In the 2008 TV series, The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Rude kept his red colour, dark red nose, and shape, but he no longer wears a hat and instead a pair of brown shoes (though he was shown wearing a larger similar hat in "Cinema" and "Pets"), and has three hair pieces on his head. His red colour is a bit more orange and his nose is more brown. Often, when people tell him something he disapproves of, he rebuts with "I'll give you (blank)", and fart (after which, someone, usually a group of disembodied heads, yells out his name). Due to his rudeness, he is disliked by most of the cast. He sells clocks that look just like the exterior of his house as seen in Clocks. He is the Chief Bean Taster of the Dillydale Beanery, and runs a theme park called Rudeland.
Along with Mr. Scatterbrain, he is the only character to have the same voice in both the UK and US versions. Mr. Rude is voiced by Joey D'Auria (credited as Joseph J. Terry), and has a French accent.

Trivia[]
- Mr. Rude, Little Miss Scary, and Little Miss Whoops are the first and only characters created by Adam Hargreaves to appear in animated form.
- First Appearance: Physical
- In the first season, Mr. Rude's farting gag was accompanied by cartoonish honking noises. In the second season, the honks are replaced with more realistic flatulence sounds.
- The episode "Sneezes and Hiccups" reveals that he has identical family members.
- In the episodes "Cinema" and "Pets", Mr. Rude is seen wearing a tall black hat similar to the one he wears in his book appearance. In the latter episode, Little Miss Magic's goat Nutmeg burns it to a French beret, fitting his French accent.
- Ironically, he doesn't understand French, as evidenced in Boo-Boos when Mr. Scatterbrain says "Bon Appetit" to which Mr. Rude responds with "Speak in a language That I know!".
- However, he still counts in French in Post Office.
- Several episodes such as "Heatwave", "Canned Goods", "Inventions", and "Clean Teeth" do not physically show the gas after he passes it, however, other characters are aware of it.
- When he farted in Car Wash, it just blew bubbles and the fart was only heard faintly.
- He had his shoes off four times (Trains, Beach, Shoes, Up and Down).
- Mr. Rude is the only character that said "murder" in the series (Books).
- His French accent is a stereotype that French people are rude.
- On YouTube, there was a rendition of Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay sung by Mr. Rude that had been removed since around 2010. However, it has officially came back thanks to Joey D'Auria posting it on his Instagram on January 31, 2023.
- He has described both Mr. Nervous and Miss Giggles as soft as something. (Physical, Amusement Park, Construction, Pirates)
- He uses described Mr. Nervous and Miss Giggles using the same comparison in Amusement Park & Pirates respectively ("soft as a grape").
- He was wearing Mr. Tall's hat in Surprises.
- His accent sparked some controversy in the UK, but due to Joey D'Auria being the only voice actor who voices Mr. Scatterbrain and Mr. Rude in both the US and UK versions and of the accent's familiarity in the US, Mr. Rude's accent meant no harm to the UK and got no punishment.
- Thus, he and Mr Scatterbrain are the only characters to retain their US voices in the UK dub.
- He also has redeeming qualities. For example:
- He has intelligent points comparative to Mr. Stubborn.
- He is amenable like Mr. Grumpy.
- In Full Moon, Mr. Rude is shown to be a firm believer in aliens and monsters per his quote "I come in peace. He's just here to annoy".
- His farts have served beneficial purposes. For instance in Up and Down he ascended Miss Daredevil and Miss Helpful's hot air balloon by farting inside it. In addition, in Pirates his farts scared away the Alien Space Pirates saving Mr. Happy and Mr. Tickle from being thrown out into space.
