Despite striving to be an evil professor that will conquer the Tri-State area, Doofensmhirtz has a heart of gold, nothing getting in the way of making his daughter Vanessa happy and healthy. Learn about the responses to all of the trials and tribulations that make Heinz the best father in animation.

You are not the father!
His childhood was awful and he's making sure his daughter doesn't go through the same pains he went through. Doof is a character that is well written and very 3 dimensional and a perfect example of a father character.
Honestly i watched and loved the series for the sole purpose of Doofenschmirtz and his plans, they were so small minded and funny!

Step 1- Show up for her birth.
Already a better parent XD
Can you list the episode?
Let's also not forget he's a freaking genius, like this dude is cannonically almost as smart as Phineas and Ferb. The only thing he's missing is luck and hindsight, but he is able to make some really cool inventions at times...
Literally one of my favorites characters of all times
Smart? He puts self destruct buttons
@@stevenliang3213 And what do you do if the inator starts going haywire and doing stuff it's not supposed to do without one?
@Maou Yuu That's his biggest flaw, his inators are made to self destruct which is a good thing but the self destruct button is on the inator, and given how often he is thrown on them, bumps into them, or accidentally throws something at them he should do what his "better" dimension self did and have the button on a remote or better yet in a safe/case that can be opened easily in case of emergencies but is safe from physical trauma.
BEHOLD! The ShutTheFuckUp-inator!
@@stevenliang3213 he's smart, guy builds machines that literally bend reality.
He just isn't clever, or whatever. Someone's intelligence won't be equal to every application, Phineas for example has a less than average emotional intelligence.
I love how LEGITIMATELY concerned the nurse looks in the birth flashback. Like, they had to have just experienced some MAGICAL stuff to be holding baby Doof despite neither parent being there.
Doof's mom: *Teleports Doof out the womb to the hospital*
Nurse:🤨🤔😥
Or them immediately get out after the childbirth.
Or his mother give birth at home and send the kid via delivery.
Or surrogate
well, its actually implied like just with Poppeye the father and mother were so ashamed of their spawn that they abandoned it as soon as he born... which is... horrifying... (yes! Poppeye also was abandoned by its parents, and just like Doof was adopted but somehow Doof found them later but they took him apparently for a legal formality and obligation rather than love)

Vanessa not giving up the doll her father gave her to another child who wants it isn't villainy by any means. It's not even morally wrong. The doll is really important to Vanessa because her father spent 10 years searching for it and never stopped looking. It's a symbol of how much he loves her. To the little girl, it's just another toy. Vanessa has sentimental value attached to that doll and the little girl needs to learn that sometimes you don't get the things you want and someone else has a right to their own stuff, even if you want it. The girl would probably give the doll away or forget about it in a box when she got to Vanessa's age. Vanessa is going to have that doll for the rest of her life because it's a testament to how dedicated her father is. When he passes away, it'll be a memento of him. It's wrong to expect Vanessa to give something like that up because it means so much to her.
Nope, it’s still morally wrong. It’s just because it’s a cartoon that makes it look like it’s fine, because it’s a depiction. In reality there would be brawl between a genius protective dad, and a pissed off protective dad
@@bearded18yearold It is not morally wrong. Even if it was real life it would be totally okay to take the doll back. I myself would snatch it back even if it made the kid cry. Vanessa was entitled to the doll, her dad spent years looking for it so it has sentimental value, and also just the fact that it's hers, not that little girl's.
I don't know how on earth you can think it's morally wrong to *checks notes* not give away your stuff just because some little kid wants it
I love this comment!
@@bearded18yearold Fuck them kids
Vanessa is probably the best "not like other girls" character. They portrayed her individuality right and didn't shove her quirk into our faces like in other shows
Ikr? When I was a child she made me want to wear all black and when my parents didn't let me I didn't know why

