History Recap / PinkyAndTheBrainS3E2

* HereWeGoAgain: At the end, Larry leaves to pursue a musical career with Music/PaulSimon. Right after Brain tells Pinky that they're going try to take over the world without Larry, a scientist opens the cage and introduces a new mouse, Zeppo.

'''Del Monte:''' Poppycock-a-doodle-doo! Del Monte hates the mousealopes.\\

* LiteralMinded: After the Brain has ordered everyone out of Pittsburgh...

* ForcedFromTheirHome: Del Monte announces to the public that he has just authored the Mousealope Protection Act and that Pittsburgh is now officially Mousealope Country. Unfortunately, he hasn't ReadTheFinePrint. Brain then announces that he and Pinky now legally own all of Pittsburgh.

'''Pinky:''' Y'all come back now, ya hear? Troz!

In "Pinky and the Brain...and Larry", the duo gains a [[SixthRanger third ranger]] and, suddenly we are watching a parody of ''Film/TheThreeStooges''.

* CryingIndian: In Pinky and Brain's propaganda ad telling everyone to get out of Pittsburgh, Brain is looking over the city of Pittsburgh and shedding a tear.

In "Where the Deer and the Mousealopes Play", Brain, to gain control of UsefulNotes/{{Pittsburgh}}'s steel mills, claims that he and Pinky are the last of the nearly extinct mousealope species... then gets Senator Del Monte to sign a document evicting everyone but the mouselopes from Pittsburgh.

* BitingTheHandHumor: The episode is one big take that against the Kids WB network execs, who kept demanding that the show add a third character to the show, despite Pinky and The Brain being pretty explicitly a comedy ''duo'' who would gain nothing from a third character. To illustrate this, they made an episode where a third mouse named Larry appears, [[RememberTheNewGuy and the other two act as if he has always been there]] (he's even added to the theme song). Most of the episode's humor comes from the fact that Larry seems incredibly out of place and unnecessary to the plot, and that he keeps trying to insert himself into gags and situations where he adds nothing. Either the execs didn't get the joke, or they did and decided to take revenge on the writers, because a year later a third character (Elmyra) was forced on the show, leading to an unintentional version of the awkwardness seen in the Larry episode, and then cancellation.

* ShooOutTheNewGuy: {{Parodied}}. Larry inexplicably appears among the main cast and Pinky and Brain at first regard him as if he was always with them until eventually realizing that his existence is completely unnecessary.
