Phineas and Ferb Drinking Game (A Beta Test)
I think with the whole Angels-signing-Pujols-and-Wilson thing going on today, Lookout Landing could use a little extra levity. Since I know a number of you all are fans of the cartoon Phineas and Ferb, I will pass along the rules I've put together for the Phineas and Ferb drinking game.
Each player taking part in the drinking game chooses a character to play along with. So far I have conditions for Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry the Platypus, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and the Field.
Now, to the conditions:
Phineas
- He says, "I know what we're gonna do today."
- He asks, "Where's Perry?"
- When the "Aren't you a little young to..." gag is used.
- Isabella says "Whatcha Dooooin'?" (Also counts on the rare occasion he says it instead)
- Anyone makes a comment about his head shape.
- He says, "There you are, Perry."
Ferb
- Speaks (Not sings, speaks).
- Is alone in frame (or no other characters are distinguishable).
- Blinks, accompanied by sound effect.
- When his work or plans are praised by Phineas.
Candace
- She says, "Mom."
- She says, "Jeremy."
- We see Candace's friend on the other end of the phone.
Perry the Platypus
- Chatters.
- Pulls his hat out from hammerspace.
- Is trapped by Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
- Dr. Doofenshmirtz says, "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!"
Dr. Doofenshmirtz
- Says any word ending in "-inator."
- Says "Tri-State Area."
- Says "Perry the Platypus."
The Field
- Carl appears or is heard from.
- Mom is seen at her activity (i.e. playing bridge, cooking class, etc.).
- The Fireside Girls appear or are referenced.
- A Fireside Girl(s) earns a badge.
- There is a Plot Crossover (i.e. Vanessa and Ferb meet, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's wife and P&F's Mom meet, but NOT when Dr. Doofenshmirtz's device pulls a deus ex machina wiping out P&F's "thing of the day," leaving Mom looking at situation normal when she gets home).
- Giant Floating Baby Head appears.
- Buford does something un-bullylike.
Other Rules and Guidelines
- The opening doesn't count. Candace shouldn't drink at "Mom, Phineas and Ferb are making a title sequence!"
- Considering the frequency of each condition, drinks should probably have the alcohol content of a shot of beer if people don't want to get absolutely blitzed. Seriously, if you play these rules, you're going to need serious help if you do shots of liquor and you're playing as Doofenshmirtz or Candace. Drink responsibly. You may want to just have a drink in front of you and take sips.
- When the song of the episode is over, any player whose character sings must finish his/her drink.
- When Candace says "Mom" multiple times in succession, it may be treated as a single utterance.
- Any time a character switches direction on a comment. There's got to be a TV Tropes name for this, but I don't know it. (i.e. Candace is crying audibly, Phineas, outside her door, says "Oh my gosh, Ferb, I can't believe it, I've never noticed how soft our carpets are! ... But more importantly...), the player with that character drinks.
- Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz will often have very high drink quantities.
Since these rules are in Beta, let me know what you think. I think the Field needs some more conditions in order to be more consistent from episode to episode. Also, for some reason, Phineas seems to be a little lower than I want. Feel free to comment with additional conditions.
Have fun! And don't die, already.

Giant floating baby head wasn't introduced in the beginning though. Although it's awesome.
The appearance of “Gitchi Gitchi Goo” can be added. It’s supposed to be in one per episode. I also missed this on first read through: “Candace and Dr. Doofenshmirtz will often have very high drink quantities.” but I was going to point out this very thing. That’s like 7 beers in 11 minutes.

Excellent fanpost!
I’ve only caught a couple episodes of this, but I immediately caught on to why folks on here like it so much. Great show.
I think for field....
There should be a Baljeet rule of some sort. Maybe whenever he is a victim of bullying?
Although, that kind of is a “no-no” topic in this day and age….
This is a drinking game

Phineas seems to be very fixed.
That is, it would seem that he would typically hit between 4 and 6, with a rare 3 or 7. There must be a way to increase the variance.
Could get one every time Major Monogram calls him "Agent P."
That’s usually good for 1-3 per episode.

With Phineas you're pretty much guaranteed two with the Perry bookends.
It surprised me in play-testing how infrequently he says “I know what we’re gonna to today,” or “aren’t you a little young to…” gag is used. Phineas could use one or two more conditions, especially if one of them tends to happen multiple times an episode.

"Misses Isabella being flirty."
“Doesn’t smile and/or acts scared about what’s happening”
“Compliments Ferb or calls him a genius.”
“Doesn’t understand what Candace is saying.”
Any of those?
...and now I'm here
The third one is already Ferb's. I definitely like the first one.
Do the second and fourth happen often enough?

No idea. There are episodes when Phineas doesn't know what's happening and looks surprised/scared.
then there are episodes when the world can be collapsing and he smiles the whole time. Still, he definitely smiles more than he doesn’t.
I’d have to think about the 4th one more.

I am playing now
and doing shots of Four Loko (Original style!) as my drink time.
I chose Candace. I am now back 22 shots. Difficulties.
Oh, BAD IDEA.
For certain episodes, anyway.

He doesn't dislike it. He's probably never seen it. He was under the impression that people were joking about liking it.
But no. I don’t want to speak for everyone, but I think the show is incredible and the fact that it’s tailored to youth doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

I just assumed he's one of those people with the knee-jerk mindset that adults can't possibly like cartoons.
Those people are annoying and missing out on an entire art medium thanks to preconceived notions.
I watch it regularly with my 11-year old daughter.
My wife, Mrs. Shocker, doesn’t care for it so much. I imagine the redundancy (which, of course, is the joke) might wear thin after a while. But not yet.

No! I love cartoons!
I’ve just never actually bothered to watch the show before. If it’s good, I’ll give it a shot.

The crazy thing about it is how much stuff they pack into an 11-or-12 minute episode.
The episodes are more tightly wound than a home run derby baseball. Most all of the conditions will occur once an episode (or more).
