Phineas and Ferb- Perry the Platypus and Doctor DoofenshirtzAsk Agent P:
Anonymous asked you:
"Hey Agent P! How would you react if Dr. D showed up singing your theme song?"
"Sheesh, Perry the Platypus, what's with you and your Frank Sinatra slash 30's-esque fantasies? You weren't even BORN then. Heck *I* wasn't even born then!"

Doof just built an inator- your argument is invalid. Besides, he THINKS he always looks good. XD

Thank you! He works white really well. And looks good in a purple shirt, apparently. LOL. i have no idea why my head-perry has some obsession with Frank Sinatra. But I love imagining Perry having this fantasy of doof singing beautifully, only to have reality be that he butchers the song. XD

Ha, totally! And Perry must be dreaming; Doof can't sing worth anything. XD

He can sing! ...Just not in a traditional sense. XD I have a ton of his songs on my computer, though.

Ha, thats great! I can't stand his singing voice though. Though it guess it takes all kinds. XD

LOL, I need to watch this show more often, if only to see more Doofy!

Doofenshmirtz and Perry are my favorite. Though, the whole show is actually good. Even with the kids.

I think those two are EVERYBODY'S favorite.

Aw, Doof looks so handsome in that suit.

Doof can pull off most outfits.

I totally agree with you on that one. My personal favorites are his Karate outfit from "Nerds of a Feather" and his Exercise outfit from "Candace Disconnected."
Plus, he's kind of cute when he cross-dresses.

No need to blush. I actually agree. Yes, it's ridiculous...but in a weird way, he can work dresses and the like.XD

Yes, yes he can. Sorry for the late reply.

Love this question since Doofy sang his theme in front of his bathroom mirror in an ep

I was tempted in making it a direct reference from the show for this. Buuuuut...I figured you guys would prefer me making my own jokes rather than just steeling from the show.
Also, Doof being obsessed with Perry is just generally hilarious. He sings his songs in the bathroom, wears him on his boxers...

He wears him on his boxers? I must've missed that one, LOL!

He does! Watch this episode to see: [link]

LOL!! "I had these WAY before I met you."!
Thank you for linking! Trivia: My first time seeing it in English (that I recall - I think it was out in America already before I left, but I never watched it back then). I can say the German voices are pretty dang close then (and, yeah, Doofenshmirtz has an odd accent in German too... I haven't been able to place it - and his obsession with calling everything "-inator" is also present).

Hearing the voices are very similar makes me happy. Though I always wondered how Doof's accent translated in the German version. Since it's canon in English that he's German. How do the jokes translate?

"Since it's canon in English that he's German."
It is? I can't remember it ever being said in the series itself.

I don't see any source for that info.
Apart from that German is at least widely spoken there.
But Germany is hardly the only country where they speak that language.

I'm kinda assuming Druelselstein is a small country. Like Latveria, Syldavia, Uberwald etc. There's many cases of authors making up small European countries, and the series tends to go with such tropes.

I'm honestly pleased by that too. I could've closed my eyes whilst watching the English eppy and still known who was actually doing the talking, heehee!
Doof has nearly the *same* scratchy, high-pitched voice in German (so dang close that it almost could've been the same VO, LOL!).. How they handle his accent, well, he over ennunciates and uses some pronunciations for syllables that are older (but mostly not too noticable to me, honestly).
The jokes, I'm honestly not sure because I haven't seen enough episodes in English (have not seen a single episode in German that I've seen in English). He does, however, specifically call Perry "Perry der Schnabeltier" (Lit. "Perry the Platypus" in German) all the time, instead of just "Perry", like he did in the episode you showed me. I'm sure that most jokes can actually be translated without much problem, it'd be a question of puns (in which case, they'd have to change the joke then). I'll have to see if I can find a German clip of a scene with them for you (not that you'd understand, but hearing the voices might be interesting - you might have a finer ear for the English voice comparison than I).
The songs (which are translated), far as I can tell, are well done and don't sound stupid or awkward in German.
Ferb has the most different voice, as far as I can tell. He just sounds a little younger in English, but otherwise both voices are soft with a slight boyish 'rumble' to it. Phineus, again, could almost be voiced by the same VO - the voices are SO close. Candace, too,(including her incredibly annoying laugh).
I can't remember, right off, how the bully and the little foreign boy he's always picking on sound in German. I'm thinking he's got a deeper voice than in English, but I'll have to check out a German episode to find out. Perhaps I can find one on Youtube and link you, in case you're curious.
I'll check out more episodes to generally get a better idea and... provide a better review/comparison. ('Cause I'm honestly curious, myself.) In general, I can say that the show seems very well done, rather than the German company finding the cheapest way to puke it out at kids, or else I likely wouldn't have gotten into it - nowadays, it's one of my fave shows. And, yeah, I enjoy both of the plots in each episode. My fave episode was the one where Doof's daughter showed up and Phineus helped her out (even though that wasn't such a good thing) - that was the episode that had me going "Okay, I love this show - it's very clever".

Yes he is and love those two together if only Perry got the hints Doofy was sending
