Santa's coming, or pseudo

Santa's coming, right? And everybody goes, way

to go, and gives him a big thumbs up. You know,

Balji just wants to kiss a girl, and in trying

to rescue a package to the pretty girl's house,

he ends up kissing a girl. He ends up just totally

like, you know, What was that victory day kiss,

you know in a big dip Doof just wants to hate

Christmas and lo and behold he ends up hating

Christmas and he's so happy Makes his whole year.

He also got some almond brittle from Perry and

he all yeah Well, he's a terrible gift giver.

So that's just gonna go on for next year's list

of naughty Finneas just wants to be like Santa

Mm -hmm, and he got his wish and Jeremy wants

a silver guitar and They didn't actually announce

that until the end. They just said no Jeremy

and she was oh, this is cool. I got this Yeah

Ferb just wants a local local boy gets harmonica

Ferb just wants a harmonica. Well, he gets two

bouncy balls in a harmonica Was that it? Yeah,

I guess he got two bouncy balls in the harmonica.

The story in the paper just says local boy gets

harmonica, but in the end of it, it shows the

two bouncy balls because they do something with

them. I forget what they do at the end. You know,

this ends up being so phallic. It's ridiculous.

They get a hoverboard and two bouncy balls. Sharp

still looks fake. Somebody has a sick sense of

humor. Sharp still looks fake. I don't care.

Anytime anybody mentions a hoverboard or a flying

car or the year 2015, that shark still looks

fake. That shark still looks fake. Linda got

a t -shirt of herself. I love the look on her

face. She's just like face -palming. That's funny

Isabella got a Santa's helper patch because she's

Jewish and Mexican and she had eight days of

dreams come true Eight days of dreams come true.

Well any day she gets to spend with Ferb is a

dream come true. You mean Phineas But do I yes

I do yeah Okay, and the Clint okay now now that

we're at the end of the review we can talk about

Clancy Brown Clancy Brown was Santa Claus. That's

right Lex Luthor was Santa Claus. What was funny

is I I'm like whose voice is that because normally

when Clancy Brown is on I say Clancy Brown this

time not so much I was like that sounds familiar

but I'm I can't quite place it you know it's

Clancy Brown doing doing Santa ho ho ho you know.

I always knew it was him very first time I saw

this I knew it was him. Did you? I didn't place

it at first. I wanted to look at the credits

to see who it was. But it was very cool to see

Clancy Brown. Yes, I guess it was. I like his

voice. He's got a cool voice. Oh. And they did

three things today. And it's funny, he didn't

actually realize it was three until the end.

Err, Phineas is like, Ferb, I know the third

thing we're going to do today. Yep. Three things

that's a busy day. What is Christmas, but it's

a double episode. It's a double episode. Yeah

That kind of I don't want to say tosses out the

the usual double episode tropes But it comes

together nicely. Well, it creates its own I think

I think in this specific episode in this, you

know, technically this is the first full -on

special episode because it's not just a regular

double episode. It's a Christmas adventure Christmas

special, you know, thing. So they're basically

creating, they're using the same old, you know,

stuff that they use for the plot devices and

things like that, but they're presenting them

in a format that works for the Christmas holiday.

And like you said, you basically have them doing

three different things. So it's three different

adventures in one day. Think of it as you and

Chrissy taking the boys to her parents' house,

your dad's house, and then some aunt or uncle

or gran - You know what I mean? It's like - So

it's like Thanksgiving. Yeah, essentially. Except,

you know, without the... Oh, what do they call

it? They call it the ultimate rest and relaxation

lounge. Except we didn't build one of those.

You can have your retire -inator in about 20

years. With a warm cat to sit on my lap. Yeah

Yeah, that's what I need So, you know, this is

funny when you look at it in retrospect you see

That this was all masterminded by Sal Tuscany

my Santa Claus. Yeah. Yeah, you know, it's like

He he it's almost like he foresaw it he knew

that Doofenshmirtz was going to do this, and

that this was going to cause this snowball to

roll this way, and this snowball to roll that

way, and these different things to happen. And

he planted the Inator self -destruct switch in

the CD that ended up anonymously given to Perry.

