Pinky and the Brain are cartoon characters from the American animated television series Animaniacs. Later, they starred in their own spin-off animated television series called Steven Spielberg Presents Pinky and the Brain, and even later in Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain. These latter series were produced by Steven Spielberg and Warner Bros. Animation, and aired from 1995 to 1998 on The WB Television Network, running for 65 episodes.

The two are genetically enhanced lab mice who reside in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility. Each week sees Brain come up with a new plan for the two (led by him) to take over the world, which ultimately ends in failure. In common with many other Animaniacs shorts, many episodes are in some way a parody of something else—usually a film. The cartoon's famous tagline is: "Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night Pinky - Try to take over the world!"

Although they plan to conquer the earth, there isn't a lot of antagonism seen in them, and in a Christmas special Pinky even wrote to Santa that Brain had the world's best interests at heart. This is reinforced by Brain's promises that he will provide more funding for law enforcement and the like.

The series won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class—Animated Program in 1996.

The Brain

The Brain bears a resemblance to Orson Welles, particularly in his vocal characteristics (voiced by Maurice LaMarche). LaMarche won an Annie Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement for Voice Acting by a Male Performer in an Animated Television Program Production for this role in 1998. Series creator Tom Ruegger initially based Brain on a caricature of WB animation staffer Tom Minton, a long-time cartoonist. The Welles connection comes from LaMarche, who is a big fan of the actor/director. LaMarche describes Brain's voice as "65% Orson Welles, 35% Vincent Price". Brain is highly intelligent and develops Rube Goldberg plans for global domination. His tail is bent like a staircase (which he often uses to pick the lock of the cage), and his head is large and wide, supposedly housing his abnormally large brain. He appears to be coldly unemotional and speaks in a deadpan manner. Nevertheless, Brain has a very subtle sense of humor, and has even fallen in love once, with Billie (voiced by Tress MacNeille), a rather dippy girl mouse with a Queens accent (perhaps based on the Citizen Kane character Susan Alexander, in another Welles connection). Intellectually, Brain sees his inevitable rise to power as beneficial to the world rather than merely being greedy for power.

The characteristics of Brain would lead one to believe that he is more suited to be an antagonist rather than a protagonist, but the series tends to present him as a quixotic fellow striving for greatness against the odds, evoking sympathy from the audience and causing viewers to like him, despite his seemingly evil plans for world domination. Such a thing is typical of an anti-hero, which many consider Brain to be. The absurdity of a normally insignificant creature hungering for world dominance adds to the comical effect, and one senses a Napoleon complex within him, despite the gravitas of his Wellesian diction - highlighted when other characters inadvertently become as smart as or smarter than him. Unfortunately for the Brain, his schemes are inevitably doomed to failure by reason of one or more of a few common mishaps: Pinky doing something idiotic to ruin the plan, Brain gravely under/overestimating the masses' intelligence, or, simply, bad luck. Brain is more compassionate than many give him credit for: he rarely seeks to do anybody direct harm, and in many episodes he rescues Pinky and other mice from being killed, and defends the world from those who seek world domination for their own evil ends.

Brain's similarity to Orson Welles was made explicit in the Animaniacs episode "Yes, Always", which was based upon an outtake from one of Welles' television commercials, colloquially known as Frozen Peas, in which he ranted about the poor quality of the script. This cartoon was described by writer Peter Hastings as "a $250,000 inside joke": LaMarche used excerpts from it as sound check material, and Hastings took it to its logical conclusion. Strengthening the Welles connection was an episode in which Brain took on the mind-clouding powers of a radio character called "The Fog": a parody of The Shadow, a popular radio character for which Welles once provided the voice. Other episodes alluding to Welles included an episode entitled "The Third Mouse," a parody of The Third Man in which the Brain played the part of Welles' character Harry Lime (with Pinky as Holly Martins), and an episode, "Battle for the Planet," in which Brain, inspired by Welles' infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast and the hysteria it provoked, stages an alien invasion on television, believing that this will cause humanity to turn itself over to his rule.

Pinky

Pinky (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is another genetically modified mouse who shares the same cage at Acme Labs but is substantially less bright. He speaks with a heavy Cockney accent (though English people familiar with genuine Cockney accents may well dispute this). He frequently says nonsensical interjections such as "narf", "zort","poit", and "troz" (the last of which Pinky started saying after noticing it was "'zort' in the mirror"). He also used "fjord" and "gnurf" on unique occasions, and "natch" in an episode set in the film noir era. Rob Paulsen won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for this role in 1999. Series creator Tom Ruegger based Pinky on former Tiny Toon Adventures writer and director Eddie Fitzgerald (who has also worked on Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures and Ren and Stimpy) who is said to have constantly said "Narf" around the Tiny Toons production office. Although Pinky is also an albino lab mouse like the Brain, he has a straighter tail, a severe overbite, and is taller than the Brain. Pinky is more open-minded than the Brain, and much more up-beat. He doesn't let troubles ruin his day, mostly because he's too scatter-brained to notice them. Pinky also works with Brain despite the fact that Brain insults him constantly and often beats him over the head. However, Pinky actually seems to enjoy this, laughing after every hit. Pinky seems to be just happy spending time with his best friend.

