* FriendlyTickleTorture: In "Big In Japan", Pinky gets a "Tickle-Me Herman" doll, a parody of the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll. Later in the episode, he uses this tactic to defeat a sumo wrestler.

** In "A Little Off the Top" (a spoof of [[TheBible the story of Samson]]), Pinky dresses up as Delilah to, er, [[DistractedByTheSexy distract]] Samson.

** The episode "TV or Not TV" has two guys pitching a sitcom, about a bikini designer who stumbles around pretending to be blind. [[CovertPervert Think]] [[CrashIntoHello about it]] [[FunbagAirbag for a sec.]]

** The episode "Of Mouse and Man" got away with using workplace sexual harassment as a plot point. Played For Laughs, of course.

* KavorkaMan: For such an ugly little jerk, Brain doesn't have much trouble [[ChickMagnet getting girls]] when he's disguised as a human. (But it's probably more due to RuleOfFunny than anything else.)

* AttractiveBentGender: Hilariously, Pinky seems to be considered this in-universe ([[Rule34 we hope]]). For example:

* AttractiveBentGender: Hilariously, Pinky seems to be considered this in-universe [[hottip: [[Rule34 We hope.]]. For example:

* AttractiveBentGender: Pinky seems to be considered this in-universe [[hottip: [[Rule34 We hope.]]. For example:

* AttractiveBentGender: Pinky invokes this in-universe ([[FurryFandom we hope]]) at least twice:
** In "A Little Off the Top" (a spoof of [[TheBible Samson and Delilah]]), Pinky dresses up as Delilah to, er, [[DistractedByTheSexy distract]] Samson.
** In "My Feldmans, My Friends", Pinky and the Brain [[UndercoverAsLovers have to pose as a married couple]] to fool their neighbor Mr. Sultana. Cue Sultana falling in love with "[[DisguisedInDrag Mrs. Feldman]]"

* AttractiveBentGender: Hilariously, some male character will almost always see Pinky this way when he's DisguisedInDrag.

* HoYay: True, each of them had female love interests, but a DVD featurette even acknowledged that the show was about the "love" between the duo (they were probably talking about platonic love, but it's easy to misinterpret that). And in the episode "Brinky" the two inadvertently mixed their DNA together in a cloning machine, essentially having a child with each other.
** That whole episode played played up the couple thing [[UpToEleven past 11]]. They both fell into the family roles immediately and Romy addressed them as "my two dads". They went through all the cliche marriage problems of an after school special. At the end of it, Pinky asked Brain if they could have another. Why, even the episode title is a ship name: [[PortmanteauCoupleName Brinky!]]
** 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.]] 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.
** 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]], [[LivingEmotionalCrutch 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.

* 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 "her" mother.

** Pinky also often [[UndercoverAsLovers diguises as Brain's wife]], [[LivingEmotionalCrutch 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.

** The episode "[[WholePlotReferenceThe Third]] [[TheThirdMan Mouse]]".

* NoirEpisode: "Brain Noir" -- The year is 1946. Everyone in Los Angeles is wearing hats. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous They will find them shrunken by the Fedor-A-Matic and CHAOS WIL FOLLOW.]]

* 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.]]
