Adding tropes, tropes are not to be hidden under spoiler tags.
* BangBangBANG: Downplayed in the finale - while Rell flinches in pain and rubs his ear multiple times when a gun goes off right next to his ear during the chase scene in the end, he doesn't seem to suffer anything beyond a momentary pain a few seconds after the gun goes off.
* ChekhovsSkill: Clarence’s actual job is as a corporate team-builder, and he uses some of his techniques to teach members of the Blips how to handle themselves in their positions. [[spoiler: In the climactic shootout, they use what he taught to win in a showdown where they were both outnumbered and heavily outgunned. They all survive, in fact.]] Also, early on, Rell is shown teaching Keanu to scratch at his ex-girlfriend, who seriously hurt him. [[spoiler: Keanu later leaps at the face of a gang leader that has Rell at gunpoint.]]
* ContrivedCoincidence: For as big as Los Angeles County is, the final chase and fight ends up bringing the film’s climax literally to Clarence’s front lawn, right as Hannah and Spencer return from their trip.

* CuteKitten: Let's all face facts - that is one sweet and adorable kitten.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Hi-C is very cold in pointing out that she's never seen Clarence and Rell before, and doubts they're actually in the drug trade. [[spoiler: Given that she's probably had to learn all the players, big and small, of the local operation as part of her police cover, she knows full well that the two are faking it.]]
* GuiltyPleasures: Clarence is a ''huge'' fan of Creator/GeorgeMichael, which Rell uses as proof of how lame he is. [[spoiler: When Clarence puts on his music while waiting for Rell and Hi-C to do the drug deal, George Michael comes on, and he manages to convince the gangsters with him that George Michael is actually cool, to the point where Stitches actually gets a George Michael tattoo later.]]

* InfantImmortality: Keanu gets into some pretty difficult situations, but he never even gets a scratch on him. Somewhat justified in that all of the humans like him and are protective of him, but he manages to avoid all stray fire and accidents on top of all that despite the dangers around him.

''Keanu'' is a 2016 film by [[Series/KeyAndPeele Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele]], about two men (Rell, played by Peele, and Clarence, played by Key) looking to reclaim their [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter incredibly cute cat]] from some gangsters that stole him. To do so, they pose as drug dealers, trying to earn the favor of the gang's leader. Along the way, they run afoul of a drug cartel and two [[SilentAntagonist silent psychopaths]], all while trying to keep their activities from interfering with their normal lives.
----
!!This film contains examples of the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Ice-T definitely qualifies, being the sole female member of Cheddar's gang.
* AllGirlsLikeBadBoys: At the beginning of the film, there's some clear tension in Clarence's marriage as his wife goes off with his daughter and another (married) man for a weekend retreat. As it turns out, what Clarence's wife wanted was some excitement in their relationship, and the more he attempts to cover up his activities, the more "excited" she gets. [[spoiler: By the end of the film, when Rell and Clarence are being cornered by the police at Clarence's house, his wife ''interrupts the arrest in progress'' to go upstairs to the bedroom and have sex with him.]]
* BecomingTheMask: Initially, Rell and Clarence are just posing as hardcore gangsters to get their cat. Over time, though, they learn to be as tough as they act. Mostly.
** [[spoiler: In the end, when they wind up in prison, they're actually pretty well respected because they managed to kill the Dresden brothers, who had been terrorizing the city for some time.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: It's actually mostly sweet, but Rell and Clarence's actions ''were'' illegal, and so they had to spend six months in prison. Clarence's relationship with his wife is much improved, though, and Rell is now going out with Ice-T.]]
* TheCameo: Creator/AnnaFaris shows up as the client that Rell has to sell drugs to in order to get Cheddar's respect. [[spoiler: She's [[FakingTheDead apparently killed by Hi-C]], although it all turns out to have been a part of Hi-C's sting operation.]]
** [[spoiler: Creator/KeanuReeves himself also shows up, voicing the cat of the same name, during Clarence's MushroomSamba.]]
* CutenessOverload: Rell's funk over his girlfriend breaking up with him is cured instantly the moment he finds Keanu. Pretty much everyone else has the same reaction to the kitten as well.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Rell and Clarence pretend to be drug dealers so they can get Keanu back. Initially, they don't fit in very well, but [[BecomingTheMask they learn to adapt.]]
* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Okay, so ''no one'' wants to hurt the kitten (thankfully), but Cheddar does pull a relatively minor version of this when he asks Rell and Clarence to do a drug deal to prove they're who they say they are. Of course, they go along with it.
** [[spoiler: And later on, when they try to pin their attempt to walk off with Keanu on Hulka, Cheddar asks them to kill Hulka. That time, though, they refuse.]]
* IronicNickname: Discussed with regards to Cheddar. As Rell points out, [[FluffyTheTerrible the less threatening a gangster's nickname, the more dangerous they probably are.]] And, in Cheddar's case, [[PsychopathicManchild, he's not wrong.]]

