Shout Out / Milo Murphy's Law

Phineas and Ferb

• "Rooting For the Enemy": A voice off-screen mentions Football X7.
• In "Murphy's Lard", we're told that Melissa was almost crushed by a roller coaster falling from the sky on the first day of summer.
• "The Substitute":
  • One of the zoetropes features Klimpaloon. He also features in the titular teacher's Disney Acid Sequence.
  • The Periodic Table includes Pizzazium Infinionite, in its proper location in the lower right of the table.
• "We're Going To The Zoo!":
  • One of Mrs. Murphy's Rock Band T-Shirts is for Love Handel, and another is for Lindana.
  • Milo has a set of pajamas that look like Perry. When he shows them, Perry's theme briefly plays. Sara questions why the pajamas are teal instead of brown.
  • Dakota mentions "a potted plant" as something that could potentially sabotage the pistachio protectors' mission, a reference to the time that Dr. Doofenshmirtz was foiled by a potted plant.
  • The pursuit of the t-shirts takes Milo, Zack, and Sara down some abandoned and derelict ski jumps clearly labelled as "Danville Ski Slopes".
  • At the end of a bet, Dakota has to dance with pistachios in his pants, causing squirrels to get in them. An instrumental of S.I.M.P. is played during this scene.
• In "The Llama Incident", there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it poster for Llamacoaster: The Musical.
• In "Missing Milo":
  • The girl in the comic book shop is reading a Ducky Momo comic.
  • Dakota and Cavendish have a discussion about whether Cavendish is flooding (as in failing to start) a vehicle, which happens again in "Fungus Among Us". Phineas and Ferb have the same exchange in "Summer Belongs to You!"
• In "World Without Milo", a truck driver sings the song "Meatloaf".
• In "Love Toboggan", Milo sings a parody of "Boat of Romance", a song from Phineas and Ferb.
• In "The Island of Lost Dakotas", Milo mentions that shoelace tips are called aglets, a fact that was the focus of the Phineas and Ferb episode "Tip of the Day".
• In "Fungus Among Us", Dakota declares that "I'm handsome", a possible reference to a song sung by Dr. Doofenshmirtz (who shares the same voice actor).
• "Milo's Halloween Scream-a-Torium!":
  • Zack asks, "Aren't we a little too old to be dressing up for Halloween?", a reference to the "Aren't you a little young?" Running Gag in Phineas and Ferb.
  • After plunging into a snowdrift, Savannah's hair falls over her face, making her resemble the "Grievance Girl", a horror movie character in Phineas and Ferb.
  • One of the trick-or-treating children wears a costume that looks like Perry the Platypus.
  • At one point, Cavendish and Dakota don costumes that resemble Phineas and Ferb.
• In "A Christmas Peril", instrumentals of both "S'Winter" and "Candace Party" can be heard.
• One pair of students participating in "Cake 'Splosion!" comes from Badgertown Middle School. Badgertown was referenced in "It's a Mud, Mud, Mud, Mud World", and even visited in "Der Kinderlumper".
• In "Picture Day," the school marquee displays the text "THERE ARE ONLY 82 DAYS IN SUMMER VACATION AND THAT'S 104 DAYS AWAY." Of course, Phineas and Ferb's intro starts with "There's 104 days of summer vacation..."
• "Disco Do-Over":
  • Dakota and Cavendish have to collect lawn gnomes that look just like the ones in Phineas and Ferb. One of them even comes directly from Drusselstein.
  • Doofenshmirtz has been chosen to be the judge in a roller disco dance competition Brigette and Martin signed up for, due to a popular video of him on the internet. Said video is the same embarassing video that had been leaked in "Tip of the Day".
• By the end of the episode "The Ticking Clock", Victor Verliezer, stuck in a ball of chewing gum, gets flown towards the 28th Annual Subtitute Teacher Day meeting. The 27th one was held in "Summer Belongs To You", and features almost the exact same group of teachers (except for the last one, who was replaced by Ms. Baxter from Milo Murphy's Law episode "The Substitute").
• When Doofenshmirtz's papers describing his unlucky experiences clogs up the school bus in "Milo's Shadow", he notes some of his experiences, including getting hit by a tin foil ball ("Rollercoaster"), and being tied to a birthday rocket ("Dude, We're Getting The Band Back Together!").
• In "Adventure Buddies", when Doofenshmirtz describes himself as a third wheel, Scott responds that it's more like he (Scott) and Mildred are on a bicycle and Dr. D is on a unicycle. The same response as Candace gave in "The Baljeatles" when Stacey claimed to feel like a third wheel.
• The Chicken Replace-Inator from "What a Croc!" (and later Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe) makes an appearance in "The Goulash Legacy", and a miniature version does in "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space".

