Story

Little Miss Whoops front cover

Little Miss Whoops goes and visits her brother, Mr. Bump. Unfortunately, disaster happens during her visit.

The Mr. Men Show

Little Miss Whoops in the Mr. Men Show

Miss Whoops causes accidents for others to suffer the consequences, mainly Mr. Bump. Her catchphrases are "I'm a trained professional" and "Whoops!". In the US broadcast she has a monotone New Jersey accent (Alicyn Packard) and in the UK she has a South Welsh accent (Teresa Gallagher).

Appearance wise, she kept her pink nose, but her hair is no longer visible, and a pair of glasses and a pink bow replace her bandages. Her body has a shape similar to Mr. Stubborn's and she is a lighter shade of blue.

While Bump's profile states Whoops is his sister, nothing in the show alludes to it. They do not refer to each other as such and they aren't shown in any unique interaction that would imply such. As the profiles of the Mr. Men Show are all very "off" from from the show contains, one can take this claim with a grain of salt.

Trivia

• A plaster on her arm only appears in the artwork of Little Miss Whoops and the first episode when she acts out her artwork pose, she doesn't have it. However, the episode Rainy Day has a bubble floating with her artwork pose without the plaster.
• A running gag in the series is that she has worked multiple jobs and ends up causing accidents.
  • She can't drive anything properly (due to her accidents) in Snow (snowplough), Paint (street painting machine), Farm (tractor), Driving (a regular car)
  • She sometimes break rules. For example: In the episode called Cinema, she ate the hot dog when she is supposed to be serving it to customers.
• Sometimes she even gets hurt like Mr. Bump when Miss Helpful is with her.
• She is only seen angry at theatres (Sleep, Telephone, Cinema).
• She lives next door to Mr. Bump.
• Her shortsightedness may be severe as her eyes appear magnified, unlike Mr. Nervous, when she has her glasses on. When she wore his glasses, it usually fails because they have different prescriptions.
• She sings The Eyeglasses Rap with Mr. Fussy and Mr. Nervous, the ony other two characters with glasses. Mr. Nosey joins in solidarity.
  • She only sings as a backup singer in Dillydale Dancefloor which is hard to hear (Due to Miss Sunshine's and Mr. Bump's voices blocking it). Even for the song Junk Mail, but her voice was heard clearly.
• Together with Little Miss Bossy, they are the only Little Misses in the Mr. Men Show cast without visible hair. In Sand & Surf, she was seen once with dark blue hair and she also was seen once with it in a ponytail.
