{{quote|''"'I'm not happy!' I'm not happy!' [[Angst? What Angst?|Nobody's "happy"!]] Happiness comes in small doses -- it's a cigarette, or a chocolate chip cookie or a five-second orgasm; that's all it is, okay?! You cum, you eat the cookie, you smoke the butt, you go to sleep, wake up and go the fuck to work! That is it, end of fucking list!"''}}
Line 12 ⟶ 11:
Don't mention him around fans of [[Bill Hicks]]. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|Let's leave it at that]].
=== He's appeared in more than 40 films, including: ===▼
{{actorroles}}
* ''[[Ice Age]]''
* ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
----
{{creatortropes}}
* [[Annoying Arrows]]: In ''No Cure For Cancer'' he relates a story about how when he was a kid, his brother and brother's friend once shot him in the head with an arrow. The two of them then proceeded to run away and Denis' father actually ''pulled the arrow out'' before taking him to the hospital at the insistence of his mother.
* [[Author Appeal]]: He does a lot with Boston and/or firefighters, so expect a lot of that whenever he's involved.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "Is it impossible to get a cup of coffee-flavored coffee in this country?"
* [[Eagle Land]]: ''Why We Suck''
* [[Exact Words]]
* [[Fighting Irish]]: And goddamn proud of it too.
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]: ''Life's Gonna Suck''
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[I'm Going to Hell For This]]: A bit on ''No Cure For Cancer''. He's glad Jesus died when he did, because otherwise he would have ended up like Elvis in his 40s. He then performs an extended Jesus-as-Elvis impression, followed by:
{{quote|"I'm going to hell for that bit. ''And you're all coming with me.''"}}
* [[Jerkass]]: How many people view him, and the song "Asshole" is pretty much a celebration of [[Jerkass
* [[Life Imitates Art]]: In one comedy routine, he talked about writing a book: ''Shut The Fuck Up'' by Dr. Denis Leary. Well, he's written a book, and while it's got a different title (''Why We Suck''), the fact that he has an honorary D.F.A. from Emerson College allows him to credit himself as Dr. Denis Leary.
* [[Major Injury Underreaction]]: During ''No Cure for Cancer'' he relates a story about how his father [http://youtu.be/wt-rz6jmmbE nearly severed his thumb with a circular saw] and just said he needed some electrical tape. He also wouldn't let his wife drive him to the hospital.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
* [[The Roast]]: He was the first to be roasted by [[Comedy Central]] and their counterpart to the New York Friar's Club Roast.
* [[Running Gag]]: Almost any time he brings up his late father, expect wood paneling to be brought up, since Mr. Leary was so fond of putting up wood paneling that he even had it on his car.
* [[Shout-Out]]: One of his early MTV promos was essentially a short rant about model [[Cindy Crawford]]. Crawford returned the favor, right down to wearing a similar leather jacket, carrying a lit cigarette, and stalking about while ranting in exactly the same manner as Leary.
* [[Southies]]
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: It's De''n''is, with one N.
