Just Our Luck

Luck is called "stinkelkrampen" in Drusselstein and it turns out I never have any of the good kind. Turns out that every object has a positive or negative energy field.

When Candace is accidentally zapped by Doofenshmirtz’s Stinkelkrampen-Inator (aka Good Luck-Inator), she realizes she has a good chance of busting Phineas and Ferb.

Episode Summary
Candace wakes up to see her brothers with Buford and Baljeet already in the backyard. She complains about how she is not a morning person. Then she wonders where Perry is.

Agent P goes down to his lair very tired since he pulled an all-nighter filling in for another agent. Major Monogram tells him that Doofenshmirtz has been seen experimenting with energy fields. Perry wearily walks over to his spy car, but he puts it on autopilot so he can sleep.

Isabella joins up with the gang and Phineas tells her they are making a zip-line structure all over Danville so they can play a game of sky tennis. He invites her to join them for a game of doubles, with Buford as the line judge.

At Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, Perry's spy car arrives and Norm (acting like a guard dog thanks to some software Doof installed in him) alerts his "master' of it. Doof approaches Perry but sees that he is still very sleepy, so he decides to tell his evil plan subliminally.

Errors

 * While "Stinkelkrampen" is said to mean "luck" in this episode, in real life, it is pseudo-German gibberish that does not mean anything. The actual German translation of the word "Good Luck" is "Viel Glück". However, "krampen" is Norwegian for "spasm".
 * As Monty Python would tell you, tennis with five people is not really considered doubles.

Allusions

 * Oscar Meyer  - In Doofenshmirtz's flashback to the time he misused a genie, it shows him as a hotdog telling the genie that "It's not a wish. It's a song. It's not a song. It's a jingle!" referring to the the Oscar Meyer's jingle, "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener."
 * Just My Luck -  The plot of Candace having good luck while Phineas, Ferb and the others having bad luck is based on the 2006 movie, starring Lindsay Lohan, in which a young girl had extremely good luck while a guy had extremely bad luck, then both of them switch luck.
