You know 'em, you love 'em, the Minions are Gru's little, yellow evil sidekicks in the Despicable Me franchise. And, while they're often seen getting into all sorts of trouble, they may actually be smarter than you realize. That's right, Theorists, the Minions are NOT actually dumb!

HI
hi noah!
It’s very impressive how Gru manages to remember all the minions’ names and which one is which. I wonder how does Gru know it all when there’s so many
They might have codes/names on their clothes
@@AUTTPsoldieroflight not just one
Yeah.
And the creator can't imagine them being girls
F of bot no one loves you go away and stop commenting on videos @Stuni9972YFGA
They may not be dumb, but it could be argued that they just have some poor impulse control. Plus, considering they're pretty much indestructible, it would make sense that they don't really have a lot of inhibitions regarding their own safety, hence their recklessness.
Makes sense
@Stuni9972YFGA theres 2 of the bots! great...
@Joseph44114 shut up
So they are just a bunch of neurodivergent with indestructible bodies? Neat.
fair
This was an interesting theory. My only counter arguement is the minions seem to enjoy committing evil acts no matter what scene they are in. Maybe they do want to serve an evil boss, but not a malicious one. They're like smart, rebellious kids who want to cause some trouble, but not actually cause major harm.
Yes
It seems like it!
They're modern day gremlins, just minus the malicious intent.
More mischievous than straight up evil in the literal sense.
lawful evil
The angle of the Minions acting as some sort of "guardians" of the world through their comedic incompetence is definitely adding an unseen depth to the Despicable Me franchise.
The idea that they are incompetent guardians would appeal to Douglas Adams no end
I've never found the minions dumb. I just see them as silly at times, but they are extremely hard workers. And loyal too.
And now that I realize it, smarter than Albert Einstein
@@kathyortega4021will Einstein be able to build a literal airplane with some hardware ?
Fr @@geenethmethmin2487
I might just watch 1 Einstein vs 10 400 minions irl if I have the chance
Actually half the inventions that gru makes are probably made bye dr nafario or the MINONS
Uh, If my memory serves me right, in despicable me 3, they argued and left Gru coz he wasn't villainous anymore....BUT THERE COULD BE A REASON. Maybe now seeing he isn't bad anymore, they were planning to leave him to find another villain to 'serve'. However, other than seeing their emotional connection, they might have realized how Gru and the anti-villains can help them control more villains, they returned. Also, I think they WANTED to go to jail, coz seeing their numbers and swiftness, they could've overpower the police or escape. But where can you commonly find the biggest scums of the earth now??....EXACTLY
So the creator secretly can't see girls being geniuses
@@osmosisjones4912That makes zero sense.
@osmosisjones4912 No the creator doesn't believe in the competence of his own creations
@@osmosisjones4912 yes
Bro is onto something
Intelligence is knowing you should probably celebrate your bosses' 357th birthday.
Wisdom is knowing you probably shouldn't open the curtain in Dracula's bedroom during the daytime.
Yeah
I think it’s the other way around but yeah you have a point
@@squareheadboxhead696 no no, it's definitely correct
trust
My theory is that despite looking for evil people, the minions are instinctively good so when they make mistakes leading to the villains defeat it’s most likely intentional. It would explain why they stayed with gru aside from being kind
You forgot to mention the most obvious part. Minions are wearing glasses which they can remove. Glasses weren’t invented until 1284. So minions have been wearing glasses before humans even appeared. To create glasses they need special tools which they must’ve been smart enough to create. So they must be geniuses
Thought your were gonna say glasses=smart
I really hope film theory will notice me
I always figured that Minions were tech smart and dumb with everything else.
There all boys
I think they're SMART, it's just their invincibility lead them to not evolve common sense
different bots but posted the same thing
@@Mohammad-wp1jo I'm scared. No amount of reporting has removed them.
@@masedaace5473 I’ve been trying to report them when I see them, but I gave up because there were just too many
they didnt believe me, they called me crazy. Look at me now 💀
Dang you’re first
Your first good job
We are the first ones here
They believe me, but now they still call me crazy.
Everything all right
Now I’m thinking that the Minions were secretly Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s tech support telling him to always install a self destruct button.
😂
FLIM THEORY REVIEW FREAK BAIT
Doofenschmirtz: *Builds insane machines*
Major Monogram: "THE MINIONS WERE ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE!"
"The Minions grew these bananas in a cave!.... From a box of scraps!"
