When is perry the platypus day

Well, last year Disney inaugurated Platypus Day , and would seem to have decided it should occur every year on the first Saturday in March. So next Saturday, March 3, will continue the newly-established tradition by having a day-long marathon of Phineas and Ferb episodes on both Disney Channel and Disney XD, this year culminating in the premiere of a new episode.

Oh, and they're encouraging everyone to do the Platypus Walk. Oh, you're not familiar with the Platypus Walk? Well, you see, it's a dance in which you move like Perry the Platypus — sort of, anyway. It's pretty simple and fun, and Disney has thoughtfully provided instruction on how to do it, in the form of a video:. View Iframe URL. Doofenshmirtz does not recognize his enemy unless Perry is wearing his hat.

If Perry enters Doofenshmirtz's building without wearing the hat, the doctor will act surprised and exclaim "A platypus? However, once Doofenshmirtz has seen Agent P wearing the fedora, if it is removed, Doofenshmirtz is still able to recognize him, although sometimes he can still get confused " Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face! Doofenshmirtz has also built an inator that can't identify him without his hat on " Ladies and Gentlemen, Meet Max Modem!

Perry's most successful disguise might be that of when he and Candace accidentally switch bodies. Once the hat falls on Perry's head, Major Monogram identifies him as "Agent P" and praises Perry for the "brilliant disguise", while Carl is disappointed to learn that it is not a real girl.

Likewise, when Perry breaks in to Doofenshmirtz's building, the doctor exclaims "A teenage girl? After Perry puts on the fedora, Dr. Doofenshmirtz shrieks, "Perry the Teenage Girl? While all the Agents wear similar hats, it is this particular hat that allows people to identify Perry as Agent P, as shown when Dennis wears Perry's hat and a scanner is shown, scanning an apparent bar-code like structure to hack into the O.

Agent P has used the " Groucho glasses " to narrowly avoid being recognized by Linda in the street " Flop Starz " , disguised himself as Dr. Inside the Superduper Mega Superstore , when Perry wears a Hawaiian shirt, sunglasses and a bowler hat, none of his acquaintances at the mall are able to recognize him " Vanessassary Roughness ". Major Monogram makes him come into his lair as a magpie for a joke. Carl and Major Monogram laugh and then ask him to do it as a bunny rabbit but Perry seems very annoyed " Boyfriend From 27, B.

Once, when a rogue agent named Dennis tried to hack the O. This shows that he is very quick with disguises, especially his pet mode. Though Perry usually succeeds on almost all of his battles against Doofenshmirtz, there were a few times when he actually failed to stop Doofenshmirtz in his schemes.

Perry's affection for his family is most obvious and very indicative when he had a nightmare that his 'animal side' cover was blown and he is forced to lose the Flynn-Fletcher family and get a replacement. When Perry wakes up from the nightmare, Phineas reassures him that it was just "a bad dream", causing Perry to smile and go back to sleep " Phineas and Ferb Get Busted! Perry's feelings for his owners are further showcased when he is faced with the prospects of moving to a new family in order to combat another evil scientist: he appears visibly shaken and sad.

In the song " Come Home Perry ", Phineas mentions that Perry is the color of a blueberry and is "kinda short and hairy". It is shown that Perry spends part of the night sleeping in Phineas's bed and at some point switches over to Ferb's so as to not show preference or play favorites with any one of them " Oh, There You Are, Perry ".

Also, he sometimes appears in the mornings on Candace's bed, even though it annoys her to no end. This may be because he's trying to give Candace a turn as well. To maintain his cover, Perry adopts the disguise of a "mindless animal" around people. During one of his missions " Journey to the Center of Candace " , when Perry realizes Doofenshmirtz's plans will directly affect Phineas and Ferb, Perry takes decisive action to stop him immediately instead of following the spy routine being trapped and then escaping as usual.

Perry's reaction indicates that he cares for the well-being and safety of the boys. The reason for this action may be that the boys provide Perry with more than just a cover, but also with affection. On another occasion " Ready for the Bettys " , he follows the boys to guard them when they go on their own "mission" however, he may have done so strictly on Major Monogram's orders. Perry has even allowed Phineas and Ferb to dress him in an extremely humiliating costume for their circus show and averts his mission temporarily to appear in his act " Jerk De Soleil ".

