Pim, the optimistic, high-pitched, relentlessly cheerful little red creature in the yellow shirt, exists in a bizarre state of "ageless adult-coworker." He has a job, an apartment, and a therapist. But he also collects toys, cries over cartoons, and has the emotional regulation of a very anxious 10-year-old.

If you’ve ever found yourself binge-watching Smiling Friends on Adult Swim, you’ve probably asked two questions: “Why is this so weird?” and “How old is Pim Pimling?”

He exists in that weird Adult Swim limbo—old enough to sign a lease and be legally responsible for workplace incidents, but young enough that you worry about him walking to the grocery store alone.

However, the Smiling Friends wiki and most fan communities have landed on a consensus estimate based on context clues. Most signs point to Pim being in his early to mid-20s , probably 22-25 years old .
