with increased pressure from the wb network, the series was retooled on september 19, 1998 into "pinky, elmyra & the brain", in which pinky and the brain were owned by "tiny toon adventures" character elmyra duff; the unusual change in format was even sarcastically noted in the altered title song, with lyrics such as "it's what the network wants, why bother to complain?". the decision was not well received by the existing crew. for one, according to paulsen, spielberg had stated that the "tiny toons" and "animaniacs"/"pinky and the brain" universes were to be kept separate. further, the chemistry between the characters were altered; by introducing elmyra (who tended to be even more dense than pinky), it shifted pinky to become the useless "larry" of this series, as described by paulsen. the show lasted for 13 episodes, six of which were shown intact and seven of which were split up into segments and aired as a part of "the cat&birdy warneroonie pinkybrainy big cartoonie show".

pinky's response ends with a non sequitur such as, "we're already naked", "isn't a cucumber that small called a gherkin?" or "if they called them sad meals, kids wouldn't buy them." brain would then become furious, often bashing pinky over the head. a few times in the series pinky and brain indeed pondered the same thing, though in one of these pinky dismissed his idea as being too stupid. just one time the answer was "yes i am!", when pinky's intelligence is elevated to match brain's. in another episode, it turns out that what pinky was pondering was that he and brain never ponder the same thing, which turned out to be part of what brain was pondering as well. in a short episode ("pinky's p.o.v.") the spectator sees everything pinky sees (including his imaginations) and hears his thoughts. his brain seems to censor a large portion of brain's dialogue, leaving pinky to wander into random internal tangents until brain asks the question. pinky then responds with whatever was on his mind at the end of the tangent.
