History WesternAnimation / AnExtremelyGoofyMovie

* AsleepInClass: During the first lecture, Bobby is snoring loudly until he wakes himself up and shouts "Mommy! I didn't do it!"

* AnAesop:
** As Goofy puts it and learns throughout the film, part of achieving a future is about staying focused on your goals.
** It's hard when your children leave the nest, but they'll always stay with you in your heart.
** The woman at the unemployment office tells Goofy that you're never too old for an education.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Max becomes very resentful towards Goofy after losing to him on the first day of the X-Play games, unwilling to accept that he got upstaged by his own father, who, in Max's eyes, happens to be the "most AthleticallyChallenged man in the universe". This shows how Max, blinded by his fixation on Goofy's more unflattering traits, is either unable to see or conveniently forgets the fact that Goofy ''is'' a talented and skilled athlete in his own right, as shown by his impressive dance moves and stylish on-the-spot skateboarding maneuvers (the latter of which caught the Gammas' attention and led to Goofy joining the competition to begin with).

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Bradley leaves Tank to die when he's trapped in the collapsing X structure so that he can finish the race. After Max and Goofy rescue Tank, the former wins the race and Bradley finds himself caught in the fury of a betrayed and clearly ticked off Tank. It's hard to feel sorry for Bradley when he's tossed into a blimp given what he did to Tank.]]

* HeroesWantRedheads: It's actually PJ, the sidekick, who gets Beret Girl. Roxanne has gone missing, meanwhile. However, Goofy does also get Sylvia.

--> '''Max''': Don't you get it!? I'm TRYING to GET AWAY FROM YOU! I'm not a little kid anymore! So just leave me alone and GET YOUR OWN LIFE!!!

Unlike many Disney [=DTV=] sequels, the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Max. In the first film, he was just a TroubledTeen dealing with peer bullying and school ostracization, causing him to become moody and sour, and his most morally questionable act was to lie to his father out of desperation. Here, Max's worst actions are rooted on petty selfishness and spite. First, he dupes Goofy into joining the Gammas in hopes of not only sabotaging his rival team's chances but to also get a few laughs at his own father's expense as Goofy is humiliated on live TV. When his plan backfires and Goofy ends up becoming a school celebrity, Max turns into TheResenter and starts detesting Goofy for the crime of unintentionally stealing his thunder. While still relatable to an extent due to Goofy's own unhealthy clinginess being a factor in Max's annoyance, and not beyond redemption thanks to his CharacterDevelopment later on, Max's behavior during the film's midpoint makes him crueler, more egocentric, and less sympathetic than his previous portrayal.

* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: {{Inverted}}. Beret Girl is disgusted when Bobby hits on her, and then immediately flirts with and asks out the [[ShrinkingViolet much shyer]] PJ. PJ, meanwhile, clearly ''does'' enjoy Beret Girl's moves toward chasing him and even assimilating him: he [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide isn't very masculine to begin with]] and had been starved for love, so it makes sense. When he reveals HiddenDepths, it's pretty clear that he assumed he was ''supposed'' to receive the advances.

In the first film, he was just a TroubledTeen dealing with peer bullying and school ostracization, causing him to become moody and sour, and his most morally questionable act was to lie to his father out of desperation.

When his plan backfires and Goofy ends up becoming a school celebrity, Max turns into TheResenter and starts detesting Goofy for the crime of unintentionally stealing his thunder, overall making him crueler, more egocentric, and far less sympathetic than his previous portrayal.

* LackOfEmpathy: Bradley doesn't seem to care that [[spoiler: Tank is trapped in a burning X structure potentially facing death. Tank keeps this in mind when he confronts Bradley after being saved by Max and Goofy]].

* AesopAmnesia: PlayedWith, despite the first movie showing Goofy learning that Max is growing up and Max learning to accept Goofy's "goofy" tendencies, they are back to being at odds with each other at the start of this movie. That being said the root cause in this case is different, with Goofy and Max trying to establish how involved Goofy can be in Max's life as he matures rather than Goofy being terrified for Max's future. Both end up learning their lessons about having reasonable boundaries while remaining connected once more by the end and have patched things up.

** In the Goof Troop episode, "Mrs. Spoonerville", Pete called Goofy a bonehead after Goofy will enter the Mrs. Spoonerville contest. Here, a fat student called him the same insult after Goofy trips over a bench.

