Hand-drawn sketch of Ferb bursting through a door with the caption 'MOM HOLY FUCK'

MOM HOLY FUCK

Published November 15, 2026

Juniorbizarre's hand-drawn 2013 Tumblr parody of Phineas and Ferb sent sister Candace kicking the front door open to scream the title line at her oblivious mother. The sketch spread as a fandom redraw template, with Robert Downey Jr. himself praising an Avengers: Age of Ultron version on Facebook in November 2014.

Overview

Every panel in the original comic follows the shape of a standard Phineas and Ferb cold open cranked to parody levels. Candace tries to bust her brothers for making another impossible contraption, their mother ignores her completely, and the strip lands with Candace exploding at the camera with the title scream1. Juniorbizarre drew the piece as a tribute to the Disney Channel series and later called it the 'crumpets comic' in reference to another line inside the strip2.

Fan redraws replace Candace and her family with characters from other shows, movies and games while matching the original paneling and the same final scream3. The joke works because almost any fandom has a sibling, a mentor or a boss figure who can be slotted into the Candace role, from Marvel superheroes to anime leads7.

Juniorbizarre uploaded the sketch to Tumblr on June 21st, 2013, photographing the pages directly from their personal sketchbook1. A tidier full version of the same strip followed on June 28th, with the artist writing that it was 'just a silly thing i did quite a while ago to make myself laugh' and nicknaming it the 'crumpets comic'2. The original post later picked up more than 275,000 notes over two years1.

How It Spread

The template picked up momentum when Tumblr user Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuurdock answered an anonymous ask by redrawing the panels with Tony Stark in place of Candace, timed to pre-release hype for Avengers: Age of Ultron, on November 20th, 20143. Robert Downey Jr. reblogged that version to his official Facebook page the same day, calling it 'the most accurate portrayal of Tony in Age of Ultron I've seen,' and the post collected over 178,000 likes in under a year4.

Other notable reposts gave the comic a long tail on Tumblr. On October 18th, 2014, user kobra-kids shared a photograph of a tattoo based on the strip, which went on to earn more than 207,000 notes6. Voice actor Kylee Henke recorded a dramatic reading of the scripted dialogue on April 30th, 2015, collecting over 51,000 notes in four months5.

Phineas and Ferb co-creator Dan Povenmire weighed in on the comic's history on June 6th, 2016, replying to a tweet that referenced the strip. He first said it was drawn by someone on the show's crew, then corrected himself after Juniorbizarre and other Tumblr fans tweeted at him, writing that he had probably seen the art hanging over a crew member's desk and calling it 'a great drawing. So much life in it'7.
