The Monster From The Id (PAF 1001 Animations)

Writers: Jim Bernstein, Kaz, Kim Roberson (Phineas And Ferb)

Date: February 10, 2012

Synopsis: "After losing a gift that Jeremy made for her, Candace is determined to recreate it before Jeremy realizes it’s missing. Unfortunately, Candace can’t remember what it looks like, so she enlists Phineas and Ferb to use their mind machine to enter into her subconscious and recapture the memory. Meanwhile, Doofenshmirtz’s evil plan is to use his Underwear-Inator to take over the Tri-State Area, since everyone's greatest fear is being caught in public in their underwear."

This is one of the weirdest episodes of the show. This show is no stranger to surreal plots, considering the premise, but this takes the cake. In any case, I really like this one. This episode is basically a love letter to anyone who loves Inception. We go into Candace's mind, and see how messed up she is. We see all her hopes, fears, and impulses, which says a lot about her. The imagery here works considering the scenario, and the song helps out pretty well. The subplot is also good, if a bit tame compared to the main plot. No one wants to be in their underwear, which is understandable since public humiliation is something we can't endure. The subplot ties into the main plot as Baljeet becomes the hero when Irving gets hit with Doof's device. That ending made this a good episode.
