That, and the Simpsons chose to have Treehouse of Horror VI (Because of the CG Homer short) as their emmy consideration over "Mother Simpson" (something the show staff have since regretted). It would have been interesting to see if this would have still won had Mother Simpson been the pick instead.
The gift Pinky gives the Brain is a miniature Earth keychain... So in Pinky's perception, that is the closest thing to the world that Pinky can help Brain gain.
Yeah... but threwout most of this series Pinky usually foils up brain plan. It is usually tipped off how he will be doing it at the beginning of every episode. When It isn't Pinky's fault it is usually Brain's or some unforeseen force. Like the comet that destroyed the earth leaving them to go back to Chia Earth. But it is allways hinted to you at the beginning. The writer's knew not to insult there audience by making them believe everytime that Brain would succeed. So they put in a hint as if to say "if you didn't notice this then you are gullible".
Poor Brain. He usually treats Pinky very harshly, and either scolds or hits him. Here, Brain realizes what an incredible friend Pinky is, and always has been. Pinky is willing to do anything for Brain, even giving up his own wants or desires to help him...regardless if he knows it may be wrong. In this scene, Brain understands probably for the FIRST TIME how truly wrong he has been about Pinky, and how Pinky may be the only one in the entire world who wants Brain to succeed. That kind of friendship is rare, and worth re-evaluating yourself to keep your friend and never give them up. Pinky may be nowhere near as intelligent as Brain, but Pinky's level of heart is equal to Brain's level of intellect.
The scenes 1:16 & 1:52 where Brain is just teary and losing composure while looking at Pinky just resonate with his soul at realizing what an amazing friend Pinky really is. Brain just can’t talk or think while looking at Pinky after reading how much Pinky really cares about him. All he can do is just look and cry at what a great friend he never knew he always had.
They didn't even need an Emmy, everyone was watching the show everyone was watching Fox and Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. People just watch TV at the time and it was all good shit. This is exceptionally good writing by the way
Rob Paulson is a genius or the greatest actors of all time! Tiny Toon aventures and Animaniacs of my favorite cartoons ever because of things like this
Pinky was seflless when he thought of The Brain when he wrote his letter to Santa Claus (which was surprisingly very eloquently written). And The Brain was just as selfless when he finally accomplished his goal and had the world at the palm of his hands, but only used that advantage to tell everyone to have a Merry Christmas. This is powerful shit right here, and all the more why I love this series. Merry Christmas to one and all.
There's an interesting fan theory that states that Pinky is the genius. It is based on how the theme song is worded "pink and the brain....one is a genius the other's insane". "The brain" does the same thing over and over again thinking something different will happen, making him insane, while Pinky actually does take over the world at least once from what i've read.
It amazes me that some people think this is the only time Brain actually shows he cares for Pinky. There has actually been quite a bundle of episodes in which Brain shows how much he cares about him.
+ValkyrieCain123 You have to admit it's a huge mood swing from the usual fare. You don't usually see a cartoon villain boss in tearful remorse over abusing one of his lackeys.
+ToonReel001 The mind is not as clear cut as we'd like to imagine. It might not make sense when looking at it from the outside, but it makes a lot of sense to the people experiencing the emotion.
@101770818909459010153 Yeah, I mean in my opinion the biggest thing that stands out from Brain compared to most other ''evil genius's'' you see in pretty much anything is that he is actually a caring person. He gets easily frustrated and moody yes, but Pinky has always been his no.1 priority.
This is proof that Pinky is the smart one, he showed Brain that there's more to life than taking over the world. There's so many things that life has to offer then thinking about your selfish desires. It's like trying to show your friend that the world is not so black and white and helps you make a decision and being influenced by a different perspective about life. Why is Pinky different from other goofy characters? Pinky uses his stupidity to mess up or prevent Brains plans to dominate the world, and showed him the good things about living life to the fullest. Little did Brain know, Simplicity and Happiness are Pinky's true qualities that made him the character he is.
Thomas Myatt the song at the beginning explains it enough not to spoil who the genius is and who the insane one is. but it's down to who gets mentioned first out of brain and pinky
it's the weirdest thing to see someone that you're subscribed to within the last year or two have a damn near 10 year old comment on something that you watch every year
Pinky's smarter than Brain gives him credit for. IIRC, there was a PatB episode (of the spin-off) where the two were stranded in the jungle, and while Brain froze up in fear, Pinky figured out everything that would help them survive.
CPCoulterTweedles e maybe not annoying, but definitely probably the insane part, and possibly sweet at heart part. But most certainly insane. Living like me can definitely do some shit to ya.
The episode “A Pinky and the Brain Christmas” won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, with Paulsen winning the award for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program.
This is why some people prefer the 90's cartoons more than most of the modern ones today. It wasn't just because they made us feel nostalgic, it's the amount of writing and hard work being put into these that made us believe how special they truly are.
I really loved that The Brain is willing to sacrifice his ego and chance for World Domination when he read Pinky's letter,He did realize Pinky was a true friend and he wanted to tell Santa that The Brain is a hardworking loyal friend who know wants best for the world.
