12[[folder:The Mr. Men]]
13
14! Mr. Tickle
15
16The very first Mr. Man ever created, being Roger Hargreaves' answer to his son's famous question: "What does a tickle look like?"
17
18Mr. Tickle uses his extraordinarily long arms to tickle anyone he can get his hands on, from the postman, to the doctor, to the butcher, to even all the other Mr. Men and Little Misses. His arms can come in useful, though, for they can get kites that are stuck in trees and can answer the phone when he's in the bath. But Mr. Tickle always does as his name implies; he tickles people through windows, through letterboxes, but once when he heard the postman, Mr. Stamp, coming and he sent one of his arms down the stairs and got it stuck in the banisters.
19
20
21[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_tickle.png]]
22* AesopEnforcer:
23** He helps Mr. Happy teach Mr. Grumpy a lesson about acting bad tempered and grouchy towards people by tickling him every time he verbally abuses a shopkeeper.
24** He also helps Little Miss Tiny realize that there is nothing wrong with being tiny in ''Mr. Men, Little Miss: All Different''.
25* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: As they were originally created to answer Adam Hargreaves' question, there's a lot about Mr. Tickle and his story that doesn't add up with the rest of the series:
26** He's the AnthropomorphicPersonification of a physical action (tickling, obviously), not a personality trait or emotion.
27** The town he lives in isn't Misterland, but a regular town populated by regular people.
28** His house isn't a {{Bizarrchitecture}} reflection of what he is, being a simple one-story house with a chimney on the center of its roof.
29** The very beginning of his book states he's one of a species of creatures known as "Tickles". Such a thing is never stated again in any other book he appears in.
30** His book has no real plot. It's just him going from place to place, tickling people.
31** There's no AesopEnforcer to reign him in. As a result, the story ends with his tickling habit undealt with, and the narrator outright warning the reader that he could be anywhere, waiting to tickle anyone, even ''you''.
32* FriendlyTickleTorture: Tickling people is the whole of Mr. Tickle's character.
33* MundaneUtility: He often uses his extraordinary long arms for everyday things such as making meals or answering the telephone.
34* NiceGuy: Once you look past his habit of tickling, he comes off as a friendly guy.
35* RubberMan: Mr. Tickle can stretch his arms to grab things from far away and sneak attack tickle.
36* {{Slapstick}}: A victim of this in ''Mr. Tickle in a Tangle''. That story sees him get his arm tangled in his own staircase, get another arm stepped on by a bus conductor, get stuck in a door on account of his arms, and get said arms tangled up by Little Miss Naughty. All in one day!
37
38! Mr. Greedy
39
40Mr. Greedy is truly the greediest person in the whole of Misterland (well maybe not the greediest, there is someone else who could be greedier!). He can eat his way through as much food you or I could eat in a week in an hour! Mr. Greedy's problem was that the more he ate, the fatter he became. Then the fatter he became, the hungrier he became, and the hungrier he became, the more he ate! Mr. Greedy once has 9 slices of toast and a whole packet of cornflakes for his breakfast one day! However, he learnt his lesson when he met a giant and ate all of his giant-sized dinner! He had a stomachache after that!
41
42[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_greedy.png]]
43
44* BigEater: He isn't called Mr. Greedy for nothing.
45* FatAndSkinny: Pair trope. He's the fat one to Mr. Skinny's skinny.
46%%* FatComicRelief
47* GrowlingGut: Befitting a BigEater, his stomach often rumbles to show that he's hungry.
48%% * NiceGuy
49
50
51! Mr. Happy
52
53Mr. Happy is always happy. He always has a large grin on his face and is always trying to cheer up everyone who is feeling down. He lives in a house at the foot of a mountain next to a lake. In Happyland, everyone and everything is happy, even the flowers smile! He is so happy that he even managed to find Mr. Grumble a hobby that he actually liked (even though that hobby was grumbling)!
54
55[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_happy.png]]
56%% * AbsurdPhobia: He's afraid of bananas.
57* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mr. Happy's a kind person for the most part and willing to help cheer people up but he's far from incapable of getting angry or comitting acts of mischief.
58* BigFun: Fat, round and always happy.
59* BreakoutCharacter: Bar none the most iconic character in the series. The fact he represents the primary thing people as a whole pursue definitely helps with that.
60* IconicSequelCharacter: It's easy to forget that Mr. Happy was the third Mr. Men introduced given how iconic he is among people.
61* JerkassBall: Yes, even this guy has his moments.
62** He comes off as uncharacteristically [[LackOfEmpathy unempathetic]] in ''Mr. Men: Adventure in China'' when Mr. Bump falls in the moat in the Forbidden City and he's smiling at it in contrast to Little Miss Brainy, Little Miss Lucky and Mr. Jelly who all act concerned when it happens.
63** Him, along with Mr. Strong and Little Miss Sunshine getting mad with Mr. Grumpy for cutting through the queue at the dairy is a [[JustifiedTrope justified example]] due to the fact that the three of them had been under a spell cast by Little Miss Magic that made everyone act grumpy.
64* NiceGuy: Always happy, always grinning and undoubtedly the kindest of the Mr. Men.
65* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: You can tell something's gone horribly wrong if he ''isn't'' happy about it.
66* ThePollyanna: A rather cheery chap. Always tries to cheer others up.
67* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: [[AesopEnforcer Invoked]] on Mr. Rude in his story, where he invites himself into his house and refuses to leave until Mr. Rude learns some manners.
68
69! Mr. Nosey
70
71Mr. Nosey has the longest nose you have ever seen! He always uses his nose to poke into other people's business, always reading other people's newspapers rather than his own on the train or opening other people's post to find out what was inside. However, the people of Tiddletown do not like this one bit. All of the residents of Tiddletown decide what to do about Mr. Nosey: Mr. Chips, the carpenter; Mrs. Washer, the laundrette; Mr. Brush, the painter; and even Mr. Herd, the farmer, they all got their own back on nosey Mr. Nosey.
