Too Many Platypus Coincidences…Am I In The Truman Show?

It's not that you've guessed right, Dan. It's that Perry has been so famous and successful that all the real platypuses feel pressured to be more like him. It's gotten so bad that they're genetic altering themselves to be teal

Ten years from now scientists are gonna discover that platypuses actually know martial arts.

If I had a nickel for every time Dan made a blind guess about platypus and managed to get it correct without realizing i would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

"Sometimes, my genius scares me." - Dan Povenmire probably

Dan's got omniscience, but soley on Platypus knowledge.

I like how he made a platypus character without getting any of the facts and still managed to make it accurate

- Do you know platypuses aren't green? - And Kids' heads aren't triangles. What's your point? 😂

Dan is such a source of happiness. The show was a major inspiration when I was a kid. I had very dejected parents, and I ended up getting raised more by TV than anything else. The show fuelled my creativity, and inspired me to do whatever I set my mind to. I do custom wood carvings now, and I know had it not been for shows like Phineas and Ferb, I never would have pursued something where everything I do is about creation. It’s really great as an adult now to see Dan making content I can still relate to and enjoy. I’m sure it’s also bizarre for him that most us kids who grew up watching his show are now in our early to mid 20’s.

If I had a nickel for every time Dan Povenmire predicated the future I’d have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice…

So Dan created Doof... but Doof has been orchestrating Dan's creative direction. This is truly a "platypus or the egg" dilemma.

This 'Too Many OC Coincidences' happens to me a lot too when it comes to chose a name for my OCs. There were some instances when I would just chose the name for them which sounded great for their character. After that, I am deep into writing the characters' stories and their development as characters, everything is good and fleshed out. But then one day I decided to look up to their name's meaning (for contexts, most of the time I am done with character designing and when I want to give a name to them I usually look up for their meanings first) and boom what a coincidence, their names I accidentally had chosen for them because they just sounded right, described their personality so perfectly.

I literally just dropped my phone in shock when he showed that platypus under the blacklight and it was the same color. Like... WOW! Centuries upon millennia of discoveries and academic disciplines and a good chunk scientific community just got 1-uped by an animator looking to add style to his creation. I've been having a depressing week so far but this was the feel good story I desperately needed right now. Thanks :)

Dan should update his resumé to "Animator, screenwriter, musician, voice actor, Nostradamus of platypus facts"

This is the world I am happy to live in.

If he had a nickel for every time he accidentally got information about platypuses correct, he'd have two nickels.

This is amazing. Knew he was a genius. But also, love how when he gets excited his voice so naturally turns into Doof 😂

In another world, Dan is an zoologist, specializing in egg-laying mammals.

Next thing we know, there will be a triangle-headed kid

Something similar happened in the creation of the Jurassic Park, before the movie, most discovered Raptors were about the size of chickens, but the director of the movie wanted a larger raptor for technological and theatrical purposes. It was only in the middle of production that the Utah Raptor was discovered and validated the size of the raptors in the movies

I swear, Dan bragging in a Doofenshmirtz voice is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day
