@@Ashley-lz9jh I think it got annoying for people when Illumination started to milk them and putting them in the main focus when they were better as side characters
It's funny how it slips by people that "Vector" is a reference to Vector Marketing, which is a pyramid scheme, and in the movie Vector stole a pyramid in a literal "Pyramid Scheme." Priceless.
Fun fact: It may sound like the Minions are speaking gibberish but they actually aren't. They speak Minionese which is a mix of English, French, Italian and Spanish with hints of Korean, Russian, Chinese and Japanese tossed in. Most of the Minions are voiced by the directors of the movie, Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin. Chris is American and Pierre is French which is why the minions have different accents.
I have 3 nieces and every time they would come to spend nights at my house, they HAD to watch this movie no matter how many times they had seen it. There were 3 girls in the movie and 3 of them so they named themselves after the little girls. Kids love this movie.
When the dvd came out, i couldn´t pass it when i was on the way to my niece and nephew ( 9 and 8 yo at the time ). They instantly loved it and i gave them the dvd. Two weeks later i received a call from their Mom to come and take the movie back, because they saw it every day and she couldn´t stand the Minions giggle anymore. Naturally i didn´t and my two little Minions greeted me on every visit with a booming loud BANANA!!!
Fun fact Despicable Me did better in the box office than Megamind. But my mom thinks Megamind is the funniest movie ever made, and I think so too. Probably because Will Ferrell is the funniest person alive.
These actors are so funny! Russell Brand as the old professor; Jason Segal as Vector and of course Steve Carell as Gru. They must have had fun doing this movie!
The World War II memes have to do with a bit of lore introduced in the prequel film Minions (2015), which notes that the species is dedicated to serving the most evil villain on Earth at any given moment. While it does show them serving a few notable villains in particular, it does indeed conveniently sidestep the question of who they served between 1933 and 1945.
actually you can kinda tell what the Minions are saying its like a weird mixture of romance languages :D "speta" obviously means "look" derived from spectate :D gotta do the Minion movie now lets go!
Yeah. Although from the first movie it's mostly incoherent babble, as it went on the writers really zeroed in on the variety of actual real languages they blended for "Minionese". What still confuses me is how can anyone apart from Gru still understand what they mean. Is everyone in that universe just multilingual by default?
@@Anino_Makata It works more on a empatic level. What they say is not so important, how they say it has much more to transport. Like the Simlish in The Sims.
At first I loved the Minions (mainly Kevin and Bob) but Illumination really wanted to cash in. My mum is still obsessed with them though and I don’t know why lol.
I once saw several people go into Walmart dressed as minions and purchase bananas. Following not far behind them was someone dressed as Gru and someone driving a motorized shopping cart dressed as dr Nefario.
I haven't watched Rise of Gru yet, but the other 4 movies are all fantastic!! By the way, Steve Carell voices Gru and his mom is voiced by Julie Andrews... The Minions movie gives their origin story...in a hilarious way
"The physical appearance of the please makes no difference" I think is one of the funniest deadpan joke I've seen since "And don't call me Shirley" from Airplane
Guys, if you want answers to your questions about what the Minions are, I suggest you check out the first Minions movie. It doesn't spoil anything from the Despicable Trilogy, although it would mean going out of order. And it might kill some of whatever charm the Minions have, but if you're looking for answers, there's the rabbit hole for you to go down.
Love This Movie In Case You Guys Forget, Singer Pharrell Williams produced and Sing Songs For The 3 Despicable Movies including Despicable Me, Happy, and many more.
@@Anino_Makata I'm an 80s kid so I loved the music in 3. My 7 year old nephew started constantly asking his mom to play "Bad" and "Into the Groove" after watching a few times, LOL.
12:05 I speak from experience .. Elephants eat the WHOLE Banana. And if you’re not careful they snatch the entire frickin’ bunch out of your 11 year old hands .. and you’re left like “Oh …. I guess that’s that then?!?”. Visited a Zoo in Bangkok many years ago .. me and my sister got to take an elephant ride .. and got to feed them. They had tonnes of bananas you can feed to them and they will pick it out of your hand with their trunk and shove it in their mouths. The one I was feeding was NOT into taking them one at a time and just took the whole lot.
Despicable Me 1 is where the Minions work best, because they're kinda in the background and don't overwhelm the story. From this point onwards they skyrocket in popularity - and appearances. I do recommend the following two Despicable Me movies at least, I enjoyed them all.
I actually didn't like how the Minion movie retconned their origin (I just assumed they were a creation of Gru and/or Nefario), though I think the film is okay otherwise.
@@HobGungan Actually, I remember reading an official book about the first Despicable Me movie. It was a kid's book so definitely not a home run literature-wise, but what stuck out to me was in the book they actually referred to the Minions as Gru's creation. So it was probably the original intention to make them one of Gru's experiments, but it was altered for the sake of making a movie about them. Conveniently, their origin was never explored in the trilogy and the initial concept was never one worth explaining in the first place, so it worked out for the producers.
I’m a new sub *about a month * and I have to say I’m really enjoying your reactions. I’ve been watching some of your older videos too. Keep it coming. Erin from Florida!
We have those "leashes" in the uk but we call them reins. We walk a lot here you see and pavement are quite narrow compared to yours and there's not much thinking time if your kid goes rogue so if you've got a baby in a pram, 16 bags of shopping and a toddler they're very useful.
