Mr. Men

• Broken Smile: Has sported one of these a few times.

Mr. Small

Voiced by: Mr. Nosy: Rick Zieff (US), Steve Kynman (UK), Mr. Small: Phil Lollar (US), Keith Wickham (UK)

Mr. Bump

Voiced by: Paul Greenberg (US), Simon Greenall (UK)

• Born Unlucky: Does anything ever go right for him?
• Butt-Monkey: Why else do you think he's bandaged? He's in fact the most likely character to get hurt other than Miss Calamity. He is perpetually on the receiving end of the Amusing Injuries stick and is generally unlucky in life. Rarely is he ever thrown a bone.

Mr. Messy

Voiced by: Peter Rida Michail (US), Rob Rackstraw (UK)

• Big Eater: He has a big appetite for food of the sloppy, messy variety (e.g. pizza, spaghetti, mac and cheese).
• Big Ol' Unibrow: To be expected since he probably never takes care of them.

• Sudden Anatomy: He and Mr. Nervous are the only characters to have visible toes.

Mr. Nervous

Voiced by: Rick Zieff (US), Tim Whitnall (UK)

• Imagine Spot: His daydreams, which are always about something dangerous happening to him.
• Mr. Imagination: He has a vivid imagination, imagining mundane events as big adventures.

• The Stoic: He always speaks in a calm tone and he gets angry and is still calm even when mildly annoyed.

Mr. Funny

• Adaptation Distillation: Unlike the books, Mr. Funny only communicates from honking, rather than speaking. According to Mark Risley, this was done because they didn't want to clash him with Mr. Scatterbrain.

• Leitmotif: All of his appearances are accompanied by a distinct song.

Mr. Fussy (Mr. Persnickety (US)/Pernickety (UK) in the first season)

^{Click here to see his design in the first season}

Voiced by: Joey J. D'Auria (US), Rob Rackstraw (UK)

• Accent Adaptation: Somewhat a mix hybrid of British and American in the US dub, while German in the European dub.
• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the first season, he was originally Persnickety/Pernickety with light green skin. He was renamed back to his original name for the second season, in addition to gaining coloring identical to his original book illustrations.
• Catchphrase: "Sweet Henrietta!" and "How revolting!"
• Butt-Monkey: His Neat Freak status is often taken advantage of, especially by Mr. Messy.
• The Chew Toy: Whenever his Neat Freak status is taken advantage of, it's meant to make us laugh.
• Composite Character: He has a few elements from various characters from the books, such his facial hair is similar to Mr. Slow and his body is oval and tall like Mr. Busy.
• Flanderization: While a bit of a neat freak, Mr. Fussy is generally nice to everyone. Once he was changed to his book counterpart, he ended up taking the "fussiness" persona too much.
• Ink-Suit Actor: He somewhat resembles his American voice actor, with a mustache and bowtie.
• Misplaced Retribution: Frequently gets kicked out of places for others' misbehavior.
• Neat Freak: Perhaps his most definite trait. He wants everything to be neat and tidy as possible.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: Like Whisper from Yo Kai Watch, his voice is modeled after Frank Nelson.
• No Mouth: His mouth is completely obscured by his mustache unless he screams.
• No-Respect Guy: He's probably the most down-to-earth person in Dillydale, yet nobody ever listens to him.
• Only Sane Man: He tends to think he's the only guy in Dillydale to have sense.
• Same Character, But Different: Both Mr. Persnickety and Fussy are the same characters, but the show never explained why he changed his appearance.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: He hangs out with Mr. Messy a lot even though he is annoyed by his messiness.
• Vocal Evolution: His US voice became higher in the second season.

Mr. Bounce

Voiced by: Sam Gold (US), Simon Greenall (UK)

• Catchphrase: "Hello! Goodbye!"
• Rubber Man: He's called Mr. Bounce for a reason.
• Toyless Toyline Character: He's the only character from the first season to never be depicted as a figure through The Promotions Factory, though he does have a plush of himself in some merchandise and is part of a set with Mr. Tickle through Mattel.

