Pinky and the Brain is cartoon about genetically altered lab mice. Brain the genius is bent on taking over the world and his sidekick Pinky is the skinny one who is insane, and just follows Brain around and gets in his way. What makes this cartoon funny is the way they try to take over the world and how there plans go wrong. Pinky is by far the funnier of the two. His comments, actions and thoughts are completely out of the ordinary and hilarious.
