Mr. Strong and Mr. Grumpy decide to investigate where it's coming from, later Mr. Nervous and the others follow them, it turns out it was no monster at all, but it was just Miss Scary snoring loudly in her bed, the 5 decide to leave her asleep and they leave her house and they go to Mr. Strong's house for some hot cocoa.

Trivia

• Mr. Stubborn sings I'm Not Tired in this episode.
• It is here we learn that Miss Scary has a scary snore.
• Mr. Nosey and Mr. Small's video is in this episode.
• It is odd for Miss Chatterbox to make a noise out of something loud as she is usually only talkative.
• Possible Goof: When the audience leaves the concert when murmuring, the viewers can see Miss Scary smiling, which seems very odd for Miss Scary to get angry instead of smiling as she is very scary and scares people.
• Mr. Nervous, Mr. Strong, Mr. Messy, Mr. Quiet, & Mr. Grumpy's plot is a reference to Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
• This is the first time since the episode, Collection that Miss Daredevil speaks.
• When Mr. Rude farted at the end of the episode, he might have apologized.
• Possible Goof: When Mr. Messy hears the horn-in-a-can, he is smiling, but he gets angry when he leaves the concert, along with Mr. Happy, Mr. Small, Mr. Grumpy and others.

• When the audience leaves the concert after murmuring, the viewer can hear Miss Sunshine saying, "This concert isn't good at all!" which seems odd for Miss Sunshine to get angry and make a negative comment as she is usually very cheerful and jolly and full of sunshine.

• This is the only episode where Mr. Rude sleep talks.

Goofs

• This episode airs in the wrong aspect ratio in the UK. This was fixed when the official Mr. Men channel uploaded the episode.
• When Mr. Tickle tries to wake up Mr. Rude by tickling him, it causes the piano top to close shut. the next scene with the piano has the top back up.
