'''''The Mr. Men Show''''' is
▲''The Mr. Men Show'' is an animated television series adapted from the original Mr. Men animated shows of the [[The Seventies|1970s]], [[The Eighties|1980s]] and [[The Nineties|1990s]], which were based on Roger Hargreaves' book series, ''[[Mr. Men]]'' and ''Little Misses''. ''The Mr. Men Show'', however, differs from the older versions in that it takes a sketch comedy approach to the characters. Each episode features short comedy sketches, dance numbers and music videos.
''The Mr. Men Show'' is produced in Glendale, California, by Renegade Animation. The series is directed by Mark Risley; executive producers are Eyrk Casemiro and Kate Boutilier.
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
Each episode is made up of two 11-minute shorts. There have been two seasons, each with 26 episodes.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Mr. Quiet was brown in the original books; in the series, he is pale blue.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: According to the play seen in "Dillydale Day", the city of Dillydale was founded by Viking settlers who enacted a sort of Thanksgiving with the local ''caveman'' population. Also, this ''city'' was ruled by a Marie Antoinette-esque queen at some point, who was deposed in a revolution.
* [[Big Ol' Unibrow]]: Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Stubborn are Type I. They are two of the more negative personality characters, and the only two to have unibrows.
Line 21 ⟶ 19:
* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]] - Mr. Fussy and Mr. Funny.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]- Mr. Lazy would rather build a fully-functioning machine to do his work than do the work himself.
* [[Broken Smile]]- Mr. Happy gets that more then once. C'mon, you didn't think he was REALLY happy when he was running for his life (like everyone else) in the ship from "Boats" did'ja?
* [[Butt Monkey]]- Mr. Bump, Miss Calamity, Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Quiet and Mr Fussy (Mr Persnickety in the 1st season)
* [[Catch Phrase]] - Everyone has one.
** "Crooked cucumbers!" One time [[Mondegreen|it sounded more like something cucumbers]].
** ''''"I CAN'T HEAR YOU! NEXT PLEASE!"'''' But Mr. Noisy often tells others to be quiet.
*** The one he uses the most is "its SUPER!".
** "Yo, [insert a Mr Men or Little Miss name here]" and "Aw pickles" and also "[[Does Not Know His Own Strength|Aw pickles, I hardly touchd it.]]" for Mr. Strong.
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Little Miss Calamity, and to a lesser extent, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l52dxKQFDzk Mr. Noisy].
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]- Mr. Scatterbrain
* [[Continuity Nod]] - In a episode called "Bad Weather", when Mr. Strong is going to fix Mr. Fussy's leaky ceiling, Mr. Fussy mentions about the last time that happened when Mr. Strong tried to fix it, which happened during a Season 1 episode.
** And what did ya know? Mr. Strong does the same exact as before!
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]- Mr. Grumpy and Mr Rude. Come on, if they were faster than [[Top Cat And The Beverly Hills Cats]], they'd be an alternate title.
Line 47 ⟶ 45:
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]?: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjyCLX7l84M You wanna get that milk? You gotta tickle it out!]
* [[Dressed to Heal]]- As part of its sketch comedy nature, any time the characters are portrayed as doctors, they'll have the the headband with mirror and stethoscope.
* [[Drop
* [[Dropped Glasses]]: In one part of the episode "Eyeglasses," Miss Whoops, as a stewardess, accidentally loses her glasses when a pile of carry-on luggage falls on her. She attempts to carry on with her duties regardless, but since she's [[Blind Without'Em]], the [[Hilarity Ensues|usual ensues]]. At one point, Mr. Nervous gives her his own glasses, telling her she needs them more than he does. This doesn't help any, since they have different prescriptions.
* [[Embarrassing Slide]]: In one sketch from the episode "Eyeglasses," Mr. Stubborn (as an eye doctor) is showing slides of various objects to test Mr. Happy's eyesight. After a few mundane images, the slides suddenly show [[Embarrassing Old Photo|Embarrassing Old Photos]] of him.
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]- Miss Sunshine with red ribbons for her braids, Miss Giggles with yellow bows for her pigtails, Miss Curious with a blue bow for her ponytail, Miss Helpful(2008 version)with green bows for her pigtails, Miss Naughty with a green bow on her head, and Miss Whoops(2008 version)with a pink bow on her head.