Pinky has a number of unusual special abilities, something like 'magic' but caused by his genetic engineering. Most notably, he occasionally levitates, but also has been known to come up with incredible insights on the scale that one would expect from Brain, contrasting with his otherwise stupid appearance. This was also demonstrated in another episode where we get a 'Pinky-Vision' of one of the typical night's activities (i.e. taking over the world), and discover that Pinky is in fact extremely intelligent, but in a totally different way to what was expected - he in fact has a great imagination coupled to a very highly developed level of extrapolation. His seemingly random statements actually arise from an observation, tempered by a whimsical imagination, which then are extrapolated to an absurd conclusion. For instance, on seeing the Brain in a distorting mirror, imagines him fatter, and then 'what if the Brain looked like a Hippopotamus?' leads to thoughts about high couture, and finally the utterance - 'Yes Brain, but what's a fashionable colour for Elephant ribbons these days?'

The viewer might consider that Brain should be frustrated by the success that could have been possible if he'd listened to or asked Pinky about the situation and/or plan, but Brain rarely shows anything more than a confused or sarcastic face and sometimes a comment, and usually near the end of the episode.

The show's theme song informs us that "One is a genius, the other's insane." Taken at face value, the Brain is supposed to be a genius and Pinky is supposed to be insane. Pinky's unpredictable and startling insight versus Brain's rather more plodding and stubborn approach to "taking over the world" has led more than one fan to suggest that Pinky is, in fact, the real genius rather than Brain. Other elements suggesting Pinky's mental superiority can be noticed throughout all episodes. Watching the cartoon through this perspective makes the viewer aware of human behavior that isn't logical. One example is figures of speech which the Brain uses to give Pinky commands. Pinky carries out actions based on the literal meaning of the commands.

In at least one instance, Pinky had much of an episode centering around himself wherein he took on some of Brain's motivation for taking over the world. This episode has Pinky becoming extremely successful at ruling at least a town, but of course the whole thing is put through the wringer of Pinky's 'clockwork orange' view of things, hence Pinky's choice of naming the town: "I think I'll call it 'Shiny Pants', because everyone in there will want to wear shiny pants..." and goes on to describe his ultimate goal and the path to get there. Seeing Pinky's unexpected success, Brain is understood to wonder questions similar to many that have been asked for centuries: "why do people with such capacity for power seem to waste it on crazy things that work out somehow, but shouldn't?"

In one episode, Pinky addressed a group of world leaders, lauding Brain's talents and intelligence to them, and convincing them to give Brain control of their countries. Brain, who was very upset at the time, repulsed the leaders with his anger and rudeness, leading them to rescind their offer. A mortified Brain later realized that Pinky had delivered the world to him on a silver platter, and he himself scuttled the deal. The supreme irony is that the apparently stupid Pinky nearly took over the world using honest and open discussion and talk, as opposed to the overly complicated and Machiavellian strategies Brain himself typically uses, and that Brain himself prevented the conquest from taking place.

Brain often asks Pinky about famous people when needed, for example when a basketball player was receiving attention, Brain asks why, which concludes in him using basketball to attempt to take over the world. It is unexplained how Pinky knows about famous people, probably from TV as they have a remote control and an experimental television set.

In an episode centering on a flashback about the day the two of them received their intelligence, it is revealed that it was Pinky's idea to attempt to take over the world.

Snowball

File:Snowball in comics.jpg
Snowball the Hamster

A recurring character in the series is Snowball the Hamster, Brain's former friend (voiced by Roddy McDowall). The two were both subjected to genetic splicing, and thus both became super-intelligent. Snowball builds a gigantic robotic body, Bill Grates (a play on Bill Gates), and takes control of Microsponge (a take-off of Microsoft). Snowball uses Microsponge to buy 51 percent of the world, and thus, to Brain's limitless horror, Snowball actually succeeds in taking over the world! Brain retaliates by reactivating his own robot body, and fights Snowball. In the process, Snowball's robot body, i.e. Bill Grates, explodes, resulting in the downfall of Microsponge and the end of Snowball's reign.

