Madea's Big Happy Family unit provides examples of:

• Calumniating Parents: Subverted. Kimberly is this to her baby, only it's with practiced intentions. She loves her child, only she'due south tough so that he won't plough out like Tammy's kids. The problem is that she punishes him for doing things normal for his age (he'southward about 6 months one-time). Calvin (understandably) somewhen has had enough and leaves, taking the baby with him.
• Adults Are Useless: This is exactly why Kimberly is so resentful towards her mother, Shirley, because Shirley wanted to go on her rape secret and so never got the former assist for her trauma.
• Adapted Out: In the Play, Shirley had an older kid named "Joyce" but she's non the picture show, except for her name beingness mentioned.
• Awful Truth: Byron finding out Kimberly is actually his female parent.
• Big, Screwed-Up Family: What the eponymous family really is.
• Blackness Sheep: Kimberly is this for her family.
• The Bully: Tammy is this towards her husband. He somewhen has had plenty and stands up for himself.
• Calling Parents by Their Name: Tammy's oldest son calls his mother by her first name.
• Child past Rape: Byron was revealed to be Kimberly'due south son, non her brother, who was conceived subsequently Kimberly was raped past her paternal uncle.
• Dirty Erstwhile Woman: Aunt Bam, who doesn't stop at anything to flirt with whatsoever bonny man she sees.
• Verbal Words: Madea tells Leroy Brownish that he will say "something nice to him, for in one case." She literally tells him those words.
• Extreme Doormat: Subverted. Harold wishes he had the strength to stand up to his domineering wife, simply he doesn't. Madea later on helps him with that, and he succeeds.
• Family Relationship Switcheroo: As we detect out later in the story, Kimberly is really Byron'south mother.
• Fat and Skinny: Tammy, a curt and heavyset woman and Kimberly, who has a tall, willowy figure.
• Flipping the Bird: Tammy flips off Harold on their wedding anniversary later on he brings her flowers, considering the gesture to exist weak and overall annoyed past his doting behavior.
• Foreshadowing:
  • When Byron arrives at Shirley's business firm, Shirley tells Bam "the baby's here". It's clear she isn't talking near Byron Jr..
  • When Shirley goes to Kimberly and Calvin's home to get bail money for Byron, Kimberly asks why she should assist Byron, and she responds "a mother knows", to which Kimberly repeats the same thing.
• Freudian Excuse: Kimberly resents her family because she had been raped past her uncle at 12 and had his child at 13, just her mother never got her assistance for information technology and her family preferred to act equally one large happy family unit instead of addressing their bug.
• Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: Although Madea is very sympathetic towards Kimberly's Freudian Alibi, she chews Kimberly out on taking her acrimony out on everyone (though she is somewhat justified towards her family unit) and tells the latter to get some professional help. This is probably why Madea is ane of the only family members that Kimberly isn't resentful towards. Other than Madea beingness... Madea.
• Hell Is That Noise: We don't take the usual "scary" instance but Sabrina'southward stretching of words (similar "By-rrrihnnn!" or, at one point, "Baby-eeeee!")is not like shooting fish in a barrel on the ears to say the least of it, in-universe or out.
• Gospel Choirs Are Just Better: A whole scene is devoted to this at Shirley's funeral towards the end of the picture show.
• Grew a Spine: After getting some advice from Madea, Harold finally stands up to Tammy and lets her know that her being mean to him is no longer going to be tolerated.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Both Kimberly and Tammy have these. Kimberly is consistently touchy with a fleck on her shoulder due to her past while Tammy seems to angered for no reason, particularly past annihilation Kimberly or Harold says or does. According to Harold, she was like this when he met her.
• Henpecked Married man: Harold is this to Tammy, as she'southward loud and domineering.
• Hypocrite: During the big family argument where it's discovered that Kimberly is Byron'southward female parent, not Shirley, who is really his grandmother , Madea and Bam finish Shirley from interfering with the argument, saying how it "needs to happen", though they're upset with how Tammy revealed it. Allow's non forget that Shirley raised her kids to tell no lies and keep no secrets.
• Ill Girl: Shirley, which adds, as one might expect a lot of conflict to the plot, as her cancer'south returned and then, she hasn't long, in which example, she wants to tell her family what her prognosis is.
• Jerkass: Kimberly, Tammy, Sabrina, and Renee for varying reasons:
  • Kimberly is this more often than not because of the pent of pain of being sexually driveling past a paternal uncle when she was 12 (having Byron at thirteen) and the inaction her family unit took regarding this result and thinks she's better than her family unit though this is due to their willingness to ignore their issues.
  • Tammy is 1 because she belittles and undermines Harold and threw her sis's pregnancy, acquired by rape, in her face to win an argument.
  • Sabrina is this because she by and large seems to live to make Byron (more) miserable than what he is, as she lies and mostly tends to spend any child support money she gets on herself, and does everything to force Byron back into the drug dealing game in order to get more than money (including getting him arrested for dorsum kid support, which likewise leads to him getting fired from his job, and humiliating him on The Maury Show).
  • Renee, Byron'south current girlfriend, as we know, is a Gilt Digger, who wants nothing to do with Byron unless he's bringing in the big money from pushing drugs.