* [[Foot Focus]] - Mr. Messy. He was barefoot in TWO actual episodes. How weird is that?
* [[Face Palm]] - Mr. Bump, Mr. Quiet, and Mr. Grumpy did this a couple times in the series run.
Line 64 ⟶ 62:
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]- Miss Sunshine, Miss Giggles, Miss Naughty(2008 version) and Miss Helpful(2008 version).
* [[Great Gazoo]]- Miss Magic
* [[Grumpy Bear]]- Mr Grumpy. Come on, if it wasn't for that bad-tempered Care Bear, he'd be the trope's name. He also seems to be the only character in Dillydale with a brain...in his opinion, anyway.
* [[He Who Must Not Be Heard]] - Mr. Funny since he's inspired by Harpo Marx of the [[Marx Brothers]].
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]- Mr Small and Mr Nosy.
Line 80 ⟶ 78:
* [[Minimalist Cast]]
* [[Mister Descriptor]]
* [[Motor Mouth]] - Miss Chatterbox.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]] - Miss Scary.
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Little Miss Scary.
* [[No Indoor Voice]] - Mr Noisy.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Mr. Grumpy's memoirs apparently make for riveting reading, according to Mr. Small.
* [[Odango]] - Miss Chatterbox wear buns in her hair, So did Miss Helpful in the book version.
* [[Odd Couple]]: Mr. Fussy and Mr. Messy. Miss Daredevil and Mr. Quiet. Mr. Rude and Miss Chatterbox too.
* [[Only Sane Man]]- Mr Grumpy, Mr Quiet and Mr Fussy (Mr Persnickety in the 1st season)
Line 92 ⟶ 90:
*** But then it wouldn't be ''only'' sane man.
* [[The Pig Pen]] - Mr Messy
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Mr Nosy and Mr Small.
* [[Put on a Bus]]- Miss Calamity in Season 2
** Probably due to fear of criticism by feminists over a female [[Butt Monkey]].
** According to [[Word of God|the director]], she was [[Put on a Bus]] because Chorion wanted the show to focus more on the actual book characters (although Miss Daredevil is still around...)
*** Wouldn't it be [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]? After all, she was never mentioned in Season2, was removed from the theme song and credits, and her disappearance was never explained in-universe. The only reference to her that was made in season 2 was a statue of her in "Trees" but nobody mentioned about it being Miss Calamity and was probably done as a gag.
** Mr. Noisy got turned into a whale by Little Miss Magic and we don't see him again, even in the bumpers, musical numbers, his own songs, but for some reason, he made a speaking appearance in Bad Weather, and that is the first appearance of Mr. Noisy after he was [[Put on a Bus]].
Line 103 ⟶ 101:
* [[Stepford Smiler]] - Mr. Happy (Type A)
** You kidding? He's a type C for sure. You just wait...
* [[Stock Footage]]- Done on some scenes.
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]- Mr. Grumpy and Mr Rude
* [[Talking to Himself]]- Quite a th Miss Whoops,(related or not)....or Mr. Strong....or Mr. Tickle...or Miss Helpful....and he's just ONE example in the show, for this trope.
Line 113 ⟶ 111:
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]
* [[Top-Heavy Guy]]- Mr. Strong, in the 2008 TV series.
** However, since some people are amused by how Mr. Bump gets repeatedly harmed, you could describe him as [[The Chew Toy]].
* [[Those Two Guys]] - Mr. Small and Mr. Nosy often hang out together.
* [[Vague Age]]: Though Misters Grumpy, Stubborn and Fussy seem a bit older than the others.
* [[Walking Techbane]]: Miss Calamity, whenever she uses any form of machinery it takes a life of its own and starts attacking her.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]] - In different sketches, various characters will have different jobs. The episode "Jobs" reveals that this is actually a way of life in Dillydale, as everyone gets a new job on Tuesday that lasts for a week.
** It would seem necessary for them to keep changing jobs - if a certain Mr. Men or Little Miss stayed in one job all the time (such as Mr. Scatterbrain or Little Miss Whops), they would run the business to the ground or cause lots of destruction with it.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: Miss Chatterbox gets these in "Dance".
* [[World's Strongest Man]]: Mr. Strong, obviously.
