Perry the Platypus and a Canadian agent named Lyla Lolliberry must set differences aside to stop Lolliberry's nemesis Professor Bannister from stealing one of Canada's most prized treasures, Precious Albert the Moose (the symbol of Canada's national pride).
Tropes:
- Ac CENT On The Wrong Syl LA Ble: Lyla, being Canadian and unfamiliar with Doof's schemes, tells Perry to get that "inator", putting emphasis on the first syllable, and Doof says, "It's pronounced 'inator'!"
- Action Girl: Lyla Lolliberry.
- Affectionate Nickname: Lyla calls Agent P "P" for short.
- Alliterative Name: Lyla Lolliberry. She describes her Family as alliterative, suggesting the other Lolliberries also have given names that start with "L".
- Artistic License – History: Two Canadian lunkheads show off their national pride by shouting, "Way to go, Constitutional Act of 1864!" However, the actual Constitutional Act was passed in 1867.
- Bait-and-Switch: When the train becomes out-of-control because Doof's inator was destroyed, it seems like Lyla is hot-wiring the train to make it slow down or stop. Doof says they are not slowing down, to which Lyla replies she was actually turning on the hazards since the brakes are too far gone.Lyla: Safety first!
- Brick Joke: When Doof escapes from the lavatory, Lyla is more concerned that Doof left the toilet seat up. (See Skewed Priorities) Later, when Doof accidentally falls into the newly installed escape hatch on the train, he also complains about "some joker" leaving the seat up when he falls into the toilet.
- The Cavalry: Perry calls on Peter the Panda, who is stationed in Seattle near the Canadian border, to capture Professor Bannister.Professor Bannister: Jinx you, Lyla Lolliberry! Jinx you!
- Cloudcuckoolander: Professor Bannister. After trapping Lyla and Perry, he reveals his true plan to annex Canada into Greenland by stealing its symbol of national pride (Precious Albert the Moose) in order to demoralize Canadians of their heritage and raise up Greenlandic national pride. However, the only reaction to this is a simple criticizing speech from Doofenshmirtz (who is a Cloudcuckoolander himself):Doofenshmirtz: You're from Greenland? Do you know the punishment for mis-representing your country of origin to the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. organization? Plus, your scheme is unnecessarily complicated and doesn't even seem like it would work! And that's coming from me!
- A Day in the Limelight: For Perry.
- Demoted to Extra:
- Lyla, as she later made a cameo in the episode "Just Our Luck".
- Phineas, Ferb and their friends, as this episode is largely centered around Perry.
- Enemy Eats Your Lunch: Perry and Lyla utilize this to escape Doofenshmirtz' "societal convention" trap by eating his fries and causing him to make a scene in front of the passangers.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Professor Bannister's scheme is so dumb that even Doofenshmirtz points out it's idiotic. The irony isn't lost on him.
- The Faceless: During the Phineas and Ferb segments, the characters are only shown from neck down, to maintain Perry's perspective. Phineas and Ferb's faces are shown at the end when Perry comes home.
- Failed a Spot Check: One of the mooks in the beginning wears his eye mask between his nose and mouth, all but exposing his identity. The mook next to him calls him out on it silently and he fixes it.
- Fun with Acronyms: O.W.C.A. (Organization Without a Cool Acronym) and C.O.W.C.A. (Canadian Organization Without a Cool Acronym).
- Gratuitous Foreign Language: When escaping the helicopter, Professor Bannister yells out, "Farväl!" Lyla is confused by this, but Bannister explains it is goodbye in Swedish, one of the languages spoken in Greenland.
- Gratuitous French: Canada's bilingualism policy is parodied when the bad guys run through the boom barrier between Seattle and Canada and a border patrol officer says, "Hey, you can't do that!" When Perry follows them, the border patrol officer says, "Hey! The same thing but in French!"
- Handcar Pursuit: Lyla and Perry use a handcar to catch up with the train after getting knocked off.
- Holiday Episode: This episode takes place on Canada Day, which is July 1. Incidentally, this episode premiered on July 1 in Canada.
- I Work Alone: Perry feels that way since Lyla sabotaged his previous mission in Seattle that caused three criminals to escape, and 2 months later, he was very apprehensive in working with her. However, he soon changes his tunes when he found out that the criminals are working for Bannister and that Lyla only let them escape because they would lead her and Perry to Bannister's real plan to annex Canada into Greenland. Following the arrest of Bannister and the criminals, Perry reconciles with Lyla.