72
73
74[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrnoseycomics.gif]]
75
76* GagNose: They're not kidding when they say that he has "the longest nose you have ever seen".
77* GotMeDoingIt: In the Little Miss Twins story, he stops off in the title characters' homeland, Twoland, and becomes introduced to their way of speaking (people in Twoland tend to repeat the last word they said in every sentence).
78--> '''Mr. Nosey''': Do you always talk like this?\
79'''Little Miss Twins''': Like what what?\
80'''Little Miss Twin #1''': Would you like to stay for lunch lunch?\
81'''Little Miss Twin #2''': It's sausages sausages.\
82'''Mr. Nosey''': How very kind kind.\
83'''Narrator''': [[LampshadeHanging Their way of talking seemed]] to be [[NoFourthWall catching catching!]]
84* NiceGuy: Despite his habit of sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, he's a very pleasant and friendly fellow.
85%%* NosyNeighbor
86
87! Mr. Sneeze
88Mr. Sneeze comes from Coldland, near the North Pole. The only problem with Coldland is that everyone always has a cold. All of the people and the elephants in Coldland all have red noses.
89
90Whenever Mr. Sneeze gets up, you guessed it he sneezes, and then goes downstairs, sneezes, eat his breakfast, sneezes...etc. One day Mr. Sneeze decided to leave Coldland and find a cure for all his sneezing.
91
92Mr. Sneeze packed all the things he needed (mainly hankerchiefs) and set off until he found a wizard and found he wasn't in Coldland at all. What do you think happened next?
93
94
95[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrsneeze.gif]]
96
97* ArmlessBiped: He's the only character to not have arms.
98* FreezeSneeze: He sneezes so much because he lives in Coldland, which is always cold.
99* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The only character in the series with visible sclera and no arms. Possibly a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, as his book was only the fifth one.
100%% * NiceGuy
101
102! Mr. Bump
103Mr. Bump is always having accidents, bumping into things and landing in holes. Little accidents and big accidents. Mr. Bump was once carrying a ladder to fix his chimney pot, but smashed his living room window when he was turning round. When he turned to see what had happened, SMASH! went the kitchen window went as well.
104
105So you see, this happens quite a lot. When he tried to get a job, everything he did, he always had accidents and got the sack from every job. However, he now works for Mr. Barley in his orchard as an apple picker. He just walks around and soon enough he bumps into a tree and an apple falls down!
106
107[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_bump.jpg]]
108* AesopEnforcer: He helps teach Little Miss Brave about resilience in ''Mr. Men, Little Miss: Try Again.
109* AmusingInjuries: A frequent victim of slapstick comedy and his injuries are played for laughs.
110* BandageMummy: They're practically his clothing, he's always covered in them.
111* BreakoutCharacter: Very well-liked by fans and is practically the main character of ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow''.
112* ButtMonkey: The unluckiest of the Mr. Men.
113* EasyAmnesia: In "Mr. Bump Loses His Memory", where he gets so injured from falling out his window he forgets who he is, easily accepting Mr. Muddle's suggestion that his name is 'Mr. Careful'.
114* IronButtMonkey: Might as well be the poster boy for this trope among the Mr. Men.
115%% * NiceGuy
116%%* TheKlutz
117
118! Mr. Snow
119Mr. Snow is made totally from snow. When it snowed 2 days before Christmas, all the kids were very excited because it had never ever snowed so much in one day!
120
121It then became a cause for concern as Father Christmas found there was too much snow to deliver the presents to the children. He had to find someone to help him.
122
123Then he then saw a snowman that the children had built. Santa worked his magic and brought the snowman to life! and Mr Snow was born!
124
125
126[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_snow.jpg]]
127
128* ChristmasSpecial: What his story ultimately is.
129* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Several things about him and his story don't fit in with the rest of the series:
130** He's a snowman, not a LivingPolyhedron.
131** He isn't named after a character trait, thus isn't defined by one.
132** He's the only Mr. Man who wears a neck accessory (a red-and-white striped scarf).
133** He's the only Mr. Man who doesn't have a home (unless you technically consider Father Christmas's workshop his home).
134** The cover of his book is the only cover that depicts a landscape (a snowy field).
135** His story is neither a look into his life nor a cautionary tale, but a straightforward ChristmasSpecial.
136** His story is completely self-contained, as no character who came before him is featured in his story, and he doesn't feature in any story after his.
137* MotorMouth: He's a very chatty snowman.
138%% * NiceGuy
139* OddNameOut: Named after what he's made of instead of an aspect of his personality.
140* OneShotCharacter: Never seen or mentioned in any other character's story. It's Justified, however, as Father Christmas created Mr. Snow to help him on Christmas Eve, meaning Mr. Snow's only around for ''one'' night every year.
141* OutOfFocus: If the story in question isn't about Christmas, don't expect him to show up. And even then, you've still got a slim chance.
142* {{Snowlems}}: Was brought to life by Santa Claus to help him deliver toys.
143
144
145! Mr. Messy
146Mr. Messy is the messiest person in the world. You can always tell when he has been somewhere because there is always a trail of fingerprints wherever he has been. Messy by name, messy by nature! His house was not much better; there were broken windows and loose roof tiles. On one of his walks through the woods near his house, he found a beautiful house where he met Mr. Tidy and Mr. Neat, who were cleaning a house. They then saw Mr. Messy and proceeded to clean his house for him, which he was not happy about!
147
148[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_messy.jpg]]
149* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite the fact that he loves being messy (hence his name), even he looked disgusted when a slime monster covered him in slime in ''Adventure With Monsters''.
