“ | I'm not absolutely sure boys, but I think I just became the king of the pharmacists. | ” |
— Lawrence Fletcher |
When Lawrence heads out to attend a speaking engagement on antiques, he unwittingly finds himself participating in the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. Pageant of Evil against Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Rodney. As a special host oversees the proceedings, Perry is tasked with monitoring the situation. Meanwhile, Candace thinks the boys are making a modern art installation. Across town, the boys are playing a giant game of darts.
Episode Summary[]
Phineas and Ferb walk into the backyard, carrying a large dart, where they meet their mother, Linda, who is working on a "junk sculpture" for the upcoming Modern Installation By Moms Charity auction. Linda mentions that Phineas' stepfather, Lawrence, had left to give a lecture, most likely about a historical event. Phineas seems disappointed because he was hoping that Lawrence would play a game of Giant Darts with him and Ferb. Phineas and Ferb then leave to carry their dart to the front yard.
Candace is in her room, on the computer. She hears Linda working outside, and thinks the sound is Phineas and Ferb building one of their inventions. She goes downstairs to bust them. Linda leaves to get more materials for her sculpture before Candace arrives. Candace believes that the boys have left in the middle of building, and stays in the backyard to bust them when they return.
At the same time, Phineas and Ferb are in the front yard, preparing to launch their dart. Phineas explains to Isabella that Baljeet and Buford are across town, supposedly preparing the appropriately-sized dartboard, although Buford is only supervising. Phineas and Ferb launch the dart, which flies over Lawrence, who is driving in his car on his way to give his speech. He double-checks the address, which he had written on a piece of paper, that was 9019 Palindrome Road. He accidentally drops the address and when he picks it up, he places it upside down, so that it reads 6106 Palindrome Road, which actually leads to the Danville Arena.
Meanwhile, Perry learns that the members of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. are gathering to elect their first supreme leader. Perry uses his jetpack to fly to Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated. To enter, he jumps through a window, then accidentally falls through a series of tubes, leading into a large bottle. Dr. Doofenshmirtz picks up the bottle, with Perry trapped inside, and informs Perry that he is running to be the leader of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N, and he takes Perry with him.
Candace is still in the backyard, waiting for the boys to return. She hears the boys in the front yard and runs to get them, but they take off on another dart before she can see them. While Candace isn't looking, Linda returns, adds more pieces to her sculpture, then drives away to find more things to put on the sculpture.
Afterwards, Lawrence arrives at the Danville Arena, where the televised competition to be the supreme leader of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N is taking place. On the stage, dancers and the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. members sing a song, which is apparently the theme song for the contest. Lawrence appears through a trapdoor in the stage and is mistaken to be one of the top three contestants. The other two contestants are Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Rodney, Doofenshmirtz's greatest evil rival. They compete in various competitions, such as the Mechanical Mother competition and the Swimsuit competition, all of which Lawrence loses due to his politeness.
Backstage, Rodney attempts to use Dr. Doofenshmirtz's Make-Everything-Evil-Inator, which he renames the Make-Everything-Evil-Izer to make himself more evil and thus secure his win. Dr. Doofenshmirtz steals his idea and they both fight to be shot with the inator first. The fight accidentally makes the inator hit Lawrence, turning him evil and causing him to win the last round of the competition, where the contestants try to intimidate the others with their most evil glare. Lawrence wins by so many points that he is elected Supreme Leader of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. Major Monogram advises Perry, through Perry's wrist communicator, to remind Lawrence of who he really is to turn him back to normal. Perry uses his jetpack to escape and turn the dart that Phineas and Ferb are riding on towards the Danville Arena. They land in the middle of the arena. Lawrence sees them and he goes back to normal. Lawrence tosses aside his Supreme Leader medal, thus resigning as leader.
Back at home, men in a truck are taking Linda's junk sculpture away. Candace tries to keep them from doing so, but she fails. Linda sees the sculpture, and Candace thinks that she has finally busted the boys. Linda puts the last piece on the sculpture, a coat hanger, then informs Candace that she had made it to sell in the Modern Installation By Moms Charity auction. The men take the sculpture away to the auction while Candace watches in disappointment and shock.

