The Snerfs



Snerf was a monster created during Henson's early years on television variety shows. Snerf is essentially a little fuzzy tube with eyes and hair, who pops up and down. When Ideal Toys created the first licensed Muppet dolls, the three characters they chose were Kermit, Rowlf and Snerf.

After a while, multiple copies of the monster appeared at the same time, and they became "the Snerfs".

They also appeared in an early episode of Sesame Street, helping Kermit demonstrate "tall" and "short."

A chorus of Snerfs performed the opening number, "In a Little Spanish Town", in The Muppet Show Episode 113.

Four Snerfs appeared in The Great Santa Claus Switch. One of them appeared in a song as "Snickery".