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Bradley leaves Tank to die when he's trapped in the collapsing X structure so that he can finish the race. After Max and Goofy rescue Tank, the former wins the race and Bradley finds himself caught in the fury of a betrayed and clearly ticked off Tank. It's hard to feel sorry for Bradley when he's tossed into a blimp given what he did to Tank.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Part of Bradly’s plan for sabotaging the final race is sending Team 99 off the course down a flight of stairs. The Gammas succeed at that, only to find out they have actually sent Team 99 on a shortcut that puts them in the lead. So much for driving them off the course.
* DiscoDan: Goofy and Sylvia, who are both avid collectors of 70s memorabilia and disco dancers. Goofy even moreso; he seems to genuinely think a disco suit and an afro wig are appropriate attire on a modern college campus, [[TheDitz because it's Goofy.]]

* HeelFaceTurn: Tank, after [[spoiler:Bradley betrays him by launching himself and Max to their almost dooms via rocket-propelled skateboard, and then not helping to save him afterwards.]] Bradley's attempts to cheat his way into winning the games were so despicable [[spoiler:that the ''staff and organizers of the games'' don't even try to break up Tank's confrontation with Bradley later on. Everyone just sits and watches as Tank gives Bradley what he deserves.]] Let's all sit back and watch the action go on.

* TheHopelessReplacement: Bradley [[spoiler: launches PJ out of the arena]] so that Team 99 will have to forfeit (since each team needs three competing players). They replace him with Goofy at the last second. Played with in that while the characters may think Goofy will be a hindrance compared to their lost player, he is still their first choice for personal reasons.

* HypocriticalHumor: After Bradley cheats by [[spoiler: sending PJ flying on rocket skates]] to get Team 99 disqualified, he says to the referee, "Hey, no fair! They're too late!" when Goofy arrives to replace him at literally the last second.
* ImplausibleDeniability: Bradley claims that he did not [[spoiler: blast PJ into the next state]] despite it being incredibly obvious that [[spoiler: the second largest person on the ramp shot up and went missing]] and Bradley deliberately drawing attention to that fact.
* ImprovisedWeapon: PJ threatens Tank with a biscotti in the café, Goofy hits Tank in the foot with a pool cue, [[spoiler: and also throws a horse shoe at Bradley]] during the final race.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Bradley believes he's going to get away with trying and failing to screw over Max's team from winning the College X-Games. Then [[spoiler: he finds his former {{Mook}} Tank, clearly pissed over Bradley leaving him, approaching him with intent to get revenge. No points for guessing what happens.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Bradley does two things in the final race that help the heroes out. First, he [[spoiler: sends PJ flying on rocket skates]] to get Team 99 disqualified. This directly helps repair the fractured relationship between Max and Goofy. Then he [[spoiler: almost lets Tank get killed]] which allows Team 99 the edge they need to win, even after [[spoiler: stopping to save him]].

* OpposingSportsTeam: The Gammas, though notably, Bradley is ''not'' a VillainyFreeVillain, doing such things as [[spoiler: strapping rockets to PJ's skates and blasting him "into the next state"]] and [[spoiler: dropping the giant X, now flaming, on Max (and Tank).]]

* ReleasingFromThePromise: After Max wins the X-Games, Brad [[GracefulLoser acknowledges their bet and offers to shake hands]]. Max calls off the bet, pointing out that [[TheDogBitesBack he owes Tank something.]]

* RoundaboutShot: Goofy and Sylvia have one during their [[GratuitousDiscoSequence disco]] [[DanceOfRomance dance.]]

** Max, P.J. and Bobby does it again when Goofy opens their dorm room blinds causing them to groan in agony by the glare of the sun.
** Max and Bobby does it once more when they were about to run into two Gammas, dressed as a little kid and a elderly lady.

* TranquilFury: [[spoiler: When Tank confronts Bradley for abandoning him to die, he doesn't so much as raise his voice.]] Amazing in this case, since it must take a ''lot'' of guts and will power to restrain your temper after [[spoiler:your teammate abandons you to die in a flaming wire and fabric structure]].

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The rest of the Gammas after losing the competition. Were they ever brought forth to answer for their constant cheating? Also, what on earth happened to Roxanne and Stacey between here and the last movie?

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: In the climax [[spoiler:Max has a clear opening to escape the collapsed structure and win the race. Then he hears Tank screaming for help and decides to go further into the wreckage to save him.]]

Max, [=PJ=] and Bobby are ready to go to college and are planning to participate in their college's X-Games. Upon arriving, they earn the attention of Bradley Uppercrust III, the leader of the X-Games reigning champions. Bradley offers Max a place in Gamma House, but isn't interested in PJ or Bobby. Max's reply is that "It's all of us, or none of me." They make a bet so that whoever loses the games is forced to be the other teams towel boy.
