- Angst Aversion: For some fans of the original, the Happy Ending Override didn't do this sequel any favors.
- Best Known for the Fanservice: You've got to wonder if Ben Stiller made Zoolander 2 so he could have an excuse to fondle Penelope Cruz' breasts.
- Broken Base: It's widely agreed that the first was better, but whether 2 is still okay or just flat-out bad is subjective among many.
- Funny Moments: So, so many but the crowner would have to be when Zoolander attempts to MAGNUM!!! away a throwing knife. It doesn't end well for him.
- Moral Event Horizon: While Mugatu was already having celebrities assassinated and planning to trap the world's most famous fashion designers at once so he can blow them up, he probably proved himself to be just as, if not more dangerous than he already is hilarious by revealing he orchestrated the destruction of the Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good (killing Matilda in the process), as he still owned the construction company who built it. Having them deliberately set it to collapse 2 days after being finished. He even admits to Derek Jr. that this makes him the one who really caused his mother's death.
- Sequelitis: The first film was a sleeper hit with a devoted cult following, receiving mostly positive reception from film critics. It's safe to say that this film doesn't compare too well, with both critics and even most audiences seeming to find the film a dud, with the film underperforming at the box office to drive it home further.
- Special Effect Failure: Fred Armisen's face has been superimposed onto a little boys body, with some pretty dodgy CGI to boot.
- Take That, Scrappy!: Justin Bieber gets a gruesome death. Lampshaded by Mugatu when he is asked why he killed Bieber asking rhetorically why Zoolander is even asking.
- Unexpected Character: Nobody expected Katinka to appear again.