@@rollfaceonkeyboard yeah, still the only really necessary thing in life is good relationships,
parents are an easy way to get that early if you're lucky but they're not irreplaceable,if you were unlucky.
just look at doof, his insistence on getting closer to his daughter and her being a nice kid, slowly deepened their relationship, it was mostly just hardship at the start but later her fondness of her father made her single handedly help him to get past his very lonely and sad life and all of the pain and weakness it caused him.
yeah because he doesnt want his daughter to grow up like him or his brother.
either hated and abandoned.
or loved and cherished.
Doof just took "I'm a villain, but not a monster" to a whole new level
you're a bad guy, but that doesn't mean you're a bad guy
All monsters are villain but not all villains are monsters
Even Dan Povenmire himself said that!
“He’s evil but he’s not a monster!”
In one of his shorts on his channel.
To be fair. His first dimension self isn’t a monster. The one from the 2nd dimension however is another story. I do not like 2nd dimension doofensmirtz. He’s vile!
Has anybody noticed that the supposed "crazy" or "evil" dads in cartoons tend to be really good parents. Ice King is only well Ice King because he had to wear the crown to protect a sick young Marceline. Also he lost Betty but didn't show his grief to Marceline as he knew she doesn't need that. Those two are relatively harmless cause in the episodes they capture the heroes, they don't exactly kill them. Doof often talking to Perry causally and occasionally asking for help and Ice King reading a fan fic story to them while they were in ice (might have done other things, it's been forever since I've seen it)
Oh this is a good one
And (credit to… someone a few comments down) Gru in Despicable Me. His mother was passive-aggressive and deprecative, which made him obsess over the one thing she most-heavily doubted him on: the moon. She told him he wouldn’t get there, because “NASA isn’t sending the monkeys, anymore,” and only replied with an “Eh” to his working model-rocket. His desperation for his mother’s approval is pretty much what got him to steal the moon.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I never really thought about that until now. Took me… *looks up release date of Despicable Me* twelve years to figure it out. Better late than never, I guess.
@@nelsonv1953 Ohhhh yeye Gru is a good dad too
He's living as Simon again after some magic shenanigans with Betty in the finale
Sometimes the villains are the true heroes that the world hurt
The fact he throws huge birthday parties for Vanessa since his parents couldn’t care less :(
Bro it hurts
It's like zuko and his children. Aang , katara, and toph weren't exactly good parents. Zuko was traumatized by his father, hence wants to be a good dad himself
I really want someone to talk about how mediocre her mother would’ve been as a role model, every time his daughter stays with her mother it seems almost always she’s never paying attention to her.
I do my best for her

I really like the representation of divorcement between doofenshmirtz and his ex wife. Its kind of a trope to make divorce families break up over a fight about something. But in this show it's because both partners kind of slowly lost interest in each other, which is totally normal to happen. They both get along great, but just not as husband and wife.
Yeah it's always good to see a cartoon showing a divorced couple still being on good terms
nah they broke off cause of mr tomato lol
Well that and Disney has a penchant for focusing mostly on single parent households.

I really love how none of his backstories are about his exes. He could have framed the Linda Date as a reason to hate pop stars or hate drive in movies, but its just the origin of realizing his long term goals in America. His ex wife could have been a whole sub plot of Doof trying to trap vanessa and use her as a pawn against his ex wife, but instead SHE pays HIM alimony payments every month and neither ever speak ill of the other. Even when Vanessa tries saying "But he's evil!" Her mother shoots back with "Hey now, your father and I may habe had our differences, but that doesn't mean he's evil."
they were partners who lost interest in each other.
Doof acts as "EVIL" because the world views him that way.
@@undercovertakodachi4301 His wife lost interest because he hid his evildoing from her 😭. In the alternate dimension, they stay married (pretending to be divorced) and she is obsessed with being evil alongside him.
He has taken it as a concept to be evil because he was treated badly in his childhood. Like "i am supposed to be evil i guess." He doesnt actually harbour any hatred towards the world.

I know right
Doof is probably one of the most healthiest examples of a divorced father in tv. Him being evil isn’t a result of the divorce, but rather bad child hood and he doesn’t enforce that on Vanessa. Despite being divorced, he still is shown to have a great relationship with his ex wife and treats Vanessa the same way. Most shows would have him be evil because he divorced or have him be a deadbeat but he is still friendly with his ex and even goes to great lengths to help Vanessa
The divorced because of mr tomato

Hello, I agree with you
It never mentions how he’s still really kind to his parents despite how terrible they were to him
I'm surprised that, with all of his crazy and potentially dangerous "inators," he doesn't try to kill them (and/or Roger). He could probably even get away with it, too.
EDIT: before someone says "he's not a murderer," let me remind you that he sent some biker to get crushed to death by some alien baby just because he catcalled Vanessa. Also, Doofenshmirtz-2 (most likely) committed genocide while ruling his Tri-State Area. In short, Doof is perfectly capable of killing someone if he wants to.
@@red_five3325 A lot of what happened between him and Roger wasn't Roger's fault. I think he realizes that, though he's constantly trying to embarrass Roger and everything he never wished harm on him.
What I do find interesting is how he was still nice to his dad and mom after everything, like he went out of his way to find the lawn gnome that his dad was so attached to as a father's day gift