U can watch the origins of the minions in the 'Minions' movie... Basically, it is the minions' nature to serve a big, bad boss... they are capable of thriving as a tribe, but they can only be happy and productive when they serve a big, bad master... or they become depressed. Gru pays them w/ his heists... not well, but until Vector, he was the biggest, baddest supervillain in the world and the minions served him at their pleasure... 😂😂
Ok, now, you guys have got to follow this up with Despicable Me 2. The highlight is Gru falls in love and the minions get injected with a serum that turns them purple and they become evil. Hysterically funny. The best!!
27:05 that scene is a reference from The Godfather where that Hollywood director or producer got his horse head chop off and lay on his bedside where the blood came from. And scream came afterwards. Haha tbh after all that time didn't think of that scene too well with this one
the reason that the Minions are so popular is cause people love them, they are cute, they are innocent and they are silly, you'll only like them more as the movies go on.
4:40 this scene had an extended part where the kid got payback by getting his friends to jump gru... but that was just for a trailer You definitely need to see the other Despicable Me movies. I guarantee you'll love them. I forgot to mention some sounds from Star Wars along with a few other movies have been sampled and used in this movie if not just the engines of the plane 20:22 no he swallowed a glow stick😂 21:31 they had this movie in 4D for this very reason I hope you got to see the End Credits where the minions had some fun
The problem with the minions is it was ashtray film but the company saw a huge profit from this so they made a million more films and a billion more in merchandising any type of product they could Minion condoms ?
see i don't hate the Minions, in fact i have like many of the animated characters like the Minions that Disney and Dreamworks have created, but this is how best to use them, they are secondary to the main characters, they aid the main story, not the focus.... there are a few distinct and recognizable Minions who get their own sequence, but it's played for humour, and is short (they never wear out their welcome and are funny when they show up, cause they don't show up all the time), the rest are gags or props, they are jokes ( the shrunken or floating minion for example) see this movie did what none of the others did, the main story doesn't involve the minions, they are just for comic relief or some emotional pot point (like when they line up to be kissed by Gru) i really like Gru and his story to be himself and become a good parent is the point of the film and the main story, he and the girls are the focus, the minions are for humour and though there are several dozen of them, they never crowd the film or interfere with the main story.... characters like this are funny, when they are used sparingly and purposefully, not stuffed everywhere and shown because they are popular
3:35 From the stories of my very young years being able to wander off; I SHOULD DEFINITELY have been a leash kid...but they weren't really a thing in the mid 90s to early 000s yet 😂😂😂
come on guys!! now you have to see the other 2 stories of Gru....Despicable me 2 and 3.... and both of the Minions movies....those are hilarious too....
You guys should react to Disney's "Mars Needs Moms". It's underrated as far as Disney movies go, but definitely worth the watch if you're looking for something funny and wholesome.
I love Despicable Me (2010) I was born in 2005 and I was 5 years old when it came out and watch it a lot as a kid and one of my favorite animated movies
fun thing, the moon is incredibly big, but you could completely submerge the moon in the Earth's Deepest oceans. It isnt big enough to actually cause worldly destruction to the planet.
Octokrool: We hate minions. Also Octokrool: Laugh hysterically every time they're on screen.
Right? LOL :P
@@RedRoseSeptember22 I hate them too because they’re everywhere now, but they weren’t like that in the first movie lol
The first few movies did them best as side characters
I don’t know why people hate them. Minions are funny and cute. I don’t trust people who hate them it’s like hating puppies 😂
@@Ashley-lz9jh I think it got annoying for people when Illumination started to milk them and putting them in the main focus when they were better as side characters
It's funny how it slips by people that "Vector" is a reference to Vector Marketing, which is a pyramid scheme, and in the movie Vector stole a pyramid in a literal "Pyramid Scheme." Priceless.
Lmao
Gold
Well, most people also don't keep track of the pyramid schemes going on in the world.
How did I miss that after all these years?
Never knew that. I was actually involved with Vector Marketing straight out of high school for like a month. Where did you learn that though?
Fun fact: It may sound like the Minions are speaking gibberish but they actually aren't. They speak Minionese which is a mix of English, French, Italian and Spanish with hints of Korean, Russian, Chinese and Japanese tossed in. Most of the Minions are voiced by the directors of the movie, Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin. Chris is American and Pierre is French which is why the minions have different accents.
"Did the Minions build the pyramids?". "They got a crown?" "They got a throne?" All these questions and more will be answered in The Minion Movie.
For two people that went into this movie hating the minions, y’all seemed to enjoy them 🤣
I think that’s how everybody is their first time
That's what we call denial.
Its cause the first movie is legitimately good and the minions arent as much of a focus in this one
its one of those things good in small doses only.
@@zeallust8542well theyre just side characters in these movies
Where as the minion movies they having the main role just becomes annoying
@@gabigote1439 "just side characters" really only applies to the first movie.
I love how the doll head in Gru's bed (27:02) was like the horse head in The Godfather. 🤣
"I hope they don't all sound like this."
Buckle up, Buttercup...

