Trivia[]
- He is one of the few characters who cares if Mr. Bump gets hurt.
- He only dislikes Mr. Rude because of his bad manners, and Mr. Snooty because of how mean he is to everyone.
- Interestingly enough, in almost all the adaptations he was in, Mr. Impossible has an American accent rather than a British one. The only exception was in the Mr. Men and Little Miss episode, "Mr. Funny Puts on a Show."
- Similarly, In the 1991 Christmas Special, his voice is a characterization of the late John Wayne.
- His favourite drink is Magic Juice.
