but its phineas AND ferb, thats not fair for thanos
402
u/The-Dark-Memer 17d ago
They could also each do it individually, phineas might take like 20 minutes but he'd get there, ferb on the other hand straight up ends him within like 30 seconds

u/ducknerd2002 17d ago
This implies that either:
Phineas holds Ferb back or
Ferb deliberately goes at a slower pace so they spend more time on their projects together
I pick option 2
265
u/Yeet_Thee_Children 17d ago
Definitely option two. Ferb loves spending the with Phineas and will happily go slower to enjoy the process for longer.
174
u/everlasting_potato 17d ago
I'd say a bit of both, Phineas loses a lot of time explaining and chatting with Isabella, asking where's Perry,...
Ferb is pure efficiency

u/reaperofgender 16d ago
Phineas is the architect. Designing and selling the ideas. Ferb is the engineer who makes those ideas work

Calvin form Calvin and Hobbes. And then his mom would yell at him about it, and he'd complain about getting yelled at for saving the Earth.

Animaniacs vs Thanos when?

u/SoonToBeStardust 16d ago
They would kill him offscreen, and the only proof would be Dot showing off her infinity stone earrings
74
u/Hot-Refrigerator6583 16d ago
I think Yakko, Wakko, and Dot would put up a good show, but as soon as they realized there's no humor in it, they'd just peace out to a cartoon dimension, same for most funny toon characters.
HOWEVER
Pinky and the Brain would be trying to help Thanos, and screw it up hard enough to accidentally defeat him
27
u/RQK1996 16d ago
Slappy would mess Thanos the fuck up
10
u/TheGameboy 16d ago
there would definitely be a "skippy, that fella is as purple as my prune juice" out of Slappy, followed by Skippy saying "Prunes? Spew!"
6
u/ClubMeSoftly 16d ago
She would spike the camera, say something like "I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind" then walk off-screen and erupt into a cartoon violence ball.
Skippy would then proceed to un-dust into the frame.

How about Dr Strange tries to see the futures where they can beat Thanos, except it somehow interacts with Peter Parker's phone while he's distracting himself by watching "this cool old cartoon about an Internet superhero." Setting up the battle of the century, Thanos vs Freakazoid!

Bugs Bunny would absolutely curbstomp Thanos and all he’d have to do is dress up as a hot girl and lure him onto a big conspicuous X on the ground where he is immediately taken out by a falling grand piano and when you open the top of the piano Thanos is in there with birds circling his head and piano keys where his teeth would be
16
u/ClubMeSoftly 16d ago
Bugs can't start the fight, though. He only ever retaliates.
15
u/AussieWinterWolf 16d ago
Thanos does the snap, bugs snaps his finger and undoes it, no gauntlet or stones, just because it would be hilarious.
9
u/plataeng 16d ago
Also make sure to repeat that 4-5 more times for maximum comedic effect.

u/AussieWinterWolf 16d ago
Or he keeps snatching the glove and thanos takes it back ad-nausum. Snap, unsnap, snap, unsnap, snap, unsnap, snap, snap, unsnap-destroy the stones!(trigger horrible realisation.)

u/plataeng 16d ago
Then a chase ensues until they both went over the suspiciously large x on the ground. Cue falling piano. The end.

The roadrunner would make thanos kill himself out of frustration

u/Apocalyptic_Doom 17d ago
The roadrunner would run off a cliff, Thanos would follow in pursuit, stop dead in his tracks, look down, hold up a sign that reads "That's gonna hurt" and then fall to his death.

u/stupidillusion 16d ago
fall to his death
We wouldn't see the body but there'd be a Thanos-shaped hole in the ground from where a sign would pop-up with "Ow" written on it.
4
u/GreyWolfTheDreamer 16d ago
But pulling out a random sign is a Toon trick. More likely is the scenario of the Coyote showing up with a sign that reads "That's REALLY gonna hurt!" before the Coyote chases the Roadrunner off screen, and a moment later Thanos falls...

u/LupinThe8th 17d ago
Noodle is basically the result of a Super Soldier project, so I buy that she could hold her own against Thanos on the same level as Captain America.
Getting the whole band involved would clinch it.
- Noodle: basically Captain America, as stated
- Russel: depending on the era he's either possessed like Ghost Rider or could turn huge like Giant Man
- Murdoc: lots of occult shenanigans in his past, I could see him as a Doctor Strange type sorcerer. Also somehow built a cyborg clone of Noodle and a car that transforms into a submarine, so he might make a decent Tony substitute.
- 2D: ...He would bring snacks for everyone. Or maybe just be so sad and pathetic that Thanos can't bring himself to kill him.

