My favorite joke is probably when Doof is going to look up the "entomology" of the word rust, and then just comes back and is like, "Turns out entomology is the study of bugs."
Don't feel bad. They actively did put inside jokes in the show that we the audience weren't supposed to get, just because they thought it'd be funny to confuse us.
I got excited when he said "upcoming movie", but then it was "Candace Against the Universe", so this is an old clip. You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo!
It was never talking down to the audience, you could learn new things, the jokes never compromised on themselves and such. Stuff like that made this work so well.
It's true tho! I overheard my 7 year old nephew and a friend have this whole conversation about the concept of time and how we percieve it as conscious beings lmfaoooo
@@Jose-vn3jf As someone who also watched it in spanish at first, I definitely recommend you to watch it in english. The show somehow manages to get even more awesome that way, but it's okay if you don't want to
One of my all-time favorite Phineas and Ferb jokes is the entire scene involving a helicopter fight and a song which explains in detail that the phrase "helicopter fight" in this instance refers to a fight taking place inside a helicopter and NOT two helicopters fighting each other. I agree with your assessment that grammar jokes are truly what makes the show so great.
I’m still upset that Phineas was using 22/7 rather than 3.1415 it’s more accurate and then he wanted to use inches rather than centimeters like…I just don’t have words…yes Baljeet was my favorite character how did you know?
Ah, I get it! Not only is this statement true, but its also an allusion to the pun being analyzed in the clip, of which said analysis is the subject of this video.
Yes!!! 😂 I always think about that one line from "You're going down" when Candace says "get used to butter 'cause you both are toast" and she's dressed as a giant stick of butter and go like- hmmm I wonder how they translated that 🤣
I was a preteen when the show came out and the show never really felt like a kids show. It just felt like something anyone could watch. As an adult I want to rewatch it.
This is treated a bit sarcastically, but the grammar (and vocabulary) references always are making me enjoy this show more! Then again, I am writing a book sooooooo…
You’re right, English is an unnessecarily complex language, and I love seeing jokes like these making fun, and playing off of it! I’m the shows translators and localisers absolutely despised you!
Actually, when i still was a kid, i DID love the grammar jokes, it gave my "higher than thou" attitude, but in my defence every one felt the same way, their was something genuinely cool about it, it was more than just grammar joke. I think the idea behind its sucess was "i GOT that one!" What made it special, pretty much anyone can understand jokes that revolve arround concept of the english grammar.
There’s a lot to be said about two talented artists, like Dan and Swampy, taking on so many production roles to make Phineas and Ferb come to life. It truly is a timeless show that children in 100 years will be able to learn/laugh with. Thanks for everything, guys!
Doof's love for grammar is one of my FAVORITE things about the series since I'm an editor myself! (Also, after years of not knowing how to spell it, he's the ONLY reason I can remember to spell "professor" now!! Thank you!!!!!!) I really LOVE that this aspect of his character is so consistent, even though it's such a tiny thing!!
My favorite one is the 1 during the whole there in the sixteen hundreds or inside a fairy tale or something and it's like "Doofensmetz Evil Incorporated but technically Corporations don't exist yet so it's technically more like an Association type thing!"Gets me laughing til I can't breathe every time!
I have one thing to say to you. Thank you for making the show. I may have been too young to remember it but I like watching even tho it is old . Thank you!
I mean I will never get the best part of the Llama Song from Milo Murphay’s Law out of my head. “Llama comma Llama comma Llama Oxford Comma and a Llama”. It’s the jokes like that which made this adult love these shows.
I am obsessed with it. I'm a 31 year old nurse with an job and a husband and a household and .... some days when my cat appears out of nowhere I shout Ahh Perry the platypus!
This show brought up grammar and math that it's target audience wouldn't know anything about and also wouldn't explain it. It didn't talk down to anyone just because it was a show for kids. Phineas and Ferb is where I learned the formula for the circumference
The oozing sarcasm at the end of this video makes this even better. For me as a kid the appeal came from the characters and also the music. They were all quirky, weird and fun characters, and the music was dope.
It is funny that you say that. I am from Spain and I always saw the series in Castellian Spanish, so most of the wordplay and puns were lost in translation. Not all, but many.
I felt that you actuallly used more ironic humor that also is catchy enough in other languages!! (Cause english grammar is hardly *or not* applied in spanish dubbing lmao)
Don't know if you know much about the success of the show overseas but it worked very well in the Dutch version as well. Speaking of thank you for sharing this show with us sir there are few of my friends that haven't grown up with it my brother and I still joke about it to this day as do my friends. You gave us fond memories and inspiration for my own writing
I like the fact that they also always used words in some episodes that kids would have no clue what they mean. So it gives them reason to look it up or ask mom or dad what it means and they learn a new word.
