Unfortunately, a younger villain, Vector ([[Jason Segel]]), steals the shrink ray Gru was in the middle of stealing, and he needs to get it back. That's when Gru notices how willing Vector is to let orphans selling cookies into his house and ... [[Unsound Effect|lightbulb]]! Gru proceeds to adopt the three orphans: Margo, Edith, and Agnes ([[Miranda Cosgrove]], [[Dana Gaier]] and [[Elsie Fisher]]) to carry out his [[Evil Plan]]
Can Gru [[Defrosting Ice King|learn the importance of family and how to be a good dad]]?
A sequel, predictably named ''[[Despicable Me 2]]'', was released in 2013, followed by ''[[Despicable Me 3]]'' in 2017. In 2016, Gru's yellow minions got [[Minions (film)|their own movie]], which was a [[Prequel]] of sorts to the first film.

== A-E ==
Line 49:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Vector finds out Gru's button the hard way when he {{spoiler|kidnaps the girls.}}
* [[Bigger Bad]]: Although Vector is presented as Gru's primary antagonist, the ''true'' villain of the film is arguably {{spoiler|Vector's father, Mr. Perkins, who finances his exploits and obviously has a great deal of control over him.}}
* [[Big Bad]]: Gru, until his [[Heel Face Turn]] at the climax while saving the girls from Vector.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]
** If you know Spanish, even a few words, you'll know what Gru actually calls Miss Hattie when he tries to flatter her. {{spoiler|She later buys a Spanish-English dictionary and finds out he says, basically, "Your face looks like a donkey." A ''male'' donkey.}} Bonus in that he actually asked her if she spoke Spanish implying that he knew what he was calling her.
Line 100 ⟶ 101:
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Believe it or not, {{spoiler|Gru. The trailers make him out to be an exceptional villain, but in the film, he's kind of incompetent and far too nice to be an effective villain.}} It takes {{spoiler|Vector kidnapping the kids}} for his true potential to show up. Dr. Nefario lampshades this quite a few times.
* [[Curse Cut Short]]: While Vector is playing with the Shrink Ray in the bathroom.
{{quote|'''Vector''': Oh, look at you, a little tiny toilet for little tiny
* [[Cute Kitten]]: Much to Gru's disdain.
* [[
* [[Dance Party Ending]]: {{spoiler|In-canon, even. Interrupting an excerpt from Swan Lake... with what? Something contemporary? A gratuitous rap remix? One better: ''Disco''. Which Gru turns out to be adept at.}} It's the [[Bee Gees]]' song ''You Should Be Dancing'', complete with Gru mimicking [[John Travolta]]'s moves from ''[[Saturday Night Fever]]''.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Margo
Line 115 ⟶ 116:
** Vector [[Austin Powers|wears a loud, ridiculous orange suit, has a dorky hairstyle and glasses, does hip-thrusts when he's excited...]]
* [[Don't Split Us Up]]: [[Averted]]; siblings in foster care are often separated. {{spoiler|Even more of an aversion because the junior novelization says the girls "aren't technically sisters, but they spend all their time together."}}
* [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"]]: Victor... Er, Vector
* [[The Dragon]]: Dr. Nefario, to Gru.
* [[Dramatic Pause]]: Parodied.
Line 161 ⟶ 162:
** The way Vector [[Gun in My Pocket|acts while wielding]] the Shrink Ray seems a bit...[[Compensating for Something|over-enthusiastic]].
** As Vector describes a vector as something with ''direction'' and ''magnitude'', he starts hip thrusting.
** [http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/198/0/5/Find_The_Minion_Kiss_by_Damon1515.jpg This]{{Dead link}}. And one smacks the other away a second later. The same two minions can be seen kissing in the background of another scene...except it's the ''other'' who starts it.
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: Gru wears underpants with smileys, as seen in their escape from Vector's fortress.
* [[Groin Attack]]: Twice from a robotic arm when breaking into Vector's lair, once later on, and a fourth one at the end..
Line 282 ⟶ 283:
*** One of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hocFEDWUe7Q&NR=1 teaser trailers] ended with [[Alfred Hitchcock Presents|Gru's silhouette walking into his own outline]].
** Vector's supervillian name plus his real name (Victor) refer to ''[[Airplane!]]''.
** Gru's logo looks suspiciously like the ''[[
** The shot of Gru
** The scene in which Gru wins the stuffed toy unicorn for Agnes at the amusement park is a reference to ''[[Darkman]]'' and the pink elephant.
** The cheering control room scene matches the [[Apollo 13]] version, albeit with minions
* [[Shown Their Work]]: While Gru is listing the rules, instead of lifting three fingers for the third one, he lifts two and the thumb, that's the
* [[Shrink Ray]]
* [[Sigil Spam]]: Vector's and Gru's logos are everywhere on their houses and equipment. Incidentally, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131127121031/http://www.vsmileshop.com/ take a look at the V-smile logo].
* [[Sinister Schnoz]]: A subversion, that while Gru ''is'' a [[Villain Protagonist|villain]], he's actually a [[Affably Evil|good]] [[Anti-Villain|person]].
* [[Scenery Porn]]:
