But it was all about just the joy of creating and being right in the middle of it, man. And when we did the first go-round, we'd just roll the tape, and people would come out and just say the most bizarre things, some of which made it, some of which didn't. Like, 'I think so, Brain but me and Pippi Longstocking? What would the children look like?' And they're just so bizarre, and the writers are so solid, and they come up with such good ones. The 'Are you pondering what I'm pondering?' You know, non-sequitur responses. I'll tell you, what I really do love though, Nick, and a lot of people I think share it, is they love the responses to, as Maurice calls them, the AYPWIPs. Speaking of, here’s what Rob Paulsen offered up regarding what his actual favorite Pinky and the Brain gags are (and note that I spent several minutes wondering what an ape-whip was before realizing he was actually saying an acronym): There are more than enough family-friendly jokes to go around, I suppose, even though sometimes adult humor makes it past the censors.

I mean, when I first heard The Aristocrats joke, which was told me.I got it from Gordon Bressack, who was one of the OG writers on the first run. Well, Pinky, I think that my favorite funny Pinky and the Brain joke is the one where you say 'Fun, fun, silly Willy.' I love, seriously just in my life, I love humor that's short, to the point, with a tremendous surprise.