@@Ugramosch That is funny! Yeah, I know every line in the movie unfortunately haha
@@Ugramosch LMFAO that's great :P
Kids are dumb so no surprise here.
Fun fact Despicable Me did better in the box office than Megamind. But my mom thinks Megamind is the funniest movie ever made, and I think so too. Probably because Will Ferrell is the funniest person alive.
You're darn right!!!
Megamind is a hundred times better.
MOM... THE MEATLOAF!!?!
Megamind is probably my favorite animated movie as far as story line.
I know what you mean. The sheer numbers of people who are still watching Megamind over and over but no one's watching Despicable Me anymore.
2:59 ..."I genuinely hope they all don't sound like this".....Famous last words......
These actors are so funny! Russell Brand as the old professor; Jason Segal as Vector and of course Steve Carell as Gru. They must have had fun doing this movie!

They will regret calling the minions ugly lol. Just waiting for them to fall in love with the minions by the end of the movie
actually you can kinda tell what the Minions are saying its like a weird mixture of romance languages :D "speta" obviously means "look" derived from spectate :D gotta do the Minion movie now lets go!
First they gotta watch despicable me 2 and 3
Yeah. Although from the first movie it's mostly incoherent babble, as it went on the writers really zeroed in on the variety of actual real languages they blended for "Minionese".
What still confuses me is how can anyone apart from Gru still understand what they mean. Is everyone in that universe just multilingual by default?
@@Anino_Makata It works more on a empatic level.
What they say is not so important, how they say it has much more to transport.
Like the Simlish in The Sims.
Yep lol my hubby and I just watched it and we both understood most of what they were saying lmfao :P
@@Anino_Makata technically he grew up with them, so he probably learned or just lived through it and somehow understands lmao
I think this is the best out of all of them.
I only like the first one lol
And the soundtrack
@@mikeynichols4121 😂 Yes. Same with me.
The second one is more memable though
@@Mothobius um....I don't remember anything about it. 😂
Saw this in the theater.. when the minion was cracked like a glow stick, my son (20 at the time) was laughing so hard, he couldn't breathe
OH, YES!!!
THE FILM THAT STARTED IT ALL!!
“He just stole the shrink ray he stole!” 😂😂😂 Love you guys!!!
At first I loved the Minions (mainly Kevin and Bob) but Illumination really wanted to cash in. My mum is still obsessed with them though and I don’t know why lol.
I once saw several people go into Walmart dressed as minions and purchase bananas. Following not far behind them was someone dressed as Gru and someone driving a motorized shopping cart dressed as dr Nefario.
All of the despicable me movies are good. Very rare for an animated series.
Your guy’s reaction just makes the movie x100 times funnier, definitely think you should react to the rest of the series! Loved the video!
I haven't watched Rise of Gru yet, but the other 4 movies are all fantastic!!
By the way, Steve Carell voices Gru and his mom is voiced by Julie Andrews...
The Minions movie gives their origin story...in a hilarious way
Sorry but these movies are too predictable. Gru should have killed one of the girls as a twist.
@@azazello1784 it's a kids movie lol
I saw it on the 4th of July, it was cute!
@@taneshah.1260 I saw the first movie a couple days after the 4th of july in a park on a giant projector screen. Great memory.

