!!Tropes present in Dennis the Menace (1996):
* 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.
* CaptainErsatz: Genghis Kong is this show's version of DC Comics' Gorilla Grodd, only with the violence toned down and no psychic powers.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Sir Fitz-Patrick Flush, an EccentricMillionaire, offers a million-pound cheque to Beanotown residents if they can live without television for a whole week, but he breaks it by watching a telenovela.
* {{Jerkass}}: Dennis is a prankster, and although not evil, he can be malicious at times.
* 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.
* KillerGorilla: Genghis Kong, an escaped circus gorilla who appears only in the episode "Gorilla Warfare" is an example of this trope, but he's far more dangerous than the character he was based on.
* MenaceDecay: Averted in this adaptation, but later adaptations would tone it down.
* MorphicResonance: No matter what the aliens in "Unidentified Funny Object" shapeshift into, their eyes will always be misplaced and often the antenna on their head will appear, as shown by when they shapeshifted into Dennis' dad.
* SpecialGuest: Katy Hill of ''Series/BluePeter'' fame appeared in "The Competition" as an InkSuitActor version of herself AdamWesting.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Dennis may cause damage or even blow a place up, but everything is back to normal by next episode with no mention of what happens.
* TheDreaded: Most of Beanotown are frightened of Dennis, ''even his own family''.
* VillainProtagonist: While not a full-on villain, due to his ThePrankster nature and {{Jerkass}} behavior, Dennis is the closest thing to a villain protagonist the show has.
