Hilarious In Hindsight / Pinky and the Brain

• Much like parent show Animaniacs, P&TB frequently took quite a few jabs at Disney, yet ended up as one of the last shows added to the Toon Disney lineup. It was last seen working the late shift on weekends during the first few months of the existence of successor Disney XD.
• One episode, a Winnie the Pooh parody, has a donkey named Algore as its Eeyore stand-in. The Brain quickly realizes that the rambling Algore is quite literally full of hot air, causing the occasional warm breeze. Cue jokes about Al Gore being the real cause of global warming.
• In "Broadway Malady", The Brain's show, "Angst: The Musical", has a number called The Schadenfreude Polka. A musical with a number about Schadenfreude? How ridiculous.
• In "The Real Life", Brain is informed that "no one listens to vinyl anymore". As of the late 2010's, vinyl has been making a comeback.
• In "A Meticulous Analysis of History" Pinky mentions "the former of governor of Arkansas" with a picture of Bill Clinton in his underwear, referencing a claim that Clinton wrote his underwear off as tax deductible, made hilarious by the Monica Lewinsky scandal a year later.
• The infamous "And Larry" now sounds quite a bit like "And Peggy."
• Pinky and Brain disguising themselves as a cow to go to China in "Around the World in 80 Narfs", which had Brain posing as the cow's head, is funnier in light of computer company Gateway's commercials featuring a talking cow voiced by Brain's voice actor Maurice LaMarche.
• In the comic story "Were-Mice of London", Pinky and Brain get attacked by a wererabbit.
• In "The Megalomaniacal Adventures of Brainie the Poo", a parody of Winnie the Pooh, the Tigger expy is "Jagger", parodying Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, who talks about how old he is, with lines like "The wonderful thing about Jagger is that I'm still swinging my hips", "I can prowl the stage like a cat half my age", and "But the grooviest thing about Jagger is I'm really, really old!". At the time the episode aired in 1998, Mick Jagger was in his mid-50s, and the Stones at that point were thought to be over the hill. But flash-forward to 2021, and Jagger, now in his late-70s, is still performing more energetically than many music stars even younger than him.
