The choice of drug can imply certain qualities. Works on speed are extremely energetic and fast-paced; works on crack are similar but with [[QuirkyWork an element of surrealism or wackiness implied]]. Acid and weed are more [[MindScrew psychedelic and confusing]], whereas works on steroids are usually bigger and more extreme. One would imagine a work "on [=NyQuil=]" would be dreamy and lethargic, while describing Show B as Show A "on its meds" implies that Show A is in some way weird, while Show B, while cut from the same cloth, is less-weird. Finally, a work on "angel dust" (PCP) would most likely be [[DarkerAndEdgier extremely violent, angry, or megalomaniacal]] in tone.

The TropeNamer comes from an [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnDrugs American]] [[DrugsAreBad anti-drug]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_is_your_brain_on_drugs commercial]] from the Advertising/PartnershipToEndAddiction, which showed an egg with the voice-over "This is your brain," then the egg being cracked on the side of a frying pan and the contents poured in, with the voice-over "This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?" This got so parodied that for a while people ordering eggs sunny side up would say, "I'll take a brain on drugs with toast," for example. (It might also explain why eggs over easy were so common for a while.) For an extra bit of trivia, the girl in the second version of the commercial? That's [[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Tifa years later]], [[Creator/RachaelLeighCook among other people.]]
