From an old interview with Rob & Moe:

Brandon: Where do you get the story ideas from? Do you come up with them, or...? Rob: No. Well, I have to say that I don't, in particular. There are a staff of writers who do that; that's they're job, to come up with story ideas. However, Mr LaMarche has been instrumental in influencing -- yes! -- in influencing sev-- {Pinky} several of the stories on recent Pinky & The Brain episodes-- Maurice: Oh, you're exaggerating. One! One with the possibility of another one coming up. Rob: {Pinky} I don't mind telling you, Brandon, that my friend Maurice LaMarche, a.k.a. The Brain, has influenced Peter Hastings, who is the producer of the show, {normal} and actually you've started to write a couple of scripts-- Maurice: {deep throaty voice} I've influenced him like this. [mimes passing out money] Peter, here, beef up the Brain's part, would ya? Lose the skinny mouse! Rob: All you kids out there, when you can't get something done, just pay people. It's no problem. No, but, he has... Maurice: {normal} He's used one of my story ideas already, and there's another one that he was very impressed by and might be working up. I can maybe tip off one story idea -- the one we've already recorded: The Brain tries to get some help, because he feels he's being a little compulsive about taking over the world. That's all I'll say. That's it. Rob: He has to go to a 12-step program for compulsive world dominators. Maurice: That's right -- Megalomaniacs Anonymous. That was an idea I suggested, so I'm very honored. The other one, we'll see what happens. But you heard it here first, on Brandon's show!

I always thought that was cool, since "Megalomaniacs Anonymous" is one of my favorite episodes -- but I've also always wondered what that second idea was that Moe suggested, and whether they ever made it into an episode?

Pinky and the Brain stuff and context for two of them.

The signed Pinky is that I got to go to Animaniacs live and met Rob Paulsen and he signed my Pinky plush! :D

(And I gave him portraits I drew of him, Moe, and Randy with their respective characters. I may post those here but they’re already on my insta)

And the one of them dancing on the world is a dtiys from my instagram :)

And I’ll stop yapping now, enjoy! :D

Thinking about how the words "Love, Pinky" actually got him a little shook.

[poitcast]

That one is overlooked, but it’s a lot of fun. The mice’s dynamic is great, the principal is a funny side character, and I love the ending where the mice both say “try to take over the world”!

Remember when patb gave us a canon StudentxTeacher AU? They were so based for that.

Brain definitely has hobbies and interests outside of domination.

The dinner date scene from Brain’s Night Off feels like he’s trying to infodump his interest in marine biology to Pinky hoping to connect with him (which makes sense since Pinky was attracted to an aquatic mammal a few episodes earlier), but felt shy when he didn’t get the desired response from Pinky.

I’d like to think that Brain keeps his interests to himself, but every once in a while he’d gush to Pinky over things like Don Quixote or Dukes of Hazzard.

There really isn't enough content of Brain's more geeky side when it comes to science and literature, or even just stuff he likes outside of world domination. Like he wouldn't know every obscure facet of his favorite singer's life or the batting averages of every famous baseball player off the top of his head and will infodump about them for hours.
