You're Joking Dennis & Gnasher

-Ready, Gnasher?

-Yes, yes!

-Let's go!

# Playing by the rules

# Is highly overrated

# Unstoppable, unstoppable, yeah

# They can't hold us back

# We'll make the most of every second

# Unstoppable, unstoppable, yeah

# After all is said and done

# Shout one for all and all for fun

# Nothing's going to bring us down today, yeah

# Open up your eyes, the world outside is waiting. #

LAUGHTER

Sounds like my tricks really livened up the family day

-at your dad's work.

-DOOR OPENS

I knew I'd find you here. It's my boss - Mr Scrimp.

He wants both of us to report to his office right away.

Oh, dear! I knew I shouldn't have taken you to the family day.

Come in.

Ah, Whatshisname! I want a word with this son of yours.

So, young Whatshisname,

was it you who put soap flakes in the cistern of the executive toilet?

Me?!

-I'm sure it was some sort of mist...

-Quiet, Whatshisname!

-I'm talking to the boy.

-Mmm!

And are you the same little rascal

who put wind-up piranha fish in the water cooler?

Stick out your tongue, Miss Jones.

But that was just...

Fair enough. It was me. Had to liven things up a bit.

This place is so boring!

No-o-o-o!

-Ha-ha! Excellent. That's quite a boy you've got there, Whatshisname.

-Eh?

The thing is, we're creating a new range for the young consumer

and we need young Whatshisname's expertise.

How do you fancy creating your very own range

of the ultimate practical jokes, eh?

We'd call them the Menace Collection.

Wow! You want me to design jokes?!

Exactly. You see, we've been having some problems with our prototypes.

Cast your expert eye over 'em, young man.

We tried to upgrade the squirty flower

by inventing the squirty bouquet...

Certainly wet enough, but difficult to direct.

Hmm! I see the problem.

Let's see how good a golfer you are, Whatshisname.

As you see, our exploding golf balls

don't always work.

DAD COUGHS

-I see. I'm sure I can improve that lot.

-Excellent.

You have full access to my design team.

Good man!

Thanks for bringing young Whatshisname to my attention.

Oh, buy the way, can you get hold of a pair of tartan trousers

-and a diamond checked sweater?

-Yes. I think so.

Good. Then you MUST join me at the golf club on Sunday.

Me?! At the golf club? Wow!

I-I-I mean...er, of course, Mr Scrimp.

GOLF CLUB SWISHES

Get ready for Joke No.1, Mr Scrimp,

which Walter's kindly "volunteered" to test.

Ha-ha-ha! Oh, this is so exciting!

Time to give each plant its daily drink.

Oh, I say! A new bush!

Hmm! Father must have planted it.

Waagghh!

It's watering ME!

I think you'll find the squirty bush out-wets the squirty bouquet.

Oh, yes, indeed! Bravo! Wonderful!

Hello.

A spherical object approaching me

from a westerly direction? Oh!

I can't resist it.

Aggh!

Exploding golf balls, pah!

I take things to the max.

Ha-ha-ha! I love the added helping of green gunge.

A masterstroke!

Well? What do you think of me outfit? Will I do?

Yes, yes, very nice.

Oh, you should have seen that lad of yours, Whatshisname.

He's really coming up with the goods.

All we need now is one top-of-the-range joke

-and we're ready.

-Ready?

Ready for what?

Ready to open our first Menace Collection joke shop,

right here in Beanotown.

I rent this place to some chap called Hoho or Heehee or something.

You mean Mr Haha?

That's the fellow. Anyway, we're going to close him down,

then reopen as our very own joke shop!

But Mr Haha's been there for years!

Exactly. Time he got another job.

-But...

-So put your thinking cap on.

I want to see something really special.

And I'll see you at the golf club on Sunday, Whatshisname.

Bite me, Gnasher. I think I must be dreaming.

So, you've found out that Mr Scrimp wants to close you down?

H-H-How did you know that?

Cos I'm the one who's inventing the jokes for the new store.

-Oh, no!

-Oh, yes!

If I come up with a knockout practical joke,

you'll lose your shop.

If I don't, I won't get me dream job,

and poor Dad won't get to the golf club.

But...but practical jokes are my life.

Imagine never smelling another stink bomb,

never feeling the tingle of a hand buzzer,

never scaring Walter with a jumping spider.

There must be a way out.

Hang on!

Gnasher, get Curly and Pie-Face for a tree-house meeting - top priority!

Yes!

So that's the problem. To put Scrimp off pranks for life,

we need to come up with the mother of all practical jokes.

It's got to be the biggest, best practical joke ever.

What about a mega-loud whoopee cushion?

-Or a super-stinky stink bomb?

-Or a turbo-powered space hopper?

But wait! Imagine if you will not just a whoopee cushion,

not just a stink bomb, not just a space hopper,

but all these things rolled into one bouncy castle!

The Three-In-One!

This is the ultimate, Mr Scrimp -

the greatest of all practical jokes.

Oh! Looks just like an ordinary bouncy castle to me.

-But it's so much more!

-Really?

Presenting the Three-In-One!

One, two, three! Three awesome gags in one.

I see. Well, it sounds good, but I have to see it in action.

All I can say is it would take a brave man to try it out.

A brave man, eh?

Hmm! How about you, Whatshisname?

Oh, no, Mr Scrimp, I really think you should have the honour.

Oh, well, all right. Here goes.

Oh! Oh! My ears! My ears!

-NASALLY:

-As I said, the Three-In-One looks like a bouncy castle,

but it is part whoopee cushion...

Oh! Oh, that smell! It's like rotten eggs and skunks' armpits. Oh!

I feel sick!

It's also part stink bomb.

What's the third part?

Oh, yeah. It's part space hopper.

Help! Aggh!

-Aggh!

-Hello! What's all the commot...?

It was Mr Scrimp! He's out of control!

What a fine display

and not a leaf out of place, eh?

-What the...!

-It wasn't us!

Oh, I can't swim.

-Help me!

-You know what to do, Gnasher.

-Yes!

Agggh! Agggh!

Oh-h! Nobody told me practical jokes

could be this dangerous.

Eugh! The project is off!

-Finished! Finito!

-But it...

No buts, Whatshisname! Oh!

Jokes like this would ruin the company.

Oh, so does that mean my invitation to golf is withdrawn?

Eh? Not at all.

Well, it turns out Scrimp's not going to close me down,

thanks to the Three-In-One,

and you've given me a great idea for a mini version -

the Menace Ball!

Watch, listen and smell!

Oh-h!

Plenty more ideas where that came from, Mr Haha!

What a brilliant day!

Wonder how Dad's enjoying his game of golf?

Keep up, Whatshisname!

Come on, man!

Yes, Mr Scrimp.

Of course, Mr Scrimp.
