Plot twist: it is called the "Tri-State Area" because it is constantly teleporting between 3 different states every once in a while.
So you are saying that perry failed to stop the state teleportinator
Ah so Phineas and Ferb takes place in Three Portlands. That checks out
the Tri-State Area is actually Three Portlands
It simply teleports between solid, liquid, and gas?
Quantum super position but with an entire city area 😂
So the tri state area is like Springfield in the simpsons
Pretty much
Springfield is in Orogen (sorry if spelt wrong, I am British)
@@Reaperleviathan199 not according to the Simpson movie
@@jessegartung294 the Simpsons movie gives an impossible location
There is a game theory video going over where spring field is
One of my favorite things about Doofenshmirtz was how he didn't want to take over the whole entire world, but rather specifically the Tri-State area. I thought him having a more reasonable specific goal was hilarious.
Remember how he once thought about taking over the world but was suggested to start small with the Tri-State Area. It was actually Linda, phineas and Candace’s mom, who gave him the idea during a drive through movie date.
He had goals. They were evil goals but he had goals
@@jordanbutler8530Well, he never really planned to try to take over the world. That was just a sarcastic comment he made in response to Linda saying she wanted to be a pop star. It was her then saying that he should maybe start small with the tri-state area that seemed to inspire him. Of course, Linda wasn’t ACTUALLY telling him to take over the tri-state area. In context, she was essentially saying you can achieve seemingly unattainable goals by taking it one step at a time as a response to Doof’s sass.
How come he never tried to become its mayor?
@@gimmeyourrights8292🙈 i now need the fic where he runs for mayor omg
I think they missed a visual gag of the Tri-state area being 3 states that are no where near eachother. Like Alaska, Hawaii, and Idaho.
Like the Simpsons movie where they say Springfield bordered Nevada, Oregon, Maine and Kentucky
I think it is because the Simsons made that joke and internet people wouldn't have forgiven such outrageous sin against god, earth and humanity of hearing the same joke in two shows. So they decided to imply, instead of showing, which is equally funny.
@@dimwarlockwhat sin against god?
@@RHCP_AKIRASTAND In that sentences context "sin against god" is just used as a way to sarcastically say "incredibly evil/heinous" in the most exaggerated fashion.
The Tristate Area is on the Pacific Northwest,
From Canada, to Florida. Just because there's terracotta in a in a photo you're keeping.
Firstly, depends what your definition of driving range is. One tank of fuel, one hour, one day, literally accessible by road? If that’s the case, they could be in Patagonia for all we know.
Mount rushmore isn't accessible by road from patagonia unless you include ferries
Not true. They could not be in South America because of the Darien Gap, a small stretch in the deep rainforests of Panama and Columbia where there are no roads, effectively cutting the roadways of the Americas in half.
@@awildfilingcabinet6239 I see us two really have got to the crux of the issue here.
I think most people would find driving range as you can drive to it, because no one uses that term
Here in the US, driving distance is as far as you're willing to drive. A motivated group could drive from the southern tip of Florida to Mount Rushmore.
Don't forget that the Tristate Area is also off the coast of the country of Doofinia. "Hail, hail, Doofinia!"
I think the hymn ends too quickly at the end there
The tri-state area is Seattle you drive down the coast to California and Vegas, one stayed away, or up to Oregon one state away.
Enjoy the snow the Sea and the land
@@SLVYER1 uh no? They travel to Seattle once and it’s stereotypically depicted as always rainy.
Yelmao
Also interesting to note, in the follow-up series Milo Murphy's Law and Candace Against the Universe, it's implied, if not outright confirmed, that the tri-state area doesn't necessarily refer to an area consisting of three states. Instead the area was named after founder John P. Trystate. However Milo mentions a QUAD-state area once or twice which opens up a whole new can of worms.
That was actually confirmed in the Phineas and Ferb series when Buford mentioned his great uncle, Otto H. Adjacent founder of the Adjacent area which was later merged with the bi-state area to form the tri-state area by his nemesis John P. Trystate.
@@Ian-bf4yk So, that would make it both the tri-state area and the Trystate area... the lore deepens
Wouldn’t the quad state area be Colorado, NM, AZ, UT
@@alphacacticreaturescreatur9122 ehh, not necessarily, but it would make sense. i don't think dan and swampy would've put that much thought into a callback bit.
you cant forget that sea turtles played a role in the governments development which also opens a very large can of worms
It's worth noting that deserts are always shown as being far away from the tri state area, i.e. doof teleporting himself and perry to one and taking all day to get back, and other episodes only visiting them via road trips or other forms of travel.