When he was a child Doofenshmirtz had nothing and so he wants to make sure that Vanessa has everything (Even if he’s out of the loop when it comes to what her and her friends like)
Something I saw brought up somewhere about Doof is that a key clue to him not actually being evil comes from instances where he teams up with other villains, much of the time ultimately either they grow tired of his antics, he find himself disturbed by the extent of their villainy and often ends up working with the good guys to stop them or a mix of both. This is because he was never truly evil, and when he encounters it he is naturally repulsed.
Im currently writing a fic. And at some point doof joins my villain protagonist group. But I plan it where there are little hints that Doof isn't as onboard with the main group's more evil actions over the course of the story
Yes! I love that about him!! I love when he teams up with OWCA against the other bad guys 😁

Dr. Doofenshmirtz is actually a good dad considering he had a terrible childhood where his parents cared very little about him. He cares about Vanessa when his own parents didn’t.

Where he was about to be guranteed total victory only to sacrifice it all for his daughter
@@dizzyheads Can you tell me what episode that is?

Many can overcome.
He didn't wanted to make the same mistake again idk why its such a big deal? A lot of people dont follow their abusive parents footsteps and decide to end the cycle by raising their children the complete different way or not have any at all.
Vanessa was very mature about her dads efforts, she calmly informs him every time. She is truly his greatest blessing!
0:16 You made my man Goofy dirty by putting him at the same level of all those other cartoon dads, he's on par with Doof.
Goofy is goated
Yeah for a guy who isn’t too smart, he was surprisingly knowledgeable about what his daughters needs and wants were. He deserves a fathers day episode on the show lmfao
Lukas Gauvreau I mean he is a bit aloof but he’s a scientist, I’d say that’s at least a bit smart
Just because people are silly, doesn't mean they're stupid. That's something to remember
Dudes like watch milo Murphy’s law doof literally made time travel (even though phineas and ferb did it first) so I’m pretty sure doof is pretty smart. Just wanted to point that out.

also the one where doof couldnt jump on the pool, and their parents didnt recognize him as their son anymore. Man that was depressing
I'm thinking they gave birth to him then left immediately after
And hillarious
What’s funny is that, despite Roger being the loved, attractive, and highly successful brother, Heinz is the to have actually been married and even maintain a positive relationship with both his daughter *and* his ex-wife.
It doesn't surprise me to be honest. Someone else commented that people who are unstable are often spoiled to the point they cannot handle difficult situations. Heinz can and is willing to put in the work while Roger doesn't see the point.
I'll be honest, even as a child watching this cartoon on TVs i never had negative feelings towards this guy and now it all makes sense🥰🥰🥰.... thanks so much for this explanation.
In Ferb's words, "A hero is a hero. But everybody loves a great villain."
Indeed cirno.
Correct
Cartoo episode where candice is made a villain
Madara in a nutshell
A good hero to go with the villain is just as good
Like in fairy tail the villain zeref was related to the "hero" (he's more complex than a hero tho) natsu and both their motives made sense. HE WAS ALSO RELATED TO THE WHOLE OF FAIRY TAIL BESIDES NATSU...that level of complexity is non existent in any media

I always saw Doof’s backstories as a funny extra clip when I was a kid, now that I’m older I see the depressing side...
Same and in a weird way they feel relatable. I am also pretty sure that Doof is suffering both from a quite severe depression and PTSD that he never really dealt with propperly in his adult life.
@@emiliaholmberg3320 taking over the Tri-State area is just his form of therapy.
If the guy had a decent family he probably would’ve been a Fantastic person saved thousands of lives and improved many more
@@vixshire3672 Isn't one of his invention accidentally used for treating eye disease or something and he keep getting royalties for it? I don't remember what episode though.
@@scorpioninpink something like that n it made his eyes like 5x bigger and the inator blew a fuze that put the entire tri state out of power and all he had were his gigantic pleading puppy eyes n thats all what ppl would see bc it was dark everywhere
Technically, doofenshmirtz is usually the butt of the joke, but not because he's a dad, but because he tries to take over the TRI-STATE AREAAAAA!!
Hold up
I heard that in his voice
I read the last part in his voice
@@drdoofensmirtz6593 When İ arrived at the tri state via my Alternate Reality Bender with postal İ grabbed my shotgun and slaughterd a bunch if police officers and peed on a SWAT officer after tht İ slashed a OWCA agents head off to playe golf then İ played postal it was fun.
is it bad that I heard his voice say that?
I feel like Doofensmirtz is a good-hearted person and an awesome guy who literally wants to be a villain but fails because of how good hearted he is.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz ain’t just #1 dad but also one of the best characters nobody can change my mind 😭✨