While Brain's wish to rule the world is more or less benign (he seems to think he can run the world better than it currently is), Snowball's desire to rule the world is inherently evil and if he were to gain long-lasting dominion over the planet, he would probably destroy it. When Brain derailed Snowball's attempt to take over the world via the Microsponge plan, Brain actually considered this "saving" the world.

Other characters

  • Billie--A female mouse who seems to have the traits of Pinky, yet is actually very intelligent. Both Brain and Snowball are in love with her because of her intellect; however, she has a crush on Pinky because she likes his easygoing personality. She ponders why Pinky remains loyal to Brain and tries to separate Pinky from him. Billie's shrill voice and manner of speech are a play on the Susan Alexander character from Citizen Kane as a complement to Brain's Orson Welles-like portrayal.
  • The Circle--An Illuminati like organization who wants to use Brain to take over the world. Their leader is a direct parody of Casper Gutman from Maltese Falcon and one of its agents has a striking resemblance to Christopher Walken. Brain continues to flee from them, while planning his attempts to take over the world. The chorus in the group's theme continues to say "Lactose."
  • Phar Fig Newton--A horse version of Pinky. Phar Fig Newton is a race horse with a long losing record and is the underdog at the track. When Brain races as a jockey to raise money for one of his plans, he decides to ride the top-rated horse in the race after getting rid of the jockey. However, Pinky chooses Phar Fig Newton as the racing horse of choice, much to Brain's annoyance. Nevertheless, after being motivated to rescue Pinky from being trampled after falling on to the track, Phar Fig Newton wins the race. Phar Fig Newton's name is a pun on "Fahrvergnügen", Volkswagen's marketing slogan of the 1980's, as well as a reference to the race horse Phar Lap, and the well-known US confection Fig Newtons. She is ugly and fat. She made two cameos in Wakko's Wish, and Dr. Scratchansniff referred to her as "Phar Fig Newton horsie girl".
  • Larry--A white rat who only appeared with Pinky and the Brain once. He's an obvious parody of Larry, one of the Three Stooges; as he has the hair style of the Three Stooges Larry, and like his human counterpart, he acts as a middle man between Brain's intellect and Pinky's stupidity. There's also an original theme song for the group, "Pinky and the Brain.........and Larry," with Larry's name being hastily spliced into key parts of the show's normal jingle. The recurring theme of the episode, is the acknowledgment of Larry's existence, just like in real life where Larry is deemed the most underrated of the Three Stooges. Absolutely no explanation is given for Larry's presence - Pinky and the Brain act as if he has always been there, even though the viewer has never seen him before (and will never see him again) which could be another reason why his existence is constantly being pointed out. He was voiced by Billy West, and his lines consisted solely of greetings and reminders that he is a part of the episode. Although never onscreen again, he is referred to by both Pinky and Brain in subsequent episodes. Larry's appearance seems to parody adding new characters to an already established cast. It also foreshadows Elmyra seemingly being forced into the show in the final season.
  • Roman Numeral One (Romy) - Brain attempted to clone himself in the episode Brinky to create an army of Brains to take over the world, however, an errant toenail clipping from Pinky got into the tissue sample. As such, the resulting mouse ending up as a mix of both Brain's and Pinky's traits; he possesses Brain's somewhat large head and a good portion of his intellect, while having Pinky's teeth and propensity to utter "Narf" and "Poit". Effectively the offspring of both mice, Brain calls him "Roman Numeral One" (implying that more clones were to follow), which Pinky shorts to "Romy". While Brain continues to try to groom Romy to assist him in taking over the world, Pinky overly mothers him in Pinky's own ways (including following the advice of Dr. Spock; the "parenting" conflict causes Romy to run away to become an artist and "to follow the Grateful Dead" for a year.

Brain's plans

Template:Spoiler Brain has had many, many plans to take over the world. Following are just some of them.

