I recently checked out PHINEAS AND FERB, and it's actually way better than I expected. But one thing stuck out to me above all the show's idiosyncrasies: Why hasn't Dr. Doofenshmirtz been arrested? He's obviously a villain, and his plans are so easy to thwart. Well, Loyal Theorists, I've uncovered the answer: Doofenshmirtz is unwittingly helping the OWCA the whole time!

Doof is also basically getting free therapy. Everytime he makes an inator and Perry comes to destroy it, Perry lets himself get captured and waits until Doof lets all his pain out, and then foils his plans. Most backstories he’s shared, never get brought back up when making another inator. With Perry’s help (if that’s what Dan and Swampy intend), Doof is (VERY) little by little getting over his past.

Fun Fact: the average cartoon has 52 episodes, since each episode has 2 parts, that would be 104 parts, and since each part takes place on a different day, that is 104 days, which is why the theme song says "104 days" but after the original 52 episodes the series got approval for more episodes so this doesn't make very much sense

[@austinhemmelgarn1956]

Nope, that’s actually the reason it’s 104 days. The typical Disney Channel series at the time ran for two 26 episode seasons plus a few odd specials, and the creators assumed originally that Phineas and Ferb would be the same (and that they would do a few episodes where there was only one story done in two parts), which balances out to the 104 days. They were obviously wrong as it went for four seasons including four specials, plus two movies and a post-series extra, but they just decided to keep the original opening in spite of this.

We know it’s not at all though. The O.W.C.A. Files take place after the original show, and before the events of Milo Murphy’s Law, this was confirmed by the creator. Not sure why but when this video came out that fact wasn’t clear yet.

[@carolinewinn7661]

It’s said throughout the show that Perry is the best in his field, and it’s shown he’s pretty skilled, which makes you wonder while watching why he’s fighting Doof, because he isn’t really evil. This explanation makes sense, because they’d probably only intrust their best agent with the mission (Also I saw a comment saying that Perry was like Doof’s support animal to help with his childhood trauma, and I think that’s also a good explanation)

[@hunterofdarkness8329]

Realizing, if they sent another agent there's no doubt they wouldn't even lay a hand on Doof, probably, because of how some of his inventions could really fucked up a person if they are hit with it. only reason Perry is still okay is that he's flexible to doge, fast to react and insanely lucky that even after being hit a minute later he's reverted to normal

[@blackjackdaw7865]

There is also this one thing in Milo Murphy's law SPOILER . . . . . . . . . Doof is Profesor Time (not sure if thats his name in English version) so he invented time travels, interdimesional travels and in every episode he invents something new. He is brilliant scientist and inventor. Some of his inventions could actually save lives if used in that way. The whole future depends on him inventin time travels as we see with Cavendish and Dakota. When they meet him they are surprised that he is Profesor Time, but at the end of the day he is the one who saves them from apocalypse. Here the mutated plant's invasion. And in Phineash and Ferb it was with that place that if you go into or throw something into everyone forgets about it's existence. (Their parents litterally forgot about EVER having any children) And who figured it out and fixed it? DOCTOR HEINZ DOOFERSMITHS a little too long, I know Sorry. _.

If you want to keep pressing this theory, you can say that OWCA additionally tries to tie some of their agents such as Perry, and Pinkie with owners who they know are brilliant-minded. For example in the movie where Phineas and Ferb travel to the second dimension, we see the backstory of how OWCA was responsible for giving up the young Perry to young Phineas and Ferb, showing they have complete control over what owner each agent receives. Heck by the end of that movie Monty reveals that OWCA has been able to replicate EVERY invention Phineas and Ferb has ever created, using those inventions to fight the evil Doofenshmirtz from the second dimension at the end of the movie. Additionally, we know that agent Pinkie was assigned to Isabella who not only is the leader of her troop but is also very intelligent and strong just like Phineas (which is why they make an amazing couple lmao). But HEY, thats just a theory, a COMMENT theory, thanks for reading.

[@trla6505]

I agree with each word you said

[@elisiumlol]

Wow, that's a genius theory. And it makes a lot of sense!

[@thanhduong3346]

Which is probably why phinese and ferb and dr. Doof never ran out of money. OWCA might have secretly funded phinese's construction companies and Doof's wife!

[@LoganWH8]

They didn’t really control P&F getting Perry. They ran the pet shop, but Phineas and Ferb CHOSE Perry. Carl was actually surprised that they chose a platypus.

[@kaziislam2785]

Adrianna Arcuri they didn’t really control who got what. They had a pet store where they sold the animals to whoever wants them. I mean, why would they want two agents to be stationed RIGHT next door to each other. And maybe Pinkie and Perry were just lucky to be owned by leaders and innovators.

[@swift_sa]

[@chisae_]

Another THEORY: Perry is the mastermind behind the "coincidental" and "lucky" disappearances of all Phineas and Ferb's inventions. Perry always finds a way to use Doof's inventions to do this, every single time Phineas and Ferb build something. Which is why he always comes home right after the inventions have disappeared. (Very convenient) . But overall, this could be another reason why the OWCA hasn't arrested Doof. Perry needs to remain Phineas and Ferbs pet, in order to have a foster home, so he can keep spying on Doof. Thus Perry has to prevent Phineas and Ferb from being busted. Its all a cycle of benefit. But Doofs inventions are the key in all of this. And Doof is actually the hero.

[@wilsonmatke115]

Actually the team that created Phineas and Ferb said that this theory isn't true and that the reason Doofenshmirtz and Phineas have the same head shape is because they're supposed to contrast each other in that Doofenshmirtz is a genius but always fails his plans, and Phineas is a genius that succeeds in his plans. Plus, Doof only dated Phineas' mom on the one date that was shown in that flashback and there was nothing else about that.

[@Max501]

Emma Brook The creators of the show explained that was a character design choice. Triangle head characters are really smart for the show. Like the bully type have no neck. Doesn't mean they are related.
