Tips

  • Be careful what you put online. It never goes away, ever!
  • You never know who's gonna see it.
  • Just because it's online, doesn't mean it's true,
  • Because not everyone is who they say they are!
  • If you wouldn't do it in person, you shouldn't do it online!
  • Get off the computer, put down that phone, because...
  • Nothing beats spending time with real friends!

Transcript

Version 1

Isabella: Hey Phineas! Whatcha doin'?
Phineas: Hey Isabella! You know how a lot of kids go online, right? Well, to help keep them safe, Ferb and I decided to laser inscribe on a meteor our very own Cyberspace Rules of the Road!
Candace: Mom! Phineas and Ferb are making a public service announcement!

Phineas: Be careful what you put online! It never goes away! Ever! (Doofenshmirtz falls into a toilet on roller skates)
Phineas: Fame is fleeting!
Ferb: But the internet is forever.

Phineas: And you never know who's gonna see it!
Candace: (holding disk) There's no way I'm letting this baby out of my sight!
Norm: (lifting up roof) Hello, children! I'll take that!

Phineas: And just because it's online, doesn't mean it's true!
Stacy: Someone else just IM'd me, that someone else heard, that Jeremy's gonna call you and ask you for a special evening tonight! AAAAH!
Candace: AAAAAAAH!

Phineas: Because not everyone is who they say they are! (Agent P takes off disguise)
Doofenshmirtz: (gasps) Perry the Platypus?

Phineas: If you wouldn't do it in person, you shouldn't do it online! (A clip from "The Lake Nose Monster", that shows Phineas and Ferb dancing with Nosey, is shown)
Phineas: Gee.

Phineas: And most of all, remember to get off the computer... (Video is shown from "Comet Kermillian", during which Agent P flips Doofenshmirtz onto a red button instead of letting him stay on the computer that controls his giant heat laser, therefore destroying the Steak Containment Unit, or SCU, and releasing all the steaks)
Phineas (on-screen): C'mon Ferb! We're burnin' daylight!
Phineas: Put down the phone...
Candace: (holding phone) (gasps, drops phone) Gotta go!
Phineas: Because...
Ferb: Wait for it...
Phineas: Nothing beats spending time with real friends!
(Phineas and Ferb high-five each other)

Man on TV: ...And that's how you stay safe online, kids! Mmmhmm!
Phineas: Not bad, but we can do better. Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!
Isabella: Hey, Phineas. What'cha doin'?
Phineas: Ferb and I are filming our own public service announcement to show the world how to be safe and smart online. And now -- drumroll please, our very own Rules of the Road!
(Audience applauds)

Disney Channel Narrator: Be careful what you upload! It can be copied or even changed.
Phineas on computer: We'll-Be-Together-Forever-Isabella.
Isabella: Ah... The magic of digital editing.

Disney Channel Narrator: It always makes sure to protect your reputation.
Doofenshmirtz on monitor: You live forever here in Shangri-Laaaa!
(Monogram and Carl laugh)
Monogram: Carl, play that back!
Carl: Right away, sir!

Disney Channel Narrator: Because what's funny today, can embarrass you tomorrow.
Doofenshmirtz: This video is ruining my life!

Disney Channel Narrator: And please, try to be nice to one another.
Game Voice: Fight-uh!
(Baljeet beats Ferb)
Baljeet: Ferb! Did you let me win to save my fragile, nerdy ego?
Ferb: Oh, I'd never do that.

Disney Channel Narrator: And most of all, take a break from the internet, ease off the texting, and go grab your friends for some fun!
Isabella/Baljeet: Woo-hoo!

Disney Channel Narrator: With your parents' permission, visit disney.com/commonsense to learn how to be safe and smart online.