My adoptive parents always thought cartoons were full of junk and could never educate it between SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb I learned quite a bit and considering my mom was an English teacher in college for many years before I was born I don’t think she ever quite understood how hilarious these jokes were to me… And how comedy like yours is why I’m as funny as I am today. Your comedy shaped who I am, and it’s shaping who my son is and it’s kind of an incredible gift. I didn’t have an easy childhood and it was cool to be able to turn to SpongeBob and Phineas and Ferb and a surprising amount of your other shows I’m learning. And it’s cool right now in the world is hard I can share these things with my kid and he can find The same joy and learn the same humor to help him cope with the pain. My health is bad and I may have to prepare him for the worst. But as long as he can laugh and find beauty in the small things like I do he will be ok. Thanks for being a part of that. It means a lot for us.
I love how the humor in Phineas and Ferb isn't dumbed down. Kids are incredibly smart, and Dan knows that (not that a lot of them would get the grammar joke, but just in general) and I think we're doing kids a huge disservice with a lot of popular shows now that feel very dumbed down
When I was 12, I watched a scene wherein Phineas says "Ending sentences with propositions is something up with which I will not put." I've not seen it since then, but I still remember it word for word and have used it in many, many conversations
When Phineas and Ferb was in it's infancy, I would have it on during dinner. My Mom, sister and I loved the songs. When Squirrels In My Pants first aired, my Mom cracked up, and she would tell others about it. When Come Home Perry first aired, I was laughing at the "Change my name to Larry" line for literally hours like that. This made my mentally challenged sister laugh too. Later my Mom gave her some medicine that she had to drink and I was giggling so my sister started, while drinking, and it made it spill down her face. My Mom got mad and was like: "ZACHARY!" Ha ha!
To this day, one of my favorite jokes in Phineas and Ferb is when Buford is like: "Couldn't a gathering just as easily turn into a shindig or a hootanany?" And Isabela says: "This one has more of a storming of the Bastille kinda vibe." Gets me every time!
I thought it would be the “we’re having iced tea, you want some, honey?” gag they did in the bee episode yeah, that teaches you quickly that commas are your friend
I always loved Doof's jokes. Other cartoons assume that kids are dumb and therefore need to dumb down jokes, but Phineas and Ferb never treated the audience like that. I also loved the reoccurring jokes where Doof was getting too much alimony from Sharline. Also the "Give me your money, too lazy to get a job" song was gold.
As a kid I always loved grammar jokes though that may be because one of my grandmas was a librarian and english teacher and the other was an english tutor and ran a book club.
I mean, for me it was the music, but my grandma who watched it more than me when I was younger was an English nerd so that’s probably what it was for her
Actually, it was the minute of runtime dedicated to Doofenshmirtz locking his keys in a running truck and running out of gas while he was on the phone with AAA.
Well, used to watch the dubbed version in spanish when I was a kid, I still do, I loved taht version first. I can´t deny there is something special about watching it years later knowing a lot more words in english, it´s like watching the show for the firs time.
when I was younger my favourite part was probably when theyre in hat giant maze or whatever and need to guess the amount of Jellybeans in a jar and Buford does something its sort of vague but he eats them all? or all but a few then rights the clear number down and when asked for his working he says "give it a few hours" .....poop jokes....that will never get old
It is actually a unique concept looked at from different perspectives. Like vacuuming the mayor's house. The same reason Cyanide and Happiness is popular
One of my favorite jokes is when prison guards _and guard dogs_ literally dog-piled on people. The dogs joined in on the dogpile! See, it's a pun but it's also a visual gag.
My favorite joke is probably when Doof is going to look up the "entomology" of the word rust, and then just comes back and is like, "Turns out entomology is the study of bugs."
That's one of my favorites, I bring it up every time I talk entomology with my friends... I mean, Etymology
LOL, alright, i totally forgot about that clip but MAN is that good
“Go figure.”
I thought entomology was the study of tree people...
I legitimately say that all the time it’s a permanent part of my vocabulary
Love how phineas and ferb’s humour never “dumbs it down” for kids, there are jokes I still don’t get and I’m legally an adult now
Don't feel bad. They actively did put inside jokes in the show that we the audience weren't supposed to get, just because they thought it'd be funny to confuse us.
I’m still finding new jokes when I watch it, and I’m illegally an adult now
Me too
@@bordu9011 They have Phineas and Ferb in prison? Cool, illegally being an adult sounds awesome
Phineas surfing us so good it made one of the jury doubt Einstein's theory of relativity!!!
"Ahh.. Perry the platypus, your timing is impeccable. And by impeccable, I mean, completely peccable!"

How about:

There is some truth to this. Because a parent's laugh is contagious to their kids.
As a child, I can agree we eat up grammar jokes.
To this day, one of my favorite jokes in Phineas and Ferb is when Buford is like:
"Couldn't a gathering just as easily turn into a shindig or a hootanany?"
And Isabela says:
"This one has more of a storming of the Bastille kinda vibe."
Gets me every time!
Platypuses? Platypi? Platypeople?
Honestly, that was one of the things that hooked me.
I thought it would be the “we’re having iced tea, you want some, honey?” gag they did in the bee episode

Like ATLA, it never assumed kids were too dumb to understand it. It was clever and kids loved it.
I always loved Doof's jokes. Other cartoons assume that kids are dumb and therefore need to dumb down jokes, but Phineas and Ferb never treated the audience like that. I also loved the reoccurring jokes where Doof was getting too much alimony from Sharline. Also the "Give me your money, too lazy to get a job" song was gold.
