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!
zilvertron me too. And, I thank goodness I grew up watching this show and Milo Murphy’s law.
Moonwolf Yowane I would’ve done the same thing, too.
Step 1- Show up for her birth.
Already a better parent XD
Can you list the episode?
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

He’s like megamind, he’s not evil, he just acts evil because he’s never been treated any better than how a villain is treated.
In Milo Murphy’s law he turns good and fail but at least he tried. I don’t want to give away too much but I really love Milo Murphy’s Law and suggest watching it.
Aye 420th like pff
That's sad man...
1000th
True
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 literally feel so sorry for him
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.
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
I think most shows actually show divorced couples to still have feelings for each other lol
@@rayraygaleva9493 I mean if you watched Rick and North I think they do the same thing there from divorce to hey we are still comparable with each other.
*Facts*
The dude was treated bad Like very bad and He instead Getting pissed at his life and daughter still made friends with his enemies,Daughter and ex wife, He never wanted Anything bad to happen to melisa Because everything bad happened in his life,Im glad they put him in another show
"He never takes is anger out on his daughter" and that's the tea
It actually makes me wish I had a better dad.

@@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.

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.

@@Orto-jj2di He is a villain happened to be the hero of his own story. He never wanted to be accepted being a "bad guy" because of how nice he was only to be tormented and shunned by anyone in his path. He's a great person, but not as a villain.
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)
she left while he was being cleaned
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

I know right
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.
Especially during that one part
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?
@@CherryVilla21
It's like the finale
"Last Day of Summer"
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 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
Doofenshmirtz became the father that his own father could never be. He easily could have let his childhood turn him into someone who mistreats his own child but he didn’t. And on top of all that he still tries to be a loving dad despite the fact that he’s “evil”. What a legend.

Nah, I love Doof, he ain't a sociopath, just misguided. He has good morals, he just wants to be the best villain because he realized how much he had a passion for science. And evil scientists do unorthodox things so it would make sense that he would want to make inventions that are big and loud to get people's attention. Especially with his history with the rest of the evil scientists lmao, bunch of jerks
Plus, one of the reasons he wanted to take over the tri state area was because he wanted to make his mom proud and beat his brother for once
Kinda like Gru
@@Пинагод he made inventions and did bad stuff to get noticed. wich is sad.

Ah, I see, chaotic lawful (not to be confused with lawful chaotic)
Just like Megamind. There was no malice in their actions, they are not even planning on killing people for the most part but for them it's all about thinking they were made evil by destiny or fate.
My favorite bit is when Doof realized that Vanessa and her friends were gonna get swarmed by bees so he straight-up poured honey on himself, lured the bees away and jumped into a lake. Even did the corny, "YOU LEAVE MY BABY GIRL ALONE!" warcry.

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!

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
Zeref is a really complex and well written villain
In the beginning, Perry was a secret agent. But by the end, he’s a therapist/friend for doofenshmirtz, guiding him in the right direction.
Edit: If I wasn’t so modest, I’d say how this is the most likes on a comment I’ve ever received, and then I’d say thank you. But I am modest
Perry actually is way better than people credit him for, just like doof
And in the future episode they meet every Thursday for games
OWCA could be for therapy animals that have to protect the world from lunatics then help them cope with their trauma
Aydan Barry at least, that happened in Milo Murphy’s law, when they’re remain friends.
@@Shawno625 in milo murphy's law, when stuck in time, they both end up playing cards
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.

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...

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.

@@Joanne-tw5mg this is your backstory
I need to know! Which episode was this!?
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.

Gotta give Doof props on trying to find that discontinued doll. He really wanted to make his daughter's wish come true.
They say a person is made by there surroundings. That is doofenshmirts as a child he had horrible surroundings that led him to villiany but over time despite his villiany he became surrounded by good people Perry, his daughter, his ex wife etc until eventually he changed due to his surroundings again and became a good guy. Doofenshmirts story in my opinion is a story about how nobody is born evil or good and it eventually morphs into something overtime and just because someone is morphed into evil doesn't mean that in the end become good or the other way around. In the end doofenshmirts is a story of redemption.
Very true. Despite all the jokes made at his backstories, I really felt bad for him. His parents abandoned him, and when his family finally took him back in, they made him a slave, and made him feel like he would never be like his brother.
Doof is a legend his the first Disney villain I wanted to win whenever he tells his backstory feel like crying it's sad he didnt get with that love of his life
Correction : Doof and Charlene only PRETEND to be divorced. The reasons are many and convoluted but brilliant! 😁
@@tinaperez7393 WYM I don't believe that theory but my interest is peaked what's the evidence. Because if it's that there friendly it's already stated in Phineas and Ferb that the reason is that they just wanted to do other things and those things couldn't happen with them together so the reason there friendly is that there friends now. Maybe best friends. We hear so many messy divorce stories that we forget that the majority are caused by both parties wanting different things.