150* HatesBaths: As befits his name, hates taking baths, and has to be forced into the bathtub in the final act of the book bearing his name. He jokes afterward that, now that he is no longer messy, he'll need to change his name.
151%% * NiceGuy
152* NonStandardCharacterDesign: The only character in the franchise to be drawn as a scribble, and when he's clean, he has no outline.
153* ThePigPen: But of course. His name is "Mr. Messy", after all.
154
155! Mr. Topsy Turvy
156
157Mr. Topsy-Turvy is the 9th of the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Topsy-Turvy does everything the wrong way around.
158
159One day he rents a room in a hotel, speaking to the hotel manager the wrong way around, "Afternoon good, I'd room a like."
160
161The next day, he confuses the taxi driver with his backwards speaking, causing an accident.....
162
163Mr. Topsy-Turvy is always the wrong way round!, watch the film and see what happens.
164
165[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/09049a5850614e6ac693174ee3014d06.jpg]]
166
167* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He walks backwards, reads books upside-down (''and'' starts from the last page), has a crazy-looking house, and talks in sentences with the words mixed up. Even worse, this behavior is catching; when he visited a city, [[GotMeDoingIt the folks there started acting like him.]]
168%% * NiceGuy
169
170! Mr. Silly
171Mr. Silly lives in Nonsenseland, where the trees have red leaves and the grass is blue. Every year there is a contest for the silliest idea of the year, and Mr. Silly can't think of one. All the animals do human activity and say the wrong sounds. Mr. Silly wins the contest by painting all the leaves on the trees green.
172
173
174[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrsilly.gif]]
175
176%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
177* EveryoneHasStandards: Even though he's silly and proud of it, even he recognizes the dangers of [[RailroadTracksOfDoom walking on the train tracks]] and tries to dissuade Mr. Stupid from doing it.
178* EyelessFace: In one episode of the 90s series he takes off his hat, revealing no eyes.
179%%* EyeObscuringHat
180%%* FunPersonified
181%% * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Mr. Nonsense
182* LoonWithAHeartOfGold: Mr. Silly is just as friendly as he's silly.
183%% * NiceGuy
184
185! Mr. Snooty (originally Mr. Uppity)
186As he is probably the most stuck-up, richest, rudest Mr. Man you'd ever meet, so it follows that he is not very popular. Thankfully, the goblins take a real interest in Mr. Snooty, and use all of their magic powers to frighten him into changing.
187
188
189
190Mr. Snooty lives in the largest house in the whole of Misterland. He has the biggest garden and lives there all on his own. He is rude to everyone he comes across.
191
192One day when Mr. Snooty was exploring his gardens, he met a little goblin who he told to hop off, but the goblin's magic turned Mr. Snooty very small!
193Of course, Mr. Snooty shouted and screamed at the goblin, but he didnt turn him back, so he followed the little creature to his own land and met the King of the goblins,
194
195[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bluemr_uppity.jpg]]
196* CoolCar: He owns a large and long limousine.
197* FriendlessBackground: Had no friends in Bigtown prior to meeting the Goblin, due to his rude behavior.
198%%* HighClassGlass
199* JerkassHasAPoint: Has his moments where he comes off as right despite being rude about it:
200** He wasn't wrong in calling out Mr. Noisy for practising his music too loudly given that he had been disturbing everybody with it in the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 90s cartoon's]] episode ''Mr. Noisy, the Music Man''.
201%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold
202* PerpetualFrowner: Doesn't really smile that much.
203* SuddenNameChange: Like Little Miss Greedy, his name was changed from Mr. Uppity to Mr. Snooty due to the word "uppity" having a racist history.
204* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual Mr. Men website]], he likes Caviar.
205%%* UpperClassTwit
206
207
208! Mr. Small
209
210Mr. Small is so very small, if he stood next to a pin, the pin would be far bigger than him! Mr. Small desperately wants to get a job. Luckily a kind man, in whose garden Mr. Small lives in, helps him by finding him lots of odd jobs to do.
211
212Mr. Small works in a restaurant, but keeps falling in the mustard pots, then worked in a sweetshop but fell into the sweet jars, and it went on and on...Until one day, I won't spoil it for you but it all ended happily ever after!
213[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4b5247c253a604958ea5014a5ce3e14f.jpg]]
214* HeightAngst: His smallness tends to give him a lot of problems.
215* NiceGuy: Mr. Small has a heart that is just as big as he is small.
216
217! Mr. Daydream
218
219When a little boy called Jack daydreamed as he usually does, Mr. Daydream appeared before him and took him on an adventure on his giant flying bird. He flew them to Africa where they met an elephant and a crocodile that tried to eat them!
220
221They then went to Australia, where Mr. Daydream and Jack played with a boomerang, and then they even went to the North Pole where Mr. Daydream fell into the snow! Lastly he went to the wild west and he wore a cowboy's hat, but when it went over his head, Jack woke up to find that he had been daydreaming in class again!
222
223[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/45803cb8aedd108f044a7d728202f109.jpg]]
224%% * NiceGuy
225* NotSoImaginaryFriend: It's implied at the end of the AnimatedAdaptation that he might actually be real.
226
227! Mr. Forgetful
228
229Mr. Forgetful forgets everything and anything! When he wakes up, he tries to remember his dreams and of course cannot. He walks into his wardrobe instead of out the bathroom and always has burnt toast for breakfast!
230
231He found an old letter that he meant to post three weeks ago, and went to buy a stamp at the post office for it. By the time he got there, he had forgotten what he needed, but Mrs Parcel reminded him that he needed a stamp! Mr. Forgetful was asked by the village policeman to deliver the message, "There's a sheep loose in the lane", to Farmer Fields, but he got confused and told him, "There a goose asleep in the rain!"
232
233
234[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_forgetful.jpg]]
235* ForgetfulJones: He isn't called "Mr. Forgetful" for nothing.
236%%* TheDitz
237%% * NiceGuy

