Pinky and the Brain

"Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?" "The same thing we do every night Pinky, try to take over the world!"

Two lab rats trying to take over the world, how could that not be a good show? I think the catchy theme song is what made this show so awesome. I'm going to attach a full episode at the end that includes the intro and I guarantee if you listen to it you will have the song stuck in your head for the rest of the day. In the song it says that one is a genius and the other is insane, Brain is the genius and Pinky is insane but I would say Brain is a little insane as well. It was interesting to see all the creative ways to plan taking over the world. Pinky being so clueless makes him lovable. Pinky and the Brain didn't always get along, mostly because Brain was too focused on his diabolical plan while Pinky was enjoying the simple things in life, but like any other classic partnership they still love each other. They taught us a lesson that no matter how small you are you can make a big impact, or at least try (pay no attention to the fact that they tried by scheming). They never gave up though. Brain has a very sophisticated vocabulary, some words I'm still not quite sure what they mean. Pinky and the Brain first aired in 1995 so I would have been 4 years old, I'm not sure when I first started to watch it but I wonder if I had any idea what brain was talking about half the time. I've noticed that the graphics of old cartoons have changed over time, I'm sure the change is due to technology but I prefer the way it was. It use to look more like an animated story book. It made you feel as if you were apart of the story. Here are two episodes of Pinky and the Brain. More episodes can be found on Youtube.

NARF!