Exactly
Another commenter also pointed out that "driving distance" can mean anything from being a few hours away, to literally _anything connected to a road._
Meaning that, if one uses the latter definition, the Tri-State Area could theoretically be in "Patagonia for all we know" (For context: Patagonia is a historical region in Southern Argentina, almost on the coast of Cape Horn).
So, if the Tri-State area is far away from a desert, near the Atlantic Ocean, _and_ within "driving distance" of Mount Rushmore, then it being somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard (or at least _close_ to the Eastern Seaboard) is the most likely guess.
That being said, like EliTried mentioned, Dan Povenmire himself has stated that the exact location of the Tri-State area is irrelevant, unless it's needed for a joke, or for the plot of a specific episode.
Technically anything in the lower 48 is within driving distance. You just have to be brave enough
Or any place north of the Darrien Gap (where there are no roads)
You just gotta be from the Midwest then a 1200 mile drive is like a morning commute
Touché
I spy a fellow Alaskan yes
Literally no other people say “The Lower 48”
@@Stabilization no lol. I'm from Minnesota
Depending on where you are, "Driving distance of Mount Rushmore" can range from a 20 minute drive to a 2 day drive.
The term usually means it's a matter of hours or less
They started driving there on Candace’s birthday and it was still her birthday when they got there
"That eliminates every option"
has to have been the funniest moment in this entire video.
Just remember, some days their backyard has a regular neighborhood behind it, others it’s an entire nascar track, a beach, and much much more
and all their projects are built at montage or musical number speed
“Driving distance” is relative to what you can tolerate. 😂
"dansville" 💀
Drove me insane!
Paused, scrolled down to find this comment, now leaving without finishing the video, what a basic mistake
I was looking for this comment!!
Also thinking any of the Great Lakes are saltwater lol
If there's one thing I despise, it's comment bait
Out of curiosity, which of the Great Lakes do you think is salt water?
I thought Lake Erie and Ontario were because they're directly connected to St Lawrence River but I got that one wrong. None of them are.
@@EliTriedtell nobody but lake erie has some great salt deposits if you ever need free salt
lakebonneville@@EliTried
@@sablesaltThank you friendly salt gremlin. Username checks out.
@@666thecreature i fucking love salt
Family guy be like: Nah, let’s just stick to Rhode Island and call Providence.
Quahog.
They totally live out in Cranston. I have zero doubts in my mind
@@destur1googled the city. And yeah at the bottom of the wikipedia page, it says that Quahog is based on it
Well it's near a Desert so at least 4 hours driving. Near Rushmore so South or middle. Near the pacific. Near a great lake. So wich state is in the middle of Rushmore to it's left. Great lake North and desert to the South? Also the don't have southern drawl. Soooo Illinois,Indiana , Kentucky
Really, the Tristate Area isn't a state or group of states. It's just an area, founded by John P Tristate. It was a municipal merger between the Bistate Area and Adjacent Area.
Well actually, the desert wasn't stated to be in or close to dansville, but rather a place that Perry and Doofenshmirtz were transported to by the inator, and connected by a bus route. They were able to get back to Danville on jetpack, so it isn't necessarily something that can be measured by normal metrics
In the Mount Rushmore episode, Perry travels all the way to his OWCA-sanctioned base in Danville only to have to travel all the way back to Mount Rushmore, so they can’t be _that_ close to each other…
There’s one episode where Perry’s base is seemingly in England
Driving distance rulings are inherently flawed because that only means there's no body of water in the way without a ferry
You also forgot how its not too far from Seattle
I thought I was tripping, I was almost positive that the space needle shows up extremely often
Honestly I think Danville is on the Washington-Oregon-Idaho border for this reason. Driving distance to Seattle, Mt Rushmore, a large desert, and the Pacific Ocean.
"The tri-state area got up and it danced away"
It did what..?🤔👀
Well interestingly enough, the Great Lakes are ALL 100% freshwater, so there’s that
Where is the tri-state area located in?
Povenmire: yes
Why don’t you tell me where the tri-state area is?
Povenmire: I’m telling where it is.
Where the tri-state area is?
Povenmire: Yes.
Go ahead and tell me.
Povenmire: I’m telling you.
You’re telling me nothing. I’m asking you a simple question. What area is the tri-state located in?
Povenmire: No, no. What’s on second base?
I’m not asking you who’s on second?
Povenmire: Who’s on first?
I don’t know.
THIRD BASE!!!
It should be noted that the presence of an ocean/beach is something that changes quite regularly
yeah like the beach in the backyard
where the heck does the water go???
