My ten favorite PAF moments

Disney's worldwide animated hit series, Phineas and Ferb, is ten years old now. Yes, we know that show ended years ago but just because the show was ended years ago doesn't mean we have to pay tribute to out all-time classic cartoon show about stepbrothers inventing things from their backyard while Perry the Platypus, or should we say Agent P, spending the rest of the day kicking Doof's butt.


This classic cartoon show has spawned 126 episodes, 5 one-hour specials, and a Disney Channel Original Movie. It has been aired in 163 countries and translated to 34 languages, making it a worldwide hit among kids and kids-at-heart.

In honor of the show's tenth anniversary, it's time for me to jot down my ten favorite PAF moments

1) You know that one episode where Phineas, Ferb, and the gang are trying to be one-hit wonders? Yep, that's the one with the song that remains an all-time favorite among PAF fans everywhere. That song that goes ♫Bow-chika-bow-wowthat's what my baby says, Mow Mow Mow, and my heart starts pumping, Chicka Chicka Coo Wah, Never Gonna Stop, Gitchee Gitchee Goo means that I Love You!

2) In an episode titled :Lights, Candace, Action!", when Candace was chosen to be the star of a new movie, her luck got spiraled when Phineas and Ferb ended up being the film's director. Oh, there was one part of the episode where the boys are doing some editing process and you'll see a hint of Ashley Tisdale on it. Ashley, of course, plays Candace in this show.

3) In Comet Kermilian, when Jeremy's bratty little sis Suzy thrown a nut at the back of Candace's trousers, squirrels come attracting on her back and there goes the breakdance forever remembered by many; SIMP. That's Squirrels In My Pants.

4) At the near end of the Summer Belongs To You special, with time running out and a roadblock is blocking their way home, completing their near-impossible "round the world in a day" adventure, the gang spotted some rides to get home quicker and when Candace denies getting in the trike, Phineas yelled "Get on the trike!" That's the first we saw our favorite character getting mad for a brief period.

5) In the DCOM Phineas And Ferb: Into the 2nd Dimension, to stop other-dimension Doof from taking over the Tri-State Area, Phineas and Ferb entered Agent P's secret lair and in there, all of the inventions they did in the past are here and with the gang and all of their inventions keeping the Norm-bots busy, Phineas and Agent P gets to the rooftop of the ahem ♫Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated! for a showdown against other-dimension Doof. When things got bad, the real Doof appears and giving away his prized toy train to his other-dimension alter ego. With the other-dimension Doof finally calmed down and later arrested by the Resistance, things are back to normal and in the end of the film, to make sure Agent P won't be relocated to another family, the gang's memory will be erased using OWCA's top secret device. Oh, and before their memories of this epic day wiped out, Isabella kissed Phineas. There you go.

6) The episode Tip of the Day made us remember what is the tip of the shoelace, which is of course, ♫A-G-L-E-T AGLET!♫ This aglet song forever stuck in the heads of many PAF fans everywhere and thanks to this episode, everybody knows what is the tip of their shoelaces is.

7)  At the end of The Chronicles of Meap episode, they made a fake trailer gag about Meap's next mission but due to inconsistent public demand, the producers made it anyway and it's called Meapless in Seattle. In that episode, Meap summoned the gang once again as they're taking on against his archnemesis, Mitch, before gaining control of a mysterious power that will make the possessor cute enough to hypnotize the entire universe. Still, the episode learned us that even if you possess the ultimate power that will make you look cute, you will be out-cuted by Isabella's cuteness. Simple as that.

8) The Nerds of a Feather episode got Phineas and Ferb involved in a word war between fantasy and sci-fi geeks in a middle of a convention. While the two got involved in a war of fandoms, Candace attends the convention in her Ducky Momo mascot, trying to keep her childhood fandom hidden from Jeremy. One hilarious bit of this episode is the commemorative Ducky Momo plate with the words "I HATE PEOPLE". So much for Candace's childhood favorite.

9) A favorite for fans of Top Gear and The Grand Tour, the Live and Let Drive episode is the one where Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May guest starred as racing commentators while Agent P joins the race as he tries to stop Doof's plot to sabotage the race with his inators.

10) A dream come true from a certain PAF fan, the episode "Act Your Age" imagines what it will be like when Phineas, Ferb, and their pals were teenagers. In that episode, Phineas is in a middle of a hard decision if he wants to be in the same school Isabella attends or not. The climax of this episode hits the sweet spot fans have been longing for because, you guessed it, Phineas kissed Isabella. It really is worth the wait.

Happy 10th anniversary to our ever-favorite creative stepbrothers! Did you know that there will be a special Milo Murphy's Law episode where Milo and the gang meets Phineas and Ferb?! Watch for it this year!
