Back when Animaniacs and the Pinky and the Brain spin-off were first airing there was a fan theory going around that Pinky was actually the super genius mouse and Brain was the moron. I remember feeling that this theory had a lot of merit at the time, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen the show I don’t know if I can confidently say to what extent it holds up. If I ever get around to rewatching it, I’m definitely going to be watching through that lense though.
It’s supported by the show itself. Brain’s plans always fail. The one time Pinky was given a chance, he would have succeeded had the Brain not intervened.
I think there was one episode where they actually do take over the world, but somehow Pinky ends up being the leader and things go very well. Might just be making shit up though.
“The definition of insanity is, doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.” Thus by simple deduction, Brain is insane, hence Pinky is the genius.
IIRC Pinky is actually helluh smart and pragmatic, just that Brain always get’s him down.

I rewatched it a couple years ago with that theory in mind, and it held up
Make sure to watch the remake as well!

The Brain is clearly MAGA.
The theme song never said which one is the genius.
It does. One or a genius the other is insane.

How does this even happen?
I pressed a button.
You’re on social media not a fellowship committee. Never hurts to relax
It was just a curious question. You’re being weirdly aggressive.

Spellcheck is awful now, I can only assume because of vibe-coding.
It’s sad that you assume so.
it’s not a particularly bad assumption
That’s…not how any of that works.
