Sometimes, amidst all of the tips, insights, discounts, and plannings we research while writing posts or creating fun and inventive videos for you, our dear readers, we find ourselves in the depths of a very specific, and unique internet search.

For anyone who reviews our search history, you’d likely find topics like “most chocolatey dessert in Disney World,” “best time of year to visit Disney,” and yes, even “list of pink muppets.”

We won’t dignify the question of “why on earth were you Googling pink muppets” with an answer because the REAL question is, why aren’t you regularly Googling for Muppet trivia?

The Muppets represent the very heartbeat of American entertainment. Created by Jim Henson in 1955. The Muppets are an ensemble cast of puppet characters known for corny, sketch-style comedy. They have been infused into American pop culture through television, film, and music. The Jim Henson Company sold the rights of the Muppets to the Walt Disney Company in 2004 under Michael Eisner. And have since been marginally used in Disney projects and re-emerged onto the silver screen.

Many of us were introduced to The Muppets through Sesame Street, another branch of Jim Henson’s creations, and even more of us might be more familiar with some of the Jim Henson creatures that established themselves in George Lucas’ Star Wars universe with Yoda, and many of the other alien citizens of the films (but none of them are pink).

We dug deep. We stretched the boundaries of who is considered a “Muppet” (ultimately, anyone from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, no matter their affiliation), and even reviewed our definition of “pink” (how much pink qualifies them? pastel pink or hot pink or reddish pink?). And in true Muppet fashion, we just went with our hearts on who the Rainbow Connection highlighted in our search engines.

So, now to indulge you with the fruits of our Google searching and provide you with a list of pink Muppets and their contribution to Muppetdom… Muppet-tonia?…the Muppetverse? …Muppetopia… You get the idea. (But we do like how Muppetopia just rolls off the tongue…)

Snowths

The Snowths are furry pink creatures with horns and round, yellow lips who sing the “do doo do doo doo” backup vocals in versions of “Mah Na Mah Na.” They kind of look like cows; the types of cows that might produce strawberry milkshakes. They’ve graced the screen with Ed Sullivan, were featured on the original The Muppet Show, and have made more recent appearances with celebrities like Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Miley Cyrus, and Rico Rodriguez.

They come in a set —  you will hardly ever find a solo-Snowth, as their vocal harmony of “do-doos” is best sung in a duet.

Animal

Animal is the wild drummer with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. An impassioned percussionist who toes the line of inspired musical creativity and an animalistic primitive behavior that borders on impropriety. Animal is a creature of few words, often speaking in a guttural shout and repeating simple phrases. In relatively calmer moods, he can have more coherent conversations, though these instances are infrequent.

His simplicity is his beauty as his life revolves around sleep, food, drums, and occasionally chasing a beautiful woman. Is he “pink”? Well, not in its truest form. But he does have a pink mane and is often portrayed in hues of pink. So, though Animal isn’t purely pink, he personifies the passion that pink inspires. So, he’s pink enough for us.

Miss Piggy

Miss Piggy is one of the central characters of The Muppet cast. She is the leading lady of the Muppets, the queen bee, and, when she needs to be, the muscle of enforcement. She is a prima-donna pig, and stardom is her destiny. She is demure, delicate, sophisticated, and cultured (but can also pack a punch… or karate chop) — a unique hybrid of southern charm and French “je ne sais quoi.”

She is not known for her humility or subtleness, but why hide it when you’re a pig as awesome as she is?

Is she “pink?” Her earlier iterations were definitely on the pinker side of the color spectrum. As she’s continued in her career, she’s matured, and her pinkness has been toned down to more of a muted peachy-tone. But in our esteem, she is still the pink of perfection.

Floyd Pepper

Floyd Pepper is the bass player for the Electric Mayhem band, led by Dr. Teeth. Floyd’s costume and last name reference the Beatles’ album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. And his hip sarcasm lives up to his namesake’s street-cred. Floyd oozes cool. In fact he’s so confident that he is one of the cast members to have influence over Animal and reign him in when his “animalism” starts to get out of hand. In fact, Floyd is often seen at the helm of Animal’s chains keeping him in line. Because losing your cool when there’s a show, just isn’t cool.

