The character of Mr. Happy is perhaps the most simple looking, being merely a bright yellow circle with a wide smile, similar to the iconic smiley face. He is numbered as three, although was originally placed tenth. He is from Happyland.
Story
Mr. Happy in the books
Mr Happy has quite a simplistic story, as do most of the other characters. It involved him discovering Mr. Miserable (who looks exactly like him) and helping him become happy. Mr Miserable becomes very happy at the end of the story. Roger tells the reader to turn the sides up of your mouth at the end. He can be told apart from Mr. Bounce by Mr. Bounce's hat.

The Mr. Men Show
Mr. Happy in The Mr.men show
Mr. Happy in the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show looked exactly as he did in the books. His limbs are slightly smaller, he has a less circular body and occasionally, visible eyebrows. He co-hosts a morning show called "Good Morning Dillydale" with Little Miss Sunshine. His catchphrase is "Wonderful!". In the US version, he has a deepish voice, sounding like a stereotyped game-show host. In the US version, he is voiced by Sam Gold. In the UK version, he is voiced by Simon Greenall in season 1, and Rob Rackstraw in season 2.
Trivia
- First Appearance: Physical (Speaking)
- He is shrunk down to size by Mr. Metal in Robots.
- He lives next door to Mr. Grumpy.
- He seems to care that Mr Rude is acting rude and has bad manners in Up and Down, Airport, Travels, Pirates, and Washing and Drying, but doesn't care in Clean Teeth.
- He may have a crush on Little Miss Sunshine.
- He has been seen with all the characters (except Little Miss Helpful, Mr. Bounce, Little Miss Naughty, Mr. Funny and Mr. Tall who haven't been seen with him so far).
- He almost got puked in Boats, whoa, that's dramatic!
- Although he wants other people to be Happy and in the books, he was nearly always happy, in the Mr. Men show, he tends to hide his other emotions(sadness, fear, anger, etc,)behind his grin.
- He likes music, partically Polka as seen in "Boats" and "Radio".
- He loves animals as shown in "Reptiles" and "Pets"(although he seems to have trouble with monkeys as shown in "Hobbies" and "Hotel").
- He is one of the 12 characters with no visible nose
- Interestingly, although he said to "love" beans in "Canned Goods" and ordered a bean burger in "Food"(though we never really 'saw' him eat the bean burger), according to the "Mr. Men A Christmas Carol" Book, he doesn't even like beans. So either his taste buds changed or he lied about liking beans to keep others happy.
- Although, he is said to be one of the "Happiest people in the world", he's also strangely and ironically one of the Mr./Misses most prone to depression as shown in books like "Mr. Nobody" and "Little Miss Magic" and in the 90's TV series "The Mr. Men and Little Miss" episode "A Very Happy Day for Mr. Happy". where he was depressed for days,(though those reasons above were because other people were unhappy)but in the book "Mr. Men A Christmas Carol", he was clinically depressed for a whole year!
- It's strange how in 90's TV series "The Mr. Men and Little Miss" Episode, "A Very Happy Day for Mr. Happy", his friends were worried for him when he was sad for days and helped cheered him up and gave him love when in contrast of the book "Mr. Men A Christmas Carol", when he was sad, nearly nobody, none of his friends bothered to help him feel better and instead renamed him "Mr. Sad" and left him to be clinically depressed even after a year! This book was strangely made shortly after "The Mr. Men Show" came on air. So odds are like how most people don't care if Mr. Bump gets hurt, most people these days wouldn't care how Mr. Happy feels inside. He's Darned if he hides his true feelings and he's Darned even if he shows them......Poor Mr. Happy.
- Counterparts: Pinky and Perky (Pinky and Perky, both own a show), Happy (Snow White, both are happy), Finlay the Fox cub (Timmy Time, both are happy), Pacman (both are round and are yellow), Greg and Sam (The Wiggles, all three are yellow and very happy), Mickey Mouse (Disney, both are mascots and they're very happy), Jimmy Two Shoes (both are kind), Chris McClean (Total Drama series, both are hosts), Zordon (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, both are wise), Mario (Nintendo, both are mascots), Molly (Thomas & Friends) Both are yellow and happy).
- It is possible that Miss Sunshine,(as hinted in "Boat" and "Canned Goods")and Mr. Quiet(as shown in "Pests) are few of the only people in "The Men Show" who knows that Mr. Happy hides his other feelings behind a grin. Miss Naughty may know too.(Why would she bother to make trouble for him in "Pests" if otherwise?) It's not clear in "Garages" if Mr. Bump knows or just subconsciously.
- Strangely, after his interaction with Mr. Bump in "Garages", Mr. Happy ended up having some accidents himself in the next few episodes. "Eyeglasses", "Reptiles" and "Hats".(Mr. Bump really must've rubbed off on him.)
- He teamed up with Mr. Bump and Mr. Quiet in "Pirates"...and things went their way!
- He's one of the few Mr./Misses featured in the two "Mr. Men Show" cosplay mallshows in Singapore.
- He had the Same 'Broken Smile' and running pose in "Gifts" as he did in "Boats" when he(along with alot Mr./Misses) ran for his life in the Ship.
- An outtake in "Hobbies" was when one of Miss Naughty's monkey's threw up on Mr. Happy(while Mr. Happy still forced a smile) which was changed to the monkey just throwing a banana peel at him(though the outtake can still be seen on Youtube).
- On the Cartoon Network Website, it was stated that alot of people find Mr. Happy's "constant glee" upsetting and annoying.
- His feet are small.
