A Sexy-man you say? Get the inside scoop on Phineas and Ferb’s double enty into Tumblr's biggest event of the year
Nemesis turned MORE. Heinz Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus (human) shock and amaze at this year’s Tumblr sexyman competition. Both were nominated, and now both compete. We sit down with these two fascinating men to learn more about this prestigious competition.
Q. WHAT IS THE TUMBLR SEXYMAN COMPETITION? Heinz: It’s been around for years now. Once a year, Tumblr users -these are a specific type of internet user- can nominate men, and if they get picked to compete, they get pitched together in a set of polls. Winners get pitted against each other until one remains. Last year, I made it to the finale, but I lost to Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls.
Q. DO TUMBLR USERS EVEN KNOW WHAT THE WORD SEXY MEANS? Heinz: HEY! How RUDE! You- Perry: (interrupting) Whether a person is sexy or not is a matter of taste, not a matter of fact.
Q? …AND THE PEOPLE ON TUMBLR HAVE EXCELLENT TASTE? Perry: Yes. Heinz: I’m not so sure. I DIDN’T WIN, LAST YEAR!
Q. SO YOU ARE IN IT TO WIN IT? Heinz: I love a good competition! We’ve only just started, but so far I seem to be doing well. Nothing feels as good as crushing the competition into a fine mist before moving on to the next
Q. AND YOU, PERRY? Perry: I’m only in the first round and already struggling, but I don’t mind. Once I am out, I get to chill out in my hammock and watch him (Heinz) win. If I make it to the second round, that would be great, but I don’t expect anything.
Q. AREN’T YOU USUALLY A PLATYPUS? Perry: (whilst clamping his hand over Heinz’s mouth.) My canon platypus appearance usually gets nominated for the sexy-furry competition. I got second place last year. And yes- I know Kermit is competing in the sexyman competition, but he’s not furry. He is a frog and also a muppet. My human appearance has gained traction on Tumblr and Ao3 over the last few years. There is plenty of fanart and fanfiction where I am human. For the PnF fandom and the Perryshmirtz shippers, this competition is a fun way to let more people know it’s out there.
Q. AND YOU ALWAYS LOOK THE SAME?Perry: No. No, I do not.
Q. AND IF YOU WIN? Heinz: I will use my newfound sexy powers to TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE TRI-STATE-AREA! VOTE FOR ME! DOOFENSHMIRTZ FOR SEXY MAN 2025! (It’s 2026)DOOFENSHMIRTZ FOR 2026- Man, where does the time go? Really? Is it 2026 already?
