I never got any of the "Are you pondering what I'm pondering" jokes from Pinky and the Brain. I thought I was just young and didn't get it but even as a full fledge adult I still don't get them. Did everyone understand Pinky's punchline? I never knew what Pinky was ever referring to or if he even is referring to anything.

Brain has an idea, but Pinky has a totally different idea.

I don't think that's true because I at least get one of the references:

"I think so, Brain, but if they called them 'Sad Meals', kids wouldn't buy them!"

However others don't make any damn sense to me such as:

"Uh, I think so Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu."

the point is that Pinky's brain works in mysterious ways, which is what makes him so genius

It's just a contrast. Brain always asks him that even though they're invariably not because Pinky is Pinky and Brain is Brain.

The references aren't important, the joke is that Brain has some grand scheme and Pinky is just throwing out bullshit.

I don't think you're serious anyway though.

There was an episode that takes place entirely from Pinky's perspective. In it, it's shown that he's constantly having conversations with people that only exist in his head. During those "pondering" moments Pinky is finishing half of a conversation aloud that the viewer isn't privy to but actually makes complete sense if you were in Pinky's head. So outside of that one episode you're just left wondering wth Pinky is even talking about.

Even if the joke is he's not really making any references and it's supposed to be so out in the space in what he's saying, I can't find the humor in it. Can yall?

It was just supposed to be random. Literally the same joke as the "Aw here it goes!" bit on Kenan and Kel

Occasionally they'd sneak a reference in, but for the most part there was nothing to "get"

In all seriousness, I don't find it funny either but it's a kids cartoon from the 90's.

But I get all the other humor they portray though. It's just strictly the pondering crap that's not funny

I think so Brain, but if Jimmy cracked corn and no one cared, whyd he keep doing it?
