[edit] Story
Mr. Grumpy is the grouchiest person in the world. He's always in a bad mood, hating anyone or anything he comes across. He can't stand books so he tears out all of the pages, and he is rude to Mr. Happy who comes to visit. Mr. Happy has Mr. Tickle tickle Mr. Grumpy if he is mean to somebody. This works, because it makes Mr. Grumpy nicer. Now when he picks up a book, he only tears out one page.
[edit] The Mr. Men Show
In the 2008 version of Mr. Men, Mr. Grumpy retains his blue color and big blue nose. Though his hat was changed, he looks much more mature, and he was given a catchphrase: "Crooked cucumbers!" Like Mr. Small and Mr. Bump, his favorite food is liverwurst sandwiches. His favorite TV show is called "Trout Tuesday". According to what he said in the episode Farms, he was raised in the country. In the episode Dancing, he was writing his life story, which he sold in Books. He also now lives in a small brown house with signs that say "Go Away" and have frowns on them in his front yard, and a vegetable garden with a peach orchard in his backyard(which Mr. Scatterbrain and Little Miss Whoops ruined).
