* NiceJobBreakingItHero: J neuralyses Newton at the video store, and gives him an instruction to not live with his mother, as he was a middle-aged man. It is heavily implied (by him calling for his mother while brandishing a shovel) that he kills her to follow this instruction from J.

''Men in Black II'' came out in 2002, and although it was somewhat well-received, it was considered a case of "more of the same" {{sequelitis}}. With K officially retired (with his memory wiped and civilian identity restored) J has been working overtime as the top field agent of [=MiB=]. A powerful and malevolent alien named Serleena returns to Earth looking for "The Light of Zartha," which is tied to a case K was involved with back in the 70's. To get the information they need, they reinstate K and get back to business. Much like the first movie, Will Smith released a tie-in music video entitled "Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)".
----
!!This film provides examples of:
* AdamWesting: Music/MichaelJackson desperately wants to be an Agent.
* AnalProbing: Sci-Fi nerd Newton, upon finding out what J and K actually do, raises the question, "What's up with anal probing?"
** '''BOY,''' '''''MOVE.'''''
* ApatheticCitizens: J is thrown through the window of a New York subway train shortly after attempting to sedate the giant toothed alien monster with a tranquilizer and immediately starts shouting at everyone to evacuate to the next car. The passengers ignore him until a giant toothed alien monster bites a chunk off the car. Once the crisis is resolved and the train limps to a stop in the station, he neuralyzes them and starts chewing them out about this by pointing out that in an actual emergency, they would have been eaten. He then reneuralyzes them once he realizes that he's carried on for far too long, now with a hilarious story requesting that they enjoy using new space-efficient, energy-saving cars.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Serleena murders Ben after he refuses to divulge the location of the Light of Zartha. She also steals some of the pizza from his restaurant.
* AscendedExtra: Frank the Pug and the worms from the first film, having gone from bit characters to supporting ones. This is likely because of the cartoon having given them more popularity.
* BadassGrandpa: Don't mess with Zed, man. He will air-juggle your ass.
* BalloonBelly: Serleena gets one after swallowing the mugger in the park whole, which she manages to get rid of by spitting him back out.
* BallsOfSteel: K is trying to fight off an alien with little success until J points out that that particular alien is impervious to groin attacks...because his balls are on his chin instead. His species is Ballchinian![[labelnote:*]]A hilarious ad-lib, to boot, as some of the other takes identified him as a Godnadineck, Nutchinian, Chinball, Nutthroatean, and Chinsackian. There were likely many others.[[/labelnote]]
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: MichaelJackson. "I could be Agent M!"
* BerserkButton:
** Don't pull on Jeff's flower head, or else he will go into an [[UnstoppableRage immense rampage]] across the city and the subway system.
** Don't mention to K that his wife left him because he spends most of his time stargazing and wondering if there's more going on out there. Also something of a Callback to the first movie where he mentions how he left his girlfriend to become MIB.
* BigBad: Serleena.
* BigLittleMan: Serleena's spacecraft which flies around blowing up planets turns out to be smaller than a dog. And let's not forget how our entire universe is inside an airport locker.
* BigShadowLittleCreature: Serleena landing in a B-movie sci fi spacecraft, which is revealed to be the size of a styrofoam cup.
* BigEater: Serleena's ''entire species'' are implied to be this.
* BitingTheHandHumor: When J sees the intro of the Z-movie about the light of Zartha in film 2, he says, that it "Looks like Spielberg's work." Doubles as SelfDeprecation, since he's also the producer of film 2.
* BuxomIsBetter: Lampshaded by Serleena in this little tidbit of dialogue:
-->'''Serleena:''' Silly little planet. [[IHaveBoobsYouMustObey I could rule the place with the right set of mammary glands.]]
* CallBack: After K regains his memory, the constellation he stares at is Orion.
** The diner J and T go to has a UFO in it. WordOfGod says it's the same UFO that belonged to "Edgar" before it got taken by MIB. It's also a mythology gag to the animated series, where a UFO crashed into a diner, and after neurolizing the owners, J congratulated them on their new decoration.
* CanonImmigrant: Among other shout outs to the cartoon, the deneuralyzer.
* CityOfWeirdos: ''[=MIB=] 2'' had a scene where J can't clear a subway car he just crashed into because everyone dismisses him as just a New York nut. At least they get moving when a giant worm starts eating the car.
* CreatorCameo: BarrySonnenfeld (with his wife and daughter) as the family in the apartment K and J raid for weapons in the sequel.
** Rick Baker, the special effects artist for these films, has a cameo as an MIB agent at immigration. He's the one with a ponytail who's helping explain an alien's disguise.
* CutTheJuice: J ordered the power to the facility be cut in order to cancel Serleena's flight with Laura and the light of Zartha, but the plan ended up proving to be unnecessary after J managed to stop the launch sequence at the last second.
* DeadlyUpgrade: Serleena, after [[spoiler:she infected Jeff]].
