Mr. Mischief is caught at his own game is the 7th episode of the first season of Mr. Men and Little Miss. It was first broadcast on 17 November 1995.
Plot[]
Mr. Mischief always plays tricks on everyone. He also plans to send parcels as mischief, an alarm clock that doesn't stop ringing for Mr. Lazy, a handkerchief for Mr. Sneeze, and nothing but parcels with nothing inside them for Mr. Nosey. Mr. Stamp arrives and Mr. Mischief gives him the parcels. Mr. Stamp is relieved that Mr. Lazy, Mr. Sneeze and Mr. Nosey all live near Little Miss Scatterbrain as he has a letter for her. Mr. Mischief tricks Mr. Stamp into looking at the sky so he can tie a knot in his shoelaces.
While at Miss Scatterbrain's, Mr. Mischief made the wheels of Mr. Stamp's bike square, preventing him from being able to ride on it. Mr. Stamp asks Little Miss Scatterbrain to deliver the parcels for him. But being Little Miss Scatterbrain, she delivered the parcels to the wrong people, as Mr. Stamp predicted. She sent Mr. Lazy's parcel to Little Miss Busy, Mr. Sneeze's to Mr. Small, and Mr. Nosey's to Mr. Mean. Then Mr. Mischief finds that none of his presents had arrived and Mr. Stamp gives him a surprise with a Jack-in-the-box inside and wonders who that could have been from.

Trivia[]
- Little Miss Scatterbrain and Mr. Lazy are the only ones who are mentioned before they appear.
- The jack-in-the-box was most likely from Mr. Mischief himself, considering the way Mr. Stamp laughs at the end, and the way Mr. Mischief tugs the string of the jack-in-the-box with an irritated expression.
- This episode is available on the 'The Joke is on Little Miss Naughty' DVD, as well as the 2002 UK VHS release of this episode of the same name.
Errors[]
- It is unexplained how sending a handkerchief to Mr. Sneeze would be playing a trick. It is possible that the trick was that Mr. Sneeze had no arms, or that Mr. Mischief had put something like pepper in it.
- The former however is unlikely, since Mr. Sneeze's book indirectly implies that he doesn't need hands to be able to hold things.
- In the end of the episode, Mr. Stamp's pants is the same color as his jacket.
- Also his bike disappeared when he hands Mr. Mischief a parcel(Packege in the U.S dub).
