Phineas and Ferb: 15 best episodes to rewatch on Disney Plus

Check out the best episodes of Phineas and Ferb on Disney Plus

Created by Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, Phineas and Ferb helped define a lot of millennials’ childhoods.

With the new movie, Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the Universe scheduled to come to Disney Plus this summer, now is a good time to look back at the series.

Below, we shared a list of the 15 best episodes of Phineas and Ferb in chronological order, that you should rewatch on Disney Plus right now.

“Rollercoaster” (season 1, episode 1)

The one that started it all, “Rollercoaster” was the very first episode of Phineas and Ferb way back in 2007. It set the tone for every episode that followed, and introduced us to Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Isabella, Perry, Doofenshmirtz, and more. This is the episode that hooked a generation of viewers, and it’s practically begging for you to watch it again.

“Flop Starz” (season 1, episode 3)

The first episode of the series to feature a music number, “Flop Starz” gave us the dangerously catchy song “Gitchee Gitchee Goo.” The show’s songs are one of its most praised elements, and this is the episode to thank for all of them. And we get to see a pair of 10-year-olds go through an entire pop music career that ends with a heartwarming performance by Phineas, Ferb, and Candace.

“Raging Bully” (season 1, episode 6)

Yet another season 1 entry on the list, “Raging Bully” introduced viewers to Buford, everyone’s favorite bully since Johnny Lawrence. This episode featured an iconic spoof of an ‘80s sports movie training montage that still holds up, as well as one of the best of Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s tragic backstories: neither of his parents showed up to his birth.

“It’s a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World” (season 1, episode 18)

What’s the best way to teach a teenager to parallel park? Monster trucks, obviously. This episode gives a great display of the kids’ relationship with their dad, who goes along with all of their crazy antics. It’s also a phenomenal example of Phineas and Ferb supporting Candace and helping her succeed, as opposed to the usual dynamic of Candace trying to bust her brothers.

“Comet Kermillian” (season 1, episode 35)

The main plot of this episode isn’t anything too special. Phineas and Ferb build a giant telescope to view a passing comet. The best part of this episode is the side plot with Candace and Jeremy, which gave us the ever so iconic song “S.I.M.P. (Squirrels in my Pants).” Watch it with your friend who’s way too obsessed over that girl who’s out of his league (let’s hope that joke ages well).

“The Chronicles of Meap” (season 2, episode 12)

Phineas and Ferb have encountered extraterrestrial beings on numerous occasions, and this episode features the cutest one: Meap. A space cop no bigger than a pit bull, Meap is adorable beyond compare. This episode also features one of the best songs from the whole series, “My Ride From Outer Space,” a rare Ferb solo where he puts the moves on Vanessa Doofenshmirtz.

“Vanessassary Roughness” (season 2, episode 22)

What’s that? You wanted more of Ferb and Vanessa? Well lucky for you, the next entry on the list is all about Ferb trying to impress Vanessa. Their first extended interaction in the series, Ferb, the man of action, tries to help Vanessa locate a capsule of Pizzazium Infinionite for her dad. Unfortunately for Ferb, a lot of different characters stand in the way of his grand romantic gesture, namely, Candace, Stacey, and Baljeet.

This episode also features the brilliantly empowering song, “I’m Me,” sung by Vanessa, with Ferb on the instrumentals.

“Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!” (season 2, episode 54)

The first one-hour special of the series, this episode was a big deal. Phineas, Ferb, and friends attempt to travel all around the world in just a single day, an ambitious feat for anyone, let alone for a couple of kids. And the stakes are high: Buford bets them that if they can’t make it all around the world in one day, they have to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing.

As they travel, they’re accompanied by Candace, who seeks to define her relationship with Jeremy. This is just one of three romantic subplots in the episode, as Ferb and Vanessa also get some time together, and Isabella tries to win Phineas’ heart. There’s a lot to love in this one-hour special.

“Nerds of a Feather” (season 2, episode 55)

This episode explores the conflict between sci-fi and fantasy nerds. Taking place at a comic-con-like convention, Phineas and Ferb find themselves on opposite sides of an ensuing war between fans of science fiction and fans of fantasy. This episode also features one of the most entertaining Perry and Doofenshmirtz side plots, “Doof ‘n’ Puss,” a TV series that Doofenshmirtz proposes to a producer.

“Wizard of Odd” (season 2, episode 56)

Wow, three consecutive top picks in a row! A Candace-centric episode, “Wizard of Odd” is a spoof on, you guessed it, The Wizard of Oz. With Candace filling in for Dorothy, Dr. Doofenshmirtz as the Wicked Witch, and Perry as Toto, this is a weird and entertaining take on the classic film. And it’s always refreshing to get an episode that’s focused entirely on Candace and her own adventures.

“A Real Boy” (season 3, episode 15)

Norm, Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s giant robot assistant, has been around since the first season. But “A Real Boy” gives him the attention he deserves. All Norm wants is to be loved by his creator, Dr. D., as a son. But the Doof ignores Norm’s efforts, prompting him to sing the song “Real Boy.” If you never thought you’d get emotional over an overly polite robot, this song will make you feel otherwise.

“Meapless in Seattle” (season 3, episode 41)

Three years after “The Chronicles of Meap,” we finally got the long anticipated sequel. As the opening text scroll explains, the show’s creators never planned to actually make this into a real episode, but they eventually obliged the fans’ requests. “Meapless in Seattle” brings back the cutest creature in the universe, Meap, for another mission with our favorite step-brothers.

“Bully Bromance Breakup” (season 3, episode 38)

The toxic bromances to end all toxic bromances comes to an end in this heartbreaking episode. Baljeet decides he’s had enough bullying from Buford and ends their friendship., declaring “I am no longer your nerd.” The episode also shows how Phineas acts when he doesn’t get to build anything, and it’s hilarious to watch him get more and more irritated.

“Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars” (season 4, episode 41)

In the most ambitious crossover event of all time, audiences are treated to a continuity where Phineas and Ferb are Force-sensitive and grew up on Tatooine alongside Luke Skywalker. Taking place during A New Hope, this unique episode sees Phineas, Ferb, and friends fight aboard the Death Star with lightsabers and lasers, all while somehow avoiding breaking any established Star Wars continuity.

“Act Your Age” (season 4, episode 47)

If you don’t want to cry, avoid this episode. Taking place 10 years in the future, “Act Your Age” shows life 10 years down the road for our characters and answers all the questions you’ve had for the past few years, along with some you never even thought to ask. Where does Phineas go to college? Who does Ferb end up with? Does Buford become a pretentious film student? And perhaps the biggest question of them all, do Phineas and Isabella end up together?