Brain got EXACTLY what he deserved for Christmas. Sweet Fanny Adams. He wanted the world, he got a globe on a key chain. That'll teach him to ignore Pinky. He had the world when the leaders gave the keys of their countries to Brain for his birthday, and then opened his big mouth and lost it. GOOD! At the end of the day, Brain's mouth undoes what good Pinky's efforts might gain.
I cried when I saw this Christmas special because it captured the true essence of the holiday in its own way and not force it down your throat. Merry Christmas Rob Paulsen Merry Christmas Maurice LaMarche & Merry Christmas to all who read this comment.
+Layla The Hedgehog In the Pinky and the Brain DVD extra called Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering, which is about the two voice actors talking with the voice director about their time doing the show. Btw, the voice director made a cameo in the PatB Animaniacs segment called Yes Always, to my knowledge I believe.
Pinky, meanwhile, is crying and actually making sure to do his part EXACTLY as Brain wanted- Even says "You're on" so Brain doesn't miss his chance. In Pinky's logic, the plan is going to fail BECAUSE he didn't manage to get his letter to Santa, and he's trying to scrape together any chance at a victory they can salvage by not goofing off, or anything.
he had it!! he had control of the world! and all he wanted was for them to have a merry christmas! all because of his best pal! i'm not crying, i'm just cooking onions! :'(
This is the best Pinky and the Brain Spin-off episode and episode animated ever. The animation quality of this episode is so gorgeous and impressive for a 90’s cartoon witch was done by the overseas animation studio by THE HOLY TMS Entertainment. THANK YOU TMS THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THE OVERSEAS ANIMATION FOR THIS EPISODE. THANK YOU THE HOLY TMS! THANK YOU! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Brain is so lucky to have a friend like Pinky, i mean despite everything he puts him through Pinky really cares about Brain a great deal and he's always willing to put aside his own happiness, needs and wants just to see Brain succeed, that's what i love about this scene Pinky is the living embodiment of a true friend and as we all know Brain usually abuses and or takes advantage of Pinky, i mean i know Brain once said that he doesn't deserve a friend like Pinky and he's right, for anyone would be lucky to have a friend like Pinky and Brain sadly doesn't always realize that.
Contrary to belief, this is the one and ONLY time the Brain successfully took over the world...for about 5 seconds. A tearjerker, but still a GREAT episode, well worth its prime-time Emmy and Annie Award earnings.
So this is a super old video, but I just wanna say this. I'm 21. I didn't grow up with this show and I hadn't even heard of it till about a year ago. My friend gifted me a profile on his Hulu account so I could watch Animaniacs. I ended up watching season 1 of Pinky and the Brain in a day, and this has to be my favorite episode. I actually cried at a kid's show, which I normally don't do. I really, REALLY wish I grew up with this show, honestly for scenes like this. I have younger siblings and used to watch kid shows with them; NONE of them had the in depth character development like this one has. 100% sure my future children will watch this show, since I missed out on it during my own childhood.
Aw, The Brain completely broke down! Pinky is the best friend anyone could possibly have! I want a friend like him, even if he is stupid, and insane. :)
I was at a really good panel hosted by Maurice and Rob where it was at this point Maurice realized that the Brain isn't a villain, and BLESS HIM for it! Also the Brain believes in treating laborers fairly and doesn't take no guff from abusive managers-LET HIM TAKE OVER THE WORLD!
It was only when Brain truly realized that he had a true friend in Pinky and finally felt loved that he no longer cared about taking over the world. The love of a friend mattered more to him than what he had worked so hard to achieve. Feels are hit.
This was my first ever episode that I have seen from Pinky and the Brain. I was too young to even know the show existed. But damn. This episode really hit me.
Pinky's letter has everything the Brain needed to hear in his life. Kindness, understanding, empathy, support, praise, and love. I think the Brain realized how truly fortunate he was to have someone like Pinky. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go cry for a while.
Best cartoons ever, Pinky & The Brain, Pink Panther, Tom & Jerry, Bugs Bunny, Superman, Batman,... Now, the new cartoons are really sad!! I grew up with those old cartoons, and a happy child i was
I’ve only cried 2 times for a cartoon. The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Where Rabbit takes in the baby bird, and let her go. And she comes back. And this episode of Pinky and the Brain. It gets me every-time.
This was one of the most heart-warmingly cheesy tings I have every seen Even years after I've seen it in the late 90s it's still one of my favorite Christmas specials
Omg I almost teared up and seeing Brian cry was just genius I love Maurice lamarche and still think to this day that this is one of the best characters he ever voiced and I'd like to thank channel awesome and nostalgia critic return of the x-mass special for introducing to this special
OMG, that's so sweet!!!!! I love this show! Never saw this episode as a kid, but that scene alone makes me want to--it made me tear up. So sweet what Pinky did for Brain and how it touched Brain so much; the P.S. part of the letter was the best.
Fun fact: Maurice Lamarche and Rob Paulsen were in tears when recording this scene. maybe this is the reason this special won the emmy.
Disney guardian what day was this special recorded before it was on tv?
That, and the Simpsons chose to have Treehouse of Horror VI (Because of the CG Homer short) as their emmy consideration over "Mother Simpson" (something the show staff have since regretted). It would have been interesting to see if this would have still won had Mother Simpson been the pick instead.

