Bump in the Night was a Stop Motion animated series by Danger Productions and the American Broadcasting Company's in-house studio Greengrass Productions, lasting from September, 1994 to December, 1995. It covers the adventures of Mr. Bumpy (Jim Cummings), a small green monster living under the bed of a 10 year old boy, and his friends Squishington (Rob Paulsen), a blue monster that lives in the bathroom's toilet tank, and Miss Molly Coddle (Gail Matthius note a Saturday Night Live alumnus from its infamous sixth season), the comfort doll who belongs to the boy's sister. They spend their time getting into all sorts of hijinks while dealing with Destructo (Cummings), a toy robot who militantly enforces rules, and trying to avoid the Closet Monster.The development of the series began as a series of Ad Bumpers for ABC's Saturday morning lineup in 1993, possibly, the reason he's called Mr. Bumpy is because he was originally used as a character for bumpers alongside Squishington and Molly. The series lasted for two seasons, and concluded with a 90 minute long Christmas Special. The format of a usual episode included two cartoons and a "Karaoke Cafe" segment where the characters sung a song. | |

Look Behind You | |
Bump in the Night / int_112f8ee1 | comment |
Look Behind You: Mr. Bumpy occasionally does this, telling Destructo that he sees Molly's Comet in "Long, Long Day" and claiming to see a two-headed, pink polka dot monkey riding a unicycle in "Not a Leg to Stand On." When Bumpy unconvincingly tries to hide the wig he used to disguise himself as Molly in "Love's Labor Bumped", Molly tricks him into turning around by claiming that there's a sock behind him. | |

Meat-O-Vision: "Nothing but the Tooth" has Mr. Bumpy's dentures see Bumpy and Squishington as a green sock and a blue sock respectively. Bumpy also hallucinates Squishy as a blue sock when his inability to eat socks without his teeth drives him bonkers. "Water Way to Go" has a dehydrated Squishington hallucinate Mr. Bumpy as a bottle of spring water and desperately attempt to drink him. | |

A more straight example would be Juaquin the Earthworm from "Twas the Night Before Bumpy", who wants a set of robotic hands to remedy his lack of arms. He gets them. | |

Reluctant Monster: Mr. Bumpy hears about a monster under the bed that is freaking his boy out, and resolves to deal with it. After an investigation, Squishington deduces that the monster is in fact Mr. Bumpy, and his late-night, hard-partying ways are scaring the boy awake. Mr. Bumpy is upset by this, since he loves his boy as he's the primary source of the cool stuff he has and the dirty socks he eats. | |

Molly Coddle convinces the Cute Dolls to let Bumpy off the hook by claiming that he's learned his lesson and that he'd probably give the foam toads indigestion. | |

This is used a lot, especially to facilitate the re-used animation. The same Booby Trap, involving a bowling ball rolling down a ramp, is sprung multiple times in "Comforting the Uncomfortable." Squishy is hit twice with the same safe in "Night of the Living Bread." And Bumpy is amused by a remote control that sprouts fungus in "Danger: Unexploded Squishington." | |

Bump in the Night / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Mr. Bumpy can be greedy and selfish at times, but he always shows remorse when his actions cause harm to his friends and wishes for them to be happy. One episode even had him trying to find a bunny to cheer up a sick Squishington and is so upset by his repeated failures to acquire one that he tries to get himself eaten by the Closet Monster even as Squishington tells him that it's okay he let him down. | |

Bump in the Night / int_4856ac40 | comment |
Stock Footage: Not a single episode doesn't use footage from another. Hell, some even use footage from episodes that don't air until later, which makes it confusing as to what was done first in the show's production. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
Bump in the Night / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: Mr. Bumpy sometimes uses disguises that are obviously very poor. In "Penny for Your Thoughts", Mr. Bumpy tries to avoid the pennies that appear whenever he thinks by distracting them with a cardboard cutout of himself while wearing a cowboy hat and a fake mustache. In "Love's Labor Bumped", Bumpy finds out that Destructo has a crush on Molly Coddle and proceeds to mess with him by disguising himself as Molly. All he wears for a disguise is a large wig resembling Molly's hair, a glove resembling Molly's right arm, and a red and white legging like the one Molly wears on her left leg. It bears mentioning that Molly is a humanoid-shaped doll, while Bumpy is a short green monster with purple warts. In the episode "Not a Leg to Stand On", Bumpy tried to avoid being punished for allegedly stealing Molly's feet by disguising himself as Squishington's "Cousin Bela", a relative who doesn't exist. His Cousin Bela disguise is nothing more than a fake blue nose, fake eyebrows, a fake mustache, and a hat with a feather in it. | |