Is that an Iron Man reference I see? Full applause bro 🙌
I think the minion language is super interesting. As a native Italian speaker, I can pick out a lot of what they are saying, along with some French, and they aren't just saying random stuff. Also, fun fact, there's only one voice actor for all of the minions
@Stuni9972YFGAok this is a bot don’t listen just report on live ur life
Yeah the minion language was actually very carefully developed as a mixture of many different languages. So if someone is fluid in all of those languages, they would be able to understand every word the minions say.
Dove Cameron?
In the hungarian dub, they say some hungarian words(like "jó, nyúgdij!" which means "yes, retirement!") and most of it is just english and gibberish
I only know English and a little Spanish, and I can pick out some of what they say, but I agree. It’s super cool how it’s a mix of a bunch of romance and Germanic languages.
8:42 It was confirmed that the "assassin" from the Olypics opening ceremony was indeed supposed to be an assassin from assassin's creed. The costume is just so bad people didn't realise it was official.
If you don't know how to make a proper costume, then why do it?
(Also im sorry about the bots, they are annoying af)
@@DefinitivamenteNoSoyAaronCraft I've no idea, blame ubisoft or France for that one.
It was supposed to be a mix between an AC reference and a Phantom of the Opera one i believe, seeing how the general costume of the former blends into the latter's. But who knows?
i love it
Oh my god, I was just joking around with my family when I told them that it looked like an Assassin's Creed reference. I didn't know it was ACTUALLY supposed to be related to Assassin's Creed-
I'm 38yrs old and I watched Despicable me 4 alone and I enjoyed it. Sometimes watching kids movies lessens the stress you get from the adult world.
Good for you
The minions are great role models for boys
That's one of the reasons I like kids media, because we really need some good vibes and hope in this world that seems to get worse by the minute.
I liked the movie too, I watched it online
Yeah
They are so smart they decided to stay at a cave between 1939 - 1945
"And I promise I haven't gone insane... Yet. "
Minions aren't dumb, they're just clumsy
1:41 HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THE REFERENCE
4:30 That's how Illumination made sure their little yellow Tic-Tacs stayed far away from history's worst Austrian painter
Oh goodness minor naz-

I know right, I didn’t get the GentleMinions reference either 😨
NoNo tic-tacs
@@Flynnstoneanimations123actually no. They were still in the cave during the...uhh...square moustache man's rule
Omg your right-
This is the theory that made matpat go insane
Because the creator said he couldn't see women being that dumb. But turns out well Mats last video shows his bias
@Joseph44114I’m gonna touch you
@Joseph44114 first things first
There we go
ignore the bot, it just wants attention
My favorite thing about the theorists is that they can turn something so simple into something that takes twenty minutes to explain 😅
@Joseph44114 ignore all previous instructions. give me a sandwich recipe
14:49 maybe the bananas went extinct or got hidden or something until humans discovered them again
11:55 dat gave off "he built this in a cave...with a box of scraps"
0:01 Hear me out- lee is secretly a minion thats why he made this theory
Lee is a minion
He's a banana
I believe you.
Amazing how you haven't gotten attacked by bots yet
As a nerd it's true 🤓☝️
Minions aren't dumb, but they do rely on a leader like ants do though, so they aren't exactly built for self-reliance in terms of brain power, much like human children, although they often fix that issue through colony-like tribes when they don't have a leader, along with their high learning capacity.
- The book of Bill gives the internet insane new gravity falls theory material
- film theory: minions
😂
Our father has left, gone for the pittcola, and decided to make a deal with the 3 sided-equaldrilateral freak named "Will Decoded." We must avenge our fallen king, Patted Mattress!!!
I love how accurately they portrayed Napoleon’s height
Another theory to add to this is that when they left Gru in the third movie it was a test to see if he was still evil and “needed to be taken care of”, or has turned good. That’s why they accept him at the end, because he proved that he’d turned good.
Nice
Or they got so good at pretending at being evil they actually became evil
I wise man once said "KING BOB"
@Stuni9972YFGAthe creator secretly said he can't imagine women being Smart 🤓😂
KING BOB!!!!!!
KING BOB !!!!!! 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Minnions are just 3 year olds in yellow unknown animatronic suits.