- Jurisdiction Friction: When Perry first enters Canada to catch the criminals, he's stopped by Agent Lolliberry and Major Monogram orders him to return since they don't have jurisdiction there.
- Knee-High Perspective: Due to the majority of the episode being shown from Perry's perspective, any character not part of his subplot is only seen from the chin-down, save for Phineas and Ferb in the final scene.
- Lampshaded the Obscure Reference: While pummeling Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Lyla shouts "This is for William Hull and the War of 1812
! Look it up, kids!" - Letting the Air out of the Band: During the credits, when Monogram explains that the Greenland flag was made for a flag designing contest in the 80s and verifies the truth of that fact.
- Lured into a Trap: Doof doesn't trap Perry like he usually does, because he explains that Perry already is trapped by societal convention, since everyone knows not to make a big scene on a train. Lyla catches on to this. However, she constantly bugs Doof for some of his fries. When they notice how irate this makes him, they constantly put their hands onto Doof's fries until Doof finally yells for them to "GET YOUR OWN FRIES!!!!"Woman on train: That man is causing a such a scene in here, it makes me wanna break up with you in a VERY LOUD MANNER!!!
Waiter': I can't stand being a waiter!! - Midquel: The episode appears to take place during the time of "Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo" as the boys were seen building the superstructure.
- Moose and Maple Syrup: The show is basically 22 full minutes of Canada jokes. Though it helps that Lyla Lolliberry and Professor Bannister are voiced by Samantha Bee and Kevin McDonald, who are actually Canadian. Bee's husband, Jason Jones, who is also Canadian, plays some minor characters. Other Canadian actors providing additional voices include Rino Romano and Eric Bauza.
- Non-Action Guy: Professor Bannister, as he flatly watches the fights between his robots and the agents.
- The Reveal: Professor Bannister comes from Greenland instead of Canada as initially assumed, as he planned to annex Canada into Greenland to reinvigorate Greenland's low national pride.
- Rule of Symbolism: Lampshaded when Lyla points out she and Perry won't get anywhere with both the handcar and the mission unless they learn to work together. She even gets a line in her song about how "A handcar is a metaphor for life."
- Runaway Train: Doof foolishly and proudly shows his inator on the roof of the train, but when they go through a tunnel, the inator is destroyed, making the train go out of control.
- Series Continuity Error: This episode takes place on Canada Day, although in "The Bully Code", Monogram apologized to Agent P for calling him in to work on Canada Day.
- Shout-Out: The ending at Niagara Falls parodies the Bellagio scene from Ocean's Eleven, though Monogram eats a piece of candy instead of smoking a cigar. Like the original scene, it is accompanied by Debussy's "Clair de Lune." At the end, eleven men are seen at the stand further parodying the scene.
- Shown Their Work: Despite taking a few swipes at Greenland, they do manage to play Greenland's actual national anthem, "Nunarput, utoqqarsuanngoravit".
- Skewed Priorities: After Doof escapes from the train's lavatory, Lyla seems more concerned about Doof leaving the seat up.
- Spit Take: Precious Albert the Moose spits his tea out on his butler when he sees the passengers clamoring into his train car.
- Stylistic Suck: During the "Helicopter Fight" song, at one point, the singer suggests that seeing an actual fight between helicopters would be cool, so they show one, in the style of old-timey rubber hose animation. Turns out it looked better in the singer's head.
- The Stinger: During the credits, Major Monogram apologizes on behalf of the series for all the negative Greenland stereotypes, and yet, makes no mention of all the Canadian stereotypes.
- This Is No Time to Panic: Lyla appears to weaponize this by telling passengers on the loudspeaker there is no need to panic to get them into the caboose with Precious Albert the Moose.
- Time Skip: There's a two-month-skip after the prologue.
- Traintop Battle: Lampshaded; Perry and Lyla follow Dr. Doofenshmirtz onto the roof of the train, and Doofenshmirtz makes the Aside Comment "You knew we'd end up here eventually."
- Unishment: Candace tells her mother that if there's nothing in the backyard, she'll clean the bathroom, but Linda says she was supposed to do that anyway. Serves as a Brick Joke at the end when she ends up cleaning the bathroom when there's nothing in the backyard.