* DisneyDeath: Variation. When J attempts to establish a communication channel with Frank, he gives Frank an order, but his transmission was cut inexplicably, leading the worms and Frank (and initially the audience) to think that J and K were shot down and killed by Serleena. However, it later becomes apparent that J and K survived, but the earlier shot only disabled their communications, thus explaining why the transmission ended.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: The beginning of the film shows Sarleena destroying planets she passed by. Even more amazing when the viewers find out that the ship is [[spoiler: only a foot tall]]
* EldritchAbomination: Serleena's true form. Well, a very small one, but still...
* EmpathicEnvironment: It begins to rain at the end of the film, [[spoiler:as the Light of Zartha begins crying as her ship leaves. It ''always'' rains when she cries.]]
* EvilIsPetty: The opening credits.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Takes place mostly in one night.
* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: K, Frank, and Zed all talk about their own sexual experiences with aliens at the end of MIB II to cheer J up after [[spoiler:his LoveInterest was forced to return home]], much to J's disgust.
-->'''J:''' ''(pointing at Frank)'' No advice.
-->'''J:''' ''(pointing at K)'' No talking.
-->'''J:''' ''(pointing at Zed)'' ...'''[[EspeciallyZoidberg HELL]]''' no.
* FanDisservice: Serleena in just her underwear, right after she's eaten someone alive leaving her stomach unrealistically bulging out.
* {{Fanservice}}: Creator/RosarioDawson's presence, though it's kind of dwarfed by having Lara Flynn Boyle playing as an alien that disguises itself as an underwear model in leather. Not so implausible, since III confirms that all of Earth's supermodels are aliens.
* ForgotTheCall: K got tired of working, and asked to be neuralyzed. The first half of the second movie is spent trying to get his memory back due to him knowing a PlotCoupon he also forgot.
* GroinAttack:
** "K, he's a [[MeaningfulName Ballchinian!]]"
** Also heavily [[ImpliedTrope implied]] to be what Frank the Pug (then known as Agent Eff) attempted to do when he was laughed at by a fellow agent.
* HappyEndingOverride: In between movies, K's wife left him and L went back to her old life.
* HilariousOuttakes: Particularly an extended outtake in which director BarrySonnenfeld keeps calling a stand-in by the wrong name, much to the amusement of the actors.
-->'''Sonnenfeld''': Derek, can you try to--
-->'''Will Smith''': Who the fuck is Derek?!
* KillerRabbit:
** Frank.
--->'''Frank:''' Got kids?
--->'''Agent (who was laughing at him):''' No.
--->'''Frank:''' [[GroinAttack Want 'em]]?
--->''[growls, sounds of screaming as he attacks the agent]
** Also, Serleena's initial form, which is a tiny worm/plant thing.
* KillItThroughItsStomach: Poor Jeff...
* LecherousLicking: A mugger licks Serleena's face before she kills him, and later on Serleena sticks her tongue in Agent K's ear.
* LighterAndSofter: To the point of parody. The original comic was much, much darker.
* LosingYourHead: Jeebs
* LukeIMightBeYourFather: It's heavily [[ImpliedTrope implied]] [[spoiler:K is Laura/The Light of Zartha's birth-father.]]
* MandatoryUnRetirement: Kay gets called back because he has information even he doesn't know he has.
* MuggingTheMonster: Serleena is attacked by a mugger just ''one second'' after she takes on the form of an underwear model. Somehow, he managed not to notice the underwear model was a mass of worms and ivy, [[RuleOfPerception presumably because he was offscreen]].
* MythologyGag: When the man reading the newspaper expresses his gladness while reading his newspaper about J and K returning to the MIB headquarters after Serleena locked it down, the headlines state that Satan has returned to Earth. In the original comic of the Men In Black, besides tracking aliens, the MIB also tracked down demons and supernatural entities.
* NaiveNewcomer: K, when J tries to bring him back. J gets exasperated when he keeps poking everything.
* NeverLiveItDown: in-universe, Jay has gotten a reputation of neuralyzing people on a whim, and Zed won't stop chastising him for it.
* NoodleIncident:
** J saved the world from a Crelon invasion.
-->'''K:''' Oh, ''please'', Crelons are the Music/BackstreetBoys of the universe. What'd they do, throw snowballs at you?
** [=MIB=] Customs ends up with an alien corpse in it because of something a rookie agent did.
* OneWingedAngel: Serleena's final takeover of the Subway Worm.
* OrphanedPunchline:
** "Rectum? Damn near killed 'em" by the worms.
** When J was attempting to establish a channel with Frank during their chase by Serenna, Frank the Pug is saying to the Worms with a cigar in his mouth "So I said 'Listen, bitch! If you don't want me to kick your skinny, zone-diet ass, I suggest you turn tail and leave the planet!'"
* ProperlyParanoid: Newton.
