Episode: Season 1, Episode 2\\
Title:"Of Mouse and Man"\\
Directed by: Audu Paden\\
Written by: Peter Hastings\\
Air Date: September 10, 1995\\
Previous: Das Mouse\\
Next: Tokyo Grows / That Smarts / Brainstem\\
Guest Starring: Creator/JamesBelushi, Creator/JeffreyTambor]
"Of Mouse and Man" is the second episode of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.
Brain's latest idea for world domination is to tie up the entire Earth's phone network in an endless voicemail loop, leaving everyone stuck on the phone and distracted while he takes over. To do this, however, he needs the oddly specific sum of $1,614,000. How to get all that money? A commercial from a sleazy lawyer convinces Brain that the way to go is to get a job, fake a workplace injury, and then sue his employer for workman's comp.
Wearing his human suit, Brain gets a job at an ethically dubious "re-re-insurance" company. Complications in his plan include his boss's delayed suspicions about his resume and a possible sexual harassment suit, but Brain finally fakes his injury, and a contentious trial begins.
