OKAY OKAY but im rewatching "the klimpaloon ultimatum" pnf episode and theres that scene when Phineas comes up with a plan and asks Baljeet what are the chances of succes and baljeet says "i am coming up with a 32.3% chance of succes." and like, we all know he's good at math, that ain't new, BUT imagine the gang comes to him on a lunch break in school and they are all like questioning each other for the upcoming test or something and then Baljeet tells them aproximately what score they might get.

"Okay, Phineas, if my calculations are right - and they always are - you have 88.7% chance of passing that history test."

"Sweet!"

Phineas and Ferb S4 E20, "The Klimpaloon Ultimatum"

[wherevenusholdssomeofficespace]

5 Man Band

It is not a controversial statement to say that the backyard kids fit the 5 man band archetype. They're even color coded!

Phineas - Leader He's the one who comes up with the gangs activities for the day. And when world saving gets involved, he's the one who directs conversation around plans: (see Klimpaloon Ultimatum's Buford Van Stomm scene, CATU's cut Step into the Great Unknown, and in NOTLP).

Ferb - Lancer The foil to the leader. While often times the leader may act as an opposing force to the leader this is not necessary. Ferb acts as a foil in other ways. The quiet man of action to Phineas's loud enthusiasm. Ferb is also the more likely of the two to break the rules or mess with people while Phineas is overwhelmingly sincere. He gets Phineas's plans to work and often subtly provides input.

Isabella - Heart/Chick Isabella is the girl. Unfortunately, that's what this role boils down to historically (2007). The girl who does girl things, like make-up or being flirty or whatever in the infiniteness of femininity is relevant to the character and context. In the context of girl only groups, this role is generally the girly-girl; the pretty or cute one. In the context of Phineas and Ferb, it's Isabella's cuteness that makes me confident she fits this role. She literally has weaponizable cuteness. But that doesn't mean physical appearance is all there is to this role. The reason this trope is shifted to "the Heart" in modern usage, is a reflection of what stereotypical femininity offers to a group dynamic. Emotions. Not to say that the whole group isn't emotional, or Isabella isn't also very smart, strong and a good leader. But Isabella's emotions do play a big enough part in her character that to ignore that would be disingenuous. But a large portion of Isabella's character does have to do with her crush on Phineas. These emotions have been a driving point to her character in several episodes. Not to mention an upset Isabella is an instant Phineas motivator. In addition Isabella is potentially the most empathetic member of the cast. She relates to Candace and is probably the only one of the kids we see really GET Candace, (Out to Launch, Mission Marvel). They all love her, but they don't really understand her. She encourages Phineas when he's feeling down in Summer Belongs to You. She's the one who comforts Buford when he's missing Biff. She's the one who recognizes Mitch as a poacher and is the one most distressed by the Klimpaloon experiments. Sure she's also oblivious at times (focusing on capri pants as the world is ending). But so is every other person in this town to some degree or another. She's a "Strong Female Character" (physically tough, and very skilled), but she does also fit the traditional Chick role by being unabashedly girly and sweet, and able make use of it. She's both. (Very magical girl). I'd almost say it edges into the trope of the female character not having flaws (which when you only have one character of a group there's a tendency to not give them big flaws because it reflects on the whole group, a then you get the whole Mary Sue effect), but because the same goes for Phineas and Ferb themselves (and Perry), so it's not like its just because she's a girl. And also Candace is here. On another note, it is typical for 5 man bands to be able to be split into two sets: Leader and Lancer, Big Guy and Smart Guy, with the Heart going in one of the categories. Isabella as Phineas and Ferb's next door neighbor and long time friend easily forms a trio with them. Very often she is with them even when Buford and Baljeet aren't. But also as brothers Phineas and Ferb are a duo without her too, and she's been known for form a trio with Buford and Baljeet from time to time.

Buford - Big Guy He's is literally the biggest. He likes physical confrontation. What more needs to be said. He defines himself by his brawn. He is the first one the group turns to when they need physical strength. And he forms a duo with Baljeet.

Baljeet - Smart Guy He defines himself by being a nerd. Phineas and Ferb notably look to him for more concrete math stuff (Klimpaloon Ultimatum and Undercover Carl). He's on a whole other when it comes to nerdiness. He is, kind of a nerd even amongst nerds, as Buford sometimes notes.

Candace - 6th Ranger Candace is obsessed with the boys activities. So to the boys, she's often a participant, so they include her, and see her involvement, be it motivated by her own self-interest or not, they see her as part of the group to a certain extent. They made her a ninja costume in Quietest Day Ever, she's part of their 6 man world saving squad in Last Day of Summer and Save Summer. Their Klimpaloon rescue team in Klimpaloon Ultimatum, and she is one of the 6 who circumnavigate the globe. She's the 6th member of the team. It's just instead of joining the team later, she operates outside of the group and sometimes gets roped in. One could even say she is of the villain turned good variety: she often attempts to bust the days activities (acts as an antagonist), but when push comes to shove she joins them without hesitation, particularly later on.

