Exquisite Suffering 137: Dennis the Menace
🕑 Added 2022-03-23 19:16:13 +0000 UTCImagine, if you will, a very bad boy. Now make him 100% worse. That doesn't come close to the awfulness of Dennis the Menace, the young child born to kill the old man. This movie was a nightmare, the old television show was boring, and this game is bad too. So we talk about the times we were menaces ourselves, but mostly we were just weiners.

Brit here- I had no idea there was a whole other Dennis the menace in the US (apparently they were created "completely independently" but within a week of each other in march 1951 - likely story!). I just thought that the American film was a really watered down version of the British character :p It makes much more sense to know that Americans hadn't even heard of the British Dennis the message though..

As a Brit who grew up with The Beano, that isn’t Dennis the Menace. I still have my Dennis the Menace fan club wallet. D.I.N.G.!

For years when my wife asks a very indecisive me, what I want for dinner, my go to has usually been to sing "I want a feast. I want a bean feast." Glad to know I'm not the only dingus with bean feast just floating around in there.
