Usually, the Brainy Pig will be portrayed sympathetically, though they may combine the trope with SinisterSwine and be a [[EvilGenius deceptive schemer]] or an InsufferableGenius. The Brainy Pig is less likely than less intelligent pigs to be a MessyPig, PervertedPig, or GluttonousPig, though it can happen. See FullBoarAction for another trope about pigs and CunningLikeAFox, CleverCrows, IntelligentPrimate, ElephantsNeverForget and TheOwlKnowingOne for other animals stereotyped as intelligent.

* In the Italian comic ''Lupo Alberto'', Alcide the pig is the [=McKenzie=] Farm's resident philosopher and most intelligent resident, and is often the OnlySaneMan due having more common sense than most other characters, hence Moses, the dog and farm's leader, leaving him in charge whenever he has to leave for some commission. Sadly, [[NotSoAboveItAll this says more about the other residents than about him]], often getting involved in the others' antics.

* ''Anime/TheSevenDeadlySins'' gives us the sorceress Merlin, known as the Boar Sin of Gluttony. However, her appetite is for ''knowledge'' rather than food, and she is easily the most knowledgeable of the sins. She went so far as to use magic to halt her own aging so that she would have all the time in the world to conduct experiments and continue amassing knowledge.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'': Cobb is a pig villager with an affinity for science and learning. He's the only villager with the Jock personality [[AcademicAthlete to have the "education" hobby]], his house is full of books and research papers, his home request in ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossingHappyHomeDesigner'' is [[MadScientistLaboratory "a secret research lab]]", he wears OpaqueNerdGlasses, and his life goal is to become a teacher. In fact, his Japanese name is Hakase (the Japanese equivalent of "Ph.D."), furthering his professorial image.

''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho090YearOfThePig Year Of The Pig]]'': Toby The Sapient Pig may be a delusional, gluttonous recluse, but he's a delusional, gluttonous recluse who can apparently ''predict the future.'' (And he will correct your grammar while he's at it.)

* Zigzagged in the sequel to ''Film/NannyMcPhee''. The piglets do synchronized swimming and climb trees, but that was because [=McPhee=] put a spell on them. The guy who buys them claims that he knew a pig who could play Scrabble and another who could [[TalkingAnimal count to ten in French]]. He turns out to be joking for the last one, but he admits that pigs are clever animals.
