Pinky was the true genius of the duo.
I’m glad someone else saw it. Brain was just insane.
The song says that one’s a genius and the other’s insane. It doesn’t say which is which.
It’s like there’s an echo in here.

Pinky literally accomplished the goal when he begged Brain for a shot to come up with a plan. That is, until Brain convinced him he should “help”. Pinky is the actual genius, Brain is just convincing in his bullshit.
Pinky always thinks of what brain is gonna do wrong and then enacts the Gilligan Protocol to protect them both.
Pinky was Brain’s minder
Agree. One was always happy, the other always unsatisfied. Obviously, always happy, might be seen as a genius move.
IIRC Pinky is actually helluh smart and pragmatic, just that Brain always get’s him down.
get’s
How does this even happen?
I pressed a button.
You’re on social media not a fellowship committee. Never hurts to relax
It was just a curious question. You’re being weirdly aggressive.

AI-powered autocorrect.
Spellcheck is awful now, I can only assume because of vibe-coding.
That’s…not how any of that works.
It’s sad that you assume so.
it’s not a particularly bad assumption
Back when Animaniacs and the Pinky and the Brain spin-off were first airing there was a fan theory going around that Pinky was actually the super genius mouse and Brain was the moron. I remember feeling that this theory had a lot of merit at the time, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen the show I don’t know if I can confidently say to what extent it holds up. If I ever get around to rewatching it, I’m definitely going to be watching through that lense though.
I rewatched it a couple years ago with that theory in mind, and it held up
Make sure to watch the remake as well!
It’s supported by the show itself. Brain’s plans always fail. The one time Pinky was given a chance, he would have succeeded had the Brain not intervened.
I think there was one episode where they actually do take over the world, but somehow Pinky ends up being the leader and things go very well. Might just be making shit up though.
The Brain is clearly MAGA.

The theme song never said which one is the genius.
It does. One or a genius the other is insane.
“The definition of insanity is, doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.” Thus by simple deduction, Brain is insane, hence Pinky is the genius.
🎶They’re Pinky and the Brain. Yes, Pinky and the Brain. One is a genius, the other’s insane. They’re laboratory mice. Their genes have been spliced. They’re dinky, they’re Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.🎶
what’re we gonna do tonight?
the same thing we do every night, Pinky
Errr, but where will we find two dozen pure bred poodles at this time of night?
That would be a response to “are you thinking what I’m thinking, Pinky?”
The twist is that Pinky is actually the genius, and the Brain is the one that’s insane.
I saw what you put in the credits, Pinky.
I don’t see how anything Brain could do at this point that would be worse than what’s already happening.
Bet its cheese based.
Pinky’s is probably better than Brain’s anyway.
Hey, on the episode “Pinky’s Turn”, Pinky actually did quite well. Not so sure about using Fruit Wiggles as currency, but that’s pretty tame compared to what the current clowns are doing.
Pinkie’s platform would be objectively better than Brain’s XD
Just that Pinky is the president, and just thinks he is the Brain.
Brainy Jack any day now please!
I thought it was about Charles Stross for a moment…
Can we agree to just randomly spin a big Wheel of Platforms? Contestants would receive lovely parting gifts.