  • He has gone on the gameshow Gyp-parody (an obvious parody of Jeopardy!), and attempted to win enough money to buy a "super-conductive magnetic infindibulator" to take over the world. At Final Gyp-parody, Brain can win the money he needs if he bets all his winnings and gets the Final Gyp-parody answer correct. Ironically, the Final Jeopardy requires Brain to identify a quote that Pinky was constantly using that episode. But because he paid no attention to Pinky, Brain loses everything. This episode is a dual parody; beside being a parody of the game show, the plot is a blatant and direct lift of the classic Honeymooners episode where Ralph goes on "The $99,000 Answer" Pinky's quote "Bang! Zoom! Right in the kisser!" is the tip of the hat to that fact. Also, some may see the loss as a reference to the Cheers episode "What is...Cliff Clavin?", also set on Jeopardy!.
  • In another attempt, Brain becomes a country singer who plays a hypnotic message in his video. His stage name is 'Bubba Bo Bob Brain', which Pinky cannot pronounce. Brain becomes the country's most popular singer (since he hypnotises his audiences to buy all his records), and on the night he does a nation-wide show, he plans to give the hypnotic command to obey him as the country's leader. But when set to give the command, Pinky once again calls Brain by the wrong name. A frustrated Brain snaps 'Just forget my name. And while you're at it, forget you ever knew me!'. The crowd obeys the command and forgets about Brain all together, foiling his plan once again.
  • Brain has run for President of the United States. His running mate is Admiral Pinky (parodying Admiral Stockdale), who in his only television appearance states, "Zort, what am I doin' here?" Appearing to be charismatic and lovable, Brain rises in the polls, but never makes a public appearance. When he finally does the night before the election, the public is shocked to discover that Brain resembles a mouse because he is a mouse. Brain promptly loses the election.
  • In the episode "Tokyo Grows", Brain plans to use a "growing ray" to grow Pinky into super-size while dressed up as Gollyzilla, whilst Brain would stop him in exchange for world domination. However, the real Gollyzilla emerges from the ocean and starts to rampage, making Brain think that the lizard is Pinky. The episode ends with the ray making EVERYTHING on earth grow, including the Earth itself, to the point that Pinky, the Brain, and even Gollyzilla are mouse-sized by comparison again.
  • In another episode, Pinky and the Brain use a time machine to go back to prehistory and give mice rather than humans the evolutionary edge. They ultimately succeed, but once they return to the present, Brain is horrified to discover that the newly-dominant mouse race is composed of individuals similar to Pinky rather than himself. As it turned out, the prehistoric mice that Brain helped were a tribe of Pinky-like cavemice. When Brain prepares to return to the past to undo his work, Pinky asks why he doesn't want to rule this world, to which Brain replies "Who would want to?"
  • In a Christmas Special, Brain built a toy based on him called a 'Noodle-Noggin Doll', which had the power to hypnotise people. Taking a job as one of Santa's elves, and putting the doll on every Christmas list in the world, every household receives a doll. Brain plans to use his hypnosis machine to order the world to obey him. But upon reading Pinky's letter to Santa (which sings his praises despite the fact he can't succeed, and asks Santa to give all of Pinky's presents to Brain), Brain burst into tears and orders the world to have a Merry Christmas, after which he smashes the machine.
  • In a historical episode, Brain hears the offer that the man to travel around the world in 80 days will become the Prime Minister of Britain. Due to Brain's genius travel methods and Pinky's multi-lingual guidebook (one of the few episodes where Brain acknowledges Pinky's input on the plan), the two travel east around the world and reach New York, and only need to take an already scheduled ship to Britain to secure Brain's position as Prime Minister. But upon catching a cab to the pier, the driver only speaks 'New York Cabbie', the one language that Pinky's guidebook does not contain. Because the driver does not understand 'Take us to the pier', Brain is foiled again.
  • Brain makes a television programme similar to Welles' radio broadcast of 'War of the Worlds', hoping that, as happened in the radio broadcast, the country will panic and ensuing chaos would give Brain control over the world. The plan backfires simply because Brain's attempt to stage a televised alien invasion is incredibly cheesy, and the country is amused rather than scared.
  • Brain attempts to use a tobacco company to take over the world by selling cigarettes to children. However, Pinky becomes disgusted at the sight of children smoking and convinces Brain to double cross the tobacco company. The episode, Inherit the Wheeze, later won a PRISM Award for Best Children's Animated Television Episode, for its anti-smoking message.
  • One episode starts out as what could feasibly be considered a clip show hosted by Steven Spielberg himself, which covers such aspects of the series such as the intelligent writing (followed by a montage of "poit!"s from Pinky), the characters, and how much Steven, himself, loves his creation. Steven gets up and walks through a brick wall out into a grassy field, and is revealed to have actually been a robotic creation of Brain's called "Steven Spielborg" which he was to use to take over the world. Brain decides he'll try again with the "Ted Turnerator"
  • The episode Brainie The Poo parodies Winnie The Pooh. "Cameos" include Jagger instead of Tigger and Al Gore instead of Eeyore. Al Gore is "full of hot air", acting like a balloon. Other parodic elements include Christopher Walken in place of Christopher Robin and the "Brainie the Poo" book appears to have been authored by "A.A. Meeting."
  • Pinky actually succeeds in talking certain powerful world leaders (including Yasser Arafat) into handing over control of the world, but when Pinky hands over the "key to the world" to Brain, Brain botches it up.
  • In one episode, Brain uses a machine that can increase or decrease intelligence, and uses it so that Pinky can become smart enough to understand that he is the cause of Brain's failures, due to research Brain conducted. (Brain will later discover he miscalculated his research, and that he himself is the cause of his failures.) Pinky, depressed over the fact that Brain doesn't like him when he is smart, uses the machine to make himself stupid, so Brain will like him again. However, Brain, realizing he has botched his own plans, and believing both of them to be better off with Pinky as the genius and Brain as a moron, uses the machine on himself as well. In the end, both of them are idiots, and thus, are too dumb to operate the machine and restore either of them to their intelligent selves. This is reflected in the episode's final lines.

