Dennis is the secondary antagonist of Nickelodeon's 11th feature film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, the first film adaptation of Nickelodeon's animated TV show SpongeBob SquarePants.

He is a sadistic, homicidal and ruthless bounty hunter who was hired by Plankton to kill SpongeBob and Patrick and prevent the two from finding King Neptune's crown, which was taken by the Cyclops to Shell City. He later became a receptionist member of the League of E.V.I.L.

In the movie, he was voiced by Alec Baldwin, who also played Fred Frenger Junior in Miami Blues, Jed Hill in Malice, Nick Kudrow in Mercury Rising, Mark Cordell in The Juror, Donald Trump in Saturday Night Live, Makunga in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Kennebrew Beauregard in BlackKk Klansman, Blake in Glengarry Glen Ross, and Larry Quinn in The Cat in the Hat. In the video game, he was voiced by Fred Tatasciore, who also played The Mawgu. In the TV series, he is voiced by Clancy Brown, who also voices Mr. Krabs in the same series.

Description[]

Appearance[]

Dennis is a tall, muscular, and slender fish with olive green skin. He usually wears a black cowboy-type hat, a gray shirt, a black vest with the word "DENNIS" on his back, a pair of silver shoulder pauldrons, a right-hand fingerless spiked glove, a pair of black sunglasses, a red neckerchief which covers his mouth, black trousers, a dark gray utility belt with a skull symbol, and a pair of black boots with spikes underneath. When Dennis is crushed by the Cyclops, his clothes are damaged and ragged. Under his broken shades he has slightly bloodshot eyes with black irises, as well as a jawline of large and pointy teeth, implying him to be a fish of predatory nature. His appearance was inspired by various motorbike gang members.

In Captain Pipsqueak, Dennis retained his appearance. However, he wore a brown cowboy hat and blue sunglasses.

Personality[]

Dennis is portrayed as a fearmongering, ruthless, cold-hearted and homicidal sadist who never shows mercy towards his targets. He is a vituperative and bloodthirsty assassin who supposedly tries to slaughter SpongeBob and Patrick and prevent them from bringing the crown back to King Neptune. Despite this, he's ready to let his victims go if they're able to bribe him such as when he grabs SpongeBob's money and says "It's gonna take a lot more than five...", which shows that he is willing to let them go but it is unknown what the exact amount is because he noticed that SpongeBob gave him Goofy Goober Dollars which are obviously not currency. He's also murderous since he says "Dennis always gets his man!", which implies that Dennis successfully killed all of his previous victims.

Despite his sadism, Dennis sometimes presents himself as a professional. Not only is he ready to spare his targets if they pay him an unknown sum of money, but he is somewhat affable when not angry. However, he generally only does this because as a hitman, he must present himself as a normal being to avoid detection. He proves that he is more than willing to murder people who aren't his targets if they cross him. He seems to show some slight respect to his victims such as when he says that SpongeBob has guts after he jumped to David Hasselhoff's other leg. He is also capable of being afraid, as shown when he witnessed Man Ray blasting the Tattletale Strangler with a ray gun.

Powers and Abilities[]

Dennis is an experienced bounty hunter, claiming to having always succeeded in capturing his targets. He is strong enough to rip the mouths off of others, catapult a heavy thug high into the air with a single punch, and even travel along the ocean while still stuck to a boot. He's very durable too, having survived getting stepped on by a human, and is quite fast, having caught up to SpongeBob without him noticing. He can also grow a mustache instantly on command. For equipment, Dennis had a motor-bike which he was proficient in riding, boots with retractable spikes on the bottoms and a knife.

In the video game, he had a multitude of knives to throw at his opponent and once used SpongeBob as a bat.

Biography[]

Past[]

Dennis's past is unknown, but he was a infamous bounty hunter who claims to have always succeeded in hunting down his targets. Plankton had apparently heard of him and prepared to hire him when the time arrived.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie[]

After Plankton had stolen King Neptune's crown and framed Mr. Krabs for it, SpongeBob and Patrick volunteered to retrieve the crown from the forbidden land of Shell City in exchange for Mr. Krabs' life. Afraid that they might succeed at this and expose him as the real thief, Plankton contacts Dennis and assigns him the mission of locating and eliminating the duo.

