I absolutely love how dry Phineas could have been. Even in the theme song, he was dryer and way more sarcastic. I would watch an entire episode where Phineas was sarcastic and a condescending jerk.

[@cheetoschrist5685]

[@harasen_haras5]

It's fun to see this alternate version, but I think I prefer the sweeter Phineas we ended up getting... and the Isabella who chooses to be help along when Phineas and Ferb are busy.

[@CoopsieDaisies]

Everyone's saying "Phineas is more sarcastic here, I kinda like it more than how he is in the actual show" and although I like it too, I don't think the show would be the same if Phineas wasn't as oblivious and optimistic. In my opinion, it works much better as a contrast to the sarcasm their mom already has and Candace's teenage anxiety. Yeah it's kind of "generic optimistic cartoon protagonist" but idk, he's his own flavor of that amongst the other characters.

[@litalhaupt]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@Deepslate3D]

Its just dqn povenmire's voice

[@branlex1315]

@The Flying Scotsman !!! Maybe, on thr other hand seeing him this way would have been very interesting

[@GeoffreyGentryMusic]

That was worth 21 minutes of my time. I've actually got a few observations: 1. I wonder how they ended up changing "Meddleshmitrz" to "Doofenshmirtz". 2. It's so weird hearing Dr. D say "I'll get you!!!" instead of "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!!!" 3. I also found it interesting that Dan had the voice for Doofenshmirtz planned out before the others. You could tell he didn't just want to be executive producer. He wanted to get in on the action. 4. I think they could have left in the joke about the exits. And the one that goes "What a view".

[@MegaSpartan2008]

Hey Geoffrey! If you watch the Phineas and Ferb 2015 Comic Con, they answer the first question. If you want to find out why they changed it, Google what Meddleshmirtz loosely translates to.
