Funny / The Beano

• There was a Bash Street Kids special where Teacher found out that the class found his lessons boring (by way of Spotty screaming in fear that his head would explode from boredom). Teacher decided to give them a lesson in something they would find exciting, and had them write their ideas down for him to draw from a hat. First he drew Sydney's idea, bull fighting, which consisted of the kids being shut in the gym with a bull. Then afterwards, they did Fatty's idea, a lesson in chocolate tasting, ending in the kids becoming dreadfully ill from eating too many sweets. The next day, Teacher is driving the school bus to Danny's idea...a lesson in stock-car racing. Teacher, with full-on Crazy Eyes, proceeds to drive the bus around the stock car track, teaching the kids lessons such as 'the best defense is offense!'.
  Danny: Sir, Plug feels sick!
  Teacher: Well open a window!
  • And Plug sticks his head out, terrifying the other drivers into crashing. In the end, the kids are happy with being taught nice, safe, boring maths.
  • At the chocolate factory:
  Smiffy: Is that Billy Plonka?
  Plug: No, it's the King of Spain.
  Smiffy: But why would the King of Spain show us around his chocolate facto-?
  Plug: Smiffy, shut up.
• The 2007 Beano Annual Bash Street Kids story involving a parents evening.
• The issue celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Dennis the Menace.
  • The guests arriving and all of them accidentally hurting Dennis' dad while greeting him with "Hi, Mr. Dennis!"
  • Everyone getting Dennis a Beano Book as a present...except Les Pretend, who got him a pretend one.
  • Dennis booby-trapping the parcels in pass-the-parcel. The first one is a flour bomb and explodes in Roger the Dodger's face, prompting Dennis' dad to warn Dennis by saying "I hope you don't have any more flour bombs, Dennis!" to which Dennis replies "Absolutely not, Dad!" and reveals to Minnie that there's also an ink-bomb and a boxing glove. The second one explodes in Smiffy's face, and by this point Roger is angry with Dennis, so arranges for him to get the third parcel. To prove he's not a chicken, Dennis opens it.
  • A fist-fight breaking out because Dennis lost musical chairs.
  • Dennis' mum sees the mess that the Bash Street Kids made in the bathroom, prompting a scream heard throughout the house. Dennis' first reaction? "What? It's nothing to do with me!"
  • The Food Fight.
  • Les pretending to be a pig and annoying Toots immensely.
• Dennis trying to one-up Walter's fancy pencil topper by putting his entire desk on the pencil.
• From the 2024 Annual's 85th Anniversary Bash, this series of Noodle Incidents regarding how Bash Street School keeps getting demolished every year:
  Teacher: Technically, this building is only 85 days old because it was rebuilt after that unfortunate custard explosion, but the building before that [...] was destroyed by that giant mutant duck, but...
  'Erbert: Bananaman crashed into the school before that.
  Minnie: And the one before that was destroyed by aliens!
  Dennis: And the one before that was destroyed by a different giant mutant duck!
  Teacher: All right! The school gets wrecked every five minutes, but there's been a school here for 85 years!
  • And then a giant mutant duck tramples him, Miss Mistry and Mr. Throbb.
    Note from Ed.: Why are there so many giant mutant ducks in Beanotown?!