“No, that’s true. I am an idiot.” No, it isn’t. Heinz Doofenshmirtz was one of the best, most hard working, best developing, loving and kind character in the whole series. He saved and took care of a kitten. He took care of his daughter, tried to give her the best childhood, so that she didn’t turn out like him, let her work for his rivalling company, let her DATE the son of his rival and also have you EVER seen any Perry and Heinz moments? They are the best frenemies I have ever seen. Over the years, they got rid of their rivalry, and like became the best of friends. I honestly don’t think your an idiot!
wow- I-
Doof and perry made the definition of frenemies
A grown man can only tear up this much. :')
I'm reading this just as that part came on
The reason Doof is the best is because he doesn’t hold grudges against people forever- well except Roger- but like Perry- every time Perry defeats Doof at the end of each episode- by the next day, he’s over it and also doesn’t hold grudges against his parents 99%- and having a healthy relationship with his daughter also makes him wholesome- Lastly he doesn’t hold grudges against his ex’s which is big-
Ya know, I think just having Perry and Vanessa there made a difference in his life since they were THERE for him while when he was a child no one was there for him-
As a kid after hearing doofs parents didnt come to his own birth: aww how sad :(

Hello, I agree with you
Ya'll dont sleep on my man goofy, the dude literally went back to college and aced that shit, won the skateboard tournament to impress his son.
Ooh, don't forget Donald biologically he is the boys uncle but as far as the law concern he's their dad. (He adopted them)
Disney makes better fathers than real life at this point
@@Fisinocean Not to mention, In the new reboot of Ducktales they explain how Donald started going to anger management once he heard he was adopting the boys becuase he didn't want to take his anger out on them, and he instead wanted to channel all the rage he had to protect the boys whenever they were in danger. Imo best character arc I've seen in years 👌
And that's just for Max, who was most likely the product of an early one-night-stand Goofy had with the dancer/actress Zenobia. There's a good chance Max was quietly bounced back and forth between the two of them in his early years, but that she left Max with Goof for good in 1992 when she leaves to move to Paris and help manage a hotel.
Goofy used to have another son, named George Jr., with a wife who left the picture a while ago. Jr. had brown hair like his mother, not black hair like Goofy and Max.
Part of the reason I think Goofy breaks his back so hard to get Max's love is because he's scared of losing another son. He tries to be silly, even if it can annoy Max, because he lost his other family when he was being an "Average working man". He used to be more simple and light-hearted when he started out, but when he "matured" in his first marriage, it ended up only pushing his wife and son away. So, he's retuned to a more goofy Goofy, since that's the personality he had when he fell in as Micky's friend, and probably when he attracted his wife in the first place.
People bring up Glory-Bee as another potential mother for Max, but given her genetics and how she felt about Goofy when she was courting him, I don't think she'd leave the picture willingly. There /is/ a chance she could be Max's mother, but it would have been a birth towards the end of her relationship with Goofy. I worry that the harassment she received while chasing Goofy's affections resulted in some nasty mental health issues, compounded by a sudden, unplanned pregnancy. Maybe that's why she disappears? To handle the pregnancy on her own, without wanting to hinder Goofy with it since he had moved on to Zenobia by that time.
Dude, I dunno. Goofy's a hell of a ladies man, tho.
Kathryn S Holy hell. Is any of that actually canon?

That makes sense but it's still horribly sad
I think what’s also pretty satisfying about him giving Vanessa the doll is that, in one of his flashbacks, he used all his money to win his mother a teddy bear from a claw machine only for her to imminently give it to his brother without even a thank you.
Seeing Vanessa appreciative of the hard work he went into finding it is pretty heartfelt when you think of that backstory.

"EEEVVVVVIIIIIILLLLL!!!!!!! " - Mermaid Man
Doofinsemeerh is a good dad because he didn't maybe take his anger out on his kid
Tbh I didn't really see Doof as a villain back then. I saw him "crack" when he was with his daughter and I found it really cool and something I've never seen any villain did to their children
"I am going to convince you why doofenshmirtz is the best dad" You can't convince me of something i already knew. Dude went above and beyond for his daughter and had a semi decent relationship with his ex wife wish we had seen aa bit more on the why they divorced but at least we got a kick ass duet in the alternate universe.
The general idea most fans have is, since they’re hardly alike, and, like Charlene says, they didn’t have a lot in common and wanted different things, the two must have sort of rushed into their relationship a bit when they were younger.
After all, they aren’t good complements to each other. Even in the second dimension, the duet they sing mentions how different they are, how they “don’t agree on restaurants or where to holiday” and “we spend such little time together conversation’s never forced” (implying that it _was_ forced when they spent a lot of time together, they didn’t usually have much to talk about), giving you the idea that their relationship is easier when they’re apart. And heck, in the normal dimension, the last straw leading to their divorce was a puppet Doof got that Charlene couldn’t stand.
So maybe they rushed into the relationship and marriage because they were young and really wanted a happy ending, even if they barely got along. And since Doofenschmirtz had such a sad love life before he met Charlene, he just wanted to believe that _this_ one would work out and be his happily ever after, because _she_ didn’t leave after the first date or dump him for a whale or something.
So since it wasn’t _so_ bad that they were treating each other terribly, they hoped their differences would just work themselves out eventually. I don’t know how exactly Charlene felt about the situation, but she probably held on for the same reasons, wanting it to all work out... until it hadn’t, for a long time, and she had to put her foot down.

The fact that he kept Norm for the rest of the series even after Norm failed to do what he was built for, and allowed him to just think of Doof as his own father, was also one of the things he did to give him more points as the best cartoon dad ever.

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
