About him[]

Story[]

Mr

Mr. Funny in the books

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 and a worm laughed as well. Eventually Mr. Funny came to some sign posts. 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 humor before driving home again. No one has a sense of humor like Mr. Funny.

The Mr. Men Show[]

Funny

Mr. Funny in the Mr. Men Show

Mr. Funny appears in Season 2 of The Mr. Men Show. He almost looks the same, but is a darker green and wears a bow tie. His hat is bent at the top, is a darker yellow and floats. His gloves and the daisy attached to his hat are gone. His nose is like Mr. Rude's, with the lines added to the bottom. The skits he is in are usually silent comedy sketches, similar to that of a mime and a clown. He is the only one to instead use sound language, in this case being honks or his horn, similar to comedian Harpo Marx. Sometimes he is annoying to Mr. Grumpy. He is first seen in Picnics.

Trivia[]

  • Amusement ride manufacturer Jolly Roger Ltd. created a Mr. Funny kids' ride in 1995. The ride features Mr. Funny in his shoe car as it rocks back and forth to "He's so Funny" (Mr. Funny's theme). There were two versions of this ride, one had a longer audio loop and different sound-box.
  • His voice in the American dub of Mr. Men and Little Miss is very similar to Grover from Sesame Street. Neil Crone also used a similar sounding voice for Mr. Messy.
  • Moral: Laughter is the best medicine.

The Mr. Men Show trivia[]

  • First appearance: Picnics (US version only)
  • "Picnics", "Airports", "Sun & Moon", and "Sand & Surf" had silent segments where Mr. Funny is the star with the lack of other characters besides Little Miss Giggles in "Picnics". "Machines" had one that had opening and closing dialogue by Mr. Grumpy. Each silent segment is accompanied a rendition of the whistling theme from "Yard Work". The music is also used in Mishaps and Mayhem.
  • Unlike other characters who wear sneakers, his shoes are dark red and they are slightly larger than the other characters' sneakers because he is actually a clown.
  • Mr. Funny's lack of speech in The Mr. Men Show is due to writer Kate Boutilier thinking he'd clash with Mr. Scatterbrain had he spoke traditional dialogue. His horn honking is inspired by comedian Harpo Marx.[1]
  • Despite being mute, he was shown shouting "surprise!" with all the other characters in "Surprises".
  • He along with Mr. Tall, Little Miss Bossy, and Little Miss Curious were never in the series' opening sequence nor the official website.
  • He is one of the three characters in the series to wear some sort of tie, the others being Mr. Nosey and Mr. Fussy.
  • The back of Mr. Funny's design was leaked a month prior to the second season's premiere on Dagan Moriarty's animation reel on YouTube.
