I absolutely LOVE PATB and Annimaniacs. These shows are tamer versions of The Simpsons, The Critic or Family Guy, perfect showcases for how absolutely brilliantly funny annimated shows can be, fit desendents of Rocky and Bullwinkle. The song “Countries of the World” names all of them in 1:47. I can’t even read them off a map that quickly. Smart, funny AND educational, these shows are a treat for kids and adults alike. Are you pondering what I’m pondering? I think so, but balanceing a family and a career? It’s all too much for me.

But do I really need two tongues??[sub]Oh, what I could do with that…[/sub]

You forgot Uranus.

Gooood night, everybody!

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

I love the animaniacs!  
I bought a cd of them doing the states, the presidents, and a few other things that are really education.  
I bought it mostly for me since I adore them, and then for my heathens.  
I told my kids if they can sing the words to crap like 'nsync, and other songs on the radio word for word, they can learn the important stuff word for word also.

I forgot that I even have their video game. I told the kids that I really bought it for them.  
But between that game and ahhhhh! real monsters I don’t think the heathens have played them as much as I have. 😃

Brain: “Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”  
Pinky: “I think so, Brain… but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?”

“Charlie Sheen, Bambareen  
Shrink to the size of a lima bean.”  
-Wizard Brain… his spell that allows him to shrink things.

I loved all the gags that mocked Jerry Lewis. How do you spell his special word? “Froinleyvin” or something?

And let’s not forget the greatest PATB “Are you pondering etc.?” trade-off of all time…

Brain: “Are you pondering what I’m pondering?”  
Pinky (pauses): “Yes, I am!”

Gotta love that Pinky accent…

Don’t make me separate you, Pinky…

Anyone remember the episode that was all from Pinky’s POV? We actually got to see what it was the Pinky was pondering…

BTW - it’s “Charlie Sheen, Ben Vereen, shrink to the size of a lima bean…” Ben Vereen being a less well-know celebrity. Still a classic.

I have that in .wav format as my Start Windows sound 🙂

I also have another one for my exit windows:

[Brain]Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering? [/Brain]

[Pinky]I think so, Brain, but culottes have a tendancy to ride up so. [/Pinky]

Ooh, thank you… I thought it was just some nonsensical word, like “abracadabra”. It’s still funny.

(I thought I posted this earlier… I guess the Board software must have had a brainfart…)

One day the plan involved convincing various sea animals to help take over the world: otters, sea lions, dolphins, etc… Brain got dressed up like Patton and gave them all a pep talk which conlcluded with the classic line:

“You are the few… the proud… the marine mammals!”
