Phineas and Ferb was a television show that many of us can recall from the start of the theme song alone and it was a show that, although strange, had a lot going for it. From catchy songs to compelling characters, it was fun for everyone to watch and like all great things, eventually came to an end. Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz was a villain that had a lot of unique qualities to him, but most of us probably remember him from his sparring matches with the famous Perry the Platypus.

Regardless, it’s time to keep your Perry from waiting any longer on this Doofenshmirtz costume.

From the very start, Heinz’s life was anything but ordinary. The day he was born, neither of his parents “bothered to show up” and after that, Heinz spent every birthday alone. At one point he was disowned by his parents and forced to live with ocelots. This lasted for an unclear amount of time before he returned to his family, forced t act as his father’s beloved lawn gnome after it was repossessed due to his family’s lack of funds. At night, his only companions were the moon, a balloon he spraypainted called Balloony, and his neighbor Kenny.

Eventually, Heinz was even replaced by his father by a spitzenhound named Only Son which his father won in a contest. On top of this, Heinz’s little brother was born and favored by his parents. His little brother, Roger, happened to be everything that Heinz was not. Roger was sporty, popular, charming, etc. and this made Heinz feel especially alienated.

One of the comments to this video: “The fact that in one the episodes, he actually had a machine that converted all his bad memories into strength/evilness for him, kinda like ReDestro’s stress being converted into strength”


As Heinz grew older his life only became a series of failures and disappointing challenges that led him to become evil, attending evil school and eventually trying to rule the Tri-State area.

So, how do you get Heinz Doofenshmirtz’s look?

Well, it’s actually pretty simple.

  1. Start with a black, long-sleeved turtle neck and some forest green pants.
  2. Throw a white lab coat over that and some solid black training shoes.

That’s really all there is to becoming Heinz Doofenshmirtz but if you really want to add to it, don’t forget a stuffed nemesis, Perry the Platypus. This look and many others were designed by the talented Jill Friemark! It’s a marvel what Disney’s done to make such an intriguing character but it’s your turn to propose your first evil scheme in this costume!
