[edit] Story
Mr. Bounce is small and bounces around like a rubber ball, which makes life very difficult for him. One day, after banging his head on the ceiling from bouncing off a chair, Mr. Bounce has decided he's had it with all this bouncing about and decides to see the doctor about it. On the way however, he trips on a pebble and becomes a live tennis ball for two boys in a tennis court. After taking a bus to the doctor's, Mr. Bounce bounces into the doctor's office and into Dr. Makeyouwell's midmorning coffee. After Mr. Bounce explains his problem, Dr. Makeyouwell gives him the cure for bouncing about: heavy red boots. Mr. Bounce wears the boots to bed that night. The next morning, he bounces out of bed, but the boots make him fall through the floor straight into the kitchen.
In the 2008 Mr. Men Show, he looks the same, has an Indian accent in the US version and an Irish accent in the UK version. His bouncing about causes chaos for the other Mr Men and Little Misses in Dillydale, especially when he's out in public.
