* EthnicScrappy: Mr. Rude certainly applies. A walking French stereotype ([[KeepItForeign though he's given a different accent in the French dub of the show]]), his entire persona is to simply walk around being a...well, rude {{Jerkass}} towards everyone else. To make matters worse, he's also a major {{Gasshole}}, making him a cartoonish "Smelly Frenchie" stereotype.

** Mr. Rude has gotten this treatment from the fanbase. He's either liked for having some of the funniest lines, or disliked for being a [[FlatCharacter soulless]] [[FrenchJerk French]] [[EthnicScrappy stereotype]] whose entire schick is [[{{Gasshole}} fart]] [[ToiletHumour jokes]].
** Characters like Miss Naughty and Miss Scary can be either seen as characters who make the show enjoyable, or characters who don't get any comeuppance for their ruthless actions.

** Mr. Funny not being able to speak, contrast to his book counterpart, which some fans were turned off as they would've liked hear him speak. Though there's some that think it's probably a good thing he didn't, as it would've clashed with Mr. Scatterbrain (Mark Risley stated this was the reason they changed him).
* BetterOnDVD: The series is better on DVD, as the footage is in 16:9, compare to how it's shown on television. This is also the case with the British version, which aside from what the American version has to offer, doesn't have the audio high pitched and contains the missing segments!

* UnnecessaryMakeover: Mr. Persnickety /Pernickety was redesigned from the character Mr. Fussy, but by the time the second season happened, he was given a drastic change in terms of looks. He was repainted dark green and renamed like his book counterpart due to Chorion wanting the show be more like the books. Some fans that grew up watching the show since the first season thought the makeover was uneeded for a few reasons. For one, his original name from the first season made him more high class sounding as compare to "Fussy" which sounds more childish. While fans like his skin color to be more darker compare to the other brightly colored green characters, some thought he should've kept the green hair color like in the first season. The last major complaint from fans was him being more one noted. While Mr. Fussy had his moments in the first season being a neat freak, he does try to be friendly with the other characters. But the second season makes him more meaner as the show focuses more on him being uptight (worse in the comics by Viz where he is strict about the rules) compare to him being fleshed out from the first season.

** When the show first came out, various fans of both this and ''[[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas & Friends]]'' did parody clips depicting several ''Thomas'' characters as the Mr. Men and Little Misses. A year later, some of the UK and Israeli voices from the show would play characters for ''Thomas''. (Though Mr. Tickle and Stubborn's VA for the Hebrew dub already voiced Thomas in ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndTheMagicRailroad'').
