I’ve never watched this cartoon, but I happened to catch a few minutes of one in which The Brain is giving a history lecture to Pinky–in RAP! Well, sorta like rap. He goes along mentioning a lot of world leaders thru history, lik Charlemagne, Tamerlane, and Bill Clinton.
Anyone else catch that (or have it on tape)? I thought it was kinda neat, so I taped it for weeks afterwards, but never seemed to snag that one. Maybe I could memorize it and someday give the same sort of rap to my nephews and nieces.
B- Pinky, AYPWIP?
P- I think so Brain, but the Rockettes, it’s mostly girls, isn’t it?
B- Pinky, AYPWIP?
P- I think so, but what if the chicken won’t wear the nylons?
B- Pinky, AYPWIP?
P- I think so Brain, but how will we get a pair of Abe Vigoda’s pants?
B- Pinky, AYPWIP?
P- Wuh, i think so Brain, but how will we get 3 pink flamingos into one pair of capri pants?
B- Pinky, AYPWIP?
P- I think so Brain, but why does a forklift have to be so big if all it does is lift forks?
B- Pinky, AYPWIP?
P- Whew, oh I’d say the odds of that are terribly slim Brain.
B- True
P- I mean really, when have I ever been pondering what you’ve been pondering?
B- To my knowledge never.
P- Exactly, so what are the chances that THIS time I am pondering what you are
pondering?
B- Next to Nil.
P- Well thats exactly what I am thinking too.
B- Therefore, you ARE PWIP.
P- Poit! I guess I am.
B- And do you know what else I am pondering my friend?
P- I think I do Brain.
B- We are going to make everyone on Earth smart, smart enough to accept me as their leader.
P- Ohhh, thats exactly what I was pondering!
B- Really
P- Yes! umm, no. I was thinking of serving corrugated cardboard for Thanksgiving dinner. Yummy! Not even close was I?
But as for your question, sorry, I don’t have a clue. But what better way to use my 1000th post than to do Pinky and the Brain quotes.
Did someone ponder Napster… Methinks yes. Me seconds the notion and sucks on the lotion. (did I ponder that out loud?)
While you are there, do a search on ‘animaniacs’ you will find many songs like that. My fav: food additives
Please do this as you will then be indebted to me for life for leading you to something so wondrous and amusing and you can send me money every month forever. Thank you drive thru.
…one is a genius, the other’s insane…
…to prove their mousy worth…
…they’ll overthrow the earth…
…they’re Pinky…
…they’re Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain!..
[bah dah dah DAH dah…BUH buh]
I can think of one episode where Brain uses time travel to realize his quest for world domination (but ultimately decides against it). Were there any others in which Brain is successful?
That show has grown on me. I don’t actively seek it out yet, but if it happens to come on, I’ll sit & watch it. My favorite so far is the Chia Earth episode. The “Pnky and the Brain Reunion” show was a good one too. I liked Riverstomp.
