History WesternAnimation / PinkyandtheBrain

-->'''Brain:''' Pinky, that's absurd! You are nothing of the kind. Its chromosomal makeup just happens to include both of our genetic building blo... AAAH! ...Oh my Lord, you ''are'' its mommy.

* DistaffCounterpart: Billie looks and acts like a female version of Pinky. And Brain has a crush on her. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Make of that]] [[HoYay what you will.]]

-->'''Woman''': "You know what they say: Big ears...[[InnocentInnuendo big earmuffs.]]"

** There's also the episode "Pinky Suavo", where Pinky, through an accident with Brain's "Personalitron", becomes a charismatic, suave, romantic figure loved by everyone. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim And we mean everyone.]] Seriously, watch Brain's initial reaction to the new Pinky and just try to deny that he's suddenly developed at least a mancrush on him.
** Also, for a brief moment in "You'll Never Eat Food Pellets In This Town Again", they sleep in the same bed.
** Pinky also often dresses up as Brain's wife, neither can live without the other (as seen in "This Old Mouse" and "A Pinky and the Brain Halloween"), Pinky's given up his soul for Brain and Brain's given up the world for Pinky, and in "Just Say Narf" there's a scene where he actually tries to seduce Brain on a bench. Honestly, the sheer ammount of Ho Yay moments with these two is staggering.

* DistaffCounterpart: Billie is Pinky's.

* NoirEpisode: "Brain Noir" -- The year is 1946. Everyone in Los Angeles is wearing hats. They will find them shrunken by the Fedor-A-Matic and ''chaos will follow''.

--> '''Brain:''' I see someone had too much Shasta on the plane.

* VerbalTic: Narf! Zort! Egad! ''Yes!''

Pinky does this frequently, the Brain less so. An example of this is "Whatever Happened to Baby Brain?", where the Brain disguises himself as a cute little girl, and Pinky acts as his/her mother.

* DisguisedInDrag: Pinky does this frequently, the Brain less so. An example of this is "Whatever Happened to Baby Brain?", where the Brain disguises himself as a cute little girl, and Pinky acts as his/her mother.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: Pinky does this frequently, the Brain less so. An example of this is "Whatever Happened to Baby Brain?", where the Brain disguises himself as a cute little girl, and Pinky acts as his/her mother.

* TarAndFeathers:
** Happens in to Pinky and the Brain in "Robin Brain".

** Also parodied in-universe in the episode "Brain's Song", where Brain tries to make the most depressing movie in the world - the idea being everyone will be too bummed out afterwards to resist his takeover.

** Happens in to Piky and the Brain in "Robin Brain".

* ParentalBonus: Tons of it, from political humor to innuendo to satires of celebrities. Brain's voice is deliberately styled after OrsonWelles.

* SimplemindedWisdom: Subverted.

-->'''Woman''': [sultry voice] "You know what they say: Big ears...[[InnocentInnuendo big earmuffs.]]"

* TooFunnyToBeEvil: To a large extent Brain himself, even though he's TheUnfunny. Though to quote him, "I am not devoid of humor."

** Bill Grates, the World's Richest Nerd

* FluffyTheTerrible: Snowball

* AntiVillain: Brain, if you interpret him as a VillainProtagonist, though he really blurs the line between this and AntiHero. After all, the rest of the world is portrayed as so messed up and idiotic, him taking it over might actually lead to some form of utopia.

* BlackAndGrayMorality: Snowball vs Brain

** And "This Old Mouse" has Brain [[DrowningMySorrows drowning his sorrows]] in cage water bottle.

-->'''Pinky''':[laughs] "Look at your floppy left ear! [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything You can't raise it up anymore!]]"
** Here's a gem from "Of Mouse and Man":
-->'''You know what they say: "Big ears...[[InnocentInnuendo big earmuffs."]]'''

** In "This Old Mouse" when Brain and Pinky see [[FutureMeScaresMe their senile future selves:]]
-->'''Pinky''': "Look at your floppy left ear! [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything You can't raise it up anymore!]]"