239
240! Mr. Jelly
241
242[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrjelly_128.jpg]]
243
244Mr. Jelly is frightened of absolutely everything! Even the slightest thing will send him hiding under the covers! He lives in a quiet house far out into the woods where there is nobody to scare him, except when he one day meets a tramp who tells him how not to be scared, and that is to count from 1 to 10 everytime he gets scared. He then tried it all the time, such as when he thought that is was a crocodile or a tree about to fall on top of him, and he realised that he stood on a twig!
245
246* DubNameChange: Called "Mr. Nervous" in the US translation, since what's known as "jelly" in Britain is referred to as the trademarked "jello" in America. This is averted in pretty much any American dub of the animated adaptations, though this translation was used in both the British and American versions of ''WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow''.
247%%* LovableCoward
248%%* NervousWreck
249%% * NiceGuy
250* YourSizeMayVary: Coupled with EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, Mr. Jelly is depicted as being the same size as Mr. Small or Little Miss Tiny, which justifies his fear of everything. In later appearances, he is more or less the same height as the other characters, although he returns to being small enough to hide under Mr Strong's hat in the ''Go Camping'' book.
251
252! Mr. Noisy
253
254[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrnoisy_9.gif]]
255Mr. Noisy is the noisiest person in the world. When he sneezes, you can hear him in the next country, and when he snores, it sounds like a herd of elephants! He lives on top of a hill in Wobbletown, which is called that because it always wobbles when Mr. Noisy is shouting. One day, Mr. Noisy decided to get some meat and bread from Mrs. Crumb and Mr. Bacon, but they were so annoyed of him being rude and shouting so loudly, the ignored him until he would speak normally. At the end of the day, Mr. Noisy was a changed man.
256%% * NiceGuy
257%%* NoIndoorVoice
258
259! Mr. Lazy
260
261[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrlazy_512.jpg]]
262
263Mr. Lazy is the laziest person in the world. He can sleep for hours upon hours upon hours. In Lazyland, they don't even get up in the morning, they get up in the afternoon. One day, when Mr. Lazy was taking a nap outside in a chair, he was woken up suddenly by the sound of someone shouting "WAKEUPWAKEUP!". That person was in fact two people, Mr. Busy and Mr. Bustle. These strange two men made sure that Mr. Lazy got to work as there was wood to chop, floors to clean, coal to get, windows to polish, and a lot more things. Mr. Lazy had never done this much work in his life, but luckily for him, the two visitors only turned out to be a big dream!
264
265
266%%* HeavySleeper
267%% * JerkWithAHeartOfGold
268%%* LazyBum
269* UncannyValley: His skin color along with how hunched he looks whenever he stands upright makes him look quite off-putting, which is likely why his design was changed so much for WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow.
270* YouDontLookLikeYou: His design for WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow, which is changed to the point where it's essentially a whole new character.
271
272! Mr. Funny
273Mr. Funny is the funniest person in the whole of Happyland, quite the funniest you have ever seen. To start with, Mr. Funny lives in a teapot that has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. What is even funnier is the fact that his car was not in fact a car, but a shoe with wheels!
274
275All the animals and flowers that saw Mr. Funny in his show-car laughed so hard, they laughed themselves in two, laughed their tails off or laughed themselves out of the ground.
276
277
278And when the animals at the zoo were feeling unhappy because they all had colds, Mr. Funny pulled such a funny face that the elephant nearly laughed her truck off, the lion nearly laughed his whiskers to pieces and the giraffe nearly laughed a knot in her neck.
279
280[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrfunny_512.jpg]]
281
282* CoolCar: He drives around in a shoe.
283* EveryoneHasStandards: There are some things he doesn't find funny:
284** He looked more disgusted than humored by Mr. Mischief putting treacle in his hat.
285** He didn't find it funny when Mr. Grumpy laughed at him when after he fell on his own nose. (Which had grown big)
286* FunPersonified: He knows how to turn a frown upside down.
287* NiceGuy: He invites and escorts Little Miss Shy to a party.
288%%* NonIronicClown
289
290! Mr. Mean
291
292Mr. Mean is a miserable miser of a man who means to anyone and everyone. His house is broken, dirty and has never been painted. Mr. Mean simply grumbles on about the price of nails, but all of his furniture is made from old orange boxes. His house doesn't have any fires, carpets, pictures or curtains, just boring old wood. You would think that Mr. Mean is poor, but in fact, he has lots of money but never spends any of it or gives it to anyone. He even gave his brother a piece of coal for Christmas so that he didn't have to spend any money. One day, an old wizard came and taught him his lesson, by turning all his money into potatoes and whenever he was mean turned different parts of him into different vegetables! However, Mr. Mean was a changed man, and he became so kind that the following year he gave his brother a nicer, better present...two pieces of coal!
293
294[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrmean_512.jpg]]
295
296* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Averted. His house is arguably the most normal-looking house in Misterland, with the only bizarre thing about it being how dilapidated it is due to him refusing to spend his money renovating it.
297* DubNameChange: Called "Mr. Stingy" in the US version. However, he is still called "Mr. Mean" in the US dub of the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 1995 cartoon]].
298* EveryoneHasStandards: Despite his lack of generosity, even he doesn't needlessly waste water, food, electricity and energy as seen in ''[[GreenAesop Mr. Men And Little Miss Go Green]]''.
299* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
300** He returns a lottery ticket to Little Miss Tidy in "Little Miss Tidy and the Winning Ticket", despite being tempted to keep it, because he's mean, not dishonest.
301** He is initially reluctant to go and look after Little Miss Sunshine when she's sick around Christmas in "A Big Surprise For Mr. Mean". He has a change of heart when a wizard shows him how sick she is.
302** In "Mr. Men, Little Miss: Be Kind", he's initially rude to Little Miss Sunshine and Mr. Funny by stepping on the former's flowers and making fun of the latter when his car breaks down. However, he later helps Mr. Small to see Little Miss Magic's magic show by lifting Mr. Small up and then makes up his rude behavior towards Little Miss Sunshine and Mr. Funny by giving the two of them apology gifts.
303* LeanAndMean: Literally. He's one of thinnest Mr. Men and is not called "Mr. Mean" for nothing.
304* NonIndicativeName: Though he ''can'' be a {{Jerkass}}, he's primary personality trait is meant to be stinginess, as his story is about him refusing to spend his money to renovate his house and buy things for others. His name's changed to "Mr. ''Stingy''" in the USA as a result.
305* NonStandardCharacterDesign: One of the only two Mr. Men whose ears are actually visible on his head.
306* PerpetualPoverty: Averted. He ''does'' have money, he's just too stingy to spend any of it. As a result, his house looks like a rundown shack and he has old orange boxes for furniture. He could spruce up his house and buy actual furniture at literally any time. He just doesn't want to.
307* TheScrooge: He uses his money only for counting and sends coal as a gift.
308* TookALevelInJerkass: [[DownplayedTrope Mr. Mean was already a Jerkass to begin with]], but his actions in "The Christmas Letter", such as making Little Miss Tiny work as a slave for him all [[DisproportionateRetribution because she asked him for a glass of water]] were cruel, even for him.