Think of the Censors!: In "Adventures in Microbia," when Squishington gets kissed by Germ Girl, Bumpy blocks them from the viewers' eyes and says, "Hey, you can't do that on TV." In "Beauty and the Bump", Mr. Bumpy asks Knight!Destructo if he has anything more network-friendly after being shown a selection of sharp, bladed weapons. | |

Downer Ending | |
Bump in the Night / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: A few, though they are all Zigzagged. "Love's Labor Bumped" ends with Mr. Bumpy getting beaten up by Destructo and Molly Coddle. Bumpy was however being extremely obnoxious and rude to both of them through the whole episode, so it isn't unjustified. "Bump and Roll" ends with the Cute Dolls hurling Bumpy and Squishy into the sun. Though this is Played for Laughs and naturally Negative Continuity ensures they survive. A lot of episodes end with random explosions as punctuation marks, a trend prabably launched in "Danger: Unexploded Squishington" when the clock extracted from Squishy's belly really does turn out to be a bomb. | |

Unreliable Voiceover: When Squishington reads Little Robot's latest email from her in "Made in Japan II", Little Robot claims that the factory makes her kind perfectly, that the children love them and that they're very profitable for the company. This is overlaid with animations of a Turbo Totrenoid having a design flaw pointed out, children crying at the sight of a Turbo Totrenoid Hulking Out and a line graph showing that the robot toys aren't selling very well. | |

She then replaces her other arm with a hair dryer from the Cuties, her legs with Destructo's, and her torso with a tin can, getting deeper and deeper into a power trip until she ends up replacing her own head and creating an entirely new monster. | |

There is a Karaoke Cafe song dedicated to this that is even called "Don't Try This at Home" and has Mr. Bumpy warning the audience not to imitate his dangerous stunts. Another Karaoke Cafe song, called "Making Music is Fun", at one point has Bumpy state "Kids, I want you to try this at home." From "Danger: Unexploded Squishington." | |

Bump in the Night / int_7ed1d007 | comment |
Competition Coupon Madness: In "Made in Japan", Mr. Bumpy saves box tops from Choco Space Flakes cereal in order to get a Turbo Totrenoid robot. When Bumpy is disappointed by the robot arriving in the mail appearing to be smaller and less fierce-looking than advertised, he and Squishington decide that they'll send the robot back for a full refund and then get started eating enough Sugar Frosted Shark Puffs to get the amount of box tops needed to exchange for a toy submarine. | |

"Comfort Schmumfort", a title used for two different segments. One is a regular episode about Molly Coddle rescuing Squishington and Mr. Bumpy from Sleemoth and Gloog, the other is a Karaoke Cafe segment where Molly sings about her desire to take a break from constantly tending to her friends' injuries. | |

It's through accidentally giving everyone their presents that Mr. Bumpy learns the value of giving. | |

Word, Schmord!: "Comfort Schmumfort", a title used for two different segments. One is a regular episode about Molly Coddle rescuing Squishington and Mr. Bumpy from Sleemoth and Gloog, the other is a Karaoke Cafe segment where Molly sings about her desire to take a break from constantly tending to her friends' injuries. In "Better Homes and Garbage", Mr. Bumpy says "Shrine, Schmine" in response to Squishington offering to make every moment he stays at Bumpy's place a living shrine toward pleasing him. In "Farewell 2 Arms", the corrupted Molly Coddle informs Mr. Bumpy that there's only one thing she needs to complete replacing her body parts with more powerful limbs. Mr. Bumpy guesses that Molly needs a new dress, but Molly replies "Dress, schmess" and states that what she really wants is a new head. In "Love Stinks", Molly Coddle tries to get away from Odiferous J. Stench by stating that it is getting late. Odie retorts with "late, schmate". In "'Twas the Night Before Bumpy", Squishington states that it would really help their journey to the North Pole if they had a compass. Bumpy replies "Compass, bumpass". | |

