When Phineas and Ferb make a hair style machine to fix Candace's bad hairdo for the endangered animals benefit she's been invited to, she sets the machine to max power which causes her to be covered in hair and mistaken for the tangerine orangutan. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz creates a Very, Very Bad-inator out of his past inventions.
Tropes:
- Animal Lover: Jeremy's mother is revealed to be one.
- Artistic License – Art: Apparently, Myron's Discus Thrower was made with actual disc-throwing action.
- Bad Hair Day: Candace attempts to try something new with her hair after watching some tutorials on the internet. The result? A bad hair day.
- Borrowed Catchphrase: Stacy says "Hey, where's Perry?".Stacy: What? I'm, like, the only person who's never said it.
- Except, she did previously say it, in "Put That Putter Away".
- Chatty Hairdresser: Phineas acts this way toward Linda in an amusing exchange.Linda: So, you guys are hairstylists now?
Phineas: Apparently.
Linda: So what would you do with my hair?
Phineas: Nothing. It's perfect the way it is.
Linda: Wow, you are good!
Phineas: Girlfriend, please! - Continuity Cavalcade: The Very Very Bad-inator is made of the debris of Doof's old inators, which many eagle-eyed viewers will recognize.
- Failed a Spot Check: Mrs. Johnson somehow doesn't notice Candace's human mouth and nose on the "tangerine orangutan", something which primates completely lack because they have snouts and muzzles.
- Left the Background Music On: When Perry approaches Doofenshmirtz's lair, ominous pipe organ music is being played in the background. Turns out, Doofenshmirtz is playing the music on a pipe organ (in a possible Shout-Out to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time).
- Messy Hair: Candace's bad hairdo at the beginning.
- Musicalis Interruptus: Doof's song at the end is interrupted by him losing consciousness - which was to be expected, given the lyrics.
- Non Sequitur, *Thud*: After Doof gets shot with a tranq dart, he speaks this way.Doofenshmirtz: Hold the door, Barbara, I think this is our floor... Mama, I'm pretty...
- Not Hyperbole: During his dart fueled musical number Doof sings that he'll probably lose consciousness in 17 seconds. It proves to be right as he collapses right in the middle of the climax. In exactly 17 seconds too after he sings the word "consciousness"
- Or My Name Isn't...: "Fear not, helpless primate! Bright banquets of the Elysian vale will soon melt every care away, or my name isn't 'Hawkeye' Johnson!"
- Oven Logic: Candace reasons that if Phineas and Ferb's machine can fix her hair in 30 minutes on setting 5, it can do it in 10 seconds on setting 20. It works, but it causes the unintended side effect of extra hair growth.
- Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: "Perry the Platypus, did you just go 'gurgalingdung'?"
- Shot in the Ass: When Doofenshmirtz gets covered in Candace's hair, Jeremy's mom, still mistaking him for an orangutan, shoots him in the butt.
- Spit Take: Phineas and Ferb when they enter and see Candace's bad hair. Phineas notes they've been practicing their spit takes.
- Strangely Specific Horoscope:Doofenshmirtz: Shot in the butt with a dart while covered in honey and hair. What do you know, my horoscope was right. My beautiful... beautiful horoscope...
- The Unreveal: We never find out what the Very, Very Bad-inator does. Even Doofenshmirtz himself was frustrated by this.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Jeremy calling Candace and telling her he will be picking her up in ten minutes — before her hair was supposed to be done — is what leads to her setting the machine to max power, which leads to her growing hair all over her body and being mistaken for the tangerine orangutan.
- You Say Tomato: When the animal control guy asks Mrs. Johnson if she has a monkey that needs to be tranqued, Mrs. Johnson corrects him in that it is an orangutan.Animal Control Guy: Yeah, to-MAY-toe, po-TAH-toe, just leave it to the professionals.
