[edit] The Mr. Men Show
In the 2008 The Mr. Men Show, Mr. Messy is given blue and white sneakers (similar to Little Miss Chatterbox's, only with patches of dirt on the toes, and one of them with untied laces), and his limbs are also made solid, instead of scribbled like they were originally. Also, his house is no longer by itself in a messy field. He lives right next door to Mr. Persnickety (USA) / Mr. Pernickety (UK) (originally named Mr. Fussy in the book series) in a duplex-styled house. His catchphrase: "Shaa-zam!", which is similar to Emeril's "Bam!!", and "That's what I'm talkin' about." He also owns a pizzeria. Mr. Messy's accent in the UK is Liverpudlian, and African-American in the US.
