* NotInFrontOfTheKid: Dennis has a really bad habit of overhearing and/or misinterpreting what his parents (usually his dad) says and then repeating it to the person, asking one guy what sports he plays because his dad called him a 'player', or saying that one guy couldn't be 'as bald as a billiard ball' like his dad said because the guy still has his eyebrows.

* LoudSleeperGag: In "Teacher's HELPer", Ms. Johnson serves as the substitute teacher for Dennis' kindergarten classroom, since Dennis' regular teacher Mrs. Garner is out sick. Dennis manages to drive Ms. Johnson crazy, so she insists that everyone take a nap after recess over (mostly so she can take a nap herself). Dennis manages to keep her awake during naptime, first by snoring like Henry, his father, then by barking like Ruff, his pet dog, saying it's the way they sleep. While Dennis' classmates are amused, Miss Johnson, unfortunately, is not.

* TrainingThePet: In ''Dennis the Menace and Ruff'', Dennis loves [[ALizardNamedLiz Ruff]], his pet dog, but his parents and his next-door neighbor, Mr. Wilson see Ruff as a nuisance since Ruff buries his bones in the Mitchells' backyard, leaves muddy pawprints in the Mitchell's house, and licks the dishes. Dennis has to teach Ruff to behave or his parents will send him away. For a while, Dennis succeeds in his lessons, including training Ruff to save a baby from drowning by practicing with his teddy bear, and as a result, Henry reluctantly lets Ruff join them in a party at Uncle Dick's house. On the way to the party, Ruff snatches a police officer's hat, and Dennis is now sure that his parents will send Ruff away. At the party, Dennis' two-year-old cousin, Billy falls into a pond and is in danger of drowning. [[ChekhovsClassroom Ruff sees Billy and rescues him just as Dennis taught him]], is praised as a hero, and Henry decides never to send Ruff away after his heroic deed.

In the comic books, Dennis was occasionally the victim of his own menacing, such as the time his father accidentally gives him $10 instead of $1 (in the 1960's when money was worth a lot more) to buy food at a food fair and Dennis spends it all. As such, he got a massive stomach ache.
