Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Problem Child is a 1990 comedy film directed by Dennis Dugan and starring John Ritter. It surrounds the destructive antics of a seven-year-old boy known only as Junior, who has been shuffled from foster home to foster home because he has the social skills of a Tasmanian Devil. He ultimately lands in the hapless custody of Ben Healy’s family, and Hilarity Ensues.This movie received overwhelmingly negative reviews during its theatrical release, and is Dennis Dugan's second worst reviewed film on Rotten Tomatoes, second only to Jack and Jill, but has since received cult status on home video. It was followed by two sequels, Problem Child 2 in 1991, and Problem Child 3: Junior in Love in 1995.There was also an animated television series based on the movies. Its page is here.

Bad Date: Junior has a bit of a problem adjusting to his dad trying to get him a new mom, and as a result sabotages two of his dates. This sets up the Cassandra Truth situation later in the movie where Junior is trying to get his dad not to marry LaWanda Dumore, a Rich Bitch Child Hater who has it in for him.

Butt-Monkey: Primarily LaWanda. But all other Ben's dates take the brunt as well. Mr. Peabody is in several scenes. The School Teacher in one scene, not to mention Junior himself in one scene when he is outsmarted and hosed by Trixie. Ben Healy is in one scene. Big Ben Healy is in one to several scenes as well. Practically anyone under Junior's sly revengeful stunts.

Disproportionate Retribution: Junior's barred from an amusement park ride due to being about a millimeter too short. After he sees Trixie cheat her way in by wearing platform shoes, he decides to tamper with the ride's controls, causing it to spin much too fast. Sure, it only made everyone on the Crazy Dance throw up, but something much worse could have easily happened.

Laser-Guided Karma: Several examples: The Spoiled Brat Lucy only invites Junior so she can get cake, ice cream, and the like says Junior can't participate in the activities and agrees with the girl that says that "He's not a real kid, he's adopted." Junior ruins her party in epic fashion as payback. The little league players who mock Ben and Junior get a well deserved beatdown, and Junior slides under the catcher with the bat for two balls with one strike. Ben sinking his Jerk Ass father's mayoral campaign (See Is This Thing On?).

Not Me This Time: During a puppet show at the school, things suddenly take an insulting turn. Ben is certain Junior's behind it and storms the stage while yelling, but he discovers it was actually Trixie. Then he sees that Junior was sitting in the front row the entire time and just enjoying the show.

Karma Houdini: Junior. Sure, Duke, Corky, and Blade were mean to him, but the way he dealt with them was pretty violent and brutal; especially with Corky. Motivation? Jealousy about the girl! With Corky it is particularly played straight. Duke and Blade were actual bullies who harmed Junior physically multiple times. Corky, while not the nicest kid, never actually harmed Junior yet he was probably injured the most seriously. And what happens to Junior after that? Eats ice-cream with his dad!

New Job as the Plot Demands: Gilbert Gottfried's character, Mr. Peabody, who was an adoption agent in the first film, a principal in the second (and cartoon) and a dentist in the third.

Is This Thing On?
 Problem Child / int_f43c0da0
comment
Is This Thing On?: Shortly before the climax, Ben asks his Jerkass father Big Ben for money to pay the ransom of his kidnapped wife and son while the former is preparing for his Mayor campaign speech. When he turns him down, Ben then asks "Hey dad! Why don't you tell all the voters what you really plan on doing with this town!" and surreptitiously turns on the camera:

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: The Bow-Tie Killer claims he's this. Junior, however, actually plays it straight because he's a nice enough kid if he's treated like a human being.

Magic Plastic Surgery
 Problem Child / int_f4bec3d
comment
Magic Plastic Surgery: Junior tried to avert the wedding of his father and LaWanda by having her get plastic surgery to get the world's biggest nose on the day of the wedding. LaWanda woke up and discovered her new nose. Then, just a few hours later, she reappeared with her original nose and she said that she had some "last-minute double-overtime plastic surgery". So, she had two surgeries on the same body part in the same day with no scars.

Dog Food Diet: Debbie Claukinski's ex-husband Voytek is in his rathole apartment eating Chow Down when Junior calls. Chow Down, which comes in Beef, Chicken, and Horse and made Nippy take a dump three times his size.

Brick Joke: Big Ben's "Millionaire Starter Kit." Little Ben and Junior see a cheesy TV ad for the obvious scam, and later Junior calls Voytek, who's living in squalor with one of the kits sitting on the counter behind him. The gag comes later when Big Ben moves in with them, lamenting that his scheme went bust and he only sold one starter kit.
