It also features a lot more Ferb than usual (or at least, a lot more Ferb without Phineas there to outshine him).
"Vanessassary Roughness" does it for Vanessa. Isabella and the Fireside Girls gets theirs in "Isabella And the Temple of Sap"-which also has a Perry-parallel (complete with female supervillain) in Pinky the Chihuahua. Dating Catwoman: Monty Monogram, son of Major Monogram, and Vanessa Doofenshmirtz, daughter of Doofenshmirtz, end up dating despite being on opposite sides. Doofenshmirtz still has many traits where he would fit this trope: exaggerated nose and chin, hunched posture, elaborate crazy schemes, and over-the-top mannerisms. Dastardly Whiplash: Despite not having a mustache or hat (and wearing a lab coat instead in keeping with his Mad Scientist role), Dr. In "It's About Time!", there's an exhibit in the dinosaur section featuring a dog, and an old man that used to own him, which Lawrence shows the kids before realizing what he's talking about. The Season 4 Halloween episodes, "Terrifying Tri-State Trilogy of Terror" and "Night of the Living Pharmacists", actually have some pretty disturbing content for the show's standards - the latter in particular has Body Horror and a Dwindling Party plot with characters becoming zombies in a really intense situation, with their reactions to such events being akin to watching their friends and family die. To a lesser extent, the fourth season as a whole, while still remaining optimistic and upbeat, seems to be more liberal when it comes to using black comedy, and the stories of some episodes may count too, in particular Phineas' controversial snapping in "Mission Marvel". It involves the first time where Phineas is truly mad at someone ( him being upset at Perry revealing himself to be a secret agent, as he feels like Perry never regarded him and Ferb as friends), we have a dictatorship where every character has Darker and Edgier counterparts, and the first time the main characters have been faced with someone trying to kill them. Thankfully, it's All Just a Dream ( within a dream), but it's still a terrifying What If? episode. Bonus points for the fact that the reformatory's Drill Sergeant Nasty is perhaps one of the most evil villains to appear in a Disney cartoon, to the point where he even gets killed at the end. Candace eventually discovers what's going on and attempts a rescue, where she is barely able to save them. After Candace successfully busts her brothers, the duo get sent to a reform school that's a prison where their identities and creativity are stripped and they are subject to Clockwork Orange-esque torture and a not-so-subtle form of waterboarding, to the point of becoming imagination-deprived zombies. "Phineas And Ferb Get Busted" is among the darkest things Disney has ever done. "Summer Belongs to You" features Klimpaloon, a living "magical old-timey bathing suit that lives in the Himalayas.".
Done literally in "Out of Toon", when Doofenshmirtz attempted to create a ray that would dry his clothes after his dryer broke, but instead made one that made anything hit with it dance. Dance Party Ending: Several episodes end in this way, such as "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together" and "Summer Belongs To You!", which both end with the cast jamming out and singing. Naturally, being Candace, this all blows up in her face. Earlier in "A Hard Day's Knight", Candace plays the part when the boys host a medieval tournament, with the Guy of the Week as her Knight in Shining Armor. Damsel in Distress: In "Phineas and Ferb and the Temple of Juatchadoon," Isabella is one of these. Dame with a Case: Parodied in "Finding Mary McGuffin", where, after watching some of their dad's old detective movies, Phineas and Ferb decorate their room to look like a detective's office and Candace barges in demanding they figure out who her doll got sold to. Ultimately, she not only never truly become evil, but she also gets an internship at OWCA, and ends up convincing her father to give up evil as well. Vanessasarry Roughness has her helping her father hunt down a rare material for his inventions. In ∿inding Mary McGuffin, she rips a doll out of a little girls hands, leaving her crying. Though Vanessa shows little interest in evil or her fathers schemes, she occasionally dabbles in it herself, to her fathers pride. Daddy's Little Villain: Played with through Heinz and Vanessa Doofenshmirtz. Doofenshmirtz clearly wants this kind of relationship with his daughter, she just doesn't return the favor until later episodes. And considering the fact that he's actually her step-dad, it's pretty darn cute. Candace has this kind of relationship with her dad in a few episodes, such as "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World" and "I Was a Middle Aged Robot".