* MushroomSamba: Clarence takes a hit from a pipe thinking it's just plain weed. Instead it turns out to be the "holy shit" from the earlier drug deal, and this ensues.
* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: Thankfully.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[spoiler: Even though Anna Kendrick looked pretty bad there, it turned out it was all an act.]]
* PeripheryDemographic: Clarence is a ''huge'' fan of Creator/GeorgeMichael, which Rell uses as proof of how lame he is. [[spoiler: When Clarence puts on his music while waiting for Rell and Ice-T to do the drug deal, George Michael comes on, and he manages to convince the gangsters with him that George Michael is actually cool, to the point where Trunk actually gets a George Michael tattoo later.]]
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Averted. Rell's girlfriend broke up with him before the events of the movie because his life wasn't going anywhere. And Rell's reaction- attaching her photo to Keanu's scratching post- is spiteful, but not particularly unhealthy.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: There's a reason everyone seems to be fighting over this cat.
* [[Spoiler:UndercoverCopReveal]]: [[spoiler: Ice-T turns out to be a cop who was trying to nail Cheddar and his gang, the Blips.]]
* TheVoiceless: The two silent killers that perpetrated the slaughter in the beginning of the film, known [[AllInTheManual in the script]] as Oil and Smoke Dresden (played by Key and Peele in heavy makeup), who show up looking for Keanu (who they took a liking to).
* {{Yandere}}: Pretty much ''everyone'' when it comes to Keanu, but this especially applies for Cheddar, Bacon and the Dresden brothers.
----
!!This film contains examples of the following tropes:
* ActionGirl: Ice-T definitely qualifies, being the sole female member of Cheddar's gang.
* AllGirlsLikeBadBoys: At the beginning of the film, there's some clear tension in Clarence's marriage as his wife goes off with his daughter and another (married) man for a weekend retreat. As it turns out, what Clarence's wife wanted was some excitement in their relationship, and the more he attempts to cover up his activities, the more "excited" she gets. [[spoiler: By the end of the film, when Rell and Clarence are being cornered by the police at Clarence's house, his wife ''interrupts the arrest in progress'' to go upstairs to the bedroom and have sex with him.]]
* BecomingTheMask: Initially, Rell and Clarence are just posing as hardcore gangsters to get their cat. Over time, though, they learn to be as tough as they act. Mostly.
** [[spoiler: In the end, when they wind up in prison, they're actually pretty well respected because they managed to kill the Dresden brothers, who had been terrorizing the city for some time.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: It's actually mostly sweet, but Rell and Clarence's actions ''were'' illegal, and so they had to spend six months in prison. Clarence's relationship with his wife is much improved, though, and Rell is now going out with Ice-T.]]
* TheCameo: Creator/AnnaFaris shows up as the client that Rell has to sell drugs to in order to get Cheddar's respect. [[spoiler: She's [[FakingTheDead apparently killed by Hi-C]], although it all turns out to have been a part of Hi-C's sting operation.]]
** [[spoiler: Creator/KeanuReeves himself also shows up, voicing the cat of the same name, during Clarence's MushroomSamba.]]
* CutenessOverload: Rell's funk over his girlfriend breaking up with him is cured instantly the moment he finds Keanu. Pretty much everyone else has the same reaction to the kitten as well.
* DressingAsTheEnemy: Rell and Clarence pretend to be drug dealers so they can get Keanu back. Initially, they don't fit in very well, but [[BecomingTheMask they learn to adapt.]]
* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Okay, so ''no one'' wants to hurt the kitten (thankfully), but Cheddar does pull a relatively minor version of this when he asks Rell and Clarence to do a drug deal to prove they're who they say they are. Of course, they go along with it.
** [[spoiler: And later on, when they try to pin their attempt to walk off with Keanu on Hulka, Cheddar asks them to kill Hulka. That time, though, they refuse.]]
* IronicNickname: Discussed with regards to Cheddar. As Rell points out, [[FluffyTheTerrible the less threatening a gangster's nickname, the more dangerous they probably are.]] And, in Cheddar's case, [[PsychopathicManchild, he's not wrong.]]
