* CreatorBacklash: ''During the show's own theme song'', no less! It's understandable, however, as the staff and cast did ''not'' approve of this change in direction from the outset.

Old Shame is now an IUEO trope.


* OldShame: Nearly ''everyone'' who worked on this thing (Creator/MauriceLaMarche [The Brain], the writers) hated it with a passion. So much so that the theme song takes pot shots at the idea. However, in the Creator/CreeSummer episode of Creator/RobPaulsen's "Talking Toons" podcast, both Paulsen and Summer admitted they both actually liked the series.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: In "Gee, Your Hair Spells Terrific", while trying to clone a ''TyrannosaurusRex'', Brain mentions he and Pinky will convince the public that dinosaur meat TastesLikeChicken. 2007 saw the discovery of ''Tyrannosaurus'' proteins which are similar to... chickens.

* ChannelHop: More like program hop. It originally aired as a standalone program, but its low rating cause the show (and premieres) to be moved to a program called ''The Big Cartoonie Show'' where it aired with ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', the original ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSylvesterAndTweetyMysteries'' and for the first four episodes, ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' shorts for the rest of its run. When ''The Big Cartoonie Show'' went into its second season, the show was dropped entirely.

** Before the show was released on DVD, one of the worst offenders episode-wise was "Yule Be Sorry". It only aired one time during the Christmas season following the show's premiere and wasn't repackaged for ''The Big Cartoonie Show'', making it one of the rarest Kids' WB airings of all time.

* WriterRevolt: The writers were extremely dissatisfied with Creator/StevenSpielberg's idea of creating ''Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain''. Peter Hastings not only wrote the episode "You'll Never Eat Food Pellets in This Town Again", but later left Warner Bros. altogether to create Creator/{{One Saturday Morning|AndABCKids}}.

* CreatorKiller: The series, plus the rising popularity of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' on Kids WB, ended Creator/StevenSpielberg and Tom Ruegger's partnership which had began with ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''. Ruegger and many of his collaborators for these shows, such as Sherri Stoner and Paul Rugg, struggled to find work for a few years after.