Right. Are you having a problem with this? No,

this is some next level manipulative stuff here,

man. Well, Santa Claus has to set things up in

a certain way. He has to have fun once in a while,

right? That's right. That's what he says at the

end, you know? I gotta be a manipulative old

guy eventually. Do it right here. So a couple

of interesting things I found out. I did not

know this before this episode. I cannot believe

it took me 43 days of summer to figure this out.

So... If anyone sees the regular original aired

version that is not the extended version as I

said the song What does he want that Candice

sings? Talking asking it's basically talking

about Jeremy. Well, you know what because she's

wondering what present he wants In this Stacey

and Jenny in this song Stacey and Jenny are backup

singers. Oh Because Vanessa Stacey and Gretchen

you do not appear this episode at all actually

on screen Vanessa does appear Olivia Olsen does

do the singing for oh it's one of my favorites

that Christmas feeling but we don't actually

see them on the actual show the funny thing about

Jenny is I looked her up on the Phineas and Ferb

Wiki and holy crap she's the sister to to Django

and the daughter to Beppo she's a brown Really?

They never expressly state that. They never expressly

state that, yeah. That's funny. It's here on

the wiki, but yeah. I don't ever remember her

saying that, you know, father and brother. And

at this point, you know, again, people, let us

know. TJ or Ryan or whoever else is going to

comment on this episode. Let us know if Jenny,

if her heritage has been revealed on the show

to this point. of christmas vacation because

i never knew it until now because i don't get

up online uh... you know wiki says all sorts

of things here we go it's christmas you leave

the phoenix for wiki alone uh... we do love the

wiki yes as we do uh... uh... uh... uh... do

you have a favorite song from this I Know What

the hell's wrong with you? Well, you know, it's

funny is it I got about halfway maybe three quarters

the way through your episode wouldn't occurred

to me There's like five or six songs. Yeah, there's

a lot of songs. There's a lot of songs going

on here they I mean, I know it's a double episode

and you may get three four songs out of a double

episode, but there's six or seven here and it

occurred to me about halfway through that maybe

I should be keeping track. Like, oh wait a minute,

which ones are good, which ones are bad, what

do you like, what do you don't like? And then,

yeah, I'm just gonna enjoy the story. I'm not

gonna focus so much on the music. But there was

a lot of music. A lot of music, yes. And it was

good. And if I went back and watched the whole

thing over again, which I probably will before

Christmas, but if I were to do it again, I'd

pay more attention to which ones I like better.

I like I like almost all the Christmas stuff

that they did with this Usually when I make Christmas

music CDs now I will Start it off with the Christmas

is starting now song and I'll usually I'll usually

end it with Vanessa's song that that Christmas

feeling so that's just yeah, well, you know We

missed Vanessa in this one. Yep, she's not in

here at all. And Norm, so I was all set to give

this a 5 +, and now I have to give it a 1, because

no Vanessa. Hey, wait a second here. No Vanessa,

no Norm, I'm sorry, I just can't give you the

full stars. No, this is still a 5 -star effort.

This is a fantastic episode, and a lot of fun,

and worthy of being a Christmas special, to put

on a DVD, which they did, and we own it. Alright,

so since you said that You would said that you

will watch this with your boys. What was their

reaction to it? You know Aidan tends to watch

things to go. Yeah, that was good, you know Gavin

tends to overreact laugh roll around the ground

What you did he really liked it So wait a second

what you're telling me is Aidan is Ralphie and

Gavin is Randy really? Randy Yeah, I don't I

don't think he's I don't remember how Randy reacted

he was he's Ralphie's little brother He was the

one making the pig noises for the mashed potatoes.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah something like that Something

like that. All right, the songs winter vacation

kicked it off What does he want was the extended

version? They use the instrumental for swinter

They use the instrumental for a cronk for hire

they they had 12 days of Christmas Doof had I

really don't hate Christmas Vanessa had that

Christmas feeling and Vanessa yeah She's not

in the actual episode, but Olivia's singing as

Vanessa for that Christmas feeling All right,

okay I know it's in there. I've listened to the

song enough. Alright, we wish you a Merry Christmas

from the whole team. We had Where Do We Go Wrong?