• Jerkass Has a Point: While Kimberly was unnecessarily harsh to her child, she admits that she just does this out of fear that her child volition become as bad as Tammy's kids. The affair is, Kimberly is right nearly Tammy'south kids being poorly raised. Even Madea says that the boys are spoiled and rude.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: A few:
  • Madea, as per usual, with her rather asshole-ish nature just she doesn't hesitate to assistance Shirley with her situation.
  • Byron, though he's not so much a "wiggle", just painfully misguided but he does care nigh his family.
  • Tammy'south sons go this later, though that wasn't without Madea slapping them, though.
  • Information technology's unsaid that Kimberly will eventually become this after Calvin learns why she'due south so angry and mean.
• Karma Houdini: Kimberly's paternal uncle, who, from what tin can exist unsaid, never got punished for raping her.
• Kicking the Dog:
  • Tammy throwing dorsum in Kimberly'south face her teenage pregnancy, which was conceived through incestuous rape, and in front of their younger "brother", Byron, who was the result of that consequence and who knew goose egg about the circumstances all of his life, just so she could win the argument. Even Madea calls her out on this.
  • After Byron gets fired from his job because he was arrested (thanks to Sabrina) and he knocks over some boxes in acrimony, his boss then insults him and tells him to clean them up.
  • Joe to Madea. See Laser-Guided Karma below.
  • Even every bit a 18-carat Overnice Guy (and ane of the few truly decent people in the film), Calvin does this to Kimberly subsequently an argument where he decides to leave and take their infant son with him. Over her desperate protests not to take the male child, he then spitefully says "You already have the one you left on the doorstep". However, this played with in that A) Byron was conceived from sexual abuse and so, due to the situation at the time, Shirley raised Byron alongside her kids and B) he (and the viewers) didn't know this until later, retroactively making the move this trope.
• Laser-Guided Karma: From all the annoying behavior she committed in the pic and her calling out the family for all of their wrongdoings, Madea so goes on Maury for a paternity test and is devastated to learn that Mr. Brown is not the father of Cora. Meanwhile, Joe, watching the episode at home and tickled by the turn of events, laughs at her and makes a Call-Dorsum to his joke of "1-800-Choke-That-Ho".
• Love Triangle: Between Byron, Sabrina and Renee. He actually likes the fact that both women are fighting over him, but he eventually settles his differences with Sabrina (with some forceful urging past Madea) and cuts ties with Renee by the terminate of the film.
• Nice Guy: Calvin. He's nothing just patient with Kimberly, despite how she is and he goes out of his way to help Byron and Shirley, despite Kimberly being less inclined. He even comes to sympathize with Kimberly when he finds out nigh her terrible past and he and her have a meliorate marriage every bit the latter agrees to get assistance.
  • Shirley, who only wants to have a nice dinner and keep peace so she can tell her family about her terminal cancer, which isn't helping her situation any. Nonetheless, she's a deconstruction, as "keeping the peace" doesn't help matters when your girl has some unresolved trauma from being raped as a child and your family's issues get worse and worse.
• Never Got to Say Goodbye: Kimberly to Shirley. She arrives at the infirmary soon after she passes away.
• Only Sane Human being:
  • Calvin is 1 of the few people in this film who has common sense.
  • While Kimberly is a jerkass, she veers into this regarding her family unit and the issues they accept, as she'due south the just one not interested in running away from their bug.
• Parting Words Regret: In the end, Kimberly never got to tell a passed on Shirley she'due south sorry.
• Pushover Parents: Tammy allows her sons to be rude and disrespectful to their elders. This changes after Madea gets through to her and her family.
• Secretly Dying: Subverted. Information technology'southward not that Shirley is keeping her prognosis a clandestine, it'south that her family won't become forth well enough for her to tell them, so they find out every bit she'southward on her deathbed.
• Shout-Out: The release affiche/DVD cover seems to feature a vague one to ''The Brady Agglomeration.
• Sibling Rivalry: Kimberly and Tammy.
• Spoiled Brat: Tammy'due south sons, but mostly because Tammy placates them and Harold is too much of chump to practise otherwise.
• The Stoner: Aunt Bam, which adds some funny moments, as before in the film, she'due south seen smoking weed and, when it'southward brought up that Byron used to deal drugs, she asks most a dime bag.
• Talk Bear witness Appearance: Madea eventually goes onMaury to learn if Mr. Brown is her adult daughter, Cora's, father.He is not, and Madea freaks out like any other disappointed mother all while Joe happily watches at home and makes fun Of her.
• Teen Pregnancy: Kimberly was raped at age 12 and gave birth to Byron at 13.
• Upper-Course Twit: Kimberly comes off equally this towards her family. Information technology'due south justified, given what happened to her.
• Useless Bystander Parent: Although Shirley prides herself on existence a decent, single parent who brought up her children to be God-fearing and respectful, the reality is all three of her children have substantial issues. Worst of all is those of eldest girl Kimberly, who was raped past her paternal uncle at the age of 13 which culminated in her getting pregnant with her "brother" Byron, who Shirley decided to keep the whole matter a undercover, never getting Kimberly help in any class.
• What the Hell, Hero?: Madea rightly calls Tammy out on the way she revealed to everyone on the tabular array how Bryon was Kimberly'south kid instead of his sis. She likewise calls out everyone else on their flaws at the end of Shirley's funeral.
