    Mr. Rude is a character from the Mr. Men novel franchise. He is a French and very rude Mr. Man, who often makes sarcastic remarks. He is known for being an average character in the 2008 reboot of The Mr. Men Show.

    Intentional Rude Qualities

    1. First and foremost, he provides a stale running gag of him farting constantly throughout the show for no apparent reason, which is disgusting and gets old pretty fast.
      • On that topic, his main source of humor is saying "I'll give you (something)", before flatulating, which is just disgusting.
    2. He is a rude French stereotype.
    3. He is prone to doing gross things, like shoving his thumb in his ear and farting a lot, which get pretty tedious after a while.
    4. He sometimes gets undeserving characters blamed for his own rude demeanor and often entirely gets away with it, in cases such as:
      • Behaving badly and blaming it on Mr. Fussy in "Restaurants".
      • Not turning off his phone at a concert, resulting in Mr. Quiet being blamed for disrupting the concert in "Telephone".
      • Dissing Mr. Grumpy and going as far to accuse him of being rude and blaming it on him in "Supermarket".
      • Destroying the ballet and blaming it on Mr. Fussy in "Dance Dance Dance".
    5. While in season 1, he didn't flatulate very often; in season 2, there was an increase of times he does. Basically, these cements "walking fart joke" a character trait of his. This isn't helped by instances such as him wearing a pair of shoes that flatulate in other shoes and owning a rocket ship that flatulates in outer space.
      • In season 2, Mr. Rude's farting sounds were changed from cartoon honks to actual farting sounds, which turned off some fans, made the gag less funny and made him even more gross and obnoxious than he already was. Not to mention there was an increase in his fart jokes and it was often played up for more gross-out.
    6. He himself was his absolute worst in "Machines" where he even takes pure pleasure in leaving Little Miss Giggles to get mauled by dinosaurs, which is extremely morbid and heartless of him, even for usual Mr. Men demographic!
      • Of course, he may have acted rude and jerkish like this, but never to this extent of leaving someone to die in a kids show.
    7. He can act hypocritical at times, berating people for "being rude" when he is rude himself (such as in the aforementioned "Supermarket").
    8. He also has violated the law at times, such as parking where he shouldn't, throwing litter, and driving recklessly.
    9. He gets little to no comeuppance for his actions and also gets off scot-free, making him a Karma Houdini.
    10. In "Driving", he basically tortured Mr. Grumpy by flatulating and locking him in the back of his taxi for several seconds, before ejecting him.

    Polite Qualities

    1. Despite being a self-proclaimed jerk, he is actually pretty funny at times:
      1. His lines can be pretty funny.
      2. The running gag of people yelling his name almost every time he flatulates is also amusing.
    2. Considering that everyone thinks that he is obviously a rude man and it's in his name, he was most likely meant to be loathed for his bad manners.
    3. Joey D'Auria did a good job voicing him, and actually manages to pull off a convincing French accent.
    4. Like all the other characters in the show, his design is decent.
    5. Depending on who you ask, he might be a little more tolerable than the show's version of Little Miss Scary.
      • He does get karma for his actions, most notably because when he farts, he gets scolded by the rest of the cast.
      • To be fair, his rudeness is slightly downplayed compared to his book counterpart - while the Mr. Rude of the books genuinely upset people by throwing insults at them, this version mainly just makes sarcastic remarks (in fact, the only time he really upsets people is when he flatulates or burps).
      • The 2008 reboot of The Mr. Men Show most likely wouldn't be the same without him, since he does contribute to the show's comedy.
    6. In "Full Moon" and "Home Improvement", his behavior to Mr. Stubborn is justified, since he's extremely arrogant, dumb and reckless.
    7. He saved Mr. Happy and Mr. Tickle from alien pirates in "Pirates".
