However, this did tend to remove it uncomfortably far, at times, from the notion of world domination - one can imagine the writers scratching their heads and trying to figure out how writing a Broadway musical could possibly help The Brain take over the planet (ultimately, most of the later plots are money-making schemes meant to fund the next scheme). It tried to be as keenly satirical as was possible within the format of an afternoon children's cartoon. Originally a recurring skit on Animaniacs, the characters proved hugely popular and were soon given their own show. By contrast, many episodes had his schemes barely even getting off the ground, and the story centers around his attempts just to get the first step going.
On one or two occasions he actually succeeded in taking over the world, but with some kind of unacceptable side-effect that sent him back to the drawing board. Each episode saw The Brain devise an elaborate, improbable scheme for world domination, only to be foiled in the end due to some unforeseeable twist of fate, Pinky's bumbling or occasionally his own blundering arrogance.
Pinky and the Brain was an animated series about a super-intelligent, genetically-altered lab mouse who enlists his halfwit roommate (read: the other mouse in his cage) into his endless quest to Take Over the World. Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you wanna do tonight?īrain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!
