Mean Manny appears in a season 9 Old West sketch on Sesame Street, where he's referred to as one of the toughest people in the West. He arrives with his gang to the saloon to meet the town "Doc" for a "shootin' party" -- to get his first measles shot. In the tradition of tough cowboys on Sesame Street, Manny doesn't turn out to be as mean as his reputation makes him out to be. (First: Episode 1166)
An image of Mean Manny is used in place of Bad Bart in the book Sesame Street Unpaved.