313Mr. Chatterbox can go on forever. He simply wouldn't stop talking! He would talk to anybody and everybody about anything and everything. One day he was talking to Mr. Stamp the postman for so long, that he was late delivering everyone else's letters.
314
315
316
317He then went on to talk to Mr. Bowler, the hat maker. The villagers and him were getting tired of his chatting, so he ordered in a special hat for Mr. Chatterbox. When he tried it on, Mr Chatterbox suddenly found that the hat was getting bigger and bigger until it covered him completely up!

326Mr. Fussy is so fussy that he would have to make sure that everything was all neat and tidy, and in its proper place. Absolutely everything had to be clean or straight. He spends every day of his life doing this, fussing over this and that. "Fussy old fusspot" everyone calls him. One day, his long lost cousin from Australia, Mr. Clumsy, came to visit. Mr Fussy's trouble started then, as he is the complete opposite to cousin. In the end, however Mr. Clumsy does decide to leave, but Mr Fussy has another unexpected visit from someone else...
327
328* ButtMonkey: He suffers due to his cousin Mr. Clumsy's bumbling and gets half of his mustache shaved off by Mr. Mischief.

335
336Mr. Bounce is so like a rubber ball, that when he touches the floor, he bounces right up and down! He once climbed over the farm fence and when he landed on the other side, he bounced so high, he landed with a splash in the duck pond, and weren't they surprised to see him!
337
338
339
340Mr. Bounce was so sick and tired of bouncing everywhere, that he decided to go and see the Mr. Men doctor, Dr. Makeyouwell. Mr. Bounce went into town on the local bus, but after stepping off of the bus, he bounced up into the air, and through the window of the doctor's surgery....
341
342The doctor gave Mr. Bounce some special boots that helped weighed him down and stopped him bouncing all the way home.

352
353
354Mr. Muddle is an individual who can never get anything right. The simplest of things confuses him, such as putting on his coat and hammering in a nail into the wall. Mr. Muddle even walks back to front! On a day out, Mr. Muddle met George the fisherman, who really confused Mr. Muddle when he simply asked him to help him push his boat out to sea. George told Mr. Muddle the exact opposite of what he really wanted him to do, and Mr. Muddle did exactly the right thing! George then told everyone in Seatown how to deal with Mr. Muddle. The next day, he met Mr. Brick, the town builder, who did exactly the same thing when he asked him to hold his coat (so Mr. Muddle held his ladder), and so did Mrs. Scrub and Mr. Black.
355
356* BodyHorror: Downplayed. Some fans find the fact his legs are on backwards more endearing than horrifying.
357* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Is so named because everything he does ends up in a hopeless muddle. He wanted to live in the countryside but got muddled and built his house by the seaside instead, and when he tries to make a roast dinner of turkey, potatoes, peas, and gravy, he puts the turkey in the cupboard to cook and the potatoes in the fridge to boil, then peels the peas and tries to slice the gravy.
358* MindScrew: His body and legs ''move in opposite directions'' when he walks.
359%%* NiceGuy
360* OddballInTheSeries: The only "negative" Mr. Man who ends his story learning nothing and not changing for the better in any way. This is because the people around him essentially [[{{Gaslighting}} gaslight]] him into thinking he's doing everything right by constantly telling him he's doing a good job. As a result, he remains just as a muddled as he's always been, if not ''more''.
361* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual official Mr. Men website]], his favorite meal is roast dinners.

367Mr. Dizzy lives in Cleverland, where everybody is clever except for him - until, one day, because a pig and an elephant take advantage of him, he wishes himself clever as he drinks from a wishing well, despite being unaware of its magical properties. He returns and asks the pig, "What's fat and pink and goes Atishoo, Atishoo?" (This is replaced with "Achoo! Achoo!" in the US edition.) The pig is flummoxed until Mr. Dizzy tickles the pig's nose, causing him to sneeze and say, "Atishoo! Atishoo!" Next he asks the elephant, "What's large and grey and goes Dopit, Dopit?" The elephant is clueless until Mr. Dizzy ties a knot in the elephant's trunk, causing him to declare, "Dopit! Dopit!" and, addressing the readers, "I duppose doo dink dat's fuddy."
368
369* {{Expy}}: Of Mr. Greedy, except he's brown and has a different personality.

380* AesopEnforcer: He teaches Little Miss Naughty a lesson about playing mean-spirited pranks on people by tweaking her nose every time she tries to play a prank on someone.
381* TheAce: Try and name one thing that Mr. Impossible can't do.
382* {{Flight}}: One of Mr. Impossible's abilities; he simply stands outside and flaps his arms, and away he soars.
383* {{Invisibility}}: Another of Mr. Impossible's abilities; if he concentrates hard enough, he becomes invisible. This comes in handy when Mr. Small enlists his help for the plan to make Little Miss Naughty start behaving herself; Mr. Impossible turns himself invisible and tweaks Little Miss Naughty's nose whenever she is about to wreak havoc.
384%% * NiceGuy
385* PurpleIsPowerful: He's purple and is possibly the most powerful character in the series, since nothing is impossible to him.
386* SuperStrength: Some of Mr. Impossible's impossible feats involve super strength, such as kicking a football so high that it has snow on it when it returns to the ground.
387* TokenMinority: Is often the only character in most depictions with an American accent. And it's a ''Southern'' American accent, too. However, this is averted (and somewhat downplayed) with the US dub of the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 1995 cartoon]] where he speaks with a slight Italian accent.
388* WeDoTheImpossible: He's not called "Mr. Impossible" for nothing.

397* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Mr. Strong has an unfortunate habit of shutting his front and back doors so hard that they break off their hinges, and when he isn't paying attention to where he is going, anything in his path - a tree, a brick wall, etc. - ends up worse for wear.
398* NiceGuy: He rescues a lonely Little Miss Tiny from Ginger the farm cat, and takes her out to meet his friends, including Mr. Funny, Mr. Greedy, and Mr. Small.
399* PowerUpFood: Mr. Strong gets his incredible strength from his diet of eggs, eggs, and more eggs.[[note]] And, according to his story's final line, ice cream.[[/note]]
400* SuperStrength: Mr. Strong's defining characteristic is his incredible physical strength. He lifts an entire barn, flips it upside down to fill it with water from a river, and carries the now much heavier barn to put out the fire consuming a farmer's cornfield. All without breaking a sweat.