Mr. Strong

Voiced by: Phil Lollar (US), Simon Greenall (UK)

• Catchphrase: "Aw, pickles! I hardly touched it!" and "Good thing I came along, yo!"
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: A common gag whenever he's around, like when he ripped off a safety bar on a ferris wheel.
• Dumb Muscle: Not as dumb as Mr. Scatterbrain, but he is careless about breaking things and thinks it's a good idea to take roofs to the shop for repairs. He also thought a monkey was an instrument but not a trumpet.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: His US version is obviously based on Sylvester Stallone.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He likes cooking and dancing.
• Super-Strength: Wouldn't be Mr. Strong without it.
• Top-Heavy Guy: As part of his redesign.
• World's Strongest Man: He's the strongest in all of Dillydale.
• Singing Voice Dissonance: In the UK version his singing voice is higher than his talking voice.
• You Don't Look Like You: He has a triangular shape body, unlike the books where he is a square.

Mr. Grumpy

Voiced by: Sam Gold (US), Simon Greenall (UK)

• Accent Adaptation: He speaks a plain American accent in the US dub, while he speaks a West Country one in the UK.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: And how! He goes from being a genuinely mean-spirited, unpleasant character in the books to a cynical, pessimistic, kind of grouchy but well-meaning person who genuinely cares about his friends and even tries to help them out (even if he complains a little). He even smiles sometimes on the show and even expresses sadness. He even tolerates Mr. Tickle's shenanigans (sometimes).
• Adaptation Personality Change: He's more tolerant of happy people compared to the original books, and instead of yelling or destroying things, is just grumpy and sarcastic.
• Arbitrary Skepticism: He doesn't believe in a snow monster, even though he lives in a world where aliens and magic exists. What makes it more confusing is that he encountered a swamp creature in the first season.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: Type I.
• Butt-Monkey: He is frequently bothered and screwed over by the world's misfortunes.
• Catchphrase: "Crooked cucumbers!"
• Deadpan Snarker: Due to his cynicism, sarcasm is second-most prominent trait after being grumpy.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his irritable personality, he's still a decent guy. He's even far more decent than Mr. Rude and Mr. Stubborn, who almost never show any likable traits.
• Only Sane Man: He's one of the few other than Mr. Persnickety not to get caught up in the latest shenanigans. Even then he has a few rare Not So Above It All moments.
• Perpetual Frowner: Due to his default personality, it's pretty much a given.
• The Snark Knight: Mr. Grumpy likes snarking at everything and everyone, including himself.
• Surrounded by Idiots: He definitely believes this.
• Trademark Favorite Food: He likes liverwurst sandwiches.
• Vague Age: In "Flying", he mentioned that he worked at an airplane service for 30 years. So it's possible that he's the oldest.

Mr. Quiet

Voiced by: Paul Greenberg (US), Simon Greenall (UK)

• Adaptation Dye-Job: He used to be brown in the original books, but is light blue in the show.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: Type II.
• Butt-Monkey: Of course, since he's quiet, he often gets dragged into loud and often dangerous situations. That, and he lives next door to Mr. Noisy.
• Deadpan Snarker: Helps him cope. A lot.
  Mr. Noisy: GREAT TO SEE YOU FELLAS! MIND IF I JOIN YOU?
  Mr. Quiet: Yes, I do.
• The Drag-Along: This usually happens to him when paired up with Miss Daredevil.
• Only Sane Man: He refuses to get involved in potentially dangerous situations. Not that one could blame him.
• The Quiet One: Obviously.
• The Unintelligible: He always mumbles, never being heard.
• Vocal Evolution: His voice in the US became a bit louder in season two.

Mr. Tall

Voiced by: Godfrey (US), Keith Wickham (UK)

• Adaptation Dye-Job: A minor one, but he is dark blue in the show instead of light blue.
• Catchphrase: "Aw, man!"
• Gentle Giant: Though he's really only a giant in the sense that he has long legs.
• Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: He was not featured on the Season 2 opening or on the offical website after the October 28, 2009 update.
• Suddenly Voiced: In the episode "Travel". It was his only speaking role, as he was otherwise a background character.

