The Minions in this movie are surprisingly restrained compared to the many sequels. But you can tell the studio knew right away that they had an instant success with them.
Also, credit where it's due, the Minions have made me chuckle out loud on at least two occasions. (The first time was when they yelled "lapiñata!" and hit someone, and the second time was when they did the "Vincent Adultman" trenchcoat schtick, and the one with two eyes was exactly at chest level.)
The minions started exactly what they were intended for: Gru's sidekicks. Only when Illumination realized how popular they became did the focus shift from Gru onto them.
@user-vl6dc2mc8h Thoughts aren't 'sins' and the fact you are brainwashed into thinking you need to 'repent' for thinking 'bad thoughts' is sad. If you don't act on them your thoughts are just things in your head. Thinking you are a bad person for wanting to hit someone in the face is like thinking you are a good person for wanting to giving money to charity.

Part of the reason that this movie got so popular is that it isnt just for kids. It has SO MANY adult jokes or moments that only adults will understand, but was still engaging enough to entertain kids.

DreamWorks really kills it with the "subversive villain" or "unexpected hero" stories. They did it with Shrek 1&2, Kung Fu Panda 1&2, Despicable Me and Megamind.

We actually had this particular one - it's about changing your bad eating habits and sedentary lifestyle to be more healthy and maintain a healthy weight. Never in a million years would I have guessed seeing this book referenced in a video about Despicable Me 😂
I feel like the Minion hate in this movie is retroactive because of all the boomer memes and what Illumination has done with them since. I really actually don't mind them in this movie
Agreed; they were actually funny the first time around, or they wouldn't have been marketed into oblivion in the first place. The bit just got old fast.
Honestly same. They were comparatively restrained comedic relief in the first movie and not used as heavily so it didn't get overwhelming. But they got popular outside of the movie and after DM2 the writers just quickly overdid it.
Yeah, they worked as comic relief sidekicks in this movie. The problem came when the executives decided they could carry films on their own, which they can’t.
It has been a long time since I watched this movie and watching this made me notice something. 6:20 Anybody else getting Umbridge vibes from the orphanage director?
I was about 19 when this movie came out and a smoking buddy of mine gave me the DVD for my birthday. This was a guy who listened to death metal and was super into that scene and lifestyle so I was very confused. He saw the look on my face and just said "Trust me, it's good and not just for kids" . The dude was 100% correct. Instant classic. I actually didn't even know who did the voice for Gru until about halfway thru because his accent is really well done ~
It's implied gru not only wants to steal the moon to make his mom stop being like he's a dissapointment But it's also an evolution of his childhood dream from landing on the moon to taking it But at the end he found something better That's why he is looking at the moon in the ending PD the trailer for this movie suggests Gru is the number 1 supervillain then vector becomes number 1 afterwards in the trailer Gru lore is weird
Zootopia blows Despicable Me out of the water. The characters are interesting and well-developed, the storyline is engaging, and the animation is top-notch. And don't even get me started on the humor. It's clever, witty, and genuinely funny. Zootopia is a masterpiece, plain and simple. Despicable Me ain't got nothin' on it, baby.
@@Sammy-34079Why are you bringing up zootopia? It’s a disney movie with a massive budget no shit it’s better than an illumination movie from 2010 there is no point comparing them. You sound like the guy that got fired from his job by constantly talking about judy hops. 🙄
I can't explain it, but I love The Minions movie. As someone adopted in the old days, no records, no trace, this movie makes me really twitchy. I have a lot of friends whose parents genuinely hated all children, including their own kids. That theme is real.
7:30 As a recovering LDS Mormon who served a mission, I can bear witness that knocking from door to door to spread the message only works about 0.01 percent of the time. It's a terrible method and just makes people hate you. And very justifiably.
Because it was their first big animated movie, they really had to TRY to make it into the big leagues. Once they realised they didn't need to put in effort, we got the sequels.
0:16 I went to an anime convention in March, and there was a Shrek shrine in a corner that was just a ton of Shrek merch and a speaker playing All Star 😂
Gru and Dru, I find to be a kind of clever subversion of Good Twin/Evil Twin. Though neither are really evil, they have very contrasted personalities, and the "good" one wants to go into villainy.
The fact that they’re making a 4th one makes me mad, LIKE BRO YOU CAN STOP AT 3, AND YOU HAVE SPINOFFS 😭😭 Edit: I have now seen the movie and why is it actually good 💀 Double Life is a banger too 🔥🔥
1:25 And at least he could afford to live in a nice neighbourhood. If this was made today, he'd be sharing an inner-city townhouse with 12 other people...
They didn't like Matilda because she was willing to call out her dad's shady dealership business and they didn't like the idea of her engaging her mind. The most responsible thing they ever did was allow Ms. Honey to adopt her at the end of the movie.

