History Film / HoneyWeShrunkOurselves

* AdultsAreUseless: A very situational example.
* AmbiguousDisorder: Mitch's [[TechnoBabble "hypokalemic paralysis"]] requires him to take his meds. When he doesn't, Jenny has to force-feed him potassium so he doesn't pass out.

* NeverTrustATrailer: One promo shows Mitch fainting upon seeing seeing his shrunken mom and aunt. Though the movie shows he actually passed out from lack of potassium, and assumed he imagined seeing his mom and aunt.

* RealityEnsues: Wayne apparently has a court order preventing him from using the shrinking machine (which he breaks, naturally). Considering what happened [[Film/HoneyIBlewUpTheKid the last time]], it's understandable.

* WildTeenParty: Of the milder sort, while the parents are shrunk.

* CasualDangerDialouge: When not in mortal danger, the adults make the best of their shrunken perspective, enjoying the miniscule detail in the world and laughing as they ride in the Hot Wheels car.
%% * ChekhovsGun:
** The bad brakes on Diane's car. She assumes the brakes went bad when she hears a weird noise, but waves it off. 20 minutes later, her car rolls backwards out of the driveway, which prevents the kids from noticing their return.
** Mitch's pills. Mitch offhandedly comments that he didn't take them, and mentions that the lack of immediate effects means he's probably fine. He ends up passing out, providing one of the biggest AdultFears in the film.

%% ** The bad brakes on Diane's car.
%% ** Mitch's pills.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Adam and Mitch look at a magazine that Adam thinks would get him in trouble with his dad and that the tiny parents can't see from their angle on the floor. [[spoiler: Wayne crawls up on the magazine after the boys leave and discovers its a regular issue of ''Sports Illustrated.'' Wayne seems nearly as upset as he would have been if it really had turned out to be a Magazine/{{Playboy}}, though not because of what the magazine turned out to be, but because Adam would think he'd be so upset about it. This is what starts Wayne's character growth in this film and makes him start to realize that he needs to let Adam pursue his own interests instead of forcing him into the sciences; his own son is actually afraid of him finding out he's into sports.]]

* HenpeckedHusband: Guess.

* CallBack: Diane and Patti befriend a daddy longlegs, like how the kids in the first movie befriend an ant.

* CreepyCockroach: A truck-sized one tries to eat the parents.

* POVCam: We actually see the shrinking effect from Wayne's POV. Shows up a few times to show things from the tiny parents' perspective, notably during their rollercoaster-like trip through a Hot Wheels set.
* ProductPlacement: The parents ride a Hot Wheels brand car and track to get out of Adam's room. There was even a special edition of the VHS release which included the shark cruiser they ride in.
** The giant stereo Wayne and Gordon use to amplify their voices is Sony brand.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: At the end of the film, after finding the shrunken parents and taking them to the attic to be enlarged, Adam and Mitch discuss the possibility of keeping them tiny and continuing to live free. Thankfully, Jenny quickly talks them out of it.

* SuddenlyShouting: Diane doesn't take being shrunk well.

* TemptingFate: After Wayne and Gordon fall in the onion dip:

''[a ''group'' of girls swarm in and start dipping chips]''

* ChekovsGun: The bad brakes on Diane's car.
** Mitch's pills.

-->'''Gordon:''' Of course, as soon as the kids realize we're gone, they'll be very upset.

-->'''Wayne:''' They're teenage girls, how much could they eat?\\
''[a ''group'' of girls swarm in and dip chips]''
* WhyCouldntYouBeDifferent: Wayne wishes that Adam preferred science to sports. Wayne comes around by the end, though.
* WildTeenParty: Of the milder sort, while the parents are shrunk.

--> '''Wayne:''' Gordon, you're three quarters of an inch tall!

* PapaWolf: Gordon, when he sees the jocks bullying Mitch.
-->"YOU ARE ''DEAD MEAT'', MISTER!"

* CallBack: Diane and Patti befriend a daddy longleg, like how the kids in the first movie befriend an ant.

** While the kids dealt with a {{Scary Scorpion|s}} in the first movie, here the adults run from a cockroach.

* FatBastard: Ricky. He doesn't look it, but when he's threatening Adam in the third film, his stomach precedes him by several inches. The actor wore a FatSuit initially... then in reshoots [[DyeingForYourArt gained 40 pounds for the role]] to make Ricky look fatter all over.

* ICanExplain: PlayedForLaughs in the third movie after Gordon takes it badly when Wayne shrinks the two of them.

* WildTeenParty: Of the milder sort.

** While the kids dealt with a ScaryScorpion in the first movie, here the adults run from a cockroach.

The last movie of the ''Honey, I…'' series, ''Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves'' is a {{Direct to Video}} 1997 film that reprises the role of Creator/RickMoranis as Wayne Szalinski.

* {{Henpecked Husband}}: Guess.

Wayne has shrunken his children. He's blown up his youngest child. Now, the adults get a turn. Wayne accidentally shrinks himself and his friend while trying to keep a prized possession. Then, their respective wives get shrunken. Now they have to figure out how to restore themselves to natural size, as their teenage kids are running amok in the house!

* WildTeenParty: Of the milder sort.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: Severe hypokalemia (low blood potassium) is a little more dangerous than the film makes out, and certainly can't be fixed with a few mouthfuls of banana (and not that quickly). More realistically, you'd need a couple of hours on an IV drip with potassium chloride, and preferably have a heart monitor watching your heart rate, too.

* InformedDisability: Mitch's affliction that requires him to take his meds. When he doesn't, Jenny has to force-feed him potassium so he doesn't pass out.