Mr. Rude

Voiced by: Joey J. D'Auria

• Adaptational Early Appearance: Mr. Rude was made after Adam Hargreaves took over the Mr. Men series in 2003 after the series was created, but appears in the first season of the show.
• Adaptational Jerkass: Zig-Zagged. While he was certainly very mean in the book, the worst he ever does is insult people and he does undergo Character Development by the end, whereas this version of Mr. Rude is a static Jerkass who does things like drive recklessly and get people kicked out of restaurants. However, the original Mr. Rude also genuinely hurt people's feelings as opposed to this version who just makes sarcastic remarks.
• Asshole Victim: His suffering is usually a form of Laser-Guided Karma.
• Deadpan Snarker: For example, from the episode "Games" when he, Mr. Happy, and Mr. Lazy were playing horseshoe toss:
  Mr. Lazy: Wait a minute, Mr. Happy. You mean I have to throw something, like with my arms?
  Mr. Rude: No, Mr. Lazy. With your magic powers.
• French Jerk: On both sides of the Atlantic, no less.
• Gasshole: He has a tendency to fart a lot, and to a lesser extent, he also burps.
• Hypocritical Humor: "Some people have no manners."
• Jerkass: The biggest one in the show. His name speaks for itself, and unlike most other unpleasant characters in the show, he has almost no redeeming qualities. He was even willing to leave Miss Giggles to die in "Machines".
• Jerkass Has a Point: In spite of his rudeness, there are times where Mr. Rude is completely right about certain things - particularly when he is in conflicts with Mr. Stubborn.
  • In "Full Moon", for example, he gets rightfully annoyed with Mr. Stubborn for driving too slow when he clearly was in a hurry to get home. Additionally, Mr. Rude is clearly aware that the aliens that abducted them and taken them into their spaceship are real, despite Mr. Stubborn insisting otherwise.
  • When Mr. Stubborn comes into his house to fix his stuck window and leaky sink (as well as change the lightbulbs on his chandelier) in "Home Improvement", Mr. Rude rightfully points out that Mr. Stubborn is clearly not doing his jobs correctly. Hell, even Mr. Small agrees with Mr. Rude over the leaking sink.
• Karma Houdini: Depending which episode, he might or might not have any consequences for his actions. "Restaurants", "Telephone" and "Dance Dance Dance" for example.
• Mad Libs Catch Phrase: "I'll give you (x)."
• Mythology Gag: In a few episodes in Season 2, he had a top hat, similar to what he wore in the books.
• Phrase Catcher: "MR. RUDE!" In the first season, it was said by a crowd of Mr. Men and Little Misses, but in Season 2, a random Mr. Men or Little Miss would say it in the middle of a random activity as a sort of Cutaway Gag.
• Running Gag: Whenever he passes gas, a bunch of Mr. Men and Little Misses angrily shout "Mr. Rude!"
  • In the second season, this was changed to a single Mr. Man or Little Miss shouting, oftentimes in a humorous situation of their own.
• Say My Name: Mentioned above.
• Shorter Means Smarter: He's usually like this if he's by anyone who's taller than him.
• Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: He is like this depending on certain sketches due to him being very rude. In "Jobs", he throws his trash out while driving regardless where it lands and gets away from his actions.

Mr. Scatterbrain

Voiced by: Joey J. D'Auria (English), Gilad Kleter (Hebrew)

• Catchphrase: "Where is my head?" and "Why didn't you say so?"
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He's very eccentric and always off in his own little world.
• Composite Character: He's a mixture of some of the nonsensical characters from the original series (Miss Scatterbrain, Mr. Silly, etc.)
• The Ditz: He rarely uses his head.
• Friend to All Living Things: He loves animals, and owns a lot of pets, which include monkeys, penguins, and even an elephant, which all appreciate his company.
• Funny Foreigner: In the UK dub. He's the only character with an American accent, and one of only two characters who has the same actor across both dubs.
• Gender Flip: He's a male version of Little Miss Scatterbrain from the books.
• Nice Guy: What he lacks in common sense, he makes up in heart. He's a goofball, but a total sweetheart.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: His voice and mannerisms are based after Ed Wynn.
• Spear Counterpart: To Miss Scatterbrain from the books.