@jokerofspades-xt3bs I want to know what happened to the houses that were there. Did the family's that live there get sent to the shadow realm? Or do they willingly let their houses get demolished then rebuilt after the beach is gone.
In this universe the united states is called "tri state area"
That makes too much sense
Technically everywhere is within driving distance if you’re brave enough
The Great Lakes are all fresh water.
One funny thing to note is that The Tri-State Area probably isn't even a tri-state area. It was just named after the founder, John P. Trystate.
Kinda like the Outerbridge Crossing in NY/NJ. It's a bridge, named after a guy named Outerbridge.
They had to say "crossing" so it wouldn't be the "Outerbridge Bridge" lmao
Not to mention in multiple episodes Danville is completely landlocked
Maybe the real Tri-State Area was the friends we made along the way
My man tried applying logic to phin and ferb
Imagine planning a who trip to Mnt Rushmore and your city ranomly teleports copletly ruining yur plan
So the tri-state area is a narrative vehicle to drive the story. Neat!
Its funny because in the Danish dub its translated as "Trekantsområdet" or the triangle area. And there is actually one region in Denmark thats called Trekantsområdet. Specifically a cluster of 3 small cities named Vejle, Kolding, and Fredericia. Together they form a triangle and are collectively the 4th largest urban region in the country. Plus in Denmark it has been a tendency in the 80's and 90's especially to put "Dan-" in front of names for things to emphasise their Danishness so Danville kinda fits in.
Counterpoint, there is a place called Danville in California where I grew up.
there's a Danville in most states lol
There’s a Danville in a lot of states, same with springfield. We got a Danville Illinois not that far from here
YOOOO
IM FROM THERE
@@deathcat2439 you shouldn’t say that on the internet
I always thought it was new york, new jersey and Connecticut
I grew up in New Jersey and we always said tri-state there was NY NJ PA lol it is crazy to see that both NY and PA have different ideas of Tri-state I almost feel cheated on
@@jakeair62 Guy from PA here, you’re not alone. I always thought that PA was part of it because on a map there is that point where the borders between PA, NJ and NY meet at one spot
I always thought it was Washington Idaho and Oregon
noisnot
tristateareaisfakebutdanvilleisreal
maybe in the phineas and ferb-verse all states have different borders and mount rushmore was built someplace else
Either that or it's the small one from Las Vegas
@@DrRank lol
I would argue Washington, Oregon, and Idaho fit well. You can drive to Mount Rushmore in under a day (18 hours). You have oceans and deserts.
So, it's basically the Springfield of the show. Part of USA, but not in a specific state.
The great lakes bit is not all how that works
Just wait until he learns about the pentastate area. He’ll go mad.
You're missing the final piece of the puzzle: the fireside girl troop number is a real life girlscount troop number which happens to be in a tri-state area
I like to think every once in a while the “tri-state area” just grows two large stone like legs and walks to another area like a bird migration.
So I'm Austrian right. As a kid watching the show, and up until now acctually cause I never thought about it, I thought that the tri-state area was a real place, referring to the nations of Canada, the US and Mexico
The true Tri-State Area was inside us all along
Maybe the real tri state area was the friends we made along the way
The tri state area always gave me northwest vibes for some reason
Im from California, I go to school in NY. It takes about 5 days to drive that distance. I still consider that to be within driving distance.
Are you serious?
@@camrenmugabe3062 I suspect they're a college student.
better question is "where isn't the tri-state area"
Utah is driving distance from both Mount Rushmore and the Pacific ocean, only 10 hours drive. Doable in 1 or 2 days. It is also near the desert.
There's a reason they always just call it the tri-state area all the time and never mention any of the three states that form it
To be fair, anywhere in the continental U.S. is “within driving distance” for an American.
It’s most likely the PA, NY, and NJ tri state area. Having an inconsistency about Mount Rushmore is funny because Jeremy was only there for an employee swap program (which can send employees to other states). Also, as a Michigander, none of the Great Lakes are saltwater. A portion of Lake Ontario is considered brackish but this doesn’t negate its freshwater classification. Also, I believe they’re in New Jersey because of the mom’s haircut. It screams New Jersey in 2009.
Dan Povenmire grew up in Mobile, AL and has said that the plots he uses in episodes are based on his childhood. That means the Tri-State area is more likely based on the AL/MS/FL area
You underestimate the willingness of a Midwesterner to drive extreme distances for a weekend trip.
I thought I remembered looking it up and saying that it was somewhere by New York like that area.
I only knew of the four corners which would be a quad state area.
