This is an anonymous account and I can say these two were actually role models for me.
For real. I was watching these when they were coming out new, with my son, and I thought “this is a children’s show but the writers know what’s going on”
A lot of oldschool cartoons are like that, surprisingly deep. They have adult fans for a reason.
Animaniacs and freakazoid were thick with societal criticism
The Tick is up there too
A golden age indeed
Duckman also, at least that first season
Pinky succeeded the one time Brain was out of the way.
Also see: the Invader Zim apocrypha.Pinky was the genius, his platform would probably be generally good tbh.
I don’t know Brain, how about we back-tax multinational companies what they owe and use the money to fund schools and housing? Narf!
“Oh no. We’re not stopping twice. We’ve got mostly orange Pinky at home.”
Pinky may be stupid, but at least he was kind.
I thought it was always implied Pinky was the genius, and Brain was insane.
As a kid I thought Brain was the shiznit, but as an adult I kinda wanna just be a Pinky.
I’d hear Larry’s platform