and then Dangle for Niceness and then Christmas

Cannot Be Destroyed Not Even By a Naughty Inator

from Santa. And then the Christmas is starting

now and then at the end they had to turn. That

doesn't count as a song. Okay, you can take it

up with the wiki people. I wonder if Clancy Brown

sang that. Uh -oh. Uh -oh. Uh -oh. Uh -oh. Uh

-oh. Uh -oh, Agent P. It turns out Carl was lying

about getting you that South Tuscany CD. I never

said I got it for him. Quiet, Carl. Haven't you

caused enough harm? Your so -called secret Santa

must have somehow infiltrated the agency. And

until we get to the bottom of it, whatever you

do, do not play that CD. Boy, the South Tuscany

guy is good. Let me crank it up some more. Christmas

cannot be destroyed, not even by an obtainator!

What the? Hurry! Okay, so we'll have Christmas.

I simply don't care. Curse my intensely burning

apathy towards Christmas! Clancy Brown is you

know oddly enough sell Tuscany is an anagram

for Clancy Brown No, it's not it's not no no

it's not there's no be in there. There's no no

it's don't even go there I'm trying to find out

here I Yeah, it doesn't say anything As to who

was the singing voice of Santa Sal Tuscany, Sal

Tuscany saves Christmas. Santy Claus. Santy Claus

saves Christmas. Yep, yes he does. Yeah, I'm

not finding it at all here, which is kind of

sad. Oh well. Those wiki guys, man, they gotta

up their game. Say when we call Clancy Brown

and just ask him. I don't think it was him. Sergeant

Zim. Sergeant Zim's gonna tell us if he's saying

that Christmas song. That's true. Let's see here.

He... Yeah. The only thing that's listed here

is that he is... The voice. He's the voice that's

all that's listed. Anyway. I suppose we'd have

to go back and listen to the Sal Tusk in the

CD. Yeah. Probably so. But yeah, lots of music,

lots of music, decent stuff. The only thing that

really comes to mind again is the intense burning

indifference to Christmas. He really doesn't

hate Christmas. And the five identical holiday

elves that were dancing behind Doofenshmirtz.

That was, yeah, you know, there's nothing not

to like there. Nope nothing like there And it

takes the carolers to give him his his hatred

for Christmas I Don't even know if he's like

alright fine if you won't leave I'll hate Christmas

But it wasn't until the very end what happens

he got oh, it's it's um the inator was destroyed

by cell Tuscany the partridge released Perry

Perry off -screen beat the snot out of, you know,

different sports in like fashion, and then trapped

him in the same trap that he trapped Perry in,

and put a partridge on his nose. So at that point,

then, he hates Christmas. Yes, he hates Christmas.

Who can blame him? Oh, boy. Does the partridge

just poop like you wouldn't believe? You got

one on you At least at least it wasn't 12 tiny

drummers Is is that 12 Yeah, the drummers is

yeah, cuz 11 maids of milking and 10 swans of

swimming and Nine geese. No, it's eight geese

laying. I don't know the only one I really know

is the 12 pains of Christmas. Damn it I'm trying

to ring up these lights That's funny All right,

folks I think before we cackle the heck out of

ourselves and drink even more wine that we've

already drunk We need to get the heck out of

here Where's my figgy pudding? I won't go unless

I get some You will? You got a 55 -gallon drum

of figgy pudding just for these situations. With

potato salad on the side. Five pounds of potato

salad. Okay, wrapping things up. Merry Christmas.
