Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!: The characters who appear to be simple shapes with human figures regularly interact with regular-looking humans. Mr. Jelly is the 15th book in the Mr. Men series. Mr. Jelly is afraid of everything, such as the snapping of a twig. He often hides under the covers. One day, he finds a tramp sleeping in the woods, whom he is afraid of until the vagabond teaches him to count to ten whenever he feels nervous. This makes Mr. Jelly a calm fellow and he rarely hides under the covers now.

In the book Mr. Bump Loses His Memory, he falls out of his bedroom window and bumps his head, promptly causing him to get amnesia. He is told by Mr. Muddle that his name is, in fact, Mr. Careful, thus encouraging our confused Mr. Bump to try several jobs for which great care is needed, such as carrying eggs and delivering milk in glass bottles. His memory is restored when he walks into a tree, causing him to fall into a river. Mr. Rude often insults people for their flaws and whenever he goes in his car, he yells insults at people he passes and when he upsets Miss Tiny, Mr. Happy decides to teach him the hard way to be nicer to people. Mr. Strong likes eggs. For supper, he has an egg, followed by another egg, followed by an egg or two. And for pudding, Do you really want to know what happened? he has... ice cream! Ha ha! A competition was held in the British Sunday Times newspaper for children to submit their own Mr. Men character for inclusion in a limited edition celebrating the 30th anniversary of the series. Mr. Cheeky was selected as the winning entry, submitted by then-eight-year-old Gemma Almond. Her creation led to a book featuring her character being published; it was sold only in W H Smith branches, with a portion of the proceeds going to a charity, supporting children with leukemia. Mr. Nonsense, as befits his name, has a truly nonsensical way of looking at the world. He sleeps in a rowboat (he found a motorboat too uncomfortable) and eats oatmeal on toast for breakfast (he tried oatmeal sandwiches once but didn't like them).Egypt Is Still Ancient: Played straight in Mr. Men Adventure in Egypt. Little Miss Splendid takes some Mr. Men and Little Misses with her to Egypt; they ride down the Nile River on an Egyptian style boat, visit the Sphinx and even get lost in a pyramid with mummies and treasure. Mr. Nosey is a loveable lump who innocently pokes his nose into other people's business in the nicest way possible, and his BFF (best friend forever) is Mr. Small.

Mr. Muddle 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. The stories are set in a fictional universe called "Misterland", which is inhabited by the Mr. Men and Little Misses themselves, as well as some ordinary human characters such as shopkeepers, doctors and postmen. There are also various animals; Walter the Worm is the main animal who appears frequently. [12] The characters are human in their behaviours and attributes. Mr. Bump is the most accident-prone man in Dillydale, who buys bandages in bulk and is an emergency room regular, and lives next door to his sister, Little Miss Whoops. Both Mr Impossible's Lesson and Little Miss Shy And The Fairy Godmother involve Little Miss Shy being put through a gratuitous act of cruelty from one of the meaner characters (Mr. Snooty in the former, and Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty in the latter) and getting help via magical means. The key difference is that in the former, Mr. Snooty shows some honor at the end and thanks her along with Mr. Bump and Mr. Clumsy for preventing his house from burning down while in the latter, Little Miss Bossy and Little Miss Naughty receive little, if any repercussions for bullying Little Miss Shy for blushing.

When Mr. Mischief seizes a sleeping wizard's wand in "Mr. Mischief", the wizard seizes Mr. Mischief's nose, who replies "Led go ob my node!" Limited Special Ultimate Collector's Edition: Dr. Thirteenth arrived to coincide with the debut of her television counterpart, and thus was initially published as a larger-sized "Limited Edition" hardcover with gold foil detailing on a teal cover (it also had the actual Doctor Who logo on the front, another change from the others). While Christmas Surprise! was also a hardcover, it was otherwise a standard-format book. Mr. Mean is renamed Mr. Stingy in North American editions to clarify that he is mean with his money rather than mean to other people (though he has moments of the latter as well). In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Grumpy kept his blue colour, big blue nose and rectangle body, but now has an unibrow and has lines on the bottom of his nose and it's now a darker shade of blue. His top hat was replaced by a tall fedora that floats above his head, but retains its green colour with a jungle-green band around it.

Voice Actors: Arthur Lowe (1975-1978), Gordon Peters ( Mr. Men and Little Miss), Len Carlson (US dub), Sam Gold (The Mr. Men Show; US version), Simon Greenall (The Mr. Men Show; UK dub), Pierre-Francois Pistorio (The Mr. Men Show; French dub), Effron Etkin ( Mr. Men and Little Miss; Hebrew dub), Itzik Sydoff ( Mr. Men and Little Miss; Hebrew dub, Golly, Mr. Grumpy's Smiling)

He answers questions right as seen in Music (though in the UK version, he got his bonus wrong while in the US, he remarked about Miss Sunshine's playing the piano).

Insane Troll Logic: Mr. Nonsense does this a lot, naturally. When asked why he likes oatmeal on toast, he replies, "Because I tried oatmeal sandwiches and I didn't like them!" When asked why he sleeps in a rowboat, he replies, "Because I tried sleeping in a motorboat but it was too uncomfortable!" Pierre-Francois Pistorio- Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Quiet, Mr. Noisy, Mr. Small, Mr. Nervous, Mr. Strong, Mr. Tall

It's also possible they considered adding Mr. Chatterbox, Mr. Slow and Mr. Daydream, considering Renegade Animation owned their books. [7] She's sporty, fearless and often a menace to the safety of Dillydale. When Miss Daredevil takes a risk, she rarely does it without dragging her friends along with her. In 2017, an unusual Spinoff launched: a series of books plus a line of tie-in merchandise adapting characters from the beloved Science Fiction show Doctor Who into these books' art style and story format. Each book features one of the Doctor's many incarnations (specifically the ones numbered One through Thirteen) with the titling convention of Dr. First, Dr. Second, and so on. Tropes featured in this spinoff have their own listing below. Mr. Tall appears under the titles Monsieur Grand (French), Don Alto (Spanish), Unser Herr Riesig (German), Meneertje Lang (Dutch), Fætter Høj (Danish), Ο Κύριος Ψηλός (Greek), Pan Tyka (Polish), 長腿先生 (Taiwan), 키다리씨 (Korean), Herra Hár (Icelandic), and Senhor Alto (Portuguese).
