History WesternAnimation / DespicableMe2

* BaldOfAwesome: In-universe, Lucy sees Gru this way.

* WeddingFinale: The film ends with [[spoiler:Gru and Lucy]] getting married.

A {{prequel}}/{{spinoff}} feature film titled ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'' starring the little yellow henchmen was released on July 10, 2015. ''Minions: The Rise of Gru'' is scheduled to be released on July 3, 2020.

* BlueIsHeroic: Lucy wears a turquoise dress under a turquoise longcoat and drives a blue car.
** Despite being GoodIsNotNice, the AVL submarine is lit with blue light and is mainly blue inside.

* RealityEnsues:
** Gru has quit villainy to become a jelly businessman. However, becoming a successfully jelly businessman doesn't happen overnight and the first batch he creates is terrible.
** Also, jelly that has ''every kind of berry in it'' is going to taste awful.
** Gru is recruited by the AVL to help them catch a villain, however no one in the AVL (sans Lucy) wants to work with him because of his "checkered past". An understandable reaction since someone with a criminal history often can't be trusted.
** Gru's suspicions over Eduardo (while right, albeit for the wrong reasons) was not warranted by Ramsbottom for two reasons -- One, there was no evidence to suspect him. Two, Gru and Lucy have just found strands of the serum in Floyd's store.
** [[spoiler: In a refreshing way. Gru and Lucy do fall in love and get married, but more realistically with "147 dates" in between, showing kids that even what seems like a solid coupling at first glance could still use some time to mature; 147 dates is at least half a year. Plus, Lucy could become better acquainted with the girls, Minions, and Marlena.]]
** [[spoiler:Many spent the entire movie wondering how Gru and Lucy will kiss with [[GagNose those noses]]. This is delightfully lampshaded.]]

* NotSoDifferent: The men at the base in the opening scene, with their yellow parkas, [[AsLongAsItSoundsForeign nonsense language]] and slapstick poker game evoke the minions very much.

* {{Mondegreen}}: The first song the Minions are singing in the final scene ([[spoiler:Gru and Lucy's wedding]]) is actually "I Swear" by All-4-One, but has been dubbed "Underwear" by the fans thanks to how the chorus starts.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Gru's weird mutant dog Kyle usually freaks out everyone who encounters him the first time; in the first film even Gru himself was wary around his pet. Then [[spoiler:Mutant!Kyle]] shows up at Gru's house and makes Kyle flee for his life the moment they lay eyes on each other.

** When Gru first meets Lucy when she kidnaps him to recruit him for the AVL, he attempts to use his freeze ray on her, giving his signature shout of "Freeze Ray!" but she instantly counters that with a flamethrower, giving no reaction. She then advises Gru to announce his weapons after he fires them before using her lipstick taser on him with a lovely shout of "Lipstick taser!"[[spoiler: Later, in the final battle, when none of Gru's weapons are working on El Macho's mutated form, he then spots the lipstick taser in his coat pocket and uses it on El Macho, defeating him in an instant.
-->'''Gru:''' Lipstick taser!\\

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When Lucy first meets Gru, she greets him with a cheery "Hi!", then initially presents her ID badge upside-down (before flipping it the right way up), before seriously telling Gru he has to go with her. Gru tries to use his freeze ray on her, only for Lucy to counter it with her flamethrower, tell him it's better to call his attacks ''after'' performing them, then uses her lipstick taser on him, calling the attack while it's happening. This scene shows that while Lucy is an {{Adorkable}} GenkiGirl, she's also a skilled agent.