* PreMortemOneLiner: J to Serleena: "Your flight's been canceled," although she gets better... temporarily.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis:
** When J asks K [[ItMakesSenseInContext if his mother ever gave him a GameBoy]]:
--->'''K''': [[NotSoStoic WHAT. IS. A]] [[LargeHam GAME BOY]]?!\\
\\
'''J''': WE GOT A ''BUG''! IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM!
* RedHerring: J (and the viewer) are led to believe that the Light of Zartha was Laura's watch. Actually, the watch was a time bomb activated to blow up with enough explosive power to destroy the planet (presumably as a means to avoid the villain from gaining it on Earth). [[spoiler:The ''real'' Light of Zartha was actually Laura herself.]]
* RetiredBadass: K.
* RuleOfPerception: The ropey alien disguises are supposedly InvisibleToNormals, but [=MIBs=] are fully able to spot them. Lampshaded in this movie when freshly-deneuralysed K starts seeing them for himself. We see even more in the third movie.
* SandWorm: Jeff, the subway worm.
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: Arguably averted. Serleena at one point asks for a spacecraft that can travel 300 times the speed of light. To put it into perspective, this speed would get you to Proxima Centauri, our nearest star, in 5.13 days. Still hardly the instant travel across the universe we always see in sci-fi, but at least the writers made an effort.
* SequelNonEntity: Laurel gets mentioned once just to "explain" why she isn't with them.
* SequelReset: The first movie ended with K happily retired, all MIB memories erased and given a chance to start things over with the love of his life. J, meanwhile, became K's replacement and got a new partner of his own in Agent L. The sequel drops L (her absence is merely HandWaved) and brings back the amnesic K. Thing is, once his memories are restored, the same character dynamic from the first movie (despite J having five years of experience) is repeated.
* SexyCoatFlashing: Serleena ''really'' wants to become an underwear model (but not before infesting MIB headquarters).
* ShoutOut: In the aforementioned beatboxing scene, the second of Agent J's beatboxes is from La Di Da Di by Slick Rick.
* StarfishLanguage: J communicates with an alien played by Biz Markie with beat-boxing.
* SummonBiggerFish: While being chased by Serleena, J leads her into the subway tunnels and straight to Jeffrey, who swallows her whole. [[spoiler: It only works temporarily.]]
* SuperMultipurposeRoom: K hid a stash of alien weaponry in his old apartment.
* SwallowedWhole:
** Serleena to a would-be rapist.
** Jeff to Serleena and her ship.
* TheNapoleon: Serleena, technically, given her true form is a little worm.
* ThirtySecondBlackout: When J has to use Jeeb's illegal deneuralyzer to make K remember, a big part of NYC has a blackout because of it.
* ToiletHumour: The deneuralyzer room in the MiB HQ in film 2 is shaped like a toilet bowl. [[spoiler: When Serleena attacks MiB HQ, they are literally "flushed out".]]
* UnstoppableRage: After J's new recruit foolishly tried to pull on Jeffrey (the Subway Worm's) flower, to put it simply, it was extremely P.O.'ed, and started lashing out at everything, including J, and then rampaging across the Subway tunnels. He eventually calms down after J attempts to threaten to blast it if it doesn't calm down, and presumably also due to the tranquilizer that he injected earlier finally going into effect after the slight delay.
* WeaponizedLandmark: The Statue of Liberty. Sort of. It's actually a giant neuralyzer in the torch.
** Also a nod to the animated series episode "The Fmall, Fmall, Fmall World Syndrome", which showed the Empire State Building has a neuralyzer, dubbed "the Big One", built into the lightning rod.
* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: In the original, K's car has the little red button. In this one, J's car has two - one that turns it into a jet, the other deploys a dummy to look like the car is being driven by someone. Used to hilarious effect twice:
-->'''K:''' That come standard? \\
'''J:''' Well, it came with a black dude, but he kept gettin' pulled over.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Scrad and Charlie kind of just... disappear halfway through the film.
* WhiteVoidRoom: The Deneuralyzing Room.
* WhyAmITicking: The [[spoiler:Light of Zartha's]] Watch.
* TheWormThatWalks: Sarleena, at least while in human form.
* WrittenInAbsence: L.
* YouTasteDelicious:
** While the villainess was talking to K she stuck her tongue in his ear. This was actually an improv by Lara Flynn Boyle in an attempt to make Tommy Lee Jones break character. It didn't work.
** These were actually the first words Serleena heard after landing on Earth and assuming a human form, when a would-be mugger licks the side of her face. Her reply?
-->"[[ImAHumanitarian Yeah, you too]]."
* YouWereTryingTooHard: At the pizzeria, when J realizes the photograph is pointing at something, which seems to be another photo pointing at something, which was ultimately... a cabinet full of sardines. K, however, sees the first photo is pointing at a key hanging from the wall.
-->'''K:''' I hope I'm not slowing you down, partner...
* {{Zeerust}}: Jeebs' de-neuralyzer is distinctly less advanced than what was previously shown.