The only noticeable occasion where Perry has expressed anything less than affection for Phineas and Ferb was when they came back from their "mission" in his hovercraft. He caught the hovercraft in a tractor beam and turned it upside down, dumping the boys into Isabella's pool " Ready for the Bettys ".

One of Perry's biggest instants of showing affection towards Phineas and Ferb was when they were pulled into another dimension with Doofenshmirtz. Perry exposes his true identity to the boys when the alternate Doofenshmirtz orders Perry the Platyborg to attack the boys, indicating that Perry is beloved family pet first, and secret agent second. Despite his cover being exposed and a one-sided argument with Phineas, he allows Phineas and Ferb to fight by his side when they are attacked by the other dimension Doofenshmirtz and trusts Phineas enough to be able to willingly plunge themselves to doom so Phineas could open another portal to another dimension.

Towards the end, after the battle ends and everyone's memories are wiped, Perry uploads pictures he took of him and his owners and saves them to his lair computer with an emotional smile, glad to have shared such an adventure with them Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension. Perry is well aware of Phineas and Ferb's Big Ideas , and has suspected that they may one day be useful if there is ever a danger to the Tri-State Area that even he or the O.

Perry used the same technology used to replicate Doofenshmirtz's Inator on hand to recreate the Big Ideas if Phineas and Ferb enter his lair and insert a key given to them by him. Phineas and Ferb have several projects featuring their pet platypus: an inaction figure , a restaurant , a circus show , an animal language translator , a machine to nurture what is thought to be Perry's egg , the Platypult , and the Perrytronic While Perry does not exhibit any different behavior around Candace than he does around other people, he does tend to show up beside her in unexpected and sometimes unwanted places.

Candace is easily annoyed by Perry's odor, or perhaps his sheer presence, as she repeatedly berates her brothers for letting Perry wander into her room and later switched brains with her, thanks to Phineas and Ferb's invention " Does This Duckbill Make Me Look Fat?

Perry has interrupted Candace's dream at least once by making his characteristic chirping noise on her bed " Candace Loses Her Head ". Candace was once overwhelmed by feelings of guilt when Perry went missing, as she had angrily put Perry outside the house after tripping on him the night before, meaning that she truly cares about him.

He then started moving his hand mockingly copying what Candace had said, in a rare instance of Perry's reaction towards Candace " Oh, There You Are, Perry ". Nevertheless, Perry saves a hallucinating Candace from being blown up in Doofenshmirtz's new secret base " The Ballad of Badbeard " and brings her back to Danville when she is stranded in Easter Island " Candace Disconnected ". On some occasions Candace sees Perry as Agent P, but later thinks that she is just seeing things and ignores it " The Ballad of Badbeard ", " Wizard of Odd " , with the obvious exception of her trip to the 2nd Dimension Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension.

Candace has also seen him as a secret agent for a few seconds in " Leave the Busting to Us! The Drusselsteinian mad scientist Heinz Doofenshmirtz first met his nemesis, Perry, on the day he had his portrait taken.

Perry had been spying on the evil scientist from across the street " It's About Time! Agent P's job is to stop whatever evil scheme of Dr. Agent P always finishes his job nicely, leaving the doctor screaming "Curse you, Perry the Platypus!

It is unclear how Dr. Doofenshmirtz knows his nemesis's pet name, "Perry". The only times he has called Agent P "Perry" is when Doofenshmirtz tried to make a mountain out of a mole hill " At the Car Wash " "Oh, sorry, Perry, I didn't mean to get all street there!

Look, I saved you a spot right there, it says "Save for Perry". Over time, they have become each other's frenemy. In some cases, after confronting Dr.

Doofenshmirtz and evaluating the situation, Perry decides to help Dr. Doofenshmirtz with his not-so-evil plans. Perry has agreed to help Doofenshmirtz go shopping " Unfair Science Fair Redux Another Story " , wait patiently until the doctor finishes his creation " I Scream, You Scream " and let the doctor control the giant dragon robot while Perry himself controls the Queen Elizabeth robot which the doctor deems not evil enough for him " A Hard Day's Knight ".