406Mr. Grumpy is the grouchiest person in the world. He's always in a bad mood, hating anyone or anything he comes across. He can't stand books so he tears out all of the pages (so it's a waste of money to buy them), and he is rude to Mr. Happy who comes to visit. Mr. Happy tells Mr. Tickle to tickle Mr. Grumpy if he is mean to somebody. This works, because it makes Mr. Grumpy nicer. Now when he picks up a book, he only tears out one page.
407
408
409* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he destroys a book out of anger.
410* GossipEvolution: In the book ‘‘Little Miss Sunshine Keeps Her Smile’’, he is not only an unwitting victim of this, he wasn’t even the intended target. Having failed to make Little Miss Sunshine grumpy several times, he had lied about her calling Little Miss Bossy names in a last effort to make her grumpy, but the message reached Miss Bossy through Mr Muddle, who naturally muddled the message and made her think Mr Grumpy was the one calling her names.

429Mr. Quiet lives in Loudland, where everybody and everything is too loud for him. Loudland would be suitable for Mr. Noisy, but not for Mr. Quiet. Mr. Quiet is scared. Whenever he tries to go shopping, he can only whisper what he wants, which results in the grocer, the milkman, the baker, and the butcher to shout "CAN'T HEAR YOU! NEXT PLEASE!" One day, Mr. Quiet gets a letter from Mr. Happy to stay in Happyland, where Mr. Quiet gets a job in a library, where the rule is to always be quiet. Mr. Quiet is so happy he laughs out loud.

439Mr. Rush is always in a rush. He never does anything properly. He is in such a rush he has a terrible breakfast (toast not toasted, water cold), only brushes one tooth, and runs out of the house to go nowhere. He sees an ad for a vacation in a magazine but can't go away because he has no money, so he wants a job to make money. Being a bus driver isn't good, because he doesn't stop at any of the stops, being a waiter isn't good because he'd whisk away the food as soon as he brought it. The job he finds is as a postman delivering express letters, the best job for the fastest thing on two feet. He saves enough money and goes on vacation.

This was especially prominent in the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 1995 series']] episode ''One Day in the Life of Mr. Perfect'', when Mr. Snooty and Mr. Grumpy, both of them fed up with Mr. Perfect's friendliness, did anything they could to make him miserable, but all of their plans failed as Mr. Perfect did not get upset at them even once, much to Mr. Snooty and Mr. Grumpy's chagrin.
574* ButtMonkey: As hard as it is to believe, even Mr. Perfect is capable of having bad days:
575** In ''Mr. Men and Little Miss Go Dancing'', his and Little Miss Star's dance routine ends up getting sabotaged by Mr. Mischief and Little Miss Naughty, both he and Little Miss Star end up going home feeling miserable and then it's reported on the news, most to his shock and increased dismay.
576** In ''Mr. Men And Little Miss: Happy Diwali'', he makes a perfect rangoli only for Mr. Tickle to tickle him and completely ruin it, and then later when it's time for the diwali feast, Mr. Tickle tickles him again along with the others.
577** ''In Mr. Men And Little Miss: The Christmas Contest'', he puts lord knows how much into making his christmas decoration display, only for [[YankTheDogsChain Little Miss Naughty to steal all the decorations just at the moment that he was going to turn them on.]]
578* {{Expy}}: Of Mr. Fussy, to some degree. However, this is mostly downplayed as they have polar opposite personalities. While Mr. Fussy and Mr. Perfect both never have a single thing out of place and make sure of that, the former is more short-tempered and gets very irritated at the slightest imperfection, whilst the latter is more easy-going and rarely gets agitated.
579* MellowFellow: Mr. Perfect is usually very calm and rarely ever gets agitated.
580* NiceGuy: He has perfectly good manners and doesn't even complain at Mr. Snooty for being rude and miserable throughout his birthday party or at Mr. Mean for getting him a crappy present.

583! Mr. Cheerful
584[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mrcheerful.gif]]
585Never has Mr. Cheerful been without a smile. From breakfast in the morning to his bath at night. He was even happy when it rained! When he met Mr. Funny, he was so happy that he pulled off a funnier face than he usually does. One day, he runs into Little Miss Splendid who begins to smile, but then complains about Mr. Cheerful not raising his hat. For the first time in his life, Mr. Cheerful lost his smile--and blushed bright red. Miss Splendid finally talks him into raising his hat, showing the total of only three hairs on his head. Miss Splendid tells Mr. Cheerful that it is his big bright smile that everyone loves, not how many hairs he has on his head. So from that day on, Mr. Cheerful was once again, never without a smile. And everyone he passes leaves with a smile. There's only one thing left to say... hats off to Mr. Cheerful!
586
587* DarkSecret: He only has three hairs on his head, which is why he always wears a hat on his head. Little Miss Splendid helps him get over it. In one episode of the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 90s cartoon]] (namely ''Mr. Cheerful Doffs his Hat''), he panics after Mr. Tickle takes his hat off to reveal his three hairs and claims that he feels lost without it. Fortunately, Little Miss Shy reassures him that such a silly thing like that should not stop him, and so Mr. Cheerful cheers back up quickly just as Mr. Tickle gives him his hat back.
588* {{Expy}}: Of Mr. Happy, except a little more [[{{Pun}} rounded]], what with his insecurity for the hairs on his head.
589%%* NiceGuy
590* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: He loses his smile and gets quite flustered whenever the topic of tipping his hat is brought up.
591* ThePollyanna: Very rare to see him without a smile on his face.
592* VagueAge: In his book, Little Miss Splendid calls him "young man." This implies that he may be one of the younger Mr. Men, but it is not known how old he may be.

