About

"MOM HOLY FUCK" is a quote featured in a fan-drawn comic inspired by Disney's animated children's TV show Phineas and Ferb, wherein the character Candace kicks a door open and yells the phrase in an over-the-top manner. Since surfacing on Tumblr in June 2013, the illustration has been parodied with dozens of characters from other well-known fictional universes, quite similar to the development of the "It's Goofy Time" parodies.

Origin

On June 21st 2013, Tumblr user Juniorbizarre uploaded a hand-drawn parody comic as a tribute to Phineas and Ferb, directly photographed from the blogger's personal sketchbook. In the TV series, the older sister of the main characters, Cadance, tries to tell their mother of her brother's exploits, while in the fan comic many of the common features of episodes in the series are parodies or overblown. This posted gained over 275,000 notes in two years. ^[1]

On June 28th of the same year, Juniorbizarre later posted the full comic in its entirety,^[2] and said "this was just a silly thing i did quite a while ago to make myself laugh :D i’m so glad other people think it’s funny too omg". The artist also has also called it the "crumpets comic" in reference to another quote from the piece.

Spread

On November 20th, 2014 Tumblr user Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuurdock uploaded a version they had made from an anonymous request about the-then upcoming Marvel movie Avengers: Age of Ultron. ^[3] Later that same day, Robert Downey Jr., the American actor well-known for his portrayal of Tony Stark and the superhero alter ego "Iron Man" in The Avengers, reblogged this image with the caption "The most accurate portrayal of Tony in Age of Ultron I've seen" and attribution to the original Tumblr blog on his Facebook page. The post garnered over 178,000 likes in less than one year.^[4]

On April 30th, 2015, artist and voice actor Kylee Henke uploaded a dramatic reading of the scripted dialogue via her personal blog on Tumblr, where it gathered over 51,000 notes in the following four months.^[5]

On October 18th, 2014, Tumblr^[6] user kobra-kids shared a tattoo of the comic. The post received more than 207,000 notes in less than six years (shown below).

Miscredit and Correction

On June 6th, 2016, Phineas and Ferb creator Dan Povenmire responded to a tweet referencing Juniorbizarre's comic. In the tweet, he said that it was not a fan-made work but actually drawn by someone on the crew.^[7][8]

Several people, including the original comic artist, Juniorbizarre, (under the username homewreckjunior, a now-deactivated twitter account) tweeted^[9] Povenmire to correct him. Povenmire replied that he was mistaken, and must have seen the work on a wall over a crew member's desk. He commented, "It's a great drawing. So much life in it."^[10]
