* MyGrandmaCanDoBetter: Button-Up Barry is ''not'' a fan of Dr. Digestion's driving.

* MommasBoy: Button-Up Barry, apparently.

* AmbiguousDisorder: There is ''something'' that's afflicted Dick "Dastardly Richards", but it's left ambiguous. The fact that he thinks that ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' was a documentary might has something to do with it.
-->'''Dick:''' I would go to a doctor, but I-- I'm-- I'm just ''scared'' to hear what he has to say, y'know. That's why I asked you about it.\\
'''Barry:''' That is just... ''grim'', pal.

* AnimalStereotypes: The rats are sneaky and devious (if not always subtle) villains, and fear only the Cat Police, who are cool-headed, competent, and [[spoiler: possibly evil space aliens]].

--> '''Police''': Be careful though, there's apparently a giant rat around.
* ABirthdayNotABreak: Apparently, the movie took place during Dr. Digestion's birthday. While this allows him to drive the car, he gets killed on the same day. [[spoiler: The world explodes too, but he's not alive to worry about that.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Dr. Digestion, after watching the Giant Rat kill and eat his boss, notes that it reminds him of his favorite movie, [[BlandNameProduct The Movie]], [[OffhandBackhand nonchalantly kills the Giant Rat when it tries to eat him too]], and then goes back to wondering if maybe ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'' shouldn't be his favorite movie instead. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him, the rats have a backup king]].

-->'''Dr. Digestion''': [[NonSequitur It's my birthday!]]

-->'''Dick Dastardly''': Hey, you... You just... You're running over a guy right now. ''Are you fucking serious?''

-->'''Giant Rat II''': (grows to giant size) Now I get to be the giant rat, cool, surprise! (mauls Dr. Digestion)

-->'''Dick "Dastardly" Richards''': Ladies and gentleman of the jury, may I have the attention of the class!

--> '''Barry:''' Remind me, the next time we do this, I'm getting my nan to drive.

--> '''Barry:''' Ah, fuck this, I'm off!

-->'''Giant Rat''': Hello sir, welcome to the Rat Café. [[VerbalBackspace There's no rats here]]. There's just, [[HesitationEqualsDishonesty uh]], hamburgers.

-->'''Dick''': I would go to a doctor, but I-- I'm-- I'm just ''scared'' to hear what he has to say, y'know. That's why I asked you about it.\\
'''Barry''': That is just... ''grim'', pal.

* KillEmAll: By the time [[spoiler:the Giant Rat II is defeated]], [[spoiler:Gerrard, Dick "Dastardly" Richards, Giant Rat I, and Dr. Digestion]] have all been slain. Then the story takes a step further by [[spoiler:having the entire Earth blow up, killing off the surviving cast]]. Despite this, [[UnexplainedRecovery everyone is alive and well in the sequel]].

* FamousLastWords:
** "Everybody, calm down. I'm just a clo-" The Clown, assuming he wasn't knocked out.
** "Noooooooooo!" Giant Rat I. [[UncertainDoom Maybe]].
** "You don't need to know about what I had for breakfast, alright? Just lets talk about the deal." [[spoiler:Movie Executive. [[SubvertedTrope He survives]].]]
** "The infiltration was a success!" [[spoiler:Parasite Cat]]

** "Not so fast! You stand before [[spoiler:Gerrard, guardian of the treasure chest of the Mayan temple]], and I will make sure to gr- Hey! Hey, what- What are you doing? Hey- (gibberish)" [[spoiler:Gerrard]]
** "Ah, fuck this, I'm off!" [[spoiler:Button-Up Barry/Boo. He dies a few minutes later via EarthShatteringKaboom.]]
** "Alright. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, I like rats. There's nothing bad with rats, but let me tell you something; over my dead body are you getting this treasure." [[spoiler:Dick "Dastardly" Richards/Jerma]]
** "No, my favorite movie's {{WesternAnimation/Frozen|2013}}. I like Elsa and Anna. Ok, now I kill you." [[spoiler:The Giant Rat I]]
** "Wow, that's great pick choice for favorite-est movie, I wonder if I have to pick that now." [[spoiler:Dr. Digestion/Star_]]
** "Absolutely, Sergeant, you've got it, absolutely, we'll be taking off now, thank you for you're continued work." [[spoiler:Sargent Pickles' Partner. He dies a minute later via EarthShatteringKaboom.]]
** "What? Why would I be wearing a- What the fuck?!" [[spoiler:Sargent Pickles. He dies a minute later via EarthShatteringKaboom.]]
** "Boss, we've got big problems; the Cat Police are here!" [[spoiler: Small Rat.]]
** "Are you kidding me right now?! Cat Police?! Get us the fuck out of here! Drive the car! Get us out! Let's speed it up! We gotta get the fuck out of here! [[{{Angrish}} (gibberish) the Cat Police! (gibberish)! I did (gibberish)!]] I! ''I!'' Geh..." [[spoiler:Giant Rat II, either from the impact of falling off the police car, or from the EarthShatteringKaboom]]
** "Good job, [[spoiler:Cat Police. You did it again; you've saved the world. And that's what we do as Cat Police]]. We make the world a [[KilledMidSentence better-]]" [[spoiler:Sargent [=ScritchyScratch=]]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Dr. Digestion, after watching the Giant Rat kill and eat his boss, notes that it reminds him of his favorite movie, [[BlandNameProduct The Movie]], [[OffhandBackhand nonchalantly kills the Giant Rat when it tries to eat him too]], and then goes back to wondering if maybe Disney/{{Frozen}} shouldn't be his favorite movie instead.

