"Jerk De Soleil" is the 12th broadcast episode of the first season of the animated television series Phineas and Ferb.
"Jerk De Soleil" was written by Bobby Gaylor and Martin Olson, and directed by series co-creator Dan Povenmire, who also provided the voice for Candace during scenes where the character was experiencing an allergic reaction, as the crew was unable to lower the voice of her regular actress, Ashley Tisdale, to the necessary degree.