Pinky: What are we going to do tomorrow night, Brain?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
Pinky: What's that?
Brain: ...I have no idea.
Pinky: Poit.
Brain: Narf.

A few rare episodes involve no attempt on the Brain's part to take over the world. One centers on his rival Snowball's plan (see above) to take over the world using Microsponge. Another episode features Brain's single day where he tries to do anything BUT take over the world, but in the end, a group of a people vote that he should take over the world on the one day he is not wanting to. Template:Endspoiler

Are You Pondering...? (The "AYPWIP"s)

The following exchange occurs in all but one episode:

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain, but...

(The exception to the rule occurs in the episode "Pavlov's Mice", where Brain uses "thinking" in place of "pondering".)

The ellipsis is filled in each time with a unique non-sequitur such as, "we're already naked," "isn't a cucumber that small called a gherkin?" or "but if they called them sad meals kids wouldn't buy them." The result is always utterly nonsensical in the context given, indicating that Pinky was in no way pondering what Brain was pondering. Often this resulted in a quip from Brain, like 'the fact that your mind is not clouded by medication only fills me with pity.' In one episode, the viewer sees from Pinky's perspective and witnesses his train of thought as Brain speaks to him. The picture begins as Brain and his speech, but the dialogue fades out and the picture morphs into a whimsical fantasy. When Brain asks Pinky the usual question, Pinky responds with a query regarding the last thing he saw.

In one rare instance, Brain's ponderance ("We shall disguise ourselves as a cow!") was exactly what Pinky was pondering, except Pinky ironically thought the pondrance too stupid to voice.

In the episode "Brain Food", Pinky finally admits that he almost never is pondering what Brain is pondering. Ironically, it turns out that Brain is always thinking that same thing.

Another rare instance occurred in the episode "That Smarts", in which Brain uses a device to increase Pinky's intelligence. Brain asks Pinky, "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" and Pinky, now being a genius, responds, "Yes I am."

Incarnations

Pinky and the Brain originally appeared as a segment on Animaniacs, another show produced by Steven Spielberg and shown on first Fox and then the WB. On September 1, 1995, Pinky and the Brain were spun off into their own half-hour series, each consisting of one or more segments, including some of the segments from Animaniacs.

On September 1, 1998, the series was retooled to the much-reviled Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain, in which Pinky and the Brain were owned by Tiny Toons character Elmyra Duff, and is considered to be the reason for the show's cancellation. The show lasted for 13 episodes, 5 of which were shown whole and 6 of which were chopped into segments and aired as part of The Cat&Birdy Warneroonie PinkyBrainy Big Cartoonie Show. All 13 episodes were shown in their original format as part of CITV in the UK during 2001.

Pinky and the Brain were also regulars in the Animaniacs comic book published by DC Comics, and from July 1996 through November 1998, they starred in their own comic book, which ran for 27 issues before cancellation. Following the cancellation of the Pinky and the Brain comic, the mice later starred in stories that took up half of the later Animaniacs issues, which, starting at issue #43, was retitled Animaniacs featuring Pinky and the Brain.

Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon eventually broadcast Pinky & the Brain on their Nicktoons Network. The main difference was the opening, which was the same as the original, except that various items were replaced with Nickelodeon logos of the same shape.

Trivia

  • During the opening sequence, The Brain writes "THX=1138" on a chalkboard, referencing the George Lucas film THX 1138.
  • Also, during the opening sequence requires Brain to find the square root of BH 91210, which probably is a reference to Beverly Hills 90210
  • In an episode that parodies the tale of Samson and Delilah, there is a reference made to Samson's demonstration of power utilizing a donkey's jaw bone. The characters refer to the object in question as "the jaw bone of an ass" numerous times. This in itself is a joke as the word "ass", also a pejorative and a rude word referencing buttocks, is almost never used in children's programming in the United States. It is perhaps because of this that, although the word "ass" is being used in its proper context, the word is given particular emphasis when stated ("jaw bone of an ass!").