Misc

  • Bradley unhappily greets Milo with, "Hello... Mi-lo," in a manner similar as between Jerry and Newman.

• From "Murphy's Lard" we're told "Never get out of the boat. Absolutely right." (also applies to donuts.)
  • In the same episode, the name of the coaster is Greased Thunder. How can thunder be greased? The same way you grease lightning.
• Veronica, Milo's former babysitter, rode off in armor on an ostrich, a reference to the '80s game, ' Joust''.
  • From the same episode, Zach badgers Melissa with a stuffed badger. Much like Matt Smith did to Karen Gillan.
• In "The Substitute, the sentient blob is susceptible to being frozen.
• In "School Dance", Amanda looking for the missing loafer's owner ^note it belongs to Milo is a parody of Cinderella and the glass slipper.
• And in "The Llama Incident", there's a whole neighborhood of posters for Broadway shows remade for llamas, and Melissa mentions a couple more. Examples include: Annie Get Your Llama, Hello Dolly Llama, Death of a Sales-Llama and Llamalet. Later the Swan Llama Ballet is also seen.
• In "The Math Book" Milo, Melissa, and Zack walk through a cobwebby corridor before Milo has some Halloween decoration spiders on his shoulder which he calmly brushes off with a cord.

• In "Perchance to Sleepwalk", Dakota mentions a movie called Neptune Needs Women.
• In "Fungus Among Us":
  • When Milo explains his favourite episode of Dr. Zone, a SpongeBob SquarePants-styled time card shows up saying "two hours later". It's even read in a flat French accent, like the show itself.
  • When it's decided to time travel to 1965, Dakota has an Imagine Spot of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, creeping out everyone else. (But he's thinking of the wrong year, as the series started in 1968.)
  • Derek’s backstory (surviving his race’s extinction by being removed from the timestream and subsequently planning to revive his race) is reminiscent of Doctor Who's Cult of Skaro, a group of Daleks.
• In "Star Struck", the Show Within a Show Milly and the Menninkainen is drawn in the style of The Smurfs (1981).
• In "The Phineas And Ferb Effect":
  • When Candace first appears, she is playing a came called Ducky Mo-Go, which bears a striking resemblance to a certain other game with "Go" in the title.
  • The 70s-style funk song "How Do I Do It?" appears to be a straight up parody of Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, complete with Milo, Melissa, Zack, Phineas and Ferb wearing the same getups from the music video.
• "Picture Day" features two animal cameo characters: Recurring Raccoon, which may be a parody of Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy, and Zippy the world's fastest koala, a possible parody of Kwicky Koala.
• "The Mid-Afternoon Snack Club" is as a whole a parody on The Breakfast Club in name and plot, and the characters know it.
• In "Parks and Wreck", Milo mentions Hamilton H. County, the less popular brother of Jefferson G. County. When Principal Milder asks why she's never heard of him, Milo explains that "his enemies destroyed his rep and America forgot him."
• The episode title "Sphere and Loathing in Outer Space" is a play on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the eponymous opening theme appears to be in a similar style of 1960s James Bond opening numbers.