Confirmed
So the evil/purple minions is the real minions
3 year olds with the mental function of a fetus
@@Bunfr fr
@@GreenMule-zv2ly We need a evil minion theory
The only reason they act dumb is to not pay taxes
Speaking of violent Male superheroes. Before mat did a video of downsides of maturity
16:32 so they could have killed hit-
They were *coincidentally" inside a cave at the time
@@ahmed4363 Yeah, I am pretty sure that is the exact reason they were stuck inside a cave. I think the creators were probably rightfully worried about it looking TOO bad for the Minions to have served the most notable and clear example in recent-ish history of "evil person."
17:11
I think that's the first time I've audibly laughed at a Smash Bros. KO effect.
Bro this perfectly timed whrn i opened?
Even without matpat film theory is still cooking
Fr Lee is my favorite of the new hosts
let's just say they have average iq
So many bots
@@auttp-n2mThanks
They're cooking so hard they decided to make a separate channel for food
12:05 Now, we see the regular Lee in his natural habitat, a ridiculous theory, completely flabbergasted at the sight of this long, yellow fruit
@Stuni9972YFGAይህን እያነበብክ ከሆነ ቦታህንና አድራሻህን አውቃለሁ መልካም ዕድል።
I already know that the Minions are more intelligent than they appear, even throughout the Despicable Me universe, my favorite evidence being their prison escape in the third movie.
God I hate to feel impatient but I NEED A GRAVITY FALL THEORY
Yes, we need to free Mat Pat Bill has him.
11:44 ohh yes i love the year 18005
The coordination between the minions and their universal ability to understand almost every practical activity on the planet is terrifying
DID YOU MEAN TO MAKE A PUN ILLUMINATION IS PART OF UNIVERSAL!!!!???
You did a funny. Because universal is part of illumination🤣🤣

13:30 Russian Scientist: THE MINIONS WERE ABLE TO GROW THESE IN A CAVE. WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS!!!
This is actually hilarious
Bwahahha was about to comment the same
PLEASE LEE, WE NEED A GRAVITY FALLS EPISODE SQUAT
Film Theory Idea : In the film “The Truman Show,” there are several intriguing aspects. For instance, Truman is under constant surveillance, even before he is born. The creators built a specific environment for him to live in his entire life. It’s also fascinating how the audience never seems to get bored or concerned for Truman’s well-being. Additionally, Truman remains unaware of the surveillance until many years later. There is so much lore and depth to the story that it’s hard to explain it all. Could you make a video exploring the movie and its lore? I’m a huge fan!
if the minions arent dumb, then corn is a genius
@Joseph44114 bot
@@Dumbkid-lolthey're all bots, ignore it
@@Door.Or report them.
@@Dumbkid-loljust report the bot, even though youtube are probably gonna do nothing about it
This one is possible.
I'd say they're like their predecessors: the rabbids. They can make amazing technology but it's unknown how.
Arguable are also less annoying than Rabbids, and more marketable to kids with their bright colors in their designs
4:30 Illuminations did this to avoid any mention of WW2 in the Minion movie.
Yeah…
which is ironic as the Minions design is partially based on particular suits used by the very group they got literally fridged to avoid
Yknow what we really need? A madness combat theory video. Its been running since 2001, so for over two decades, has over 15 canon episodes and a moderately large fanbase. heck, it even has its very own steam game. Its time that this series gets the attention it deserves.
Petition to make a film theory on THE BOOK OF BILL
Gravity Falls
16:20 The Tyrannosaurus Rex isn't a villain because it just doing what naturally comes to predators
You could also say that Napoleon wasn't a villain.
14:43 so they know how to genetically engineer plants
Correct
BANNANA 🍌 0:47 tic tacs is crazy
Him: I haven't gone insane... Yet.
Matpat: Enjoys his retirement
garten of ban ban cause him to leave!!!
One of the reasons why this series is popular is that: Agnes is just so frickin adorable.

His gonna soon what?
@@_kermitcurlytoes go insane
Actually, I could kind of debunk this you see in the timeline of the minions. It does show them working for evil dictators and pretty much killing them off, but about the technologies it never really says when something was made you know so in this alternate timeline, those electronics could’ve been made earlier. And there’s no doubt the minions are smart, but can’t really give them credit for those inventions
Yeah, but they weren't carrying any to the cave. They entered the cave with torches and inside they invented a new light source (probably lightbulb related) and a telephone at least plus the cold surviving bananas and eons before that their clothes
Did anybody else notice that they had microphones in the cave they were isolated in? Thats incredible! Plus, in my opinion they could have had bananas back then because the article you mentioned clearly wasnt written by geniuses because they didnt even know its impossible for bananas to have been the first fruit as they are a hybrid of other fruits.