In Case You Guys Forget, Singer Pharrell Williams produced and Sing Songs For The 3 Despicable Movies including Despicable Me, Happy, and many more.
He also voices Alfonso (Meena's love interest) In Sing 2 ;)
Minions are not ugly and yellow! They're adorable! 🥰
And yellow. 😂
@@Ugramosch oh yeah I guess they are yellow but they're yellow and cute ha ha
Love it, as always. Despicable Me 2 is the best one though, IMO.
I personally preferred Despicable Me 3. Bratt was the best villain in the trilogy to me, and that kept be on board.
I agree with 2. I love that one. 😉🥰
Bratt was cool but my favorite character was el macho
@@Anino_Makata I'm an 80s kid so I loved the music in 3. My 7 year old nephew started constantly asking his mom to play "Bad" and "Into the Groove" after watching a few times, LOL.
Pressed the like button before watching with you. You guys are gonna love the movie AND the minions!
Be sure to check out the two Sequels and the two Minions flicks too.

What's even funnier about how mean Gru's mom is that she's literally Mary Poppins.
The lady who runs the orphanage has always reminded of professor Umbridge from Harry Potter!
Despicable Me 1 is where the Minions work best, because they're kinda in the background and don't overwhelm the story. From this point onwards they skyrocket in popularity - and appearances. I do recommend the following two Despicable Me movies at least, I enjoyed them all.
"What is a Minion?"
That is explained in the first Minion movie.
I actually didn't like how the Minion movie retconned their origin (I just assumed they were a creation of Gru and/or Nefario), though I think the film is okay otherwise.

The reason that one minion was able to glow was whatever he drank in the lab
Yay!!!! Super stoked to watch this reaction. Love you guys 🇨🇦
All the hairline jokes killed me 🤣 you guys are great!
the thing about the minions is that, when in the movies, they are hilarious. But its the marketing where they get annoying. That's how I feel
I'm happy to say I've never had a bowl cut, even in the early 80s.
We did a kids, we were not safe from the bowl cut epidemic :(
3:26 funny that you mention that...wait till you see the first minions movie.
That moment when you remember "being knighted by the queen" was actually not a lie....
I’m a new sub *about a month * and I have to say I’m really enjoying your reactions. I’ve been watching some of your older videos too. Keep it coming. Erin from Florida!
3:30 actually, yes they did theres a scene in the minions movie where it shows they helped build it.
"Who steals a pyramid?"
Carmen Sandiego
Besides the two direct sequels, there are the two Minions films, which are prequels to the Despicable Me trilogy
We have those "leashes" in the uk but we call them reins. We walk a lot here you see and pavement are quite narrow compared to yours and there's not much thinking time if your kid goes rogue so if you've got a baby in a pram, 16 bags of shopping and a toddler they're very useful.
Despicable Me 2 is great, 3 is okay, and the Minion movie has Sandra Bullock as a bonus.
The Minions definitely have the same energy as the Rabbids.
Fun references: Vector was a parody of Bill Gates. The banker was based on the "pointy hair boss" from the Dilbert comic strip.
The Simpsons are awesome and they’re yellow 😂 just like the minions are, and the most funniest part of the movie is when the minions go the mall 😂
Defiantly need to watch the second one. That one is my favorite.
U can watch the origins of the minions in the 'Minions' movie... Basically, it is the minions' nature to serve a big, bad boss... they are capable of thriving as a tribe, but they can only be happy and productive when they serve a big, bad master... or they become depressed.

