Rob Paulsen is my favorite voice actor of all time

[@mauricesmithjr4050]

Rob paulsen is my hero and if had 5 boys in the future i will name the youngest ones after him

[@gossbert_25]

One's a genius, other's insane, 2 individuals create a nostalgic moments.

[@LordRumshi]

Some theorize pinky is the genius while brain is insane, feel free to look into that theory. When looking at it there is some good points there.

[@billybobjoe1335]

Having the actual voice actors is a really nice touch. Also, this was Ernest Borgnine’s first cartoon? Cool.

[@PIXPromosMore]

No, he did an appearance on The Simpsons (the one where Bart joins the Boy Scouts). That was a few years before Pinky debut

[@XJIcequeen]

I had no idea Ernest Borgnine played Brain’s father! I’m so used to him as Mermaid Man, I assumed that was his only VA role

My favorite was when Brain dared Pinky to take over the world and he almost did until Brain spoiled it.

And the irony is that Pinky has no problem taking over the world with ease, but Brain always winds being the one having the problem taking over the world.

[@wstine79]

This is awesome. Having Rob Paulsen and Maurice Lamar on the video for Pinky and the Brain is perfect. My favorite moment was when brain finally takes over the world only to find out that everyone on Earth has the mind and personality of Pinky.

[@roseprevost8081]

For once, I fully agree with number one. Also, Billy West also worked with Mo on Extreme Ghostbusters (Mo was Egon, BW was Slimer).

[@JB0071051982]

Really hope that Extreme Ghostbusters finally gets a proper DVD/ Blu Ray release soon. The Real Ghostbusters got one in 2008 and again in 2016, plus it got a Blu Ray release in SD in Germany. Yet Extreme Ghostbusters only has a DVD release overseas of the first 13 episodes out of the 40 aired. Dr. Egon Spengler is still one of the roles that I associate Maurice Lamarche with to this day.

[@TheCommenterDragon]
