Story
Mr. Grumpy is the grumpiest person in the world. He's always in a bad mood, hating anyone or anything he comes across. He can't stand books so he tears out all of the pages from it (so it's a waste of money to buy them) and pulls up any flowers growing in his garden. and he is even rude to Mr. Happy who comes to visit - he stepped on his foot and slammed the door behind the visitor. Mr. Happy tells Mr. Tickle to tickle Mr. Grumpy if he is mean to somebody, it happened while he is doing his grocery shopping. After a long day of being tickled and dropping groceries, he learnt his lesson and was no longer grumpy. When he picks up a book, he only tears out one page.
The Mr. Men Show
In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show (and the original show of the same name before it), Mr. Grumpy kept his blue color, big blue nose and rectangle body, but now has an unibrow and has lines on the bottom of his nose and it's now a darker shade of blue. His top hat was replaced by a crooked hat that floats above his head, but retains its green color with an jungle-green band around it. He looks much more mature.
Despite his grumpy attitude, he is relatively polite and civil to anyone he talks to, easy-going, easy to please and grateful if stuff is done well, unlike his book incarnation. His grumpiness vanishes, however, when his ticklishness is exploited. He is a frequent victim of Mr. Tickle and is quite bitter about it, going so far as to invent the Tickle Protector to ward him off. He was given a catchphrase: "Crooked cucumbers!" According to what he said in the episode Farms, he was raised in the country. In the episode Dance, he was writing his life story, which he sold in Books. He lives next door to Mr. Happy in a house with various signs in front of it to keep guests away and a vegetable garden with a peach orchard in his backyard, which Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops ruined. He is voiced by Sam Gold in the US version and Simon Greenall in the UK dub. He is first seen in Physical.
Trivia
- He is good friends with Mr. Grumble, as they are like-minded people. (Though Mr. Grumble thinks he is a bit TOO grumpy)
- He has brown hair in Mr. Moustache.
- He, along with Mr. Uppity, tried to make Mr. Perfect unhappy in One Day In The Life of Mr. Perfect.
- His book is the first time another Mr. Men character appears outside of their introductory stories (in this case, it is Mr. Tickle and Mr. Happy).
The Mr. Men Show trivia
- He lives next door to Mr. Happy in the Mr. Men Show.
- His conflict with Mr. Stubborn appears to be worse than his other conflicts.
- He answers questions right as seen in Music (though in the UK version, he got his bonus wrong while in the US, he remarked about Miss Sunshine's playing the piano).
- His favorite pastime is fishing and watching fishing-related shows.
- His favorite food is liverwurst, as mentioned in Beach, Construction, Picnics and Pests.
- He is one of the 2 characters to have worn a towel, the other Mr. Quiet.
- He sometimes calls characters without saying Mr. or Miss when he is cross or fed up with them, mostly this happens with Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Scatterbrain. This also happens with Mr. Bump in Fish, Mr. Bounce in Travel, Miss Whoops in Dance Dance Dance and Home Improvement, Mr. Nervous in Toys, plus Mr. Noisy in Getting Around and also Mr. Rude in Supermarket and Post Office, as well as Miss Magic in Skyscrapers, and Mr. Quiet in Pirates, and Mr. Funny in machines, and Mr. Happy in Next Door, and also Mr. Strong in Parks, and even Miss Scary in Bad Weather. This has yet to happen to Mr. Tickle and Miss Chatterbox.
- He is a picky eater, but not as picky as Mr. Stubborn (mentioned in Lunch)
- He seems to be a fan favorite across the Mr. Men Show fandom.
