Villains' Defeats

• Gavin, Wiggins and Ratcliffe: Flee off in fear because the Guardians play Sabotage and get arrested.
• Carlos: Gets killed by Bernard and the gang and dies.
• Prince John: Is crushed by a rock at the happy ending of the film.
• Smek: Gets hit on the head by Toto, is banished from Brendam and is unseen again in the film.

TV.Tropes

• Apocalypse Wow: The destruction of the "Brendam" universe by Carlos is visually stunning.
• Big "NO!": At the beginning, Bernard lets one out do to his reaction to finding that Lovelace is naughty.
• Big "YES!": Carlos lets one fly while discussing his evil plan.
• Bittersweet Ending: Carlos has been defeated, Prince John is redeemed (probably), and the people of Bernard's hometown are safe, but Bernard's town is destroyed, Zig Zag may never revert to Bruce Banner ever again, and the Guardians hold an accolade for Bernard, who is honored for being am honorary Guardians.
• Book Ends: "I Like to Move it" is used as Bernard's accolade song at the end and the first song in the end credits and it is played at the beginning where Bernard gets ready for the day.
• Dance Party Ending: The movie ends on Bernard's accolade reception in which he agrees to become a member of the Guardians.
• Disney Death: Lovelace is killed by Carlos with Obi-Wan when he tries to fight Carlos in the climactic scene, but turns up alive and well congratulating Bernard.
• Early Installment Weirdness: The first film where changes of the characters. Here are some examples:
  • Joe talks too much and his voice sounds different.
  • Zig Zag becomes good and his voice is deep. He became bad during the climax of the original film.
  • Toto's voice is slightly higher-pitched and his personality changes.
• Final Battle: Bernard, Olivia, Toto, Joe, Zig Zag, and Prince John fighting Carlos and his army of undead to buy time for the Asgardian civilians to flee. It ends with the Guardians killing Carlos by destroying his lair.
• Instant Costume Change: Carlos seems to magically change into the clothing that suits Brendam in an instant. We don't see it happening - he just passes behind things and emerges in the new outfit, even though he couldn't possibly have had time to change into it.
• Pass the Popcorn: Toto takes a seat and grabs some popcorn as the Guardians get ready to destroy Carlos and his henchmen.
• The Power of Rock: The Guardians of Brendam use the Beastie Boys as a radio jamming signal to, well, sabotage Carlos.
• "YEAH!" Shot: The movie ends with one of these and comes to the epilouge.
