* FutureLoser: We only catch a glimpse of Teddy's future but even in the present it's very apparent there's nothing good waiting for him after graduation, which is why he's trying so hard to keep the party going now.

* BaitAndSwitch: Mac and Kelly find their daughter playing with discarded condom. Their pediatrician tells them "Your baby has AIDS", which clearly devastates them. When he continues talking, "... is the worst thing that could happen. The condom was unused" they're '''''pissed'''''.

* MissingTrailerScene: The trailer prominently featured a scene of Seth Rogen's character sitting down on a toilet, and promptly falling through the floor. This sequence didn't make the final cut of the film.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender:
** When Mac is startled by Nora's presence in his back seat he brakes and she flies through the front window of the car.
-->'''Mac''': Oh my god, I killed a girl!
-->'''Nora''': [''staggering to her feet''] I'M ON PAINKILLERS, MOTHERFUCKER! [''flips him the bird''] ''KAPPA NUUUU!'' [''runs off'']
-->'''Mac''': WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
** Shelby tries to run off with the Radners' phone, having failed to notice that it's not cordless. When the cord reaches its full extent, it yanks her off her feet and slams her to the floor.
-->'''Shelby''': [''writhing in pain''] AHHH! What the FUCK!
-->'''Mac''': It's called a cord, dumbass!
-->'''Shelby''': FUCKING OLD PEOPLE PHONE!
** When Shelby's dad points out to her that there is moldy pizza lying around the house, she insists "Cheese is mold! I can eat it whenever I want!" and proceeds to stuff a moldy slice of pizza into her mouth although the taste obviously makes her want to barf.

* AdultFear: Mac and Kelly find their daughter playing with discarded condom. Their pediatrician tells them "Your baby has AIDS", which clearly devastates them. When he continues talking, "... is the worst thing that could happen. The condom was unused" they're '''''pissed'''''.

** The sequel goes even further with Teddy in this regard. He's actually quite smart but it's absolutely unable to think about anything other than partying. For example: he shows he's able to do relatively fast math... but only if it's about calculating the prices of weed.

** Teddy would also be facing several serious charges for his air bag prank, including theft, breaking & entering and battery, but Mac never bothers to report it because PoliceAreUseless.

** Mac and Kelly dress their baby as [[Series/BreakingBad Heisenberg]] and [[Series/MadMen Don Draper]] for a photo shoot.

* HappyEndingOverride: Teddy ended the first movie in a good place after some CharacterDevelopment, but as result of his antics from the last film, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he ends up with a criminal record and losing his job]] by the time of this movie. [[spoiler:Luckily he winds up in an even better place by the end of this film.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: Teddy starts the movie on the side of the sorority but switches sides half-way through.

* PlotHole: The first film explained why the other neighbors didn't complain about the noise the frat made, namely that the frat members were doing chores for them. In this film, Kappa Nu does not such thing so there's no reason for the other neighbors to not complain as well.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY: It turns out that Kelly's maiden name is Dhundee. And it is [[BerserkButton most certainly]] not pronounced [[Film/CrocodileDundee Dundee]].
-->'''Teddy:''' Crocodile Dundee?
-->'''Kelly:''' *A bit annoyed* IT'S NOTHING LIKE IT!

* NotSoDifferent: The Radners and Teddy are actually more similar to each other than they'd care to admit as they are both using this war to escape their anxiety of growing up. The Radners see Teddy as having the life they no longer have while Teddy sees the Radners as what he may potentially become (or what he is unable to become).

* RealityEnsues:
** Pete tries his hardest to convince Teddy that, despite his fraternity achievements being SeriousBusiness to him, they don't matter a whole lot outside of college, and that he needs to focus less on Delta Psi shenanigans and more on what he'll do after graduation. By the end, [[spoiler:Teddy realizes that Pete was right, and he starts attending night school to make up for lost time.]]
** As it turns out, the first movie caused Teddy to get a criminal record so he has trouble finding jobs by the time of the second movie.
** A paediatrician joking about a baby contracting AIDS from a used condom isn't funny, it's horrifying. Mac and Kelly are understandably pissed.

* SuddenlySexuality: Pete Regazolli came out of the closet at some point between the end of the first film and the start of the second. [[spoiler: In fact his boyfriend proposing to him indirectly causes the entire plot of the sequel by forcing Teddy to move out on his own where he ends up meeting Shelby and her friends and teaching them how to run a sorority.]]

* DistractedBySexy: Teddy invokes this trope at the tailgate when he dances shirtless to distract the Kappa Nu girls from their booth...everything goes well until he shows his dick.

Mac and Kelly Radner (Rogen and Byrne) are a married couple with a newborn baby, and they find that raising a child has cut into their social life. Things become more complicated when a [[{{Fratbro}} fraternity]] led by Teddy Sanders (Efron) moves in next door, causing trouble for the couple.
