"Snowball" is the ninth episode of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.
Before he met Pinky, Brain knew another genetically enhanced rodent, a hamster named Snowball. But Snowball eventually turned evil and was kicked out of the lab, vowing revenge. Years later, he has resurfaced, and stolen Brain's chain letter scheme, to boot! Now Brain finds himself in the unusual position of having to ''save'' the world, as opposed to taking it over.
!!Tropes:
* BlandNameProduct: During Brain's flashback to his childhood, one of the bottles in his cage is labelled "Snipple", a reference to Snapple.
* BrickJoke: At the beginning of the episode, Brain requests a cheque for enough money to afford all the stamps he needs for his plan. At the end, the cheque arrives, and they use it to fix up the lab.
* BubblePipe: Snowball uses one after becoming world dictator.
* CallBack: While cheering on Brain during his fight with Snowball, Pinky calls "[[Recap/AnimaniacsEpisode2 Bang! Zoom! Right in the kisser!]]".

* DrivenToSuicide: A despondent Brain tries to get himself eaten by a cat.
* FoodAsBribe: Snowball offers Pinky fudge in an attempt to get the mouse to work for him.
* HangingByTheFingers: Brain ends up dangling from a cliff during his fight with Snowball.
* HeroicBSOD: Brain enters one when he realises that Snowball has succeeded in taking over the world.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Bill Grates, the world's richest nerd, is a parody of Bill Gates. Likewise, his company Microsponge is a parody of Microsoft.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Pinky pulling Brain to safety while the latter is wearing his heavy mech suit.
* PercussiveMaintenance: When the gene splicer malfunctions, one of the scientists tries to fix it by hitting it. It explodes.
* SayMyName: Both Brain and Snowball do this - Brain when he sees Snowball's name on the chain letter he has received, and Snowball when he realises that Brain has foiled his scheme.
* ShoutOut:
** In Brain's flashback, he claims that the scientists who made him and Snowball intelligent said that "[[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan They could make us faster, stronger, smarter]]."
** When Brain says that the lab has been sold to the world's richest nerd, Pinky thinks he's talking about WesternAnimation/{{Gumby}}.
** At one point, Pinky is lying in bed holding a snow globe. [[Film/CitizenKane He whispers "Brain", and lets the snow globe slip from his fingers and fall to the floor, where it shatters]].
* TemptingFate: At his lowest point, Brain sadly asks himself if things could be any bleaker. Cue a nearby tree getting struck by lightning and falling on him.
