Trivia:
A bootleg tape of a short-tempered (and foul-mouthed) Orson Welles arguing with a recording engineer during a voice-over session has been widely distributed. It was used as the basis for an episode of this show, with The Brain reading cleaned-up versions of Welles' rantings. The episode's title, "Yes, Always", is taken from one of Orson's complaints. more
Quotes:
The Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Woof, oh, I'd have to say the odds of that are terribly slim, Brain.
The Brain: True.
Pinky: I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
The Brain: To my knowledge, never.
Pinky: Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?
The Brain: Next to nil.
Pinky: Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.
The Brain: Therefore, you ARE pondering what I'm pondering.
Pinky: Poit, I guess I am.

When will I be ruler of the world?...Angst!, 14 September 2001
Author: sngbrd39 from US

"I'm going to have to hurt you, hurt you, hurt you! / Have to, have to, have to / hurt you, hurt you, hurt you!"

This was one of my favorite "Pinky and the Brain" moments, coming from an episode in which Brain's plan to take over the world involved a Broadway musical entitled "Angst". This episode, among others, provided us with a great spoof of modern (for 1997) life. Who can forget the cloning experiment that made Pinky and Brain the proud donators of DNA to their clone, Romy? Or the staged reunion special? How about the "mystery product" infomercial? I'm telling you, a show that can deal with such profound issues as cloning and such bizarre modern phenomena as infomercials, and make it all funny to boot, has to be special. It's especially special to me because it kept me entertained for so many a Saturday morning, even when I was "too old" for Kids' WB. I probably appreciated it even more as I grew older, because I understood literary and pop culture references (and even a double entendre or two!) made during the episodes. There was pretty much something for everyone, if everyone was paying close attention.

Unfortunately, the bliss came to a screeching halt when a certain red-haired girl with a grating voice came into the picture and forever messed up our favorite mice bent on world domination (and belly-button lint). But that's another review.
