Each week, Joey, Nathan and Kelly revisit an episode of Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Pinky and the Brain, or Freakazoid! Today the hosts discuss another great episode of Pinky and the Brain! The episode features a look at the world through the eyes of Pinky, a catchy song about World Domination, and some great celebrity parodies. How many water towers will this episode of Pinky and the Brain get? Listen and find out!

The Pinky POV

This episode is unlike any other episode, it's shown completely through the eyes of Pinky! The Brain takes Pinky to Seattle to take over the world. Unfortunately since the audience is inside the brain of Pinky, it's a little unclear as to what Brain's plan really is, but that doesn't really matter. Kelly, Nathan and Joey discuss their favorite moments in this memorable segment.

The Really Great Dictator

The Brain sings a song about world domination in order to reach the masses. The hosts all love this catchy tune!

Brain Food

The Brain has a plan to make humans realize he should be their leader. By simply putting an intelligence boosting substance on their pizza he hopes to boost their intelligence and then take over the world! This plan incorporates celebrity endorsements so the cartoon features lots of celebrity parodies. So many in fact that the hosts have trouble identifying them all!