0:57 The fact that Pinky considers Brain taking over the Earth would be best for the world truly shows his loyalty.
ironically pinky's letter is the reason why his plan failed
This is ironically true
GaudyMarko he might of failed in his mission this time but I think brain was happy to let that one slide because of how much pinky thought of him narf
That's the real magic. The letter succeeded. Brain got his wish. He didn't fail. He won. And honestly, he did better with the world than most.
Yeah... but threwout most of this series Pinky usually foils up brain plan. It is usually tipped off how he will be doing it at the beginning of every episode. When It isn't Pinky's fault it is usually Brain's or some unforeseen force. Like the comet that destroyed the earth leaving them to go back to Chia Earth. But it is allways hinted to you at the beginning. The writer's knew not to insult there audience by making them believe everytime that Brain would succeed. So they put in a hint as if to say "if you didn't notice this then you are gullible".
He could have took over the world any but instead he decided to spend it with his best friend.
Poor Brain. He usually treats Pinky very harshly, and either scolds or hits him. Here, Brain realizes what an incredible friend Pinky is, and always has been.

You have spoken da truth-
I think part of the reason is that Brain is the only other mouse Pinky has ever meet, but yes I agree
@@stringedmouse76 , in multiple episodes Pinky and Brain met other mouses so that’s incorrect.
Agreed! :'3
After so many failures, this was Brain's biggest chance for world domination, and he willingly blew it.
Only a true friend would do that.
And that, folks, is how you win the Primetime Emmy award in 1996 for Outstanding Animated Program.
They didn't even need an Emmy, everyone was watching the show everyone was watching Fox and Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. People just watch TV at the time and it was all good shit. This is exceptionally good writing by the way

Of course it is, even though Pinky’s insane that letter came from his heart
That said, Brain did get him a spell checker for Xmas. :P
And what happened then? Well, around the world they say, that The Brain’s small heart grew three sizes that day.