At one point, the doctor gave Perry a key to his apartment because he felt it was "more civilized than crashing through his ceiling" " I, Brobot ". Also, Perry seemed to feel guilty and paid for a door he broke while busting in to Doofenshmirtz's lair " Lights, Candace, Action! Perry also once joined Doofenshmirtz in his "evil" exercise show and even enjoyed it " Candace Disconnected ". When Dr. Doofenshmirtz fails to impress his former Evil teacher, Dr.

Gevaarlijk , Perry offers him a smile of encouragement when the doctor asks if Perry thinks he is evil " Oil on Candace ". However, when Doofenshmirtz's scheme isn't evil enough he asks Perry to "thwart his plan".

Perry plays along after Doofenshmirtz starts becoming annoying. When it appears that Dr. The relationship has evolved to the point that when Dr. Doofenshmirtz replaces Perry with Peter the Panda as his nemesis, Perry is heartbroken and intends to quit his job at the Agency. Eventually Doofenshmirtz starts to miss Perry as Peter is disassembling his freezanator ray while he's singing about his feelings " It's About Time!

Similarly, Doofenshmirtz reacts negatively when Perry is assigned to fight another mad scientist, The Regurgitator. Doofenshmirtz has gone as far as saving Perry from being destroyed by the Regurgitator, stating that Perry can be only his nemesis " Oh, There You Are, Perry ".

Perry always saves Doofenshmirtz from death, one example is when Doofenshmirtz made the Termite-Controlling Helmet. Later when Doofenshmirtz's fortress was going to explode, Perry dived in and saved him " The Magnificent Few ". Doofenshmirtz doesn't usually return the favor, as Perry is never near death. Another example of this was when Doofenshmirtz tries to save Mr. Fluffypants and falls off the building, causing Perry to dive after him, stopping him and Mr.

Fluffypants before they reach the ground " Spa Day ". At one point, Doofenshmirtz referred to Perry as a good listener and his best friend " The Chronicles of Meap ". Perry has also helped Doofenshmirtz practice kickball and comforted him when he failed " Thaddeus and Thor ". Doofenshmirtz had once held Perry and TV producer Jeff McGarland hostage and pitched them the idea of a series called Doof 'n' Puss , starring himself and Perry with hopes that he would become so famous that his fans would want to do his bidding.

McGarland rejects the idea, and then eventually changes his mind, but suggests that the platypus needs to have a girlfriend. Perry smirks when Doofenshmirtz is offended by the suggestion, and Heinz refuses to carry on with the deal. Later, he watches a TV series produced by McGarland using his idea, but called The Platypus and His Girlfriend starring a fake Perry and a woman, and was receiving terrific ratings " Nerds of a Feather ".

Perry's superior is the leader of his division of the O. Monogram himself gives a mission briefing nearly every episode to Agent P. When Perry is receiving his mission in his lair, he writes down notes, assumed as something which would help him during his mission.

However, sometimes, he just draws his boss " S'Winter ". Perry always does as he says, never failing battling Doofenshmirtz or failing in general though there are a few exceptions, such as " Phineas and Ferb's Quantum Boogaloo ", which takes place in an alternate timeline; " That Sinking Feeling ", where Perry loses but Doofenshmirtz's plan fails anyway; and in Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension , " Phineas and Ferb Save Summer ", and " Last Day of Summer ", where Doofenshmirtz actually wins, but later regrets.

Pinky the Chihuahua and Perry the Platypus are allies, as they are in the same agency, though in different divisions. Once, Perry went to Pinky's lair by mistake since he entered by going inside one of Isabella's plants " Day of the Living Gelatin ". They encountered each other when using the same elevator and they both tilted their hats to show respect to one another " Bubble Boys ," " Isabella and the Temple of Sap ".

Pinky laughs at Perry when Perry is wearing a Bee Costume. Perry the Platypus has encountered Dr. Doofenshmirtz 's daughter several times due to his daily battles with her father. Despite her being the daughter of his nemesis, and her having helped out with her father's traps and schemes on occasion " The Magnificent Few ", " Tree to Get Ready " , the two get along very well. Vanessa is aware of Perry's constant attempts to foil Doofenshmirtz's plans and knows that her father's schemes might be dangerous for himself, so she does not care too much about Perry stopping Doofenshmirtz's schemes.
