Pinky and the Brain

The interesting thing about this compilation of Pinky and the Brain “Are You Pondering What I’m Pondering?” moments, as others have pointed out, is that if you listen to Pinky long enough, he starts to sound really intelligent. Particularly since what Brain was actually pondering usually turns out to be some stupid plan that will horribly backfire in the end. As always, it’s useful to remember that when the theme song says “One is a genius, the other’s insane,” it doesn’t tell us which one is which.

This Pinky and the Brain cartoon (which starts at about 1:39 into this clip, after a couple of other short segments) first aired in 1994 and is partly a relic of the Ross Perot era, but it still works in any era, and especially, in any election year.
