Expected ISIS Minion but sadly no one has drawn it yet.

Weird considering shit like ISIS Chan exists.

I made the comparison earlier, but minions really do look like giant bacillus bacteria. They even look like they have cilia for hair. And of course, they've spread everywhere.

Remember when Blip tried to kibosh people who used AdBlock and who was subsequently laughed at and ignored within the week? Well I found a way to make it more autistic.

So I sign onto Skype for the first time in ages and...

Oh just fuck YOU.

I drove past a pumpkin farm yesterday and they had baybales painted as minions by the side of the road for all to see

To smash, hopefully?

To smash, hopefully?

Gosh golly, we can only hope

I'm also noticing some parallels between the Minions fad IRL and the "blue duck" fad in that one episode of that old Dilbert cartoon. Life imitates art?

...why. Just...why.

So, I was washing my brother's clothes the other day and I saw a Minions t-shirt.

... I know he's kinda at the target age range, being 13, but it was just... surreal to see after reading this topic.

Here is an article that rips minions a new one. Nothing we haven't heard/talked about before but it is nice to see other places discussing this plague

The gang want to visit Villain-Con (this is the sixties, so Orlando is still a cesspit, apparently), but the Florida city’s name is clearly being dropped to plant the home of Universal Studios in innocent children’s heads. This is the key to the problem at the heart of Minions. It’s not been made because someone thought there was a story to tell about the hench-things from Despicable Me. And nobody’s stepped in to lend such a cynical concept worth. Instead, right from the jabbering cover of the Universal Pictures opening logo, it’s clear this is a branding exercise that exists purely to immortalise the Minions as pop culture staples.

Even before this Despicable Me spinoff came along, the Minions were everywhere. The dungarees and goggles have been slapped on everything imaginable – a Jungle Run rip-off, their own Haribo brand and more plushies at fairground stalls than you can shake a dook-hook at, the merchandise saturation makes George Lucas’ efforts look positively lazy.

Ordinarily, I would say the George Lucas comparison is going below the belt, but in this case it is accurate. I wish this article was longer

Vincent Van Gogh did the right thing.

Thinking of the whole minions thing (and knowing I'm off-topic for even bothering), I can't help but think of a much older movie (let alone one that was released roughly the same time the setting of the Minions flick takes place in) that featured a very similar set of minions enslaved by some paraplegic mistress hell bent on world domination Sam Walton style.
