Episode: Season 1, Episode 5\\
Title: Brainania\\
Directed by: Creator/JonMcClenahan\\
Written by: Creator/JohnMcCann\\
Air Date: November 12, 1995\\
Previous: Pinky & the Fog / Where No Mouse Has Gone Before / Cheese Roll Call\\
Next: TV or Not TV]
"Brainania" is the fifth episode of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.
The Brain's latest goofy scheme for world domination involves shocking everyone in the world with static cling, until the human race submits and makes him the leader. This, naturally, requires a gigantic clothes dryer, one which will cost $14,000,000,000.59.
Where to get fourteen billion dollars and fifty-nine cents? The U.S. government, of course! Through foreign aid! Brain picks an out-of-the-way South Pacific island, christens it "Brainania", assumes the identity of the Prime Minister, and shows up in Washington DC to ask for aid.
----
!!Tropes:
* TheBigBoard: General Odin claims that Brainania is on "the big board" at the Pentagon but eventually has to admit he doesn't know where it is.
* BlandNameProduct: "Punchline", a goof on the ABC late-night news digest ''Nightline''. Pinky and the Brain are interviewed as war between the United States and Brainania looms.
* ChekhovsHobby: To keep Pinky busy and stop him from being annoying the Brain makes him learn origami. At the end Pinky folds their check into the shape of a bird. That wouldn't be so bad, except that a frustrated Brain grabs the bird and rips it to shreds.
* ChekhovsVolcano: The island that Brain colonizes has a volcano. Naturally, at the end of the episode the volcano erupts and sends Pinky and the Brain out into the open sea, adrift.
* {{Egopolis}}: The Brain christens his fake country "Brainania", and hoists a flag with his face on it.
* HaveAGayOldTime: This show was made in 1995 so it has to be intentional when the receptionist at the State Department says "You foreign folks sure have your own queer little ways."
* ShoutOut: The War Room is taken from ''Dr. Strangelove'', complete with TheBigBoard and General Odin drawn to look like Creator/GeorgeCScott.
* SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion: When the Brain is forced to improvise a patriotic Brainania song about their supposed war with the island of Yap.

* ThisIsMyBoomstick: Subverted. The Brain flicks a lighter and claims he can "make fire out of a box." He then whips out a mirror and claims that he can capture the tribesmen's souls. They are utterly unimpressed. But when Pinky shows he can blow spit bubbles, all the tribesmen bow down in worship.
