* Arguably the 1996 cartoon is a riot from start to finish, due to [[NarmCharm its campy voice acting and (intentionally) narmy storylines]].
* The cartoon episode "Couldn't Catch a Cold" is a scary episode, but it still has humour:
** Dennis tricking the lunch lady into letting him eat all the dessert by pretending to be three separate children (he does so by covering his face and putting on a fake accent the second two times) and then pulling the old "look behind you" trick.
** Dennis [[PlayingSick pretends that he's caught the cold]] and says, "[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial This cold is definitely real]]". His mother is not convinced because she was there when he pretended to have chicken pox, be [[MisterSeahorse pregnant]], and that his [[AnArmAndALeg arm had fallen off]] (the latter of which he does by throwing a plushy's arm on the ground, hiding his own arm up his sleeve, and using his other arm to point at the toy's arm on the floor).
** Dennis says, "What did Gran say?" and remembers her bragging about being able to fit a coconut in her mouth. He then remembers that she perpetuated the CatchYourDeathOfCold myth, so he tries to catch a cold by having Gnasher shake water on him, walk in the rain in summer clothes, put ice in his pyjamas, and sleep with heaps of fans on. [[EpicFail None of these attempts work]].
* From the cartoon episode "Dennis and the Grownups":
** A hippie therapist-type dude who believes that laughter is the key to everything ends up bouncing down the street tied to a spring-loaded chair as the result of one of Dennis's pranks.
** Dennis tricking one of his friends into thinking that grownups suffer from hypoxia due to their height and that vegetables turn children into grownups.
