Premise
The story of the series starts with Pinky and The Brain's home, Acme Labs, gone (due to the Lab's bankruptcy, although the episode "The Ravin!" shows that Acme Labs converted itself into a Dissy Store):
- "The situation's changed/For Pinky and the Brain/No laboratory, alone in the rain,/And someone's looking 'round for where they might be found ..../It's stinky for Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain,/Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain ..."
Pinky and The Brain end up in a pet store, where Elmyra Duff purchases a turtle which is accidentally carrying Pinky and The Brain in its shell:
- "Trapped inside a store,/A girl ran in the door./She bought a discount turtle,/but ended up with more."
Pinky and the Brain go through new methods of trying to take over the world, sometimes with the useless help of Elmyra.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