@@mithmoonwalker AHHHHHHHH, WHY YOU SAY THAT, *I'M BOUT TO CRY DAMNIT-*
Though had abusive parents, depressing childhood, lost his favorite balloon, was raised by ocelots, overshadowed by his brother, replaced by a dog, neglected by his parents, his parents left him at his birth, divorced, and dumped, he still is a great dad, smart as hell without education, and protectes his daughter, he's the first cartoon chad in history alright
best chad
Damn, imagine if he actually went to school.
The Doof is a dad Chad
even his chin looks like the chad meme
@@kimii9559 GIGA CHAD
Theory: Doof is adopted, since his younger brother was the biological child he became the favorite in the family.
That doesn't explain the way he looks very similar with his parents
Kind of makes sense with the fact that his own “parents” didn’t make it to his birth
@@fahrulrputra2589 maybe they're actually his uncle and aunt? Didn't show up for his birth, had a societal expectation to "care for him", always had a preference for their other kid
@Aryan Singh That's a bit of a word salad, can you say that again?
Solid theory, but Doof said they were “expecting” him, likely implying his mother had him.
The way he covered with honey to save his daughter... what a great dad!!!
He went through hell,
His Parents didn’t come to his birth
He was the only one at his birthday
And the worst pain he had to go through
He got doomed by a puppet.
don’t forget he got beat up by a platypus with a hat 189 times
Don’t forget that nature hates him
Doomed by a puppet twice, actually
😂😂😂🤣
I almost forgot that he was controlled by a Platypus
All his inventions are easily foiled despite him being a genius, so he actually gave Perry a job to occupy his time
He even points it out in one of the episodes when he did a fast forward of the day in order to make a second robot
Wasn't there an episode where Doof literally blows up one of his inventions in front of Perry to do something else?
@@sandwichpony8071 yes. Once Perry left, believing that Doof foiled his own poorly-thought-out scheme, Doof told Norm it was a decoy-inator. His real scheme was to use an ultimate evil-inator on Major Monogram, but he hit Carl since Monogram had a mirror.
- I thought it was a great plan, but he just got unlucky.
@@luznoceda5322 "Where's Perry" (Season 3)
@@SerperiorChaos what are you talking about
The thing about Doofenshmirtz is that he tries so hard to be a villain, but he’s genuinely a nice person and for crying out loud people mistake him for a pharmacist!
Hell even Perry is a good friend to him, Doofenshmirtz asked him on the beach that if he’s a good villain, to which Perry replied with a thumbs up and Doofenshmirtz thanked him for that. And let’s not forget that he too in the end became an OWCA agent since he was raised by Ocelots during a small part of his childhood.
Doof really got my respect when I grew up. Turns out he is not the most evil person.
That “She’s 16!” Joke really flew over my head when I was a kid lmao. The creators were smart
What does it mean.....i just thought he said she was a minor.....
Can you explain the joke? Im too dumb.
UpdateDotExe
Pedophilia joke. If your a kid you wouldn’t think that much on a 16 year old girl being hit on but now ur older you realize how edge of a joke that was. For context that biker looked to be in his 20s
@@JotaroKujo-nj4bx i took it as a dick joke.
Harini Jayasankar I made another comment answering that in this thread
“Do you like Doofenshmirtz as a character?” 99% percent say yes
the other 1% also say yes but being accidentally pulverized by Doof...
1% are jelly
"0% says no"
UA-cam is just too scared to have it be the real 100%
whos the 1%.
It says 0% no wtf
Hugh Neutron was a good dad too, he was dumb but literally supported his son in every aspect.
There was an episode where Jimmy went berserk and hulked out on the town with some technology
And hugh was like, giving him lifting advice lmao
Facts
What I like about doofenschmirtz is how his suffering as a child led him to be a more empathetic person towards his kid, and even those around him. On the flip side, the AU doofenschmirtz led a picture perfect life, however he was spoiled all throughout his childhood and grew up to be a controlling psycho. Often times, the most unstable adults are those who were spoiled throughout childhood because they didn't learn how to handle hardship and failure and disappointment for themselves.
The fact that he has a daughter looking like Vanessa, proved that he must've had the best genes to mix with the mom too.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache
I didn’t want to be the one to say it but she was my childhood crush. Probably where I get my preference in ladies her and Katara from Avatar
Edit: Also Shego from Kim possible and the trio from Avatar as well (Azula, Ty Lee, Mei)

