Mall (TMMS 2022)

Mall is the ninth episode (second part of the fifth episode) of Season 1 of The Mr. Men Show.

Synopsis
The tides of an upcoming escalator prove no match for a downwardly directed Mr. Stubborn; Mr. Messy's cheese shop is a stinky success; and Little Miss Universe learns the perils of vibrating furniture.

Plots

 * Mr. Scatterbrain and Mr. Bounce's Plot: Mr. Bounce wants a pair a sized 6 boots from Mr. Scatterbrain. Mr. Scatterbrain keeps messing up Mr. Bounce's request and ends up giving him ukuleles that are sized 6. Mr. Bounce tries to correct him only to end up bouncing out of the store.
 * Mr. Persnickety and Mr. Messy's Plot: Mr. Persnickety is trying to get cheese from Mr. Messy's Cheese Parlor but his cheese is gross.
 * Musical number: Dillydale Dance Floor by Mr. Bump. (Deleted in the UK dub but was available on the website)
 * Mr. Stubborn, Mr. Grumpy, Miss Chatterbox, Mr. Rude, Mr. Small, Mr. Scatterbrain and Mr. Bounce's Plot: Mr. Grumpy finds Mr. Stubborn walking on the opposite direction on the up escalator in his way. Mr. Stubborn refuses to admit that he's on the wrong escalator. Miss Chatterbox, Mr. Rude, Mr. Small, and Mr. Scatterbrain also get in his way. Mr. Bounce then knocks them down like bowling pins and Mr. Stubborn then proceeds downward (presumably the impact from Mr. Bounce made the escalator slow down).
 * Mr. Tickle and Mr. Lazy's Plot: Mr. Tickle gives Mr. Lazy a cleaning robot that is supposed to do all the work for Mr. Lazy, but it ends up being unhelpful to the point where Mr. Lazy (ironically) tells Mr. tickle that its lazy. In the end, Mr. Tickle and all his robots give Mr. Lazy a tickle.
 * Miss Helpful and Miss Universe's Plot: Miss Helpful gives Miss Universe a relaxing chair. She then presses the red button (which Miss Helpful has forgot to tell her not to press) and the chair moves about the place. She gets into many things. Including a costume shop, a pet store, and a bakery. After the five minutes are up, Miss Universe is completely shaken and tells Miss Helpful that she will not buy the chair.

Bumpers
Characters go into a photo booth.
 * 1) Mr. Ghosts goes in, but comes out almost immediately after the photos are taken, as the photos show that Miss Tricky had tricked him.
 * 2) Mr. Lazy goes in. His photos show him slowly dropping off and going to sleep.
 * 3) Mr. Scatterbrain goes in. His photos show the photo booth filling with water and him swimming away.
 * 4) Miss Spicy goes in and after the pictures are taken, the photo booth takes off. Her photos show that she had gone to the moon.

Trivia

 * It is unknown that how many stores are in there as on the bottom floor.

Dub edits

Errors

 * The escalator in Mr. Stubborn, Mr. Grumpy, Miss Chatterbox, Mr. Rude, Mr. Small, Mr. Scatterbrain and Mr. Bounce's plot doesn't lead anywhere.
 * The photos Miss Spicy take implies that she took them on the moon, but the booth doesn't go up when she already takes the photos.
