#PaFGB would probably be the episode I chose

"Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!" was the Most Pointless Episode of Phineas and Ferb

No. Really.

It's supposed to be a "what-if" situation to show why we shouldn't necessarily ROOT for Candace's endeavors, and yet Dan and Swampy have made it clear that Linda would NEVER actually do that to Phineas or Ferb. So there was literally no point in that episode existing because that "what-if" isn't even possible.

By all accounts, this episode should not exist and honestly just raises more questions than it answers. And I'm not just saying this because this episode rubs me the wrong way in general, the episode even has the whole thing take place in a dream, so even the creators knew this was a pointless story. And yeah, PnF is episodic, not all the episodes have a point, but they also feel like they BELONG within the series - but this one, I feel like we could've done well without. It exists purely to entice the curiosity of the fans and nothing else, and it doesn't even do it right because this isn't even a scenario that would realistically happen outside a dream within a dream.

Now you could argue that, perhaps, this is what CANDACE might've thought would happen if Phineas and Ferb got busted...but you'd be wrong! Because this dream was in PERRY'S dream! NOT Candace's! So it's not even introspection into Candace's psyche or her motivations or what her thought process was in all of this, the only noteworthy thing we get is Perry's fear of losing his owners, which you could've put in ANY OTHER EPISODE and it would've worked just as well - not to mention that it was a part of his character that we just ASSUMED he was already afraid of given it was part of his goal not to be discovered.

So in the end, this episode shouldn't have existed. I'm not saying that anyone is wrong for enjoying it, and perhaps that itself is enough to justify its existence, but it really shouldn't have existed.
