Pinky the Elephant

Pinky the Elephant is a pink elephant who Barney Gumble imagines.
== History ==
When Barney drinks Seth and Munchie's tainted juice (due to Homer unknowingly using hallucinogenic vegetables as part of the ingredients), he imagines a monster in his house, so he drinks beer to appear Pinky, which saves him, and Barney thanks him, also claiming that he was "always there for Braney".
== Behind the Laughter ==
Pinky greatly resembles, and is most likely based and named after, the Pink Elephants from the Disney film Dumbo. Coincidentally, both characters also appeared during a segment of implied drunkenness of the characters (as the infamous Pink Elephants on Parade segment occurred after Dumbo and Timothy Mouse accidentally drank water laced with whiskey).
Pinky's association with Barney was alluded to earlier in Bart's Nightmare, where one of the bosses of the Purple Door is Barney riding a pink elephant.
