Out of Pinky and the Brain, which mouse do you think is the genius and which mouse do you think is insane?

I think Pinky is the real genius!

This is a difficult argument. The Brain is the obvious genius, and Pinky's the obvious insane one, but insanity could encompass megalomania and Pinky always seems to be able to do everything right including coming us with a world domination plan in one episode. It only didn't work once the Brain took over. Then again, all of Pinky's ideas for that plan came from the Brain's past, failed plans.
Also, Pinky has displayed other highly evolved capabilities, such as being able to hover above the ground with apparently little effort.
Though, in one episode the Brain made Pinky smarter, giving him the same level of intelligence as the Brain himself. Could you actually increased Pinky's intelligence if he's already a genius?

Is it bad that I've actually put a lot of thought into this question in the past?

Voting for the Brain, since I even remember his voice.
And I'm finding it difficult to remember that of Pinky ...

Does "NARF" bring back any memories? xD

...if by "memories" you mean huge red letters spread out all over my screen, then yes, it does.
But other than that, none.

The Brain because he sounds like a professor, who's gotten no sleep in years, and has drugged him self with dangerous doses of caffeine.

No, it isn't bad. I've given it a lot of thought too.

Initially, one would not be mistaken for thinking the Brain was the genius, but he is definitely not. While the Brain obviously shows higher intelligence and ambition for bigger and better things than the Acme Labs cage. However, high intelligence is not the only indication of genius. In (almost?) every episode, the Brain conjures up a plan of world domination, this is obviously a sign of insanity. Whereas, Pinky shows natural ability for creativity, remains optimistic, up-beat and has very good imagination, this is obviously a more definite sign of genius.

The Brain: Insane.
Pinky: Genius.

They're lab mice

Call PETA! Look what they're doing here! Forget Micheal Vick, this is a bigger story!

Since you said so.. *call* jk xD

I voted for Brain since he was my favorite cartoon

But they're both insane, just in different ways.
Pinky was crazy.
Brain was a meglomaniac.

Pbbbt, it's endearing in a mouse.

Most human traits are when applied to mice.

Interesting theory.
I think I'll do a research project on it and ask for a couple million on the grant

You can't really be any sort of genius without being simultaneously insane.