When he isn’t helping Animal chill out with his calming demeanor, he’s poking fun and making sarcastic quips to Miss Piggy, because anyone with that much confidence and swagger needs to reminded that they’re just a pig, sometimes.

Is Floyd “pink”? Sorta. Perhaps his excessive coolness toned down his pinkish hue to more of a fuchsia or lavenderish color. But any color on Floyd is gonna look good.

Mokey Fraggle

Stepping away from our main Muppet cast, we find Mokey Fraggle. Mokey is one of the five main Fraggles in Fraggle Rock. She is a true flower child from the sixties. A dreamer. She loves painting, writing poems, writing in her diary, meditating, and is in tune with the earth. She is the oldest Fraggle and tends to take on the nurturing role within the group. Mokey is very emotional and concerned about others. She’s always ready to help a friend in need.

Is Mokey “pink?” Well, as much as Floyd is. It could be a pink, mauve, lavenderish hue. She’s not hot pink by any stretch of the imagination, but her personality is far from “hot pink” quality. This cool pinkish hue suits her.

Clifford

Clifford is the hip Muppet who didn’t hit the Muppet scene until well into the Muppet’s third decade of entertaining. He often wears sunglasses, and his multi-colored dreadlocks give him a Rastafarian vibe. Although his facial features, particularly his lips and mustache, are somewhat reminiscent of a catfish. He is also a musician, lending a cooler beat as a percussionist when the Electric Mayhem needs a calmer tone to Animal’s wild drumming.

He’s appeared with Milli Vanilli and Arsenio Hall, so this cool cat has gotten around. His hue is brighter, and he definitely stands out from the crowd. Another tone that is somewhere between pink and purple, but since we get to make the final decision, we’re adding him to the pink count.

Prairie Dawn

Prairie Dawn was practically one of the founding cast of Sesame Street. Her Type-A personality had her writing and organizing school plays and pageants, and often directing her fellow Sesame Street pals, Bert, Ernie, Herry, Grover, and Cookie Monster, in plays and pretend games. She’s an ambitious go-getter with dreams to break into broadcast journalism.

This determined young Muppet is undeniably pink. And if you don’t believe us, just ask her. She knows her mind and will tell you straight up.

Lola

Lola has a defined Mexican-American heritage, hailing from Plaza Sésamo. She’s a spunky four-year-old who loves singing, playing the harmonica, and the letter “L”. She is another independent young Muppet who wants to make friends and prove that she can do things on her own (like more human four-year-olds out there).

She’s one of the newest to the Muppet cast of characters, but has quickly become one of the most endearing, crossing intercultural lines as a Mexican-American as well as a Monster-American, and infusing harmony and friendship with all she encounters.

Abby Cadabby

Abby is a “fairy-in-training” and can actually speak Dragonfly. Because of her magical affinity, her name is actually a derivative of “abracadabra.” Abby is one of the most recent additions to the Muppet cast and brings with her a depth of experiences. Her parents are divorced, and her mom has remarried.  So Abby has learned to navigate life between her mother and father’s house as they share custody and adapt to living with a new stepdad and stepbrother. She is also so advanced that she has a “wand cell phone” she uses to call her parents.

She is adventurous, curious, and loves learning. This pink little furry monster fairy-in-training brings some bubbly energy to the Muppet family.

Telly Monster

Telly is a longstanding resident of Sesame Street. He’s a bit quirky and neurotic with a talent for playing the bassoon and tuba, and special affinity for triangles (both the shape and the musical instrument). Telly is the sympathetic alternative to Oscar the Grouch.

Unlike some of our other pinker Muppets, Telly tends to be bit insecure and needs reassurance and help building confidence. But he’s also a very deep-feeling Muppet that is capable of strong emotions at far extremes of the emotional scale, and sometimes experiences both of those extremes in rapid succession.
