Transcript[]
Narrator: In 1982, a group of students went to detention for a crime they probably committed. Today, they're still working of their punishment. They survived as below average tutors. If you've got a problem, if no one else can help, if you are struggling to make the honor roll, maybe you can hire... the Straight A-Team!
[Title card: The Straight A-Team]
CRASH!
Teacher: Aah!
Hannibal: Who wants extra credit?
B.A Baracus: Don't worry about that test, kid. We're here to help you.
Murdock: Ooh hoo ooh. Come on, get in.
Alan: Not really suppose--
B.A Baracus: No time for jibber-jabber. Let's go!
Teacher: Aah!
BUMP!
B.A Baracus: Oh! Hang on a second. Gotta jiggle it here.
BUMP!
B.A Baracus: Oh, not quite. Oh, there we go.
CRASH!
Hannibal: Okay, little Timmy needs our help to get straight A's.
Alan: Actually, it's Alan and are you sure you guys are tutors? You look like mechanics.
Face: We're both. We're... mech-utors. Who do you think taught these guys how to built cool things outta nothing?
Ferb: Uhh--
Cannibal: Okay, here's the plan. B.A, you go undercover and help him ace his history class.
Alan: Hmm... "Important event that takes place in 1849".
B.A Baracus: Hey, fool! (Shows his fists, which say "GOLD RUSH")
Alan: "Gold Rush". Isn't that cheating?
B.A Baracus: I've got the whole Declaration of Independence on my butt! (BHHT!) Sorry, that was a dishonorable discharge.
Hannibal: Murdock, you go create a distraction while Face gives him a hand in art.
(Murdock crashes a piece of art while Face switches Alan's drawing to the Mona Lisa.)
Face: Straight from Paris.
(Murdock crashes the Mona Lisa.)
Hannibal: And I'll make sure you get a good grade by hacking to the school's mainframe. (BEEP.) "Enter password"? They're on to us! (CRASH!) And for the grand finale, we'll band together to complete his science project.
Alan: Actually, I'll stick with my lab partners.
B.A Baracus: Phineas and Ferb?
Phineas: Hey Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today. Make a better science project then the Straight A-Team.
Hannibal: Not if we can help it. Quick, boys! Grab what you can. We'll show Hideous and Nerd here who the better builders are.
(Face takes a wheel of a bycicle)
[Woman gasps]
(Murdock takes a shovel)
[Toddler cries]
(B.A Baracus takes a toilet seat)
Student: HEY, I WASN'T FINISHED!!
[The Straight A-Team works on their project until the bell rings.]
B.A Baracus: Time's up! What do you have?
Phineas: We made a black hole recycling bin. [Alan drinks a soda and tosses the can into the machine] What did you guys make?
Hannibal: We made a... our van with a shovel, a wheel, and a toilet stuck to it.
Teacher: Well, i think it's clear who gets the A.
Face: Wait! Did we also explain it can explode into a cool fireworks display?
Teacher: Really? Let's see.
Face: Where did we leave that remote? It must be in the van!
Phineas: Hey, where's Perry?
[Agent P has the remote in his hand, The Straight A-Team gasps, Agent P pushes the button and the van blows up taking The Straight A-Team with it.]
Perry (in pet mode): Quack, quack.
Teacher: Nice work, boys! I know I promised you an A, but are you okay with an A+ instead?
Phineas: Yes, yes I am.
Trivia[]
- In real life, Phineas and Ferb would be disqualified for getting the van blown up, even though Perry was the one that blew it up.
- Phineas wears glasses in this segment; in the actual show, he doesn't wear glasses.
- Also, Phineas and Ferb have five fingers in this segment, while in the actual show, they have four.
- In this sketch, Phineas wears a yellow long sleeved shirt, purple pants and loafers. In the actual show, he wears a orange and off-white short sleeved shirt, blue shorts, and tennis shoes.
- Also in this sketch, Ferb wears a white shirt, an orange tie, high-waisted jeans and loafers, but his actual show counterpart has a cream shirt with a button, no tie, slightly different jeans, and tennis shoes.
- The teacher that awards the prize is watching when Perry blows the van up, yet he still awards the prize to Phineas and Ferb. He must have noticed Agent P.
- This is the first time Disney's Phineas and Ferb get spoofed.
- Antagonist: Phineas Flynn, Ferb Fletcher, and Perry the Platypus/Agent P (but mostly Perry The Platypus/Agent P)
- In this segment, Ferb's design resembles the one in the actual TV show more than Phineas's design does.

- This is the 13th segment that the name of a MAD parody is said.
