Revision as of 16:20, 22 July 2011
Mr. Lazy is the seventeenth book in the Mr. Men series by Roger Hargreaves.
Story
Mr. Lazy is lazy, he lives in Sleepyland, where there are only four hours a day, as opposed to 24, and it takes two regular hours for water to boil and three regular hours for bread to toast. One day, Mr. Lazy sits down for a nap, and is awoken by Mr. Busy and Mr. Bustle. They overwork him, until Mr. Bustle blows a whistle, requiring Mr. Lazy to run as fast as he can. Mr. Lazy runs, but his legs don't get him anywhere because he is sitting on a chair in the garden. He wakes up to realize it was all a dream, and the whistle was the kettle boiling in the kitchen. He sits down to have breakfast, and the dream really happens.
The Mr. Men Show
In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show, he is more "lazy" rather than "sleepy" as he was in the books and hates work. His color is changed from pink to green, his shape changes into a more angular, slouched over shape and his hat changes into a red (also appears pink) newsboy-style cap that covers his eyes (which are briefly shown in Pirates). He also wears socks and flip flops. He lives in a camper-style trailer, with the garbage cans and mailbox overfilled with trash and mail, respectively. In the US and UK Versions, he is voiced by Phil Lollar and Tim Whitnall.
Trivia
- First Appearance: Physical
- In the book, Mr Busy is pictured as a short Human, rather than a Mr Men?
- The only time his ears showed up was in Boats, he put fishes in them to block out Mr. Scatterbrain's singing..
- He is one of the four green characters. In the books, he is one of the ten pink characters.
- He was seen once without his socks/flip flops in Boats.
- Unlike other characters, he has a neck.
- He's one of the many characters who don't care if Mr. Bump gets hurt, but he did seem to care in Fruits.
- He didn't care that Mr. Rude is acting rude and has bad manners, but seems to care that Mr. Rude is acting rude in Games.
- He was shown with Mr. Bump in Lunch.
- He has been seen with all characters (except Miss Sunshine, Mr. Bounce, Miss Naughty, Miss Scary, Mr. Nervous, Mr. Funny, Miss Bossy, Miss Magic, Miss Giggles, Miss Curious and Mr. Tall who haven't been seen with him so far)
- Out of the seven deadly sins, Mr Lazy represents Sloth.
- In Sneezes and Hiccups, he was in the building, but when the lights blew, he couldn't be seen. The rest were highlighted by their eyes, but because his eyes are covered, you can't see him, and after mr. Stubborn knocked the building, Mr. Lazy was gone.
- He is the only one on the 2008 show without visible eyes (just like Mr. Silly, Mr. Nonsense, Little Miss Scatterbrain, Little Miss Selfish (who speaks French) and Mr. No (who speaks French), yet he seems to have perfect sight.
- He is the only character who looks exceptionally different to the other Mr. Men and Little Misses.
- Although he speaks in a monotone voice, his voice sound a bit Southern