Errors[]
- When the giant dart hits the center of the mark of the stage, the mark is seen, but when Lawrence goes to Phineas and Ferb and shakes hands, the mark is gone.
- On Linda's second errand out to pick up art supplies, she states that her sculpture needs feathers; however, feathers are not shown until several sculpture shots later.
- When Isabella says "Hi, Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher", Linda's mouth is not visible.
- When Linda reverses the car, somehow the grass is visible inside the car, which is supposed to be obscured by the door. Apparently, the door on the right-rear side of the car is missing.
- During the beginning of the song, the same scientist can be seen both in the top row in the far right, and in the middle on the bottom row.
- During the beginning of the song, Dr. Bloodpudding can be seen on both the left and right side of the stage.
- Dr. Diminutive is too short for the microphone but it has no problem projecting his voice.
- Near the end of the song, after Dr. David Bringdown dances off the screen, he walks back in from the left a second after.
- At the end of the song, the host of the pageant appears walking on the stage. After Lawrence arrives, he supposedly announces the late entry, but does not move from when he stopped at the top of the stage.
- Perry creates a scratch on the bottle before Monogram contacts him; when he sighs, the scratch is gone.
- After the swimsuit competition, Lawrence has 8 points, but when the glare contest starts Lawrence has 6 points, then he has 0.
- The audience at the pageant constantly switched between members of L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. and what looks like an audience filled with actual people. Also, many of the L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. audience members look the same or are sitting in multiple places at the same time.
- When Perry arrives at Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, he gets rid of his jetpack as he jumps to the window. Later on, when he goes to get Phineas and Ferb, he has his jetpack again.
- When the audience is casting their votes for the final event, their devices only have one button, making it impossible to choose one of three contestants.
- The number 6106 (originally 9019) is not a palindrome.
- On the second impact with the giant dart board, Phineas says he landed on the triple ring with Buford adding that they landed on 1, but they actually landed on 14.
Continuity[]
- Perry liking hot dogs is mentioned ("Backyard Aquarium").
- Rodney builds a Make-Everything-Evil-izer, an exact replica of Doofenshmirtz's Turn-Everything-Evil-inator ("Day of the Living Gelatin").
- Lawrence's car is seen again ("Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together"). This is the first time he is seen using it.
- Klimpaloon is mentioned again ("Phineas and Ferb: Summer Belongs to You!").
Allusions[]
- The Muppets - The arches and format used during the musical number is similar to "The Muppet Show Theme" from The Muppet Show and the movie The Muppets.
- Lawrence's line, "Today Danville, tomorrow the world!", is a play on Adolf Hitler's famous quote, "Today Germany, tomorrow the world!".
- Ectrodactyly - During the song, when they point to Dr. Diminutive, there seems to be a crab hand among the hands pointing at Dr. Diminutive. This is a fairly well researched genetic anomaly called ectrodactyly, in which only the pinky and thumb are developed.
- Creature from the Black Lagoon - Rodney's swimsuit looks quite similar to the titular creature from this iconic monster film.
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show - One of the evil scientists has a green shirt with a triangle on it, similar to the lab coat worn by Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror.
Trivia[]

- This is the sixth time Candace doesn't see the boys' invention ("The Ballad of Badbeard", "Hail Doofania!", "Atlantis", "The Lemonade Stand", "Brain Drain").
- This is the fourth time Perry is threatened to be relocated ("Phineas and Ferb Get Busted!", "Oh, There You Are, Perry", Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension).
- This is the seventeenth time Perry doesn't battle Doofenshmirtz ("Get That Bigfoot Outa My Face!", "Traffic Cam Caper", "Put That Putter Away", "The Monster of Phineas-n-Ferbenstein", "Oil on Candace", "Unfair Science Fair Redux", "Tip of the Day", "Thaddeus and Thor", "Oh, There You Are, Perry", "Undercover Carl", "I Was a Middle Aged Robot", "Nerds of a Feather", "Split Personality", "Run Candace Run", "Candace Disconnected", "Skiddley Whiffers").
