Underlings are two evil alien servants of Zaftig, on the planet Enormous in "Super Morphin Mega Monsters" skits on Sesame Street. They carry out Zaftig's orders, making trouble for innocent monsters and children on planet Earth, fomenting prejudice, selfishness, and other negative emotions. On Earth they ordered 2 innocent monsters to do something wrong like fighting with a toy truck or discrimination because of fur color, littering, or other bad behaviors.
These aliens are equivalent to Squatt, Bamboo, Goldar and other villains used on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and its spin-offs.
In their debut sketch, they were performed by Camille Bonora (the blue Underling) and David Rudman (the purple Underling). In the second sketch, Rudman took over the blue Underling and Alice Dinnean the purple Underling. For the final sketch, Dinnean was replaced by Lisa Buckley.[1]