Dennis first appears in the film riding hard on SpongeBob's trail. Just on the outskirts of Bikini Bottom, he inspects left behind sesame seeds from the Patty Wagon and the two gasoline workers insult his hat. Angered by this, he literally pulls their mouths off before resuming his search for SpongeBob and Patrick. He then follows the duo's trail to the Thug Tug, where he finds that SpongeBob and Patrick blew some bubbles before causing a fight. As he blows a bubble to verify that SpongeBob and Patrick were there, Dennis meets up with Victor and his thugs, who threaten him for blowing a bubble, but Dennis just punches Victor into the Thug Tug, sinking it before leaving to find his prey. He is then seen riding through a road littered with the bones left behind by the Frogfish, crushing one of the skulls in his hand.

SpongeBob and Patrick first encounter Dennis after they had managed to escape a monster-infested trench. He informs them that he had been hired to kill them, but they laugh it off while still under the illusion that they are men (on account of Mindy tricking them that she made them older with her "Mermaid Magic" by putting seaweed on their lips to resemble mustaches). Dennis then reveals the lie by removing their fake mustaches, making them lose confidence and become afraid. When SpongeBob asks why Dennis wants to kill him and Patrick, Dennis explains Plankton hired him to do so, and in his overconfidence, he accidentally reveals to his victims that Plankton was the one who stole the crown and sent it to Shell City. He realizes his mistake but figures it doesn't matter due to what he was about to do to them anyway. Dennis then lifts up his foot to crush the duo with his "big" spike boot, laughing maniacally as he is about to murder them, only to be crushed by the Cyclops' "bigger boot".

After the events at Shell City, SpongeBob and Patrick escape and ride on the backside of David Hasselhoff, who speedily swims through the ocean in order to send them back to Bikini Bottom. During the middle of the swim, SpongeBob and Patrick see the boot of the Cyclops that he stepped on Dennis with. It stops behind his foot and lifts back to show Dennis, who is squished into a green pulp like Plankton always does when somebody steps on him. Dennis then detaches from the boot and onto Hasselhoff, revealing that he is still alive. Patrick prepares to stand his ground, but Dennis knocks the starfish away and then tries to kill SpongeBob. After failing to get away from Dennis, SpongeBob attempts to bribe the assassin by offering five Goober Dollars, but Dennis wasn't fooled by the childish currency and grabs SpongeBob by the throat. The latter then offers some bubbles liquid for him, and the bubbles blow into the hitman's eyes, making him to toss away SpongeBob. After Patrick manages to catch his friend, the enraged Dennis then corners the duo on Hasselhoff's heel. As Dennis prepares to crush SpongeBob and Patrick with his cleated boot as he planned, he suddenly hears the honk of a boat's horn. Dennis turns around to see, to his horror, Hasselhoff swimming straight towards a catamaran. Dennis is struck by the catamaran and is knocked off. His fate remains unknown.

TV series[]

Dennis makes a non-physical cameo in a wanted poster in the SpongeBob episode "Call the Cops".

He later appears in the episode "Captain Pipsqueak" as a receptionist member of E.V.I.L., which marks his first physical appearance in the TV series.

SpongeBob: Uh, that, sir, is five Goober Dollars. Legal tender at any participating Goofy Goober- [Dennis tosses the dollars aside and grabs SpongeBob by the throat] I got bubbles! Fun at parties! [The wind sprays soapy bubbles into Dennis' eyes]
Dennis: MY EYES! [Dennis throws SpongeBob as he doubles over in pain and SpongeBob screams]

SpongeBob: Thanks, buddy! [Dennis appears with his left spiked boot over the duo] Uh, thanks a lot.
Dennis: THAT'S IT! I'M THROUGH MESSIN' AROUND! SEE YA LATER, FOOLS! [boat honks; Dennis looks behind and sees it incoming] AHH- [hits boat as the duo look on]
Patrick: ...See ya.
~ Dennis' villainous breakdown and last words before being hit by a catamaran to his presumed demise, saving SpongeBob and Patrick yet again.

Trivia[]

  • Despite being hired by Plankton, Dennis was never seen interacting with him on-screen throughout the movie.
  • Dennis can breathe outside of water without any trouble, although this could be because he was under the Cyclops' boot for some time and the boot sped through the water, thus giving Dennis more moisture.
  • Alec Baldwin accepted to play Dennis because his children were fans of the series.
