The Second Golden Age of Saturday Morning Cartoons Part 2: Pinky and the Brain

Gee Brain, what are we going to do tonight?

The same thing we do every night. Try to take over the world!

Those lines opened every episode of Pink & the Brain, a cartoon about a megalomaniac lab mouse and his goofy sidekick and their ill-fated plans to take over the world. This show started as a segment on the Animaniacs and was spun off into its own show. The hyper-intelligent Brain and the generally hyper Pinky engaged in all kinds of schemes, such as going back in time to replace the Declaration of Independence with the Declaration of Obedience. Despite the fact that their plans invariably failed, they were always ready to have another go at taking over the world.

Here is the Pink & the Brain opening theme in seven different languages.
