* {{Jerkass}}: Dennis is a prankster, and although not evil, he can be malicious at times.
Added DiffLines:
* LoveableRogue: For perhaps the first time, Dennis is presented this way. He's still a prankster, and at times a malicious one, but is equally capable of heroics and ''way'' less of a {{Jerkass}} than in the comics.

* LostAesop: The moral of "The Day TV was Banned" was supposed to be "Television is a pleasure, but not ''the only'' pleasure", but it ended up being "What was the moral in the episode?" due to the over-the-top challenge for a cheque and the EccentricMillionaire breaking his own challenge to watch a telenovela.

* LoopholeAbuse: In "The Competition", Dennis wins a ''Series/BluePeter'' art contest and is invited onto the set. When "his" winning drawing is revealed on air, however, it turns out to be a bunch of splodges that Gnasher made, with the judge apparently oblivious to Dennis' actual drawing on the other side of the page. Once this has been explained, the presenters decide there ain't no rule saying a dog can't win - since Gnasher's under the age limit, he's still eligible.

* MoreDakka: In one episode, Dennis and Gnasher got a pair of HumongousMecha which happened to look like them; Gnasher's had an enormous gun pop out of its "nose". Then more guns. Then some more. Then some '''''[[SerialEscalation more]]'''''. [[spoiler:[[DeconstructedTrope Then it fell over]].]]

* NotMeThisTime: In "The Day TV Was Banned", an eccentric millionaire challenges Beanotown to go a week without TV, with the promise of £1 million if they succeed. Dennis spends the whole week trying to power his family's TV back up in spite of the challenge, only to be thwarted time and again. On the final day, the TV in Dennis' house is suddenly switched on, and the townspeople immediately assume Dennis is responsible and chase him down. It's only when they reach his house that they realise he ''can't'' be responsible because he's ''not in the house''.[[note]]It turns out to have been the millionaire himself, who just couldn't miss his favourite soap opera; since the townspeople made it that far, he gives them the £1 million anyway.[[/note]]

* AnAesop: Although the show was not ''intended'' to have a moral every episode, there are some notable examples:
** "The Day TV Was Banned" in Season 1 had "Television is a pleasure, but not ''the only'' pleasure", but this became both a BrokenAesop and LostAesop.
** "Mauled" in Season 2 had "Support your local shops, don't shop at the huge malls ''every time''", and this was in an era before Amazon and eBay were widely used.
