An alert student has informed me that there's considerable Shakespeare to be found in Phineas and Ferb. I've missed this animated show entirely, but I'm always glad to search through something interesting to find the Shakespeare therein.
In this episode, a chameleon has been unexpectedly magnified to many times its usual size. The kids are trying to track it down, and one of them suggests giving up. We then get a response that draws from Winston Churchill and Shakespeare's Henry V:

The crowd is, as per usual, rallied by the stirring words of King Henry V. But I like the unexpected turn that the show takes when they all simply give up immediately.
If you know of any more Shakespeare in Phineas and Ferb, point us toward it, please!
