'MR. RUDE!'
— The only line of the Angry Heads.
CCABAA9A-FE62-4A92-8375-6AF115F8E259

The Angry Heads is a running gag throughout the series. It is first used in the episode, Books. The running gag involves heads that shout out Mr. Rude's name when he says "I'll give you (something)" after he farts. The heads are Little Miss Helpful (without her fanny pack), Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Bump, Mr. Tickle, Mr. Happy (sometimes), Little Miss Scary, and Mr. Small, and there's normally a green background. The heads do not have outlines. They were mostly phased out in Season 2 in favour of individual characters saying the line.

Variants[]

There are several variants of the heads.

Normal Variants[]

  • A different coloured background.
  • Mr. Happy being present.
  • The heads moving.
  • Mr. Bump and Mr. Tickle's expressions changing to a sad and/or worried look when saying "rude". Same goes for Mr. Grumpy, but with a confused look.
    • This also applies to Mr. Small and Little Miss Helpful, only during the music video in Jobs. (where the heads don't speak)

Episodic variants[]

  • Hotel: They appear on a gray background with Mr. Happy. The voices are replaced with Mr. Happy and Miss Sunshine's voices in the US. The expression variant happens.
  • Canned Goods (the second time they appear): The heads don't move and their mouths don't change from an "O" shape at "Rude” and remain that way until it cuts back.
  • Travel: They appear on a beige background, are in the location with the Books/Inventions/Hotel variants except Mr. Small. The expression variant happens.

  • Jobs (In the music video of objects, but don't speak. this is also the only time they appear without Mr. Rude farting)

Trivia[]

  • Another difference between the expression variant and the moving heads variant is that the expression variant has the heads blinking while having some squash and stretch animation. The moving heads variant have the faces remaining static while only the mouths move.
  • In the UK dub, different voices are heard between Books, Inventions, and Canned Goods.
  • In the US dub of Sleep, you can closely hear the heads in the end scene after Mr. Rude farts.
  • Travel is the only season 2 episode to use the Angry Heads.
    • Sneezes and Hiccups, Telephone, and Dining Out are the only season 2 episode to use the Angry Heads' audio.
  • Jobs was the only episode where the Angry Heads didn't speak.
