"Who's the birthday girl?"

—Jangles

Jangles is a funny clown who lives in the mind of Riley Andersen. He is imprisoned in Subconscious, the darkest part of her mind. When Joy and Sadness enter Riley's Subconscious they find Bing Bong and, they find him detained on top of Jangles. After they rescue Bing Bong, they wake up Jangles so he can wake Riley up in order for Joy and Sadness to ride the Train of Thought to get home to Headquarters. They lower Jangles into Dream Productions, where Riley captures his image and wakes. Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong then hop on the Train of Thought and escape Jangles.

During the credits scene, it is revealed that Jangles is based on a real clown and that he secretly hates his job.