604[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_rude_4apng.png]]
605
606Mr. Rude is rude to everyone, as his name suggests. He insults a man with a big nose and an overweight woman. To the overweight woman he says "Fatty! You're supposed to eat the things in the fridge, not eat the fridge as well!" However, when Mr. Happy comes to stay with him for a while, Mr. Rude begins to develop manners and gives Mr. Happy meals, though as we can tell by the end of the book, he still has some rudeness within himself as he burps.
607
608* {{Jerkass}}: He is rude to practically everybody and anybody who crosses his path.
609* {{Jerkass has a point}}: Despite being disliked for being so rude and nasty, he is not wrong about how Little Miss Chatterbox's constant chattering can be quite disruptive as seen in ''Little Miss Chatterbox and the Frog Prince'', when he chides her for holding up the line with her constant chatttering and then yells out "Who cares!" upsetting her.
610%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
611* {{Gasshole}}: At the end of his book, he burps. This trope applies to him most prominently in the [[WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow 2008 cartoon]], where he not only burps, but he also breaks wind.
612
613! Mr. Good
614[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mr_good_4apng_9.png]]
615Mr. Good lives in a town called Badland, where everyone is bad. When he opens a door for someone, he gets kicked in the shin! Mr. Good decides to take a long walk and ends up in Goodland. He lives there now but never steps in puddles for fear they will be deep like in Badland.
616
617He could be related to Little Miss Bad.

621* {{Foil}}: To Little Miss Bad.

669[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/puzzle_little_miss_bossy_tne.jpg]]
670* TheBully: In "Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother" where she and Little Miss Naughty mock Little Miss Shy for blushing
671* ControlFreak: She isn't called "Little Miss Bossy" for nothing.
672* FearOfThunder: Little Miss Brave's story reveals that she's scared of thunder and lightning.
673%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
674* KarmaHoudini: [[AvertedTrope She normally pays for being bossy and demanding,]] but there is one moment where she gets away with being rude:
675** In "[[KickTheDog Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother]]", neither she nor Little Miss Naughty pay for insulting [[ShrinkingViolet Little Miss Shy]] for her shyness and driving her to tears outside of being shocked when the glass slipper actually fits her.
676* ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife: She has a very demanding attitude.
677* PerpetualFrowner: Not a very smiley person.
678* VolumetricMouth: To show how much she barks orders, her mouth is usually drawn very big and wide, to the point where it's her default expression.

684* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: On rare ocassions such as when she apologized to Farmer Fields for wrecking his potato stand in ''Thank Goodness For Mr. Slow''.
685* KarmaHoudini: [[AvertedTrope She normally averts this trope,]] but there are a few occasions where she isn't brought to justice for her actions:
686** In "Mr. Tickle In A Tangle", she doesn't get punished for tying Mr. Tickle's arms together when he was just trying to tickle her.
687** In "[[KickTheDog Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother]]", neither she nor Little Miss Bossy pay for insulting [[ShrinkingViolet Little Miss Shy]] for her shyness and driving her to tears outside of being shocked when the glass slipper actually fits her.

695
696!! Little Miss Sunshine
697[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_miss_sunshine.png]]
698* ArbitrarySkepticism: In ''Mr. Men: Adventure Under The Sea'', she laughs off Little Miss Dotty's suggestion that they may find a mermaid, despite her being a shaped human as well as the fact that she lives in a universe where wizards exist. Unlike with Little Miss Stubborn though, she doesn't try and ''prove'' that it's not really a mermaid when she sees one at last.
699* BigFun: Is round in shape and defined by her sunny nature.

708* BabyOfTheBunch: While most of the cast are implied to be young adults or in their late-teens, Little Miss Tiny seems to be the youngest Little Miss.
709* DistaffCounterpart: To Mr. Small.
710* HeightAngst: Her smallness tends to give her a lot of problems.
711* KickTheDog: She's a victim of this from other characters. Being forced to work as a slave for Mr. Mean, getting insulted by Mr. Rude, having her lollipop stolen by an ogre and getting launched into the air by Little Miss Naughty.
712* NiceGirl: Little Miss Tiny has a heart that is just as big as she is small.
713* ProneToTears: She's the biggest crybaby in Misterland, just like Little Miss Shy.

717!! Little Miss Trouble
718[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_miss_trouble_3a.png]]
719* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When Dr. Makeyouwell remarks that she's received [[HoistByHerOwnPetard "a taste of her own medicine"]] -- after coming across her fresh off a ten minute tickle-bumping from Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump, thanks to him and Mr. Small -- in the animated adaptation of her original story, Little Miss Trouble actually finds it funny and has a chuckle out of it with him.
720* ConsummateLiar: In her own story, she managed to deceive Mr. Clever. Keep in mind that the latter's meant to be one of the smartest people in Misterland.
721* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Averted. Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump beat her up, and the narrative describes it in a way that it's completely warranted and justified. It helps that she deserves it due to her actions causing Mr. Small to end up with two black eyes and an injured foot.
722* EvilRedhead: Little Miss Trouble is one of the series' rare redheads, and while ''evil'' is definitely pushing it, she's certainly one of the biggest troublemakers around and revels in making mischief.
723* FrameUp: She framed Mr. Small for giving rude nicknames to Mr. Snooty and Mr. Clever.
724* HoistByHerOwnPetard: After framing Mr. Small for giving rude nicknames to Mr. Uppity and Mr. Clever, Mr. Small frames her for giving rude nicknames to Mr. Tickle and Mr. Bump, which causes her to be tickled and bumped by them. Her schemes often tend to backfire on her as well in the TV series.
725%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
726* KarmaHoudini: While [[AvertedTrope karma normally catches up to her whenever she does something bad,]] there are a few times where she doesn't receive comeuppance for her actions:
727** In Mr. Brave's story, she doesn't get any legit comeuppance for attempting to humiliate Mr. Brave in front of everybody, despite being shocked that people still praised him for arriving late for [[ControlFreak Little Miss Bossy's]] tea party.
728** In the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 90s series]] episode "Mr. Skinny's Incredible Bet", she isn't caught for causing a fight between Mr. Skinny and Mr. Greedy.
729* KindnessBall: Aside from her TheReasonYouSuckSpeech towards Little Miss Star, she comes off as surprisingly nice during ''Little Miss Star, The Leading Witness'' despite her normally being a mean-spirited troublemaker most of the time.
730* LackOfEmpathy: When she sees the result of her lies about Mr. Small -- namely, him getting two black eyes and injuring his foot as a result of falling off a shelf and having its contents come crashing down on him -- she laughs at him rather than feeling horrible about what she did.
731