* TerribleTrio: Dick "Dastardly" Richards, Button-Up Barry, and Dr. Digestion are three thieves of conflicting personalities that attempt to steal the Mayan Treasure. When they encounter the Giant Rat, [[ScrewThisImOutOfHere Barry runs away]], [[SingleStrokeBattle Dick "Dastardly" Richards is slain without a fight]], and Dr. Digestion only takes one casualty before dying.

* AmbiguousEnding: During the final scene, where the Giant Rat [[spoiler:flushed the Noah's Ark Toothbrush down the 'Mount Doom' toilet, three action figures of Dick Richard, Gerrard, and Sergeant Scritchy-Scratch are seen on the floor, with the clear implication that everything that has happened, including both ShowWithinAShow reveals, was just the Giant Rat role-playing with himself]]. Since the movie ends shortly afterwards, we have no further implication if that's truly the case.

* ComicallySmallDemand: Dick "Dastardly" Richards was about to sell the Noah's Ark Toothbrushes to the Cat Police, for a measly twenty dollars per brush.

* FusionDance: [[spoiler:The Cat Police transform into their true form by fusing with each other. Even the car joins in with the fusing]]. They also planned to have the Giant Rat fuse with them if he handed over the Noah's Ark Toothbrush, but the Giant Rat refused.

* AbsenteeActor: Dr. Digestion from the first movie is absent, which is notable mainly because [[spoiler:Dick "Dastardly" Richards and Button-Up Barry are well and alive again]].

* CreatorsApathy: InUniverse, the movie executive admits he doesn't mind if the sequel of the Rat Movie is terrible, since "as long as we [[OnlyInItForTheMoney sell the merchandise and keep the suits happy]], who cares about the subject matter?".

* FusionDance: Naturally, [[DefiedTrope it doesn't happen]], but if the Giant Rat surrendered the Noah's Ark Toothbrush to the Cat Police, the latter would have fused their DNA with the former. The officer that told the Giant Rat this isn't bluffing, as [[spoiler:The Giant Skeleton, a fusion of multiple Cat Police officers]] shows.

* VocalEvolution: As oppose to the cheery voice in the first movie, the Cat Police officer speaks in a deep and monotonous voice, reflecting the Cat Police's new characterization as [[AliensAreBastards evil aliens]].

** "Not so fast! You stand before [[spoiler:Garon, guardian of the treasure chest of the Mayan temple]], and I will make sure to gr- Hey! Hey, what- What are you doing? Hey- (gibberish)" [[spoiler:Garon]]

** "Absolutely, Sergeant, you've got it, absolutely, we'll be taking off now, thank you for you're continued work." [[spoiler:Fat Cop. He dies a minute later via EarthShatteringKaboom.]]
** "What? Why would I be wearing a- What the fuck?!" [[spoiler:Monkey Face Cop/Sargent Pickles. He dies a minute later via EarthShatteringKaboom.]]

** "Good job, Cat Police. You did it again; you've saved the world. And that's what we do as Cat Police. We make the world a [[KilledMidSentence better-]]" [[spoiler:Sargent [=ScritchyScratch=]]]

* MixedMetaphor
-->'''Dick Dastardly Richards''': Ladies and gentleman of the jury, may I have the attention of the class!

* ActionSurvivor: Despite being in the center of the conflict between the dogs and cats, the Giant Rat never attacks anyone during the movie. He does threaten the Cat Police, but he flees when they [[spoiler:turn into a Giant Skeleton]].

* PutOnABus: Dr. Digestion from the first movie is absent, which is notable mainly because Dick Dastardly Richards is well and alive again.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Button-Up Barry decides he's had enough of it when the Rats get a hold of Garod, and exits stage left.

