Mr. and Mrs. Doofenshmirtz are major antagonists of the Disney Channel series Phineas and Ferb. They are the biological (yet neglectful and abusive) parents of Heinz Doofenshmirtz who are responsible for many of his backstories that turned him into a life of evil.
They were voiced by Dee Bradley Baker and Cloris Leachman.
Biography
It was told by Heinz through his backstories that he had a terrible childhood in his native country Drusselstein that his parents caused. As it turns out, they did many horrible things to Heinz when he was child such as:
- being absent from his day of birth
- forcing him to wear girl clothes following the birth of his younger brother Roger
- forcing him to become a lawn gnome after their real one was repossessed
- shutting off any contact with him after he refused to make a high dive out of fear
- briefly disowning him and letting him be raised by a family of ocelots
- favoring Roger over his skills in kickball while ignoring Heinz's skill in stacking cups
- and tricking him into leaving for ship for America so that they can be rid of him.
Due to this tragic childhood, Heinz went into a life of evil, eventually becoming an evil scientist and creating an evil business. Despite this, Heinz tried to find his way into earning the love and respect of his parents, but ultimately failed due to their behavior; even Heinz's nemesis Perry the Platypus feels sorry for him after seeing how very shallow Mr. and Mrs. Doofenshmirtz are over their behavior towards Heinz. Also, despite his tragic childhood, Heinz has no intention of repeating the cycle of abuse towards his own daughter Vanessa as he intends to make her life happy regardless of his reputation as an evil scientist, a revelation that Vanessa accepts as she considers her father to be a better parent than her own grandparents.
It is unknown what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Doofenshmritz following Heinz's retirement from evil.
Trivia
- Given to their neglectful and abusive behavior towards Heinz (despite being played for laughs) and the fact that they received no comeuppance for it, Mr. and Mrs. Doofenshmirtz are considered to be two of the most hated characters of the series by fans.