He crys again in "A Pinky and the Brain Halloween."
In the last Animaniacs episode featuring Pinky and The Brain, he gets close to tears.
For an evil genius, The Brain truly does have a heart!
He's not evil. He wants to make the world a better place.
He had the chance at victory and he willingly gave it up because he knew he didn’t deserve it today

Contrary to belief, this is the one and ONLY time the Brain successfully took over the world...for about 5 seconds. A tearjerker, but still a GREAT episode, well worth its prime-time Emmy and Annie Award earnings.
2:15
"No...I'm not winning like this...not after I hurt Pinky...."
Brain has a heart. He just doesn't show it as openly.
One of the greatest scene in fiction history.

Still think the letter's stupid, Brain?

THIS IS ADORABLE AND THE MOST SADDEST THING EVER-
Anybody else teared up uncontrollably when they were kids and they showed this for the first time? Sigh.
I’ve only cried 2 times for a cartoon. The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Where Rabbit takes in the baby bird, and let her go. And she comes back. And this episode of Pinky and the Brain. It gets me every-time.
BRUH I've only been freshly introduced to the series and this scene IS MAKING ME FREAKIN CRY
The Brain might be Evil, but he's not heartless
Brain: PS, is there any chance you have in that big ol’ bag of yours... *the world?*
Me: that’s the saddest thing ever
He finally has the world in his grasp...and he chooses harmony over domination
I know the brain is mean sometimes to pinky but honestly it was nice of pinky to do something heartwarming for the brain
So this is what Father was up to before being the archnemesis of the Kids Next Door organization
The first time Brain actually cares for Pinky.
Oh I think he's always cared about Pinky but this was one of few time he showed it openly.
apdarkness905 Or actually realizes it.
I didn't even know this exists and now I watch this clip and I am crying tears
Saaaaaaame
I really wish Nick or CN will air this special at christmas, it would be great for today's kids to see Pinky and the Brain at their best :)
This was one of the most heart-warmingly cheesy tings I have every seen
Even years after I've seen it in the late 90s it's still one of my favorite Christmas specials
Proof that the Brain does have a Heart.
Just saw this episode for the first time today... and I went in without knowing.
Omg I almost teared up and seeing Brian cry was just genius I love Maurice lamarche and still think to this day that this is one of the best characters he ever voiced and I'd like to thank channel awesome and nostalgia critic return of the x-mass special for introducing to this special
(Crying) that was the most beautiful wish I have ever heard!
Dear Santa,Hello Haha Narf.
Brain: *glare*
The disappointment in Pinky’s voice is what made me emotional when I watched this episode
At 0:52 and 1:17. It's just depressing.
this is so adorable. nearly in tears from my childhood cartoon
Oh man I actually got all teary eyed....
That was just so adorably cute and sweet.
"I don't care about your stupid letter!"
that was harsh...
Yeah, it was

Merry Christmas Pinky ❤️
@@pinkyfrompinkyandthebrain8893 Probably the new generation
Brain discovered the magic of Christmas and he didn’t want to ruin it for everyone
I want to take Pinky home with me. I don't care how animated and fictional he is, he is ADORABLE! God knows, I'd even take the Brain.
My heart! Even after all of these years this makes me cry.
This melted my heart ❤️ to a puddle everything was absolutely perfect
That's SO ADORABLE...also I love how Pinky WRITES "haha narf" in the letter. xD
Well what happened? In ACME they say that the Brain's heart grew 3 sizes that day...
If you didn’t cry, I don’t think you’re a real person
Oh, they're real people; just too far numbed by real world problems, whether us as a whole or their own personal issues.
I’m fake, no
*I’M CAKE*
Brain might act harsh to Pinkey, but deep down, he wouldn’t be happy without him
OMG, that's so sweet!!!!! I love this show! Never saw this episode as a kid, but that scene alone makes me want to--it made me tear up. So sweet what Pinky did for Brain and how it touched Brain so much; the P.S. part of the letter was the best.
Honestly, I still cry for this beautiful scene
