1 | Despite being the most reviled of Steven Spielberg's cartoons, ''WesternAnimation/PinkyElmyraAndTheBrain'' still had some downright hilarious moments. |
2 | ---- |
3 | * The opening theme's most notorious line "[[ExecutiveMeddling It's what the network wants/Why bother to complain]]?" has Pinky and the Brain [[BitingTheHandHumor getting kicked out of the Warner Bros. corporate headquarters]]. Elmyra looks at them with a goofy smile and shrugs. |
4 | ** The previous scene has Brain giving a ''[[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/79/Peatb.jpg priceless]]'' AsideGlance while watching Elmyra's antics. |
5 | * "Patty-Ann": After Elmyra flushes Pinky and the Brain down the toilet. |
6 | -->'''Pinky:''' I think Elmyra has seen ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' a few hundred times too many. Troz!\ |
7 | '''Brain:''' Let's hope she never rents ''Film/AClockworkOrange''. [[note]] Brain was actually tortured in his childhood ''A Clockwork Orange'' style in the ''Pinky and the Brain'' episode "Leggo my Ego".[[/note]] |
8 | * "Gee Your Hair Spells Terrific": |
9 | ** Brain's plan to help Elmyra cheat in the spelling bee finals: |
10 | -->'''Elmyra:''' Um, ''(gulps)'' "Absurd".\ |
11 | '''Brain:''' A bee is you, Ardie?\ |
12 | '''Elmyra:''' A-B-S-U-R-D. "Absurd".\ |
13 | '''Host:''' That is correct!\ |
14 | '''Judge:''' ''(under his breath)'' I think there might be a little cheating going on in the audience.\ |
15 | '''Baloney:''' Cheating? Well, that makes me gosh-oh-jolly, doodle-golly [[BerserkButton MAD]]!\ |
16 | '''Elmyra:''' "Poppycock".\ |
17 | '''Brain:''' Pee? Oh, pee pee. Why? See? Oh, see. 'Kay.\ |
18 | '''Elmyra:''' P-O-P-P-Y-C-O-C-K.\ |
19 | '''Pinky:''' Oh, I get it. ''(out loud)'' Oh, I see pee pee, too! Oh, why? Oh, why?\ |
20 | '''Brain:''' Pinky, quiet!\ |
21 | '''Elmyra:''' O-I-C-P-P-2-O-Y-O-Y.\ |
22 | '''Host:''' I'm sorry, that's too many letters... and numbers. We'll have to call that a wrong answer.\ |
23 | '''Baloney:''' ''(sneaks up behind Brain)'' Cheaters!\ |
24 | '''Brain:''' ''(falls)'' Oh! Oh! Oh!\ |
25 | '''Elmyra:''' O-O-O.\ |
26 | '''Host:''' I said that's wrong, you'll have to stop. |
27 | ** Then after Pinky and the Brain are outed: |
28 | --->'''Brain:''' We learned a valuable lesson, Pinky.\ |
29 | '''Pinky:''' Yes, 2 is not a letter. |
30 | ** "There's only one problem: you can't spell the letter 'A'." "[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Well, maybe they won't give her that word, Brain.]]" |
31 | * The episode "At the Hop" has Ben Stein playing Rockin' Johnny Hot, the DJ at Elmyra's school dance. When the kids chase him out, Johnny screams in terror... and [[SuddenlyShouting Stein actually raises his voice from his trademark deadpan]]. |
32 | * The episode where Brain does his own version of ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood'' has a scene where his name is the secret word that causes bells to ring and red lights to flash. But when Pinky shows up: |
33 | -->'''Pinky:''' Hello, Mr. Loyal Subject! Hello, Brain! ''[lights flash]''\ |
34 | '''Brain:''' You said the secret word!\ |
35 | '''Pinky:''' I did? Um... what's the secret word, Brain? ''[lights flash]''\ |
36 | '''Brain:''' You said the secret word again!\ |
37 | '''Pinky:''' Really? I've never won anything before. What do I win, Brain? ''[lights flash]'' Oh, this is so exciting!\ |
38 | '''Brain:''' OK, that's enough.\ |
39 | '''Pinky:''' Enough of what, Brain? ''[lights flash]''\ |
40 | '''Brain:''' Stop saying the secret word!\ |
41 | '''Pinky:''' What's the secret word, Brain? ''[lights flash]''\ |
42 | '''Brain:''' Errrrgh! Stop saying "Brain"! ''[lights flash]''\ |
43 | '''Pinky:''' Ah! You won, Brain! ''[lights flash]''\ |
44 | '''Brain:''' Stop it, stop it, stop it!\ |
45 | '''Pinky:''' Stop what, Brain? ''[lights flash]''\ |
46 | '''Brain:''' Okay, that's it! The secret word is ''not'' "Brain"!\ |
47 | '''Pinky:''' Wuhahaha! Shut yer face! Shut yer face, Brain! ''[continues to repeat "Brain", with the lights flashing each time, until Brain hits him on the head with his sceptre]''\ |
48 | '''Brain:''' The new ''new'' secret word is "pain". |
49 | * "A Walk in the Park": |
50 | ** Brain commenting on the tapes that Elmyra owns ("It's a Sugary-Wugary Day" by Laffi and "Life's a Rosy-Posy Bed of Honey" by Marie Flewis and Pork Chop), followed by this exchange: |
51 | --->'''Brain:''' The titles alone are enough to make my teeth rot.\ |
52 | '''Pinky:''' I'll help you floss.\ |
53 | '''Brain:''' I'll help ''you'' hurt! ''(hits Pinky)'' |
54 | ** Also ''this'' exchange when Elmyra gets separated: |
55 | --->'''Brain:''' Hey, where's Elmyra?\ |
56 | '''Pinky:''' Oh no, she's lost! We might never see her again!\ |
57 | '''Brain:''' Stop trying to cheer me up, Pinky. She's got the tape. |
58 | * Pretty much the entirety of "How I Spent My Weekend", as it tells the story from [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Elmyra]]'s point of view. Highlights include Brain trying to conquer France by having a robot turn all the cheese into stupid American tourists and the revelation that [[spoiler:the giant robot Roberto and the French lady robot he fell in love with actually existed!]] |