734
735%%* CuteClumsyGirl
736* {{Deconstruction}}: She's written to show how someone defined by one character trait would actually be like. Helping people is all she ever thinks about, to the point where she can never tell when her help ''isn't'' needed. Thus, she always ends up making things worse, no matter how hard she tries not to.
737* IronicName: She's not as helpful as her name implies. In fact, she’s the epitome of the proverb that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
738** Averted in the French version where her name is Madame ''Catastrophe''.
739* OddballInTheSeries: The only character to represent a positive trait but exhibit its ''negative'' aspects. She's very well-intentioned but, no matter what, will ''always'' make things worse. Her story also ends on a bittersweet note, with her preparing to "help" a sick Mr. Happy, whom she caused to fall into a lake.
740%%* NiceGirl
741%%* TheKlutz
742* SinisterSilhouettes: Parodied with the last picture in her book, where she's walking down the hill, her body completely shadowed, ready to "help" Mr. Happy out of the lake.

748* DistaffCounterpart: To Mr. Impossible.
749* ForgotAboutHisPowers:
750** At the end of her own story, [[FriendlyTickleTorture Mr. Tickle]] uses the new "one tickle-a-day" rule she gave him (in return for her un-shrinking his arms as temporary punishment for him tickling Mr. Happy all the time) against her. She could've easily prevented herself from being tickled had he she just her magic powers to create a force field around herself.
751** Little Miss Magic, it was nice of you to stop Mr. Greedy from eating a poisoned apple but would it have hurt you to just use your magic powers to de-poison the apple?
752* FlyingCarpet: In the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 1995 TV series]], Little Miss Magic often uses a magic carpet to travel.

756%%* NiceGirl
757* RhymesOnADime: When using her magic in both the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 1995 TV series]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheMrMenShow 2008 Mr. Men Show]], Little Miss Magic often uses long rhyming incantations as she does so.
758* StageMagician: While she's always had the requisite wand from the beginning, ''The Mr. Men Show'' plays up this side to Little Miss Magic more, giving her a nice top hat as well. Since she legitimately '''does''' have magic powers though, it also overlaps with MagiciansAreWizards.
759* TrademarkFavoriteFood: According to the official website, she's very fond of coffee.
760* YouthfulFreckles: Has these speckled across her cheeks.

772* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed in the [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss 1995 TV series]]. She's still snobbish and prejudiced against "commoners" like in the books, but sometimes she can come off as more of a NobleBigot.
773* BeautyIsBad: Although she is as splendid as her name implies, her personality isn't exactly splendid what with her snobbery.

782[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/little_miss_late_1a.png]]
783* AlwaysLate: She [[MeaningfulName gets her name]] from the fact that she's late for everything, whether it comes to celebrating Christmas in January or doing spring cleaning in the summer. This becomes a problem when she tries to get a job, as she keeps showing up or fulfilling orders hours later. However, she finds a solution when she becomes Mr. Lazy's cook; since he [[{{Sleepyhead}} sleeps all the time]], she can show up in the afternoon.

791* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Little Miss Scatterbrain is constantly confusing the names of the other Mr. Men and Little Misses, and when she goes into town to buy sausages, she walks into a bank instead and asks for two pounds (of sausages), then wonders what the two notes the bank teller passes her are in aid of.[[note]] The book having been written in the days before the pound note was taken out of circulation in favour of a coin.[[/note]]

828** In ''Little Miss Dotty Has A Dotty Day out'', she is the one who states that she's hungry and asks what they should eat during their day out to the beach.
829** After she gets changed back to normal from being a mouse in ''Little Miss Sunshine And The Wicked Witch'', she tells Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Magic that she fancies some cheese.
830** In ''Mr. Greedy Goes To A Dinner Party'', she lays out a huge banquet for afternoon tea. Too bad Mr. Greedy gets to it before she can take a single morsel.

882* ButtMonkey: In the one episode of [[WesternAnimation/MrMenAndLittleMiss the 90s series]] (namely ''Little Miss Wise's Day Out at the Fun Fair''), Little Miss Naughty forces her to go to the carnival which she clearly doesn't enjoy whatsoever, especially at the end when Little Miss Naughty pulls a lever that causes plane ride machine to stop abruptly. The plane that Little Miss Wise is in breaks off and goes flying into the sky while Little Miss Wise says that she knew it wasn't a good idea to go to the amusement park at the very end of the episode.

A pig asks her how to get out of the tree in which he has found itself stuck, and she suggests the pig jump down, which he does - right onto Little Miss Brainy. An elephant asks her what to do about the knot in his trunk that is impairing his breathing, and she unties it for him - and is blown for miles by his newly unobstructed breathing.

951* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's a monster compared to Little Miss Naughty and Little Miss Trouble, but at the same time knows when she goes too far and can actually apologize for her actions.
952* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Little Miss Trouble is yellow and mostly just told lies, while Little Miss Naughty is purple and is ThePrankster. Little Miss Bad, however, is hot pink and is practically a villain in terms of what she's capable of.

1036* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in Mr. Mischief - A Spot Of Trouble.

1045
1046! Bossybot
1047* ControlFreak: Goes as far as preventing Mr. Funny from telling jokes, Little Miss Hug from hugging and Little Miss Giggles from giggling to mantain order and it can be presumed that it had the Extendabot tie up Mr. Tickle so Mr. Tickle wouldn't be able to tickle anyone.
1048* VileVillainSaccharineShow: If one were to think about it hard enough, The Bossybot is actually the darkest antagonist in the lighthearted Mr. Men franchise. Considering that it prevented Mr. Funny from telling jokes, Little Miss Hug from hugging people and Little Miss Giggles from giggling as well as how it took control of the other robots and got the Extendabot to tie up Mr. Tickle, it's very likely that had Little Miss Inventor not created a stop button for the robots, it would've resulted in Misterland going through either a Franchise/{{Terminator}}-esque scenario or a Literature/NineteenEightyFour-esque scenario.

1063* NerdyBully: He is a BrainyPig who is very mean to Mr. Dizzy and mocks him for his lack of intelligence.
