To not understand the obsession, amongst grown adults, with fucking Minions?

[NoStannisNo]

My FB news feed.constantly gets clogged up with 'likes' and 'shares' of cheesy quotes from the 'Minions Quotes' page (what have they even got to do with Minions apart from the fact there is one standing next to the words?), videos of 'A Minion kiss, just for you' etc, and pictures of Minions knitted hats, Minions cakes, Minions high heeled stilettos, Minions glittery shit wine glasses, the list goes on.

I have 'half' watched Despicable Me, it was alright. Am I missing something here or am I really just friends with a bunch of infantilised twats?

I can't stand them, hate the memes and I even saw someone post a photo of her collection of minion teddies and one of them was dressed as a french fucking maid? It's garish and crap

I judge anyone of adult age who is 'into' anything their kids are.

I don't get it either. What's wrong with enjoying children's things when you're a child and then developing your interests to adult things when you're an actual adult? To be arrested at a mental age of eight when you're a fully grown adult shouldn't a something to boast about.

Despicable Me is the best film ever. Love the Minions

I need want a Minion.

And don't get me started on bloomin unicorns either!!

I found Despicable Me the most agonising kids' film an adult ever has had to sit through.

Until I saw Despicable Me 2...

Minions have names?

Just back from our giant 24 hr TESCO and it's frigging Minion Weekend there - I just said upthread that I likes the Minions (we have 4 of the wee buggers from McD Happy Meals and their random giggling cheers me up no end ), but the Tesco experience was surreal and disturbing.

Still want to go and see the movie - thank goodness for 2 small DSs who will provide my excuse to go

Dave!!

I love the minions - dh and I went to see the new film today. But I manage to love them without filling my house, wardrobe or FB with them.

I am childish sometimes, but I don't think that's a bad thing either.

I feel a bit left out! I've not heard or seen anything about them really apart from my boss telling me he was taking his 6 year old to see it.

Does anyone want to swap a Happy Meal Vampire Minion for a Hula Minion? Gutted I missed that one, it's my favourite.

The Minion Movie is hilarious btw, and yes, it was mostly adults at tonight's 6.15pm showing.

*Jurassic Minion apparently.

Kevin, Bob and Stuart and lots of other boys' names (and Norbert).

I knew nothing of Minions until the epidemic of those utterly shyte memes infected my Facebook feed. I hate them more than is rational.

Joining this club. Loved the films, but FFS stop posting passive-aggressive friendship quotes on FB with minions standing next to them! MINIONS CAN'T TALK.

YANBU x 1000

YANBU.
I hate the bastards.

I was saying to someone just the other day how much i am sick of the sight of the minions and they didn't agree, so i'm glad to have found you bunch!

I quite enjoyed Despicable Me 1&2 but I've just seen the minion movie with DS and it was OK but not as good. I think all the funny bits were in the clips.

Saying that, I'm not on fb so I'm missing the annoying quoting pp are talking about. That would get irrititating quickly.

Is it just me, or is Scarlett Overkill's husband a dead ringer for Sir Bradley Wiggins?

Banana

Ha, now you mention it SDTG, yes!

I thought fucking minions was a reference to shagging the hired help. I couldn't see how it could be, because, I haven't heard of it generally being an adult obsession. But, I clicked on the OP, just in case.

Never mind.

Some people really need to grow up and that includes you, Harry Potter reader
