[@kylemclachlan8651]

Small Might Glenn Howerton specifically changed the name of his character because he wanted to take Dennis far away from who he really is. Hence why he’s Dennis and not Glenn, whereas Rob and Charlie are Mac and Charlie. Sure I read that somewhere.

[@joshmarquis3536]

Glenn Howerton, the actor that plays Dennis, said one of the main influences for the character of Dennis was Patrick Bateman, the main character in American Psycho. Ever since I saw the interview where he revealed this fact, I haven't watched the show the same. If that's the case then the ambiguity of whether or not Patrick Bateman actually killed those people or only imagined it, might be a real part of the show; where we never know whether Dennis is just a sociopath or an actual killer. Good video!

[@johnolmos8670]

Ted Bundt called his serial killer persona the “Entity”, Dennis calls his the “Golden god”. Probably what wasn’t originally intended for his character but I can definitely connect Dennis to Ted Bundy

*Just for clarity: Dennis is NOT a killer. This was just a fan request, but please WATCH THE END OF THE VIDEO: **9:12** - It's just a JOKE and I explain the context. Calm down, there's more important concerns in life. Thank you to those who actually watched the video in it's entire context.*

I think the implication of his character being evil is the joke...but I think at this point...11 seasons in, he might have taken the step of actually being a killer. Dennis killed Brian Lefevre.

It's no real secret that Dennis was based loosely on Bundy. He wears the same hair style, has "tools" in his car, dresses and even looks like him. This video was a neat watch but it's well known by many fans, especially those in America that recall Bundy. Some even speculate that small, subtle cues used for the Dennis character were taken directly from Bundy interviews.

This is a fantastic, fun analysis of Dennis. It's hilarious to see his descent into narcissism and psychotic behaviour. He's inching closer to murder/rape, but it's a comedy show and that it's "the implication" rather than actually doing the act that makes it funny. Great job editing as well, must've taken you ages to select clips and arrange them. Well done!

I always thought there might be an episode in the final seasons (whenever that may be) about Dennis finally coming to light as a serial killer, but you gave an excellent explanation as to why that would totally defeat the joke about his character.

[@fuzzyslippaz324]

I honestly thought after the D.E.N.N.I.S system episode, that the character had to be somewhat influenced or modeled after Ted Bundy. They tried to make Dennis basically a more tense and less educated/bold version of Bundy. From the style of dress to the way he smiles. Just funny you pointed that out.