Mr. Stubborn

Voiced by: Godfrey (US), Lewis MacLeod (UK)

• Always Someone Better: Played with. Mr. Fussy sort of beat him at his own game, but because both ended up switching objectives, Mr. Stubborn actually got what he originally wanted out of the stubborn-off.
• Arbitrary Skepticism: He doesn't believe on mythical creatures like ghosts and aliens, despite the fact he lives in a world where such things exist.
• Asshole Victim: It heavily depends on the 'aggressor' and 'victim' format to have a character trait overthrow another. Mr. Stubborn however is always both an 'aggressor' as his OWN 'victim'.
• Berserk Button: Try not to argue with him, it's not worth it.
• Big Ol' Unibrow: Type I.
• Blaming the Tools: Whenever Mr. Stubborn breaks something or uses it improperly, he will always insist that the item is cheap rather than admit any fault.
• Captain Oblivious: Anything he says or does, can and will be easily doubted and overlooked.
• Catchphrase: "This (x) is CHEAP!"
• Deadpan Snarker: Depends on what he's talking about and referring to, commenting on and pointing out, etc.
• Depending on the Writer: He has a catchphrase which he often uses to call something cheap which he uses in almost all of his appearances. It will always be along the lines of "This _____ is cheap!" and the name of the thing he's calling cheap will always change depending on what he's talking about. Likewise, he misuses items and after they break or if he breaks the things that he touches, he thinks that they're cheap and also even remarks that they are cheap.
• Determinator: Sometimes to the point of being Too Dumb to Live.
• Duck Season, Rabbit Season: Unintentionally with Mr. Fussy, he tried to sell him a car, which he didn't want, but then Mr. Stubborn decided that Mr. Fussy wasn't good enough for his car, suddenly Mr. Fussy wanted it, and ended up being one of the rare times Mr. Stubborn "lost" (he got what he originally wanted, though, so is it really a loss?)
• Entitled Bastard: He considers himself superior to one another, and among others.
• Evil Sounds Raspy: Judging from how he sounds, he speaks within a very thick and distinct raspy voice and gravelly accent, making it sound like some sort of tough guy who you would not want to mess with.
• Gender Flip: He's a male version of Little Miss Stubborn from the books.
• Hair-Trigger Temper:
  • He's inexplicably mean to most characters, has a short temper, can be very loud and quick to anger, and he gets very temperamental when people point out the obvious and how he's wrong.
  • Throughout the series, Mr. Stubborn would often be irritated by a few things he absolutely hates: listening to other people especially when they try to give him good advice, things that he breaks by touching them and calls them either cheap or fake, being told what to do by other people on his job, people correcting him, taking criticism and hearing complaints, etc.
• Hate Sink: He is perhaps the most loathsome and unpleasant character, mainly due to having a lot of negative and irredeemable personality traits.
• Hated by All: Because of his problems and troubles, he is well-disliked and incredibly feared among by many others around him.
• Hypocrite: He is always too stubborn to admit he was ever wrong. He often assumes others are wrong, even when it is obvious that he is wrong, even if he finds out he's wrong, he still doesn't admit it.
• Hypocritical Humor:
  • "Some people think they know everything!"
  • "You cannot admit that what you made was a mistake!"
• Ignorant of His Own Ignorance: He appears to be rather unaware of the acts he does and he is completely oblivious as to what he does wrong, as he tries to have plausible deniability for his own actions. Even then, he is contradictory.
• Implausible Deniability: No matter how obvious it is to everyone around him, he will swear up and down that nothing is wrong when it clearly is, even while face-to-face.
• Insufferable Imbecile: Noted for his low intelligence and his tendency to randomly disagree a lot.
• Irony: In life, when we are stubborn for the wrongest of reasons can cause us to miss out on the opportunity and harm those who cared for us. Being adamant may result in us losing everything. However, not in Mr. Stubborn's case, where rather, he is in constant battle with his belief of right and wrong to fuel his ego.