After it being ages since I watched the last Phineas and ferb episode, I am now once again in tears. Uncontrolled oceans of tears. My jaw is literally shaking thinking about the memories, the type of guy doof is. And like when I was a kid I never payed much attention to the story (obviously) but its just so, I can't even explain at this point. I'm done. Good night
He’s even a good dad to his son without even knowing he was his son
Every time him and phineas interact he’s nice and supportive
Another awesome thing is that if his daughter ever gets bullied, then her father will always save the day by blasting bullies/criminals into another dimension.
DEATH
*_get fucked nigga_*
He sends them to the MEGA GAYZONE
He will implement a self destruct button on the bullies.
Or Doofenshmirtz move the bullies to Davy Jones Locker.
You forget he turned into a pure evil monster and just seeing his daughter turned him back into human become how much he loved her
i think it was perry with his pictures
@@GrumpyOrangeCat There were two instances; the first was Vanessa asking to borrow Doof's car keys. The second was Perry ^^ BOTH ADORABLE AF
What Episode?
@@Joanne-tw5mg this is your backstory
I need to know! Which episode was this!?
Not only that but he is the Disney villain with the most songs
And most of them are good
Phineas and Ferb is such a classic and the way Milo Murphy Law and Phineas and Ferb are in the same universe is so clever
I've never seen anyone calling him an awful father. Only praising that he loves his daughter so much and wishing they could have a father like that. Don't know who on Earth would think he's a bad father
I bet we can all agree that he's "not so bad a dad."
@@red_five3325 perfect reference
Well...personally I see him as a bad parent, but I haven't expressed my views on the internet public before this comment and I've never seen anyone else thinking of him as that either. So you're right
@@flyingstapler1241 but why?
@@flyingstapler1241 how is he a bad parent? He did all he can to make sure Veronica is happy-

Please give a link
I really liked that episode, that was so sweet of him
Wiat what episode?!
what episode?
Doof is literally my top 5 favorite character in Phineas and Ferb. He’s depicted as a villain, yet has an appealing backstory that makes everyone feel bad for him, has a sense of humor, and he’s creative af
This is a great persuasive piece honestly being in college and having to learn this just help me realize how much respect is needed to be given on this
His back's hunched from carrying the entire show ☹️
This...☝
Agreed
^^^^^
It is✋🏾✋🏾
Periodt
His back must hurt after carrying the whole show
Why you think he's always hunching over
So that's why hes always hunched over.
Him and Ferb tbh
Zulkarnaen Jasni what you talking about perry is after doof
@@noodles4814 what are u talking about❓ im talking about how Doof and Ferb singlehandedly carrying the whole show
This was deep. They completed each other's insecurities.
Remember that one episode where everyone was turned into all lot of Doofs and he was so scared that they would’ve Infect Vanessa. He saids to Perry “Turning into your parent, that’s what’s scary”.
That episode.... what a nightmare...
Not to mention he literally made a city for him and his daughter
Literally made an entirely new country for him and his daughter

I love this character type, someone with a traumatic past. But not letting hatred consume them and becomes a better person then the people that hurt them.
Why is the trope of the villain-hero so good?
Megamind, Wreck-it-Ralph,etc. are all great movies that use the same aforementioned trope, and it’s always good!
Why Doofenshmirtz is the best dad
1. He's alive
Hahaha died dad trope joke funny (but if your father is actually dead and I’m really sorry)

So does Eren
Guy: **Hits on cartoon dad's daughter**
Other cartoon dads: "Uh... just don't get her pregnant"
Doof: **Shoots the guy dead**
Although Doofenshmirtz did technically murder that guy, his inator wasn't lethal. He just zapped that biker to another dimension, where some giant alien baby crushed him to death with a hammer.
Regardless, I'd like to see Doof race Bryan Mills to get their respective daughters back from kidnappers.
@@red_five3325 Doof would make inators that actually work if it was for his daughter. Kidnappers, more like puddles of blood in the carpet.