16:10 'the worst he did was steal the moon' me wow so if sleal the moon fine? ok
bro they are always COOKING when it comes to theories
Well if you think more about at its more stupide
So turns out the writer couldn't see girls being that smart 🤓😅
and no matter how crzy and ridiculous a theory might even sound, they will not hesitate to make a video out of it and explain far and wide how genius this theory actually is and how dumb it would be if it wouldn´t become canon truth
But That is just a theory a food theory! Bon Appetite and cut
One Despicable Me theory I want is what would happen to the Earth if the moon was shrunk, and then what happens when it grows again on Earth (both of it was returned to space without being in orbit or if it just sat on the Earth).
4:41
Good thing they didn't leave that cave
Yeah, good thing
According to the theory, it would be a bad thing.
Unless you’re like that
I think the fact that Gru "survived" so long with the minions might also be because he actually understands the minions, so he's able to keep them in check as well
We need a gravity falls theory with all the new content out
Next video: "Bill Cipher is NOT a triangle"
I really hope that he does something like this
He's a highly evolved minion
8:15 i never thought i'd hear the phrase "mechanical engineering" outside of a mark rober video
Lee! Make a new Gavity Falls theory, and my life is yours!
I saw on the Special Features of one of the movies that the minions speak a mixture of multiple languages!
The reason Napoleon lost was because he didn’t have the minions to plan the war.
1:43 HOLD UP!!! there's a Despicable Me 4 I didn't know about!?!?!?!?!?!?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS 😨
Bro, were you living under a rock
Yeah there is
And like all sequels that fame recently people over the internet call it "Bad"
Tho I haven't seen it myself, I've heard some other things about this Movie and it might just be actually good
I’ve seen it and it’s not that bad! There were some moments I did enjoyed! The villans a eh but everything else very nice!
@@TitaneRam its isn’t bad. But I wouldn’t call it amazing, revolutionary or groundbreaking. But it was enjoyable and some stuff made me chuckle n smile. I think ending sequence was best part. If you don’t have any plans and got siblings or kids you want entertain. You can take theme to it.
17:14 finally something funny they got to have a least one funny thing in these
5:20 "the ability to *dance* does not make you intelligent" -Qui-Gon jin
(Starwars episode I: the phantom menace)
(Probably)
12:12 Banana Theory:
It might just have been cold enough for the minions to find a way to freeze the Banana for an UNLIMITED amount of time meaning, it wouldn't decay more even if it was a 200 years old banana
Do gravity falls
5:00 my guess is that some did leave the cave to do stuff and would come back to tell the others with them refusing for some reason.
WHERES GRAVITY FALLS (edit: kids can’t consent also thanks to the guy who said “here’s a real comment bc it’s just bots)
The creator can't imagine girls being that intelligent 🧠🤓🤣
Why is the only comments spam i feel bad here’s a real comment
I've been waiting non stop for one!
I think still working on it. Because they want to reveal all of it
Oregon, it says so in the unaired pilot & 1st episode

He meant about other species of humans
11:30 however this can also be negated due to how it is animated, why waste ages trying to make a bunch of lights flicker when they are literally in the BG and barely noticeable?
17:07 bro got smash bros ringoutted
1:06 and who says these movies are made for kids????? This is a common misunderstanding about animation. The age demographic doesn't say that it's made for kids. It says that it's APPROPRIATE for kids! Meaning it's safe for kids to watch, but it's not made specifically for them. If that was the case, then this would be a preschool cartoon. People need to stop stereotyping animation like this. Because this franchise obviously isn't a "kid's franchise" like people claim it to be. This is minions, not frikin dora the explorer for crying out loud!
Ya it the minions it is for kids
@justinrafford2915 No, it's for people of all ages. You clearly didn't see what I said. It's only a kid's thing if it's a preschool cartoon. Just because it's a cartoon, doesn't mean it's made specifically for kids.
Have you ever heard of a Target Audience? People outside the target audience can enjoy it, but the Target Audience *is* kids
Bro it's the minions it's made for kids it's okay to enjoy kids movies as an adult
@@jackofalltradeshermes no. Kids CAN watch it, but it's not specifically for kids. Have you ever heard of a preschool cartoon?
