Added DiffLines:

"Plan Brain from Outer Space" is the third episode of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.

Brain goes to Area 5.1 (a parody of Area 51), and makes contact with the alien Zalgar in hopes that he will help him take over the world, but Zalgar has other plans in mind: specifically, devouring Brain's brain.

!!Tropes:
* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Brain sets a Bigfoot on Zalgar.
* BrainFood: Zalgar eats brains.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Zalgar originally appeared in the Animaniacs episode "Potty Emergency" in a sci-fi movie the Warners were watching.
* LittleGreenMen: Synapse and Neuron, Zalgar's minions.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Area 51 guard is a caricature of Jim Nabors - better known as ''Series/GomerPyleUSMC''.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: The episode actually began as a spin-off of the Animaniacs episode "Potty Emergency". Zalgar was to be the main character.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Zalgar's eyes turn red when he finally loses his temper.
* RushmoreRefacement: Zalgar accidentally blows up Mount Rushmore, and creates a giant sculpture of [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} the Warner Siblings]].