I'm pretty sure the "true state area" was only created as part of a bit. Normally the evil villain says they are gonna take over the world, so it was way more funny to make doof say he was gonna take over the tri state area.
I always thought it was Illinois-Wisconsin-Indiana area
I always thought it was in Virginia
No wonder Doofenschmirtz wants to take control of it. Imagine being leader of a region which is constantly changing location.
The skyline shown in some episodes is that of Mobile, Al. So when I was little I thought it was the trip state area I was familiar with, MS, AL, and FL coasts.
“… But that’s just a theory… a FILM Theory! Aaaand cut!”
The tri-state area is the friends we made along the way.
What if Phineas and Ferb takes place in the same universe as The Crew 1 and 2 where it only takes under an hour to drive across America.
The Tri-State area was founded by John P. Tristate, united with Otto H. Adjacent area. There was also a guy of the name of Bistate as well.
My favorite thing is when a writer looks at a place they know people will look into deeper and intentionally muddies the water to the point even the theorists look at it and just go "Fuck it whatever"
Tri-State Area is either an SCP or Weird Object / Place.
In the rock climbing wall song they mention seeing Escanaba and further beyond they can just see Montreal which is a 14 hour drive east from Escanaba. This also implies they know of and would be able to recognize the small city of Escanaba and would be close but west of Michigan. Even tho the lakes are the largest fresh water lakes in the world, not salt water.
Imagine your home town changing places like the room of requirement
Plot twist: the tri-state area is on another earth
Bro should be the next MatPat. Brings me back Springfield vibes.
it's literally the springfield gag but next level
The Tri-State area is in a place It's a state of mind
The Mount Rushmore thing doesn’t have to be within driving distance. They could’ve driven from the airport. They are in California. Salt water(pacific) check. Death Valley, check. Big city, check. The Tri-State area was founded by John H. Tristate. The area was named after him. It couldn’t actually be a state, maybe just a county.
Growing up I always thought it was my tri state area (Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey). Maybe that was the point, so kids could picture it wherever they lived
Same! I lived in a city in Kentucky that was called “the tri-state area” and didn’t realize there were other places called that in the United States.
You severely underestimate Americans willingness to drive cross country
As an Australian finding out there are multiple tri state areas and it’s not just like three specific cities feels like being slapped in the face by a fish
Dan is a genius.
This animatic just became so much more relevant to the story after Tina's lore yesterday which implies that she might be a fallen angel...
You even predicted Empanada and Q!Mouse being the people Q!Tina turns for help to...
Beautiful!
The tri state area is just one of Phineas' inventions that didn't manage to get destroyed nor get noticed by Candice
You forgot how Doofenshmirtz once shows a map of the San Francisco Bay Area when singing about the Tri-State area
A traveling city....
This is another invention of Fineas and Ferb!!!
Imagine it's like an SCP, the Tri-SA is the same but the area around it can be observed actively morphing into a completely new climate
I am glad someone just admitted it is a gimmick instead of creating super stretched theory
I can't believe one guy created this AND Minions. What a legend, Dan Povenmire.
In Rollercoaster, Doofenshmirtz covers the eastern seaboard in tinfoil to pull it westward
I'm so glad that the point of this video wasn't "haha! Pothole!" but instead looked at if this question having an actual answer served the show or not
the thing is the tristate area was just shot with a inator and it teleports randomly to different areas
its totally explained in the comics dont worry about it
Maybe the Tri-State Area is the friends we made along the way
The best way to have a whole country love your show (I do and I'm not American) is to set it everywhere, not just one location. That said, even as a brit, I always got the impression that it's in the northeast.
Additional don't forget that alongside being within driving distance of Mount Rushmoe, it's also very close to Seattle
Yeah, that would have really thrown off my suspension of disbelief. I’m glad they didn’t throw anything so absurd into this very grounded and realistic world as to not break my immersion.
That nothing burger was a FEAST
I feel like they just said tri-state area because there was absolutely zero chance the average child had ever heard that term before so it landed as funny.
You almost always see a saguaro cacti in animated deserts, but the saguaro mostly only occurs in Southern Arizona. Very few are outside its borders.
I remember in the episode where there was a doofinshmirts virus they zoomed out showing a desert with giant walls protecting them from the outside
Remember “driving distance” here in America is a really long distance. I could totally see them being right in between the Great Lakes and Mount Rushmore, though that wouldn’t quite be the same as the Atlantic
Wow, in that last clip, Doof was absolutely screwed.
“Within driving distance” Is all of America.
the whole community regularly moves depending on where the community wants to go
This was such a good show
