In the not-too-distant future, on the Warner Brothers lot,
Two mice named Pinky and The Brain were hatching an evil plot.
They snuck up on the home of the Warner kids
(Just three regular 'toons who'd flipped their lids)--
The water tower was such a peaceful place
'Til they strapped some rockets to it, and shot it into spaaace!
(Wheeee!)
"We'll send them cheesy postings, the worst we can find." (la la la)
"They'll have to sit and watch them all, and we'll monitor
their minds." (la la la)
Keep in mind, the Warners can't control where the postings begin or
end--
But they lost their sanity long ago, so don't worry about them, friends!
Warner roll call:
Rita! (Meow?)
Yakko! (Look out, sibs!)
Wakko! (Is it lunchtime yet?)
Doooot! (I'm cute!)
If you're wondering how they eat and breathe, and other science facts,
(la la la)
Repeat to yourself, "It's a damn CARTOON-- I should really just relax
For Mystery Warner Theater 3000."
...o...2...3...4...5...6...WB
[Scene: The interior of a watertower. It is well-furnished-- tables,
chairs, beds, dressers, kitchen, rollercoaster, and other basics. Sit-
ting at a table are three odd-looking creatures. The tallest one-- evi-
dent even while sitting-- is wearing tan slacks. The one to his left is
somewhat shorter and is wearing a light blue sweater and a red golfer's
cap-- backwards. The third member of this group wears a pink dress, and
exudes cuteness from every pore of her being. Sleeping on a nearby com-
puter terminal is a grey-and-white cat.]
Yakko: Is it me, or are we being watched?
Wakko: Don't say that; the only time anyone ever says that is at the be-
ginning of a *scary* cartoon!
Dot: I think Yakko's right-- someone is observing us.
[The giant TV set in the corner flashes into life. On it are two white
mice. One is tall and goofy-looking; the other is short, with a huge
head and a permanent scowl on his lips. In the background are two dogs;
one with a serious, if somewhat confused, look on his face, the other
with a smile on his lips that suggests a close encounter with a frontal
lobotomy.]
Yakko: [to readers] IIIII-- think the cartoon just started. [to TV]
What do you want, Brain?
Brain: My face on the one-dollar bill. But to do that, I must take over
the world! And you three will play a part in that plan.
Yakko: Uhh, listen, Shorty-- the notion of two mice taking over the
world is about as dumb an idea as giving Brannon Braga control of the
Star Trek universe. Why don't you go back to writing spec scripts?
Pinky: 'Cause they threatened us with flamethrowers. [Brain hits him]
<poit!>
Brain: Because I am tired of being a bit player on this stage, as Shake-
speare so eloquently phrased it--
Pinky: But Brain, you told me you wrote that-- [Brain hits him again]
<narf!>
Brain: Interrupt me again at the peril of your life, Pinky. No, I will
be more than that! I WILL RULE THE EARTH!
Wakko: How d'you plan on doing it? The Earth's a big place.
Brain: Subliminal messages in children's shows-- a fusion of some of my
earlier works. Which is where you come in. I will send you mind-numbing-
ly dumb postings from the Internet. When you are suitably weakened, I
will use you and your cartoons to plant the idea in the minds of all
children that I am the rightful ruler of the Earth!
Pinky: Egad, Brain, brilliant! Oh, wait, no-- what if they don't have
TVs?
Brain: Popularity, Pinky. Peer pressure will bring in those we miss on
the first pass. Soon enough, all children of the world will bow to me!
And then-- Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain. But how will we get the cheese and motor oil
out of our fur? [Brain whips out a sledgehammer and smashes Pinky flat]
Brain: Focus, Pinky. As for the three of you, prepare to eat dull pos-
ting! This comes from a religious flake who lost his job shortly after
dumping this on rec.arts.tv.mst3k -- not the first time he's done this,
so I expect we'll hear from him again. And so will you. Feel the fire!
[lights and sirens go on; the trio appear unimpressed]
Yakko: Oh, how thrilling.

flames. Pinky hits him in the face with a stream from a fire extinguish-
er, which knocks him on his tail. The two dogs then proceed to stomp on
him]
Runt: Catching fire is bad. Definitely, definitely bad.
Buttons: [nodding] Woof.
[Brain picks himself up, shakes himself back into a 3-dimensional form,
dusts himself off, brains Pinky with the fire extinguisher, then faces
front]
Brain: You may have survived this, but you won't be so fortunate next
time! Until next time--
[The door in the background flies open, revealing a grey squirrel with
a hat and purse. She looks old-- and annoyed]
Slappy: [advancing towards Brain] What da heck 'r' ya doin' here? I told
ya about doin' those stupid MST3K parodies! [begins beating the dickens
