Your never to old to watch pinky and the brain

Us 90s kids figured out that Pinky was the real genius over 30 year's ago.

It was the Jeopardy episode, Ralph Kramden was the answer.

Don't tell me it's been that long. I watched this as a kid and I'm not exactly 30 yet lol

Pinky was never stupid. He was insane.

[@whochecksthis]

What is the definition of insane? Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Pinky is the genius, brain is insane… It says it in the theme song. It’s pinky and the brain. Pinky and the brain… One is a genius One is insane… It’s pinky, pinky, and the brain…

[@paul16451]

The classic comedy duo where one person gives the impression of being the "smarter" one, when the reality is both are equally dumb, has been around for decades, and honestly, it works! Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Fry and Laurie, Cheech and Chong, Ren and Stimpy, Beavis and Butthead are just a few other examples of this comedy model.

[@Rayrard]

It was always hilarious how Brain's original plan would just never work and was impossible scientifically, yet they had one or two difficult secondary missions they had to complete BEFORE they could even attempt the original stupid plan which they rarely even got to. Pinky embraced his idiocy but competently assisted Brain (Brain wouldn't get anywhere without him and Pinky probably knows better and so humors him). Brain was the idiot who convinced himself he was a genius (Dunning Kruger effect) and despite using sciencey words never really figured out his plans always sucked.

[@orckingi1208]

It's been quite a while since I've been able to watch full episodes of Pinky and the Brain. The two of them are definitely the funniest characters in the Animaniacs universe. I mean now that I think about it, in the intro of every episode of Pinky and the Brain, it says "One is a genius, the other's insane". Which one is the genius? According to the show Brain is supposed to be the genius. Or is he? Maybe Pinky is the smarter of the two and Brain is the insane one who thinks he's smarter.

[@UnrulySpirituality777]

Brain is the genius and pinky is insane. It's not that complicated. Brain's purpose is to take over the world thats his macro goal while he carries out different plans that keep failing but he refuses to stop trying thats his micro method. Pinky's purpose is to enjoy life as it comes to him by going with the flow that's considered insane in society where youre expected to follow the protocol. Brain's WHY is the same but his HOW changes every single time. He has never once tried the same plan twice. Thus he is a genius and pinky is insane. This is coming from someone who is both a genius and insane. But take what I said under your own consideration and come to your own conclusions.

[@AlvarGeesusTheCreator]

Peak Warner Bros animation era

[@9mully.]

brain was the genius but it was pinky who was the force behind every major operation, so who really took over the world

[@0megacron]

You only have to watch one episode (The Pinky POV) to realize that Pinky is the genius. Long story short, by the time Brain asks "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?", Pinky has already pondered the initial brilliant idea and has had a dozen other ideas since then. The only reason he comes across as dumb is because no one else's brain (including the audience) can keep up with him. Thankfully, though, Pinky has no interest in taking over the world.

[@irvingthemagnificent]

"One of them's a genius, the other's insane." I always thought it was clear. Brain was a paranoid megalomaniac with delusions of being a genius. Pinky was the genius who could screw up any plan and make it look like an accident.

[@giantsr1eva]

@irvingthemagnificent They failed because Pinky is not a genius.

Pinky is the genius. He acts like an idiot knowing damn well what he is doing. Also its for Brain's protection. He cares about him and knowing that no one would stand for a mouse to rule the world let alone left outside its cage. So Pinky does everything that he can to help humanity by triggering Brain constantly.
