Interactive Narrator: In the 1983 adaptation of Little Miss Plump, she briefly interacts with the narrator by telling him it's easy to say "Sixty six succulent sizzling sausages". Intermission: The early 1980s VHS release for the Mr. Men Volumes had an intermission. The narrator is heard humming the show's theme song while wondering which Mr. Men is up next. Characterizing Sitting Pose: Mr. Clumsy always sits "in a not-so-neat and tidy fashion" (depicted with one leg over the arm of the chair). Little Miss Chatterbox is the 16th book in the Little Miss series. Little Miss Chatterbox talks a lot, just like her brother, Mr. Chatterbox. Miss Chatterbox gets fired every time she works at a job. Miss Chatterbox then gets a job as a telephone worker who tells the time every second.

Our Humans Are Different: Despite the fact they're talking shapes with arms and legs that live among human beings, Mr. Men and Little Misses are human beings themselves. Justified, as they're meant to be abstractions of human beings any reader of their stories can imprint themselves onto. Fashion Dissonance: The human characters (especially workers) are often seen in clothes reflecting the 1970s. Teachers of young children wear mortar boards; a bank manager (drenched in ink by Mr Clumsy) wears old-fashioned clothes; park-keepers, postmen and shop staff wear smart uniforms. Giant Spider: Dr. Eleventh and River Song have to flee one of these (for the second time that day!) as part of their quest.

Forgetful Jones: Mr. Forgetful has an absolutely terrible memory. When asked to tell Farmer Fields that one of his sheep is loose in the lane, he draws a blank when he actually encounters the farmer and instead tells him that a goose is asleep in the rain - which means nothing to Farmer Fields, as he doesn't keep geese and it isn't raining. Mr. Strong has a huge appetite, but only for one food - eggs, the source of his incredible physical strength. Mr. Bump cannot do anything without something getting lost or damaged. He smashes three windows of his house with a ladder when trying to repair his chimney pot before it falls off, and he cannot hold down a steady job because of his accident-prone nature. Living Polyhedron: The Mr. Men and Little Misses are almost all shaped like circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, or triangles with arms, legs, and faces. Floorboard Failure: Mr Bounce goes to bed wearing the heavy boots prescribed by Doctor Makeyouwell. And what happened when he got out of bed the following morning? He went straight through the bedroom floorboards, and finished up in the kitchen!Voice Actresses: Pauline Collins (1983), Jill Shilling ( Mr. Men and Little Miss), Catherine Disher (US dub) 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. Applicability of cancellation rights: Legal rights of cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations available for UK or EU consumers do not apply to certain products and services. Halfway Plot Switch: Dr. Eighth starts with him rescuing the human crew of a spaceship about to self-destruct, after failing to talk its computer into not blowing it up. He lands the TARDIS on an Earth beach to let them out, whereupon he stumbles into a conflict between the Silurians and Sea Devils that takes up the remainder of the book. To be fair, Dr. Eighth has only two televised stories, one of which is a short, so the author had to come up with a near-wholecloth storyline for him.

Restraining Bolt: Some of the negative trait Mr. Men and Little Miss characters get magical versions of these to stop their bad behavior. Road Trip Plot: The 2018 book Mr. Men: Road Trip has the Mr. Men and Little Miss characters taking a bus across the United States to visit various landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, New Orleans, Yosemite National Park and more. 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. Mistaken for Fake Hair: In "Little Miss Fabulous", Little Miss Splendid spreads a rumor that the eponymous Little Miss Fabulous is wearing a blonde wig. Little Miss Trouble tests this out by tugging on Little Miss Fabulous's hair (to the latter's chagrin), and finds out it's not fake. Little Miss Whoops, Mr. Bump's sister, is just as hapless as he is; she, too, is always wrapped in bandages from previous accidents.
