Good Idea, Bad Idea

Good Idea, Bad Idea is a recurring segment first featured in Episode 17. Each segment, narrated by Tom Bodett, would show a "good idea", followed up by a "bad idea", both illustrated by scenes with Mr. Skullhead doing both things (and suffering as a result of the bad ideas). All of the sketches was animated by Wang Film Production. In the Pinky and the Brain episode “Brainwashed Part 1: Brain, Brain Go Away”, an animated version of Tom Bodett is seen recording lines for a Good Idea, Bad Idea segment in-universe. Also, in that same episode, Brain calls those segments "tedious", and Pinky does a "Good Idea/Bad Idea" of his own.
