Phineas and Ferb-Busters! is an episode of the animated series Phineas and Ferb. It originally premiered on Disney XD on February 27, 2010 & on Disney Channel on May 14, 2010.

Synopsis[]

Candace enlists her friends Stacy and Jenny to help her bust her brothers, so they run trial busting events in the backyard to prep for the real thing. Meanwhile, Phineas and Ferb create an unlimited power supply to propel a group of cyclone-like vehicles known as "Spinning Tops of Doom." Over at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, a new replacement robot for Norm has been called into action, but when struck by the surge of power going through Danville, the robot turns on Dr. Doofenshmirtz and makes him the target.

Plot[]

Candace, yet again having failed to bust her brothers, is inspired to get some assistance after Isabella comments that anything is possible with teamwork. As part of "Nerd Awareness Week", Baljeet chooses the day's activity, called Spinning Tops. Buford thinks that it's lame, but agrees to give it a shot after Baljeet adds "Of Doom" to the name. It turns out to be a board game, which gets boring very fast, and Phineas decides that it needs more "oomph". Baljeet is happy about this but is interrupted as he's about to ask where Perry is.

Monogram sends Perry out on his mission, and he uses a magic wand to make an exit, which astounds Monogram, though it was just a trick.

Candace has enlisted Stacy and Jenny in the day's attempt to stop the boys, but Stacy shakes her confidence when she asks if she can get her bodysuit in pink. Jenny suggests that if they help Candace, she'll get over her busting issues, and the three begin their "busting" training in a montage similar to Charlie's Angels.

At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Norm accidentally spills coffee on Doofenshmirtz's lap, naturally causing him pain and irritation. A package arrives for him, and he's excited about receiving a new "nemesis toy". Perry had hidden in the box and kicks Doof in the face after wondering if the "toy" lays eggs. Doof restrains Perry with a Straightjacket-inator and shows him a new robot that is much smaller, sleeker and more efficient than Norm. Norm overhears Doof's put-downs and becomes broken-hearted.

Candace runs through the final gameplay with Stacy and Jenny, setting up their positions and assigning them roles for maximum swiftness and efficiency at busting Phineas and Ferb. They successfully perform a drill and get back to scouting for Linda.

After creating large mechanized Spinning Tops, the kids (with the exception of Buford) each climb into their own Top and proceed to start bumping into each other, laughing playfully. Buford still thinks the game is lame and tries to liven things up by increasing the Tops' radiant power source, thereby causing them to spin wildly out of control. The radiant power sends powerful energy waves across Danville, causing problems to citizens, as well as shorting out both Jenny and Stacy's headsets, making them unable to communicate with Candace.

Doofenshmirtz's little robot is also affected by the radiant power, causing it to evolve into a large mecha that threatens to destroy him. Perry attempts to stop the rampage and save Doofenshmirtz, but he's catapulted out of the building. Monogram contacts him, ordering him to seek out the source of the sudden power wave and put a stop to it. Doof, meanwhile, falls to the mercy of his decontrolled robot, and Norm "accidentally" spills coffee onto it, causing it to short circuit and collapse. Doofenshmirtz happily thanks Norm for coming to his aid. It is also revealed that Norm runs on squirrel power, which is why he wasn't affected by the power surge. Doof then contemplates reading Norm's operation manual.

Linda arrives home, and Candace is quick to drag her to the backyard gate. She waits in vain for her friends' signal, but their headsets are broken and they must dodge the Spinning Tops to avoid grievous bodily harm. The kids, now uncomfortable with spinning wildly out of control, eject from their machines, and the Tops are sent flying into the sky. Perry arrives, rips off the power button of the radiant power machine, and dashes off in the blink of an eye. Linda enters the backyard and sees the kids playing with the board game. Stacy and Jenny ramble to her about the mechanized tops, and Candace tells them to knock it off. Linda offers them pie, and everyone is happy to accept.

Goofs[]

  • When Baljeet ejects from his top, his top has two buttons while everyone else's tops only have one eject button.
  • Stacy and Jenny's headphones were affected by the radiation but Candace's headphones were not affected. It might be because Candace wasn't in the backyard at the time.
  • When the Spinning tops flew away, Isabella's is violet instead of pink.
  • Linda said she was going to check on her roast even though that was RIGHT when she got home.
  • When the robot reveals its face for the first time, the sleeves on Perry's straitjacket are missing, thus revealing his arms.

Trivia[]

  • Baljeet greets Candace saying "Namastē" (Hello in Hindi).
  • This is the first episode where there is no shown reason as to why one of the boys' inventions disappeared.
  • The title is a parody of the movie Ghostbusters. A parody of the franchise's familiar logo is also seen.
  • Candace, Stacy, and Jenny strike a dramatic pose with an explosion in the background, mimicking the opening credits to the 1970's crime series Charlie's Angels.
  • Jenny appears out of a secret tunnel like the one in the 1960's World War II comedy Hogan's Heroes.
  • Isabella mentions being able to move mountains, a common expression of doing the impossible.
  • Norm saying "Now I know I have a heart ... because it's breaking" is a line from the film The Wizard of Oz; the line is spoken by the Tin Woodman.
  • Baljeet calls the game he brought with him "Spinning Tops of Doom." Coincidentally, there are giant tops in the Kim Possible episode The New Ron that have the exact same name.
