Phineas and Ferb are the same age. Has been confirmed by both Dan and Swampy
https://forgottenpnffacts.tumblr.com/post/186829387114/phineas-and-ferb-are-the-same-age-around-10-years
I also saw Ferb as a little older that Phineas. He’s taller and very intelligent, but shy and I can see him wanting to be held back a year or two in order to be with his step brother, especially when he first moved to America.
Yup. In any case, Phineas and Ferb have totally different genetics, and only one parent height known, so any height comparison between the boys mean very little in terms of age.
So in summary, Ferb being a little older is my impression, but there’s little evidence.
Oh, Ferb is definitely older than Phineas, more than 6 months.
But the question is: What Ferb is really hiding from Phineas and us that we don't know about?
Dan said Ferb is 19 in Act Your Age. I still don't think it's *that* much less creepy, though. My issue has shifted more to the fact it's random fanservice.
Same! People talk trash on Monty for some reason but I thought it was a funny storyline with good chemistry and potential. I'm bummed they're most likely going to kill it just because Ferbnessa was more popular.
We did not talk trash on Monty. We just thought that He and Vanessa would just get back together, which it will happen soon.
But maybe you're right. We should cut Ferb and Vanessa's relationship out of the picture.
Personally I thought Monty and Vanessa had good chemistry, but more in a flirty way. On their coffee shop date we see them fight about and side with their dads, but still want to see each other again. Personally I interpreted that as them not having a forever type of relationship.
It's not entirely consistent; we know that [ten years in the future](https://phineasandferb.fandom.com/wiki/Act_Your_Age) Ferb heads off to college (something you'd typically do at around 18 years old), but also that [twenty years in the future](https://phineasandferb.fandom.com/wiki/Phineas_and_Ferb%27s_Quantum_Boogaloo) he and Phineas will be thirty years old.
Cannonically Ferb is older then Phineas but within a year because all the kids are in the same grade.
My personal head cannon so that the Fernessa ship isnt weird is The Snap. Danville is cannonically in the Marvel Universe, Vanessa got snapped and came back 5 years later so instead of being 26 and 19 theyre 21 and 19
Look, none of us are complaining, but we just didn't like the Act Your Age episode.
Like I said yesterday, if you want to see Phineas and Isabella together, that's fine by us, but we just wanted something different, something more diverse, and something that we never saw before in 17 years like a Phineas and Ferb deleted scenes footage that was originally cut thanks to the FCC's rules and regulations.
I’ve always thought Ferb is older than Phineas, but I’m blanking on if it’s ever specified. Since he’s a stepbrother, it’s even more unclear.

I'm pretty sure he's younger

My brother is taller than me but I'm still older than him.
Understood, I wasn’t taking height as definitive proof, just slightly more likely.
Fair enough. I'm just saying my brother has been taller than me a good long while now, but he was born a year after me.

No, Ferb is younger than Phineas. Probably by a year.
How did you come to that conclusion? (Curious)
Probably the song Little Brother. Second line is, 🎶Then came another, Little Brother, of your own. 🎶
The song doesn’t indicate age though; Ferb joins the family later as a boy not a baby, when you see the visuals.
Which makes it very weird that Linda considers it perfectly normal to see a picture of the boys as babies in the episode with the Babe-inator
I'm pretty sure it's implied that Ferb is younger than him.
No it just means that’s when Ferb joined the family

My issue was the more personal matter that I was really digging Monty and Vanessa. That's just a matter of taste, though.

Idk who "we" is, because I have seen people say they find him boring or that they didn't like his plot.
Man, sometimes shows piss me off when it comes to writing decisions. Especially fan service.
Yeah Vanessa had better chemistry with Monty.

The creators said that they wanted Phineas and Ferb to be the same age, but not twins, that’s why they made them step brothers
How reliable is Frederator though…
I mean I personally don’t care about Ferbnessa at all though
Tbh, Vanessa had better chemistry with Monty.
Right.
Ferb does have a much deeper voice than Phineas
My issue is that it felt more like cheap fan service and out of nowhere. She had better chemistry with Monty.
Montenessa better
It is.
Dan said that Ferb was 19 on Act Your Age, so he was 9 in the og summer

No, Ferb is younger than Phineas.
I just said that Ferb's older than Phineas by 6 months he had a birthday like 2 months ago.
I never found it disturbing tbh mostly because it's a cartoon and doesn't need people to complain

I mean my issue is that it feels like fan service. Vanessa had way better chemistry with Monty by far. Ferb doesn't need a romantic partner.
He does. Even if he tells Phineas because what him and Ferb have is platonic, special, and not to mention genuine.
