I thought it would spark a few interesting arguments and/or opinions, but I see what you 2mean.

5. Like I said, I liked it, but like many of the episodes of the list, some topics should have been examined more than others. I can see why people would consider it one of the best, but it didn't leave as big an impact on me as it did with other people.

4. I thought it tried to be a throwback to Season 1, but the jokes weren't clever enough, and the story wasn't as creative as some of the older episodes.

3. I love the concept, but the wonder that Atlantis should bring wasn't examined well. Even with the song, the episode felt completely minimal and not worthy of much interest. But yeah, I can see how our opinions would differ, many of the jokes involve Irving, and I didn't enjoy Irving is several episodes, including this one.

2. I know, it was a pilot, but I don't understand how people would call it one of the greats. With shows such as MLP: FIM (I know, I always bring that show up) and The Last Airbender (Though the pilot wasn't the greatest, it was still solid enough), they at least had a solid story and creative ideas to go into it. Phineas and Ferbs pilot, to me, seemed like a demo to the show. Just to basically understand what the show was gonna be about. I think I find this episode overrated because people always consider it one of the best, when really, it would take a few episodes before they got a firm grasp on the characters, pacing, and humor of the series. I like the episode a bit, but "Best Episode"? No. Not in my opinion, at least.

1. I just didn't find the jokes that funny or relavent. The songs were odd, and while I can see why people would like them, they just made me shrug. I think an example of a GOOD parody would be that quick montage in Raging Bully, which did a homage to Rocky (Though the title suggests it would parody Raging Bull, but I digress), which was quick and humorous. I understand this is a parody of older Spiderman cartoons, but the villain I didn't think was that funny/threatening (It's often one or the other, sometimes both), the jokes were either obsecure references or just too odd to be funny, and the episode tried to be dramatic at times, but they seem oddly thrown in. Also, Doof was funny, but he barely had a purpose in the episode. HOWEVER, this is all strictly opinion, if you have a different opinion, that's fine. I'm just trying to help you understand why I don't think these episodes are that great.
