What Season 2 of Pinky and the Brain

Pinky and the Brain are two genetically modified lab mice who live in a cage at Acme Labs. Pinky is kind but not very bright. The Brain, on the other hand, is very smart but also arrogant, cunning and bitter. His goal is to take over the world, and in nearly every episode he devises a new plan with Pinky's help. The plans usually fail because they are unworkable, because of the Brain's arrogance and overconfidence, because of his own oversight or because of Pinky's clumsiness. Among his schemes are a papier-mâché Earth to relocate the world's population, a collectible trading card set, an army of clones and the Brain-Arm to become the greatest basketball player of all time.
