Line 3: * [[Bad Boss]]: [[Benevolent Boss\|Gru is a subversion.]] He may test his inventions on his minions, but he remembers their names and treats them relatively well. ** And [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|they absolutely ]]''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|love]]'' [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|him.]] One of them even fanboys when Gru shakes his hand. * [[Crossing the Line Twice]]: Most of the visual gags qualify as a child-friendly version of the trope. A rocket landing on a playground? Not funny. A rocket landing on the spinner thing causing it to spin incredibly fast while the children ''cheer''? Hilarious. ▼ * [[Complete Monster]]: The movie has a lot of villains, most of whom are fairly harmless. {{spoiler\|Miss Hattie, the head of the girls' orphanage}}, however, is NOT harmless. {{spoiler\|Her first action in the movie is to mock Margo, Edith and Agnes' dream of being adopted. She runs the orphanage as a cookie mafia, using the orphans to sell cookies and pocketing the money. Girls who don't sell enough cookies go in the "box of shame". She's cruel, she's petty and, worst of all, [[Karma Houdini\|she gets away with it]].}} ** There's always hope for the sequel. ▲* [[Crossing the Line Twice]]: Most of the visual gags qualify as a child-friendly version of the trope. A rocket landing on a playground? Not funny. A rocket landing on the spinner thing causing it to spin incredibly fast while the children ''cheer''? Hilarious. * [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]/[[Ear Worm]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lJRTeCMvGc&feature=related Pharell Williams's "Despicable Me" is undiluted Cool and Win.] ** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDR27RflTec The film's score isn't too shabby either.] Line 24 ⟶ 22: * [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: {{spoiler\|It's obvious Edith survived the Iron Maiden.}} * [[Memetic Mutation]]: '''"HE'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!"'''

"''WHAAAAAAAAT?''" * [[Moe]]: The girls. * [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Surprisingly for a kids' movie, two. {{spoiler\|Vector when he tries to keep Gru from rescuing Margo from the about-to-explode spaceship, and Miss Hattie when she introduces the "box of shame".}} * [[Tear Jerker]]: The whole scene in which {{spoiler\|the girls are taken back to the orphanage.}} * [[Trailer Joke Decay]]: Unfortunately a lot of it here. * [[The Problem ~~With~~with Licensed Games]]: Happily inverted. The ''Despicable Me'' games for the [[Nintendo DS]] and [[Wii]] are fun puzzle games starring Gru's minions. * [[Ugly Cute]]: The Minions. * [[WTH Casting]]: "Okay, so we have an elderly British professor who's hard of hearing, but serious about his job and does whatever he can to keep our villainous protagonist focused. Which star do we know that has the right voice for that? Peter O'Toole? [[Jeremy Irons]]?"