• It's All About Me: He believes himself to be a self-proclaimed omniscient all-powerful god of Dillydale, making all of the other characters his extremely lowly zero-ranking servants, which can even sometimes lead to him being responsible for mass destruction and the pain of others, which he also does not seem to mind or care, notice or realize.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He even goes so far as to being redeemable by winning a plush gopher for Little Miss Sunshine, though he is still a little mean (not too much, just enough).
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: His main occupation is being a stubborn person because he never admits whether he is wrong about everything and anything or not and thinks everyone else is wrong even though he is the one who is always wrong.
  • He is seldom nice to others, always despising and very brutal towards them, and (more often than not) has a crazy temper of damaging other people's property, at least most likely due to his rude comments, brusque manners, negative criticisms, false accusations, petty complaints, sarcastic rebukes, whatever.
• Jerkass: An obnoxious grump, an uncivilized moron, a smug jerk, and an insecure tyrant who blames his own faults on others.
• Jerkass Has a Point: Despite his relentlessly general stubbornness and having a completely irrational sense of narrow-mindedness and self-righteousness, and while that rarely proves otherwise, there are only a very few times where he (at least in his mind) is absolutely right about certain things, if possible and if necessary.
• Karma Houdini: Since he's aggressive, closed-minded, and unwilling to take defeat, advice, criticism, or even sympathy at a time, he never ever accepts his punishments and forgets them just in order to constantly harm and attack others.
• Know-Nothing Know-It-All: He is convinced he knows how to do a certain thing without following tutorials, advice, or even the law.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: Averted. He could be holding a handful of Uno cards and he still wouldn't fold.
• Lack of Empathy: Due to his anger issues and the unnecessary drama he causes, he is smitten with almost complete lack of empathy, incapacity of remorse, and zero regard for people's lives.
• Large Ham: He's very dramatic.
• Meaningful Name: It's in his name, he is extremely stubborn and almost if never, listens to good advice from anyone, to the point he comes off as one of the dumbest characters in the show. His stubborn attitude causes him to be rude and even reckless, sometimes endangering people's lives.
• Narcissist: Comes across as talking like and acting as if he is and yet might have mannerisms of one, whether he wants to admit it or not.
• Never My Fault: Nearly 100% of the time he either blames something or goes on a warpath with anyone who dare disagree with him. The closest he comes to admitting he's wrong is when he calls something cheap.
• NO INDOOR VOICE: Let it be known that Mr. Stubborn shouts a lot; almost as much as Mr. Noisy. Especially in the US version.
• Obliviously Evil: He's always unaware of the danger that lies ahead and he's always doing the wrong things, which largely comes from his total disregard for others, his pettiness, and occasional signs of malevolence.
• Perpetual Frowner: As the usual.
• Pet the Dog: See Jerk with a Heart of Gold from up above.
• Purple Is Powerful: He is one of the few strong Mr. Men that isn't Mr. Strong and is purple.
• Rightly Self-Righteous: Prompting his claim that he’s always right and never wrong; under false pretenses, he thinks he’s always telling the truth and never lying (even when it’s the other way around), from his entitlement to his dogmatism, though not technically, but still.
• Sadist: He never adapts to any kinds of change whatsoever. By doing this, he will constantly annoy and antagonize other people, blindly making them suffer his obnoxious behaviour and differences of opinion, whether just for fun or to get others to leave him alone.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: He thinks he is too good to actually follow them himself, despite some of the people and characters trying to tell him to do so, but he wouldn't listen and is unwilling to undo his wrongdoings whenever his frequent selfish desires put others (including those who tried to warn him) in trouble.
• Selective Obliviousness: His whole character revolves around this.
