The mechanical suit is a great running gag, but I’m glad it’s only used sparingly. Having the mice wear disguises and automatically fitting in is much funnier and allows for more creativity with the costuming.

Also, the mice have such a great wardrobe, they look fabulous in just about anything!

Brain’s big hulking John Brain mech suit is a really funny gag for a human disguise, but it’s even funnier how at some point he realized that all of society basically plays by Perry the Platypus rules and as long as he/Pinky wear clothing (sometimes even without), everyone assumes they’re just very, very, very tiny humans. smol beans, even.

A Little Off The Top is a biblical spoof where Brain attempts to find the source of Samson's strength. Megalomaniacs Anonymous is an insightful character study in which Brain realizes that his obsession with world domination causes him great pain and he goes to a support group designed for megalomaniacs. Feeling rejuvenated, Brain decides to use his newfound free time to help the victims of other megalomaniacs, only to realize that the biggest codependent victim is Pinky.
