Story[]
Mr. Rush is always in a rush. He never does anything properly. He is in such a rush he has a terrible breakfast (toast not toasted, water cold), only brushes one tooth, and runs out of the house to go nowhere. He sees an ad for a vacation in a magazine but can't go away because he has no money, so he wants a job to make money. Being a bus driver isn't good, because he doesn't stop at any of the stops, being a waiter isn't good because he'd whisk away the food as soon as he brought it. The job he finds is as a postman delivering express letters, the best job for the fastest thing on two feet. He saves enough money and goes on vacation.

Trivia[]
- Moral: Take your time. Don't rush things.
- According to Little Miss Chatterbox in Hello, Pizza Express?, Mr. Rush is a distant cousin to Mr. Busy, but so far this is the only source to say so.
- He is never seen with a front view. Because of this, there would be times the animators would often "flip" him. Some kid meal toys by Arby's and other merchandise do depict him with a front view.
- His front view was revealed as a rhombus in that 1995 TV series that is in the episode, Mr. Slow Takes the Lead. This is also briefly seen in "Hurry Mr. Rush...autumn is coming!", when he turns while he's on the ladder, painting his house, and we see that the back view of Mr. Rush is also a rhombus.
- In one part of Little Miss Busy-Body, he has a blue hand. This also happens in the inlay cover of the second Mr. Men annual.
- Either he or Mr. Busy is the fastest Mr. Man.
- His favourite sport is running.