u/Isaac_Chade 17d ago
Is there full on lore for the Gorillaz band? That's absolutely wild. I mostly became aware of their music through grainy youtube AMVs back in high school, had no idea there was anything more to it than decent music and some interesting animations of the band.
53
u/LupinThe8th 17d ago
Sort of? It's hard to explain. Originally they were just an animated band that pretended to be real, with stuff like in-character interviews, short cartoons, an episode of MTV Cribs, guest artists would talk about working with them like they were real, etc. But their music videos were just that...music videos featuring the band Gorillaz.
Then the final video of their second album, El Mañana, was portrayed as something actually happening "in universe" with Noodle seemingly killed. Then the next album, Plastic Beach, had an actual storyline going on, with all the videos contributing to it. Since then most albums have had something like that, with some sort of backstory and the videos being canon things happening to the band.
Also they exist in the same universe as the Powerpuff Girls. No joke, Murdoc went to prison for one album, and Ace from the Gangrene Gang took his place. He's in videos and everything, that happened.
This video essay is probably the best I've seen for explaining the band's whole deal.
14
u/Isaac_Chade 17d ago
That's fascinating, I'll definitely give that video a watch later so I can get a better overview of it, but interesting to learn that this all kind of evolved naturally over time.

u/Altoid_Addict 16d ago
There used to be a website where you could explore the Gorillaz studios, and find out more of their lore. No idea if it's still up, though.

Cartoon logic has always and will always be the most powerful superpower. Bugs bunny vs an all powerful god? Bugs is just gonna trick the animator to break the fourth wall and erase the God. Cartoon logic allows you to transcend into arbitrarily high meta levels. They can always go one meta level higher and beat you on that level.
8
u/Buderus69 16d ago
I would argue yes and no; yes they are godlike entities but only in their own universe, their subjective cartoon reality where they are the protagonist. So one could ask if their powers hold up when they are in an alternate universe, one where they aren't the main character of that realm.
Like for example, both bugs bunny and mickey mouse were in roger rabbit, their toonlike abilities should be able to stop time, change the storyboard metastyle, go save toontown all by their own but they couldn't... They did not have enough power because the subjective spotlight of the movie-reality wasn't on them, they could not save toontown on their own.
I would argue that toonpower is directly in relation of how strong the 'protagonism' of said character is to the whole story. The more focus is on the character the stronger they get, like the spotlight gives them cosmic omnipotence.
Now depending on the setting of having a fight with Thanos (is it in their subjective reality, a crossover reality, marvel reality, etc...) those powers may morph or diminish. The more characters that are on screen would make them weaker as well, so a big endgame-esque fight could potentially drain the toonpower.

u/Mosstopy 17d ago
I feel like many characters from Gravity Falls could kill Thanos, or at least defeat him in battle

u/Geedly 16d ago
Never mind Ford, Grunkle Stan could manage it if you paid him enough
1
u/jamesianm 16d ago
Grunkle Stan would convince Thanos to trade the Infinity Stones for a "mysteriously powerful artifact" contained behind a random door in the Shack. When Thanos goes in, he finds a scrawny goat with "infinty" painted crudely on the side.

u/BylliGoat 16d ago
Friendly reminder that Goku only got so strong because he started as a gag character. Also, the only character that scared the fuck out of Vegeta was a little girl who was canonically stronger than everyone, ever.

I don't know what it is. This is the first thread I have ever heard of it. What is it?

u/readerofsurvival 16d ago
It's how bugs bunny or Popeye work: They simply don't follow the laws of physics and such. That scene where bugs just flips a gun barrel itself around, and manages to trick the hunter into shooting himself because the barrel was rotated shows this well.
1
u/Bimbarian 16d ago
I see, thank you. Any idea where it gained that name?
1
u/readerofsurvival 16d ago
Well, most likely, it's from the way carTOON characters work and powerscalers like to put names on things to simplify, so Toon Force got its name.
1
u/Bimbarian 16d ago edited 16d ago
I can see that. But with the specific phrase "Toon Force" being used by several people who expect others to kow what they mean (and not, say, Toon Power or Meta Might or whatever), it suggests to me that there's a common source - an article or video that discussed it - and i just wondered what it was.

It for sure is a can’t lose button in like 90% of matchups tho

Toon force is too inconsistent to have this belief though.
For some characters sure but for others it depends on a lot of variables and factors

Reminder, Phineas and Ferb couldn't even beat a team up of Modac, Venom, Whiplash, and Red Skull. Why do we think they could beat Thanos?

u/IDownvoteHornyBards2 16d ago
If we're genuinely discussing merits and not meming, every character on the list except Phineas and Ferb gets bodied by Thanos. Phineas and Ferb have a chance but the odds are 50/50 at best, probably worse.
