Brain is self centered and scheming Pinky is good natured but feebleminded.

PremiseeditMany of the Pinky and the Brain episodes occur in the 1. Acme Labs, located in some large American city underneath a suspension bridge. Several episodes take place in historical times, with Pinky and the Brain in the laboratory of some scientifically minded person, including Merlin,2H. G. Wells,3 and Ivan Pavlov. There is very little continuity between episodes outside of the common fixtures of the mice, though some plans for world domination from early episodes are subsequently referred to in later seasons for example, Brains human suit used in Win Big5 reappears when Brain faces his rival Snowball in Snowball. The bulk of every episode involves one of Brains plans for world domination with Pinkys assistance and the ultimate failure of that plan, with some exceptions. One centers on Snowballs plan to take over the world using Microsponge a parody of Microsoft. Another episode features Brains single day where he tries to do anything but take over the world in the end, a group of people vote that he should take over the world on the one day he does not want to. Both Pinky and the Brain, white mice kept as part of Acme Labs experimentation, have undergone significant genetic alteration per the shows title lyrics, their genes have been spliced which gives the two mice amplified intelligence over that of a typical mouse, the ability to talk to humans, and anthropomorphism. Project B. R. A. I. N. suggests that the gene splicing occurred on September 9, 1. Pinky and the Brain. The episode Brainwashed states that the gene splicing was done by Dr. Mordough, along with Snowball the hamster and Precious the cat, using the Acme Gene Splicer, Bagel Warmer, and Hot Dog Steamer. Although Pinky and the Brain plan to conquer the world, they do not show much animosity. In a Christmas special Pinky even wrote to Santa that Brain had the worlds best interests at heart.

In What Ever Happened to Baby Brain, Brain actually crosses paths with Welles voiced by Jim Cummings, who is working as a busboy in a Hollywood restaurant they find themselves inadvertently yelling in unison, Things will be different when I take over the world In Project B. R. A. I. N. Brains name is the backronym for the eponymous project Biological Recombinant Algorithmic Intelligence Nexus. His tail is bent like a staircasehe often uses it to pick the lock of the cageand his head is large and wide, housing his abnormally large brain. He is highly intelligent and develops complex plans for global domination using politics, cultural references, and his own inventions toward his goal. He seems coldly unemotional, speaking in a snarky deadpan. Nevertheless, Brain has a subtle sense of humor and has even fallen in love with Trudie in the episode The Third Mouse and with Billie in The World Can Wait. Due to his stature and megalomania, Brain has been compared to Don Quixote1. Napoleon Bonaparte. Brain sees his inevitable rise to power as good for the world, and not mere megalomania. In Wakkos Wish, he said to Pinky Were on our way to fame, fortune and a world thats a better place for all. Many of the Brains plots had the endgame of winning over the peoples hearts and having them make him their ruler. However, his motives are not pure. In one episode, Brain finds himself hypnotized by a psychologist he had planned to manipulate for one of his schemes, who turns out to be none other than Sigmund Freud. There Brain reveals that he originally lived with his parents in a tin can at the base of a tree in a large field. When he was young, ACME researchers captured Brain and took him from his home, and the last he saw of it was a picture of the world on the side of the can. Dr. Freud speculates that Brains hunger to take over the world is misplaced, and that all he really wants is to go back home to his parents. According to the creators, Brain wants to take over the world not for the sake of being a dictator, like his rival Snowball, but because he believes that he could do a much better job of it than the people currently in charge. Brain has even helped save the world by doing everything in his power to prevent Snowballs evil schemes, knowing that a world under Snowballs rule would be the worst case scenario. Pinky voiced by Rob Paulsen is another genetically modified mouse who shares the same cage as Brain at Acme Labs. Although intelligent in his own right, Pinky is an extremely unstable and hyperactive mouse. He has several verbal tics, such as narf, zort, poit, and troz the last of which he started saying after noticing it was zort in the mirror. Pinkys appearance is the complete opposite of Brainswhile Brain is short, has a crooked tail and pink eyes, and speaks in a deeper, more eloquent manner, Pinky has a straight tail, blue eyes, and a severe overbite, is taller than the Brain, and speaks in a higher pitched voice with a Cockney accent. Pinkys name was inadvertently given to him by Brain himself when insulting the two scientists responsible for their gene splicing while talking to himself, Brain claimed the scientists had less knowledge in both their heads than I do in my. Pinky then responded with Yes, believing Brain was referring to him. Pinky is more open minded, kinder, and happier than the Brain. Troubles never ruin his day, arguably because he is too scatter brained to notice them. He steadfastly helps Brain toward world domination, even though Brain usually berates, belittles, and abuses him. Pinky actually seems to enjoy this, laughing after he is hit. He is obsessed with trivia, spending a lot of time watching television in the lab and following popular culture fads. Sometimes Pinky even finds non rational solutions to problems. An entire episode entitled The Pinky P. O. V. even shows a typical night of attempted world domination from his point of view, showing his thought process and how he comes to the strange, seemingly nonsensical responses to the Brains famous question, Are you pondering what Im pondering Pinky often points out flaws in the Brains plans, which the Brain consistently ignores. The issues Pinky brings up can ironically lead to the downfall of the given nights plot. He is also arguably Brains moral compass and only real friend. When Pinky sold his soul to get Brain the world in A Pinky and the Brain Halloween, Brain saved him because he missed him and the world was not worth ruling without him. Pinky also has shown signs of intelligence despite his supposed childish stupidity.
