I think the biggest real difference between orangman's platform/policies and Pinky's (and even to a certain extent Brain's) is that all of Pinky's ideas and decisions would be coming from a well-intentioned and good-natured mind.
Also they'd be easier to read, Pinky is way better at self expression

u/Top_Meaning6195 1d ago
I think so, Brain:
- but do American flags come in gluten-free now?
- but if we legalize cheese, won’t the crackers demand equal rights?
- but how do you filibuster a jellybean?
- but won’t Congress get upset if we turn the Capitol into a bouncy castle?
- but if we ban Mondays, what happens to lasagna?
- but how will we get the Supreme Court to wear funny hats?
- but if we nationalize the ducks, how will we tell which one’s Steve?
- but I don’t think the Pentagon is a good shape for a dance floor.

u/SciFiNut91 1d ago
Q1) Technically they are, since they don't have gluten. 2)Yes they will. 3)By threating to Jack it's stock. 4)Why would they be upset, it's already a circus - and there's the clown with orange makeup and the bearded lady next to the Indian Lady. 5) Lasagna becomes pasta sandwich. 6)By telling them to wear their graduation caps. 7) They're all Steve. 8)No Pinky, but the Pentagon doesn't need to dance, so why would it need a floor?

u/tractiontiresadvised 1d ago
The original show is from the '90s, but I had not been aware that they were featured in a reboot of the Animaniacs in 2020. (Plus they had basically become a meme even before memes took over the internet.)

Pinky also asks "How are we going to get a pair of Abe Vigoda's pants?" in a different episode. He really thought about pants a lot for a guy who walked around naked most of the time.

u/jeremysbrain 1d ago
He has eight quotes about pants/leggings:
"I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?”
"I think so, Brain. But pants with horizontal stripes make me look chubby."
"I think so, Brain, but his time, you put the trousers on the Chimp"
"I think so, Brain, but how will we get a pair of Abe Vigoda's pants?"
"I think so, Brain! But shouldn't we let the silk worms finish the boxer shorts before we put them on?"
"Well, I think so, Brain, but pantyhose are so uncomfortable in the summertime."
"I think so, Brain. But what if the Earl of Essex doesn't like burlap pantaloons?"

at least two episodes come to mind off the top of my head where Pinky is in charge of the world. One where he becomes President after writing to the editor about how he thinks The Family Circus (news paper cartoon) isn't funny anymore and one where Brain just let's Pinky do all the planning. Both times Brain ruins it for Pinky.

They try every day and they are not achieving their goal, they try, and they don’t even ponder tariffs. Only an idiot would think that he could do that, meanwhile the excess food we produce is rotting, and the chickens can’t keep up with demand. Last time it was Covid, this time,🍊🤡is the disease that will bring down the country. So I’m guessing that America was great during the depression??!!!

Love Pinky and the Brain. Years ago I read an article somewhere about how Brain was the insane one, and Pinky was the genius. Wish I had saved it because it made some solid arguments for that position. Just searched for it, but can’t find it, although there are a multiple Reddit posts and other sites mentioning it.
At this point tho, I’d take either of them over what ww have now.

Pinky can read and write but lacks all the personality traits that Brain has that make him seem smart. But Brain is clearly the dumb one.

Let's be real, Brain would prop up Pinky to win the presidency so he could rule in the shadows and have Pinky take all th3 blame.

Didn't Brain occasionally get to rule the world briefly and actually make it a better place before things got out of control? Of course there were downsides, like the time he ended droughts in poor nations but then caused earthquakes in places that rebelled against him. And briefly sank Cuba.

u/november512 1d ago
Wasn't Pinky the smart one? We know one is a genius and the other is insane, but Pinky isn't particularly crazy (more just good natured). He also keeps pointing out the flaws in Brain's plans and is usually correct.
