Product Information

Rhymes on a Dime: When using her magic in both the 1995 TV series and 2008 Mr. Men Show, Little Miss Magic often uses long rhyming incantations as she does so. Go-Karting with Bowser: Despite her tendency to play pranks on the other Mr. Men and Little Misses, she is occasionally shown taking part in special occassions or going on holidays with them.

Mr 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!Mr. Funny lived inside a large teapot. So he decided to go out for a funny drive. While he was driving along the road, a Large Pig laughed to see his car (shaped like a shoe) and a worm laughed as well. Eventually Mr. Funny came to some signposts. One of them says "This way to the zoo." Unfortunately, all the animals at the zoo have colds. He ends up cheering up the zoo animals with his jokes and humour before driving home again. No one has a sense of humour like Mr. Funny. In the UK version, Mr. Muddle and Walter the Worm are voiced by a male, but in the US dub, they're each voiced by female actors instead. Mr Dizzy is not smart, not in the slightest which is not suitable for Mr Dizzy as he lives in Cleveland where everyone is very smart. After being taken advantage of by a pig and an elephant, Mr Dizzy drinks from a wishing ell and seeks revenge. Mr Impossible Mug Mr. Lazy is the 17th book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves. Mr. Lazy is lazy, he lives in Sleepyland, where there are only four hours a day, as opposed to 24, and it takes two regular hours for water to boil and three regular hours for bread to toast. One day, Mr. Lazy sits down for a nap and is awoken by Mr. Busy and Mr. Bustle. They overwork him, until Mr. Bustle blows a whistle, requiring Mr. Lazy to run as fast as he can. Mr. Lazy runs, but his legs don't get him anywhere because he is sitting on a chair in the garden. He wakes up, realising it was all a dream, and the whistle was the kettle boiling in the kitchen. He sits down to have breakfast, and he goes to sleep yet again only for the events in the dream to really happen. Unwanted Assistance: Little Miss Helpful has a tendency to make things worse when she tries to help people.

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.Vague Age: 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. In the 90s series episode "Mr. Skinny's Incredible Bet", she isn't caught for causing a fight between Mr. Skinny and Mr. Greedy. 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? Non-Indicative Name: 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.

Oddball in the Series: The only "negative" Mr. Man who ends his story learning nothing and not changing for the better in any way.

As a result, he remains just as a muddled as he's always been, if not more. He is now a character in The Mr. Men Show, during its second season. He almost looks the same, but his flower and gloves are absent and has a white and red polka-dotted bow tie, his hat is also bent and he has Mr. Rude's nose, only it's red. In the show, Mr. Funny never spoke, and all of his sketches are done in mime and he acts like a clown, his only noises being the sounds of horns and whistles, similar to comedian Harpo Marx.