* BackFromTheDead: None of the deaths in the last movie stick. [[spoiler: The Earth]] is back to normal and [[spoiler: Dick "Dastardly" Richard and Garod]] are still alive.
* BigDamnHeroes: Garod the Guardian comes in towards the end to stop the Cat Police. [[spoiler:It doesn't stick. Both times.]]

** "I will hold him off for as long as I can! Take that!" [[spoiler:Garod]]

* HeelFaceTurn: For some unexplained reason, the Rats are now the heroes and Garod is on their side.
* HeroicSacrifice: Garod lets the [[spoiler:Giant Skeleton]] take him so that the Giant Rat can get the toothbrush and bring it to Mount Doom.

* RuleOfThree: All three parts of the movie end with the Giant Rat flushing something down the toilet. The first one ends with him taking the Clown and trying to bring him into the toilet on the way out. The second one ends with him stealing the Noah's Ark Toothbrush during the battle between the cats and dogs, brushing his teeth with it, then flushing it down the toilet. The third one ends with him taking the Noah's Ark Toothbrush on Garod's command, bringing it to Mount Doom (In reality, just the bathroom), then flushing it down the toilet again.

* AllThereInTheManual: Dr. Digestion and Button-Up Barry's names were revealed in [[https://www.twitch.tv/jerma985/clip/HealthyMildCarabeefTBCheesePull a March 2020 Livestream]]

* ABirthdayNotABreak: Apparently, the movie took place during the Blue Thief's birthday. While this allows him to drive the car, he gets killed on the same day. [[spoiler: The world explodes too, but he's not alive to worry about that.]]
* CloudCuckooLander: Star_'s character the purple/blue thief, big time. Also the fat cop, who cannot stop talking about food and seems to have only the most tenuous grasp on the basics of his profession.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The purple thief, after watching the Giant Rat kill and eat his boss, notes that it reminds him of his favorite movie, [[BlandNameProduct The Movie]], [[OffhandBackhand nonchalantly kills the Giant Rat when it tries to eat him too]], and then goes back to wondering if maybe Disney/{{Frozen}} shouldn't be his favorite movie instead. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for him, the rats have a backup king]].
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Star_'s character. Things tend to explode around him when he drives.
-->'''Blue Thief''': [[NonSequitur It's my birthday!]]

** "Wow, that's great pick choice for favorite-est movie, I wonder if I have to pick that now." [[spoiler:Blue Theif/Star_]]
** "Absolutely, Sargent, you've got it, absolutely, we'll be taking off now, thank you for you're continued work." [[spoiler:Fat Cop. He dies a minute later via EarthShatteringKaboom.]]

* MommasBoy: Boo's scarf-wearing character, apparently.
--> Remind me, the next time we do this, I'm getting my nan to drive.

* OnlySaneMan: Boo's character comes across as this.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: Boo's character decides he's had enough of it when the Rats get a hold of Garod, and exits stage left.
--> Ah, fuck this, I'm off!

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Jerma's character doesn't trust Boo's not to screw up the heist and calls out Star_'s for his bad driving, Boo's doesn't particularly like either of them, and Star_'s... is too dumb to really care about them one way or the other.

* AmbiguousDisorder: There is ''something'' that's afflicted Dick Dastardly Richards, but it's left ambiguous. The fact that he thinks that ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' was a documentary might has something to do with it.
-->'''Dick Dastardly Richards''': I would go to a doctor, but I-- I'm-- I'm just ''scared'' to hear what he has to say, y'know. That's why I asked you about it.\\
'''Dick's Partner''': That is just... ''grim'', pal.

* ComicallySmallDemand: Dick Dastardly Richards was about to sell the Noah's Ark Toothbrushes to the Cat Police, for a measly twenty dollars per brush.

* GainaxEnding: There's ''two.'' First when [[spoiler:the Giant Rat flushes the Noah's Ark Toothbrush down the toilet after brushing his teeth with it in the film Dick Dastardly Richards and his partner were watching]], and then, [[spoiler:the revelation that the events of the film's last third might have been just a game the Giant Rat played by himself. And then he flushes the toothbrush down the toilet again.]]

* PutOnABus: The blue thief from the first movie is absent, which is notable mainly because Dick Dastardly Richards is well and alive again.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: When the Giant Rat confronts the Cat Police, Dick and his partner both decide to high-tail it out of there before the situation escalates.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Dick Dastardly Richard is still alive in this movie, despite being killed by the rats in the first movie. [[spoiler:That's not even getting into the world itself.]]