Bump in the Night / int_b707726f | comment |
Hypocritical Humor: In "Story Problems", the boy claims to be good at spelling and then misspells "dead" as "D-E-D". Molly Coddle admonishes Mr. Bumpy for trying to use a baseball bat indoors because someone could get hurt in "Beauty and the Bump", but she ends up accidentally hurting people anyway because screams of pain can be heard after she tosses the bat away. | |

The Twelve Spoofs of Christmas | |
Bump in the Night / int_b8c092dc | comment |
The Twelve Spoofs of Christmas: The Christmas special "Twas the Night Before Bumpy" features a parody of the Twelve Days of Christmas, first having everyone in the house state what they want for Christmas and a reprise at the end sung by Bumpy as he reflects on learning the value of giving to others after going through his journey to the North Pole in an attempt to take Santa's bag of presents for himself. | |

Extra-Long Episode: There were two episodes that diverged from the series' usual Three Shorts format of two ten-minute episodes and a Karaoke Cafe segment. "Party Poopers" is one twenty-minute episode and a Karaoke Cafe song. "'Twas the Night Before Bumpy" runs for one hour and four minutes. | |

Re-Cut: The episode "Neat and Clean" is a heavily edited version of the previous episode "Adventures in Microbia", the most significant change being that the episode ends with Squishington, Bumpy, Molly Coddle, the Cute Dolls, and Destructo (the last three of which weren't present in the original episode) singing a song about how important it is to be neat and clean. | |

The episode "Night of the Living Bread", whose title is a Shout-Out to Night of the Living Dead.

Mr. Bumpy asks the bugs if they didn't mean "the four-toed one" while pointing out that he himself has four toes, prompting the leader to gesture the other bugs to continue torturing Bumpy. | |

The first time by pointing out how dishonest it was to not keep his promise of giving Juaquin Gusanito Sin Manos the bionic arms he desired and the second time by calling his conduct "uncool" when Bumpy tries to weasel his way out of giving Squishington the feet he wanted after all the peril the two friends had been through. | |

Despair Event Horizon: While it’s more Played for Laughs, Mr. Bumpy comes pretty close to this in “Hocus Dopus�, after trying (and failing) numerous times to pull a rabbit out of a hat to cheer up a sick Squishington. Bumpy thinks Squishy will never forgive him (despite Squishy saying to his face numerous times that he does), and starts to head towards the Closet Monster’s lair, fully intending to feed himself to it. Thankfully, Squishington was able to sneak a bunny slipper into the hat and convince Mr. Bumpy to try one more time before he did anything drastic. | |

Running Gag | |
Bump in the Night / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The episode "Beauty and the Bump" has the running gag of Mr. Bumpy trying to solve his problems by using a baseball bat only for one of the other characters to yell at him because doing so is unsafe. This especially gets ludicrous in his dream sequence when he answers the troll's riddle "Why can't a vampire get a date?", as Mr. Bumpy's answer is merely a pun on the word "bat" (Because he has bat breath) as opposed to using a bat to hit things. This is used a lot, especially to facilitate the re-used animation. The same Booby Trap, involving a bowling ball rolling down a ramp, is sprung multiple times in "Comforting the Uncomfortable." Squishy is hit twice with the same safe in "Night of the Living Bread." And Bumpy is amused by a remote control that sprouts fungus in "Danger: Unexploded Squishington." | |

Bump in the Night / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: It varies in every episode whether Squishington is more intelligent (or at least has more common sense) than Mr. Bumpy or if he is dumber than Bumpy. For example, Squishington is depicted as the brighter of the pair in "Sock it to Me" and "Better Homes and Garbage", both of which have him trying to get Mr. Bumpy to stop making shortsighted decisions, whereas "Danger: Unexploded Squishington" has him getting himself into trouble because he failed to listen to Bumpy's warnings about eating in the dark. It works the other way around for Mr. Bumpy. In "Adventures in Microbia" Bumpy, who usually hates cleanliness, is all too eager to help Squishy shrink to microscopic size to fight off germs in the bathroom. | |