I love the Minions Movie!! Another prequel to this one!
I freaking love this movie ☺️ Great reaction!
The rise of Gru was really good! Gives a lot of the back story
My fav part/quote of this film is “It’s a fluffy!!” 😂
It's so fluffy
15:12 ....."[...] como un burro"..... translation: as a donkey..... Now, that's romanticism.....
They actually originated in the first Toy Story movie. And I know they will grow on you!
You guys should react to Black Swan 2010.
4:40 this scene had an extended part where the kid got payback by getting his friends to jump gru... but that was just for a trailer
You definitely need to see the other Despicable Me movies. I guarantee you'll love them.

I hope you got to see the End Credits where the minions had some fun
8:27
Octokrool : Did the Minion build the pyramid?
Me : Uhhh......
yeah?
The reason the bank guy favored vector was cuz vector is his son
The problem with the minions is it was ashtray film but the company saw a huge profit from this so they made a million more films and a billion more in merchandising any type of product they could

see this movie did what none of the others did, the main story doesn't involve the minions, they are just for comic relief or some emotional pot point (like when they line up to be kissed by Gru)
i really like Gru and his story to be himself and become a good parent is the point of the film and the main story, he and the girls are the focus, the minions are for humour and though there are several dozen of them, they never crowd the film or interfere with the main story.... characters like this are funny, when they are used sparingly and purposefully, not stuffed everywhere and shown because they are popular
3:35 From the stories of my very young years being able to wander off; I SHOULD DEFINITELY have been a leash kid...but they weren't really a thing in the mid 90s to early 000s yet 😂😂😂
just started watching these for the first time myself at work. One of my coworkers brought in the 4pk, so fun.
if being a dad gives you that much power just imagine the sheer raw power of NBAYoungBoy 😳😳😳
🐘Elephants like bananas. They eat them with the peels on🤪
Love the blue shirt!

Oh, now that's a memory I haven't revisited in a while... yeah, Mars Needs Moms deserves more fans of.
What about Dr Seuss The Lorax?
Dad buff goes insane 😂
they hit him with the love LOL!🤣
Could anyone imagine a crossover with Despicable me and Megamind?
Omg, the Lady who is mean to the kids at 9.00 minutes and so on, ist exactly like Umbridge 😱🤣🤣🤣
I requested this !!!! 😁😁😁
Fun fact: the Lorax was on her shirt because the Lorax movie was the going to come out the next following year after despicable me
The minion movie was so cute! I loved it
I like one and two. In 2 Gru is the new neighborhood catch....he gets caught too.
let’s gooo! 🔥 can’t wait for y’all to react to second and third 🔥🔥💯
Yall should react to one of my favorite movies of all time, prisoners. If you have not already. Its 10/10
I'm glad you also cant stand the minions, they're everywhere O.o
I love Despicable Me (2010) I was born in 2005 and I was 5 years old when it came out and watch it a lot as a kid and one of my favorite animated movies
Same watched it in the cinema with my primary school class and watched it the second time with my mum
Russell Brand voices the assistant to Gru
The trailer for the new Minions is hysterical.
Y'all should react to the Johnny English movies they're hella fun to watch. It's basically watching Mr Bean but in a spy action movie
fun thing, the moon is incredibly big, but you could completely submerge the moon in the Earth's Deepest oceans. It isnt big enough to actually cause worldly destruction to the planet.
Great movie!!!!!!! I saw minions 2 few weeks ago and its the best one out of the franchise
18:11 cousins he laughs so hard