Of course I think it is very important to recognize that these characters are not defined by these roles. Buford's also a nerd. Isabella's also really tough and a natural leader. All of them could feasibly fit anywhere. That's not me misassigning the characters, that's the characters being nuanced and well rounded. It's not about what role these characters fit as individuals, but rather the role they play on the team. They're all smart, but Baljeet is still the smart one, who checks their math and cares about education. Buford may be the most emotional, but he is still the wall of meat who is physically the biggest and chooses to play roles like bouncer and bodyguard. Isabella may be the fireside girls leader, but in this group its Phineas who leads the way with his optimism and the one who rallies the troupes and makes decisions on the days activities.

I don't know where I was going with this just I like how they clearly fit into the archetypes expected of the 5 man band. There's a reason that trope works. It leads to a team with a solid spread of skills, so can work well together, and and often different personalities that lead to unique dynamics. But I think the fact that the individuals in this group are strong in areas outside of their designated role really helps with the groups cohesion too. Each character can have more than one role. Buford can have dumb muscle jokes, but also jokes about the arts. Isabella can be the cute one, but also the tough one as the situation calls and rival Buford in that regard. Baljeet may be the nerd, but Ferb might have some sort of knowledge that he doesn't. It makes them fully fledged characters and adds nuance to their dynamics where they can swap roles circumstantially.

I remember some episodes so vividly but some of the latter half of the series is fuzzy. I dont remember if i ever even watched eps like the klimpaloon ultimatum. When i rewatch tho i will NOT be watching the entirety of the finale because i cant do that again. I was crying off and on for the entire day after it premiered.

[pftones3482]

(If you're still doing the Character thing) Candace Flynn?

That's my GIRL

Why I like them: she's a genuinely really good older sister. A lot of people complain about her trying to bust Phineas and Ferb constantly, but as an older sister myself, that's just how it is. But she loves them so much and I love that.

Why I don't like them: nonsense that's impossible

Favorite Episode: Three way tie between The Ballad of Badbeard, Wizard of Odd, and The Klimpaloon Ultimatum

Favorite Line: "You got me a coffee mug? And I don't even DRINK coffee, I can't do anything right!!!" When I tell you I relate to that line of thinking on a spiritual level

Favorite Outfit: genuinely so bummed we never got a repeat of her outfit from One Good Scare Ought to Do It

OTP: Canderemy, easy. Runner up is Stacy/Candace

Brotp: her and Perry or her and any of the trio kids (Isabella, Buford, Baljeet). I love her interactions with them

Headcanon: she used to take Ferb out for ice cream as a way to try and bond with him when they were younger and first getting to know each other, and now for special occasions they still practice that tradition

Unpopular Opinion: I hate the nickname "Candy" for her 😅 it just feels like such a mean girl name, and it doesn't fit her in my head

A Wish: I want a Candace and Ferb centric episode in the new seasons, PLEASE.

Oh god please no: I really hope they don't make her so heavily focused on busting in the new seasons, they've already given her character development away from that

5 words to beat describe them: Passionate, confident, stubborn, sympathetic, and just all around whacky (I love her)

My nickname for them: again. This question is weird. No.

Hi there, not sure if someone asked you this before but which is your favourite P&F special, and if you’ve seen this show, favourite H&G episode?

Ooooooo…. I haven’t seen hamster and gretel yet, I’ve been meaning to watch it.

My favourite pnf special is … probably nerds of a feather or meapless in Seattle OR the klimpaloon ultimatum. Thats a good one.

I love the little guys of the pnf universe: ducky momo, Klimpaloon, meap, etc

here’s one for lights candace action

here’s one for live and let drive

here’s one for the klimpaloon ultimatum

the same website also has storyboards for make play and remains of the platypus, the latter of which is pretty cool because it’s a lot different from the final episode

here’s some from swiss family phineas

I also found some oooold stuff for hail doofania that’s pretty interesting. this is mostly a tour of the disney studios but it has some early storyboards/a script with stuff that wasn’t in the final episode. it looks like they were going to make the whole pnf plot/doof plot switch way more obvious

“you look like the daughter of an evil scientist or something!” lol very subtle

here’s some storyboards for disco miniature golfing queen

here’s a short thing from night of the living pharmacists

here’s the original title sequence !!

there were a few things I wasn’t able to access, like I saw some of the storyboards for return policy and for your ice only on google but I couldn’t get the website they were on to load. also this page isn’t loading images so idk if those are still even available anywhere which bugs me because I want to see the ones for the fathers day episode

the pilot animatic for rollercoaster is also on youtube (I think) if you want to watch that

bonus:

this pic from storyboard artist patrick o’connor

this pic from lights candace action which makes the episode look way more dramatic than it is

I don’t think this is all from one episode (the bottom part is also from lights candace action) but it’s cool. perspective

also I found this which I think might be fanart (I know nothing about this website and I honestly don’t even remember where I found this but it was in my browsing history for last night so 🤷) but it has doof and perry holding hands and monogram slapping doof so I’m sharing it anyway

just spent like 3 hours hyperfixating on finding phineas and ferb storyboards
