I love this. I know that Disney has done some character related blogging and tweeting before, but twitter was just made for Doof.

“You know what’s confusing? @ and #. Like a minute ago, you’d wonder why they were even on the phone. Suddenly they mean 5 different things,” Dr. Doofenshmirtz offered in a recent tweet.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz is voiced by Phineas & Ferb co-creator Dan Povenmire. The show airs Friday nights at 9:00-9:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel, and also stars Vincent Martella as Phineas Flynn, Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Ferb Fletcher, Ashley Tisdale as Candace Flynn, Mitchel Musso as Jeremy, Caroline Rhea as mom Linda Flynn-Fletcher, Richard O’Brien as dad Lawrence Fletcher, Dee Bradley Baker as Perry the Platypus, Alyson Stoner as Isabella and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh as Major Monogram. “Phineas and Ferb” is a production of Disney Television Animation.
“Phineas and Ferb” carries a TV-G parental guideline.
Greg,
This might be Disney’s way of trying to establish some sort of “official” Twitter for the show since there have been a number of Twitter accounts roleplaying as Doofenschmirtz for a long while now. It also may be promoting the Marvel and Phineas and Ferb crossover (yes really) that’s coming this March. That said Doofenschmirtz and Perry are probably the best things about Phineas and Ferb, especially since lately most of the episode is hearing Tisdale scream for 6 minutes.
The Marvel thing is coming in March? Wow.. I didn’t realize it was so soon.