Gru is just doofenshmirtz without the saddest backstory
clicking back of this video at 3:17 after the young sheldon diss which I refuse point blank to put up with.
I feel like the Minion hate in this movie is retroactive because of all the boomer memes and what Illumination has done with them since. I really actually don't mind them in this movie
Yeah I actually find them pretty funny in this movie
Less so in subsequent movies though
Agreed; they were actually funny the first time around, or they wouldn't have been marketed into oblivion in the first place. The bit just got old fast.
Honestly same. They were comparatively restrained comedic relief in the first movie and not used as heavily so it didn't get overwhelming. But they got popular outside of the movie and after DM2 the writers just quickly overdid it.
They were popular in the begining but they got over exposed. I still like them but I get how people got sick of them
Yeah, they worked as comic relief sidekicks in this movie. The problem came when the executives decided they could carry films on their own, which they can’t.
Despicable me is such an awesome movie it brings back so many memories every time I watch it
Speaking of Despicable Me, have you seen Megamind.
I would pay money for Alex to react to Hal's NiceGuyisms.
Oh he should absolutely watch Megamind
Oh I would love that alleged grown man watch megamind
Then he can react to Megamind 2. one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It's really not worth anyones time
@@paiget6200 Oh, that can of worms has lore. It's not even made by the same company, I don't think.
Alex slowly doing more cartoon shows and movies is so amazing to me. I absolutely love it. I hope he does more.
It has been a long time since I watched this movie and watching this made me notice something. 6:20 Anybody else getting Umbridge vibes from the orphanage director?
Hey now, Puss N Boots: Last Wish is a Banger!
I really loved the animation style, it's such a step-up from the previous movie.
@@benzaiten933yh the animation was way better but I did like the first movie better probably bc of nostalgia
Finally Alex meyers has done despicable me. My life is complete
I was about 19 when this movie came out and a smoking buddy of mine gave me the DVD for my birthday. This was a guy who listened to death metal and was super into that scene and lifestyle so I was very confused. He saw the look on my face and just said "Trust me, it's good and not just for kids" . The dude was 100% correct. Instant classic. I actually didn't even know who did the voice for Gru until about halfway thru because his accent is really well done ~
Alex while watching despicable me:
Him when Agnes: Baby girl, baby.
Him when minions: Evil!
It's implied gru not only wants to steal the moon to make his mom stop being like he's a dissapointment
But it's also an evolution of his childhood dream from landing on the moon to taking it
But at the end he found something better
That's why he is looking at the moon in the ending
PD the trailer for this movie suggests Gru is the number 1 supervillain
then vector becomes number 1 afterwards in the trailer
Gru lore is weird
11:41 you can't even imagine the grip that Kidnapped, by One Direction had on me throughout high school
Omg that reminded me of the books that would go “my mom sold me to 1D for drug money”
Imagine calling Shrek, 'just ok,' and expecting to have any credibility afterwards
Then again Shrek 1 isn’t the best one . That goes to Shrek 2
@@Whatzitooya891I agree, shrek two is the best sequel in the world
@@ninja-ginger1973nahh Top Gun Maverick is
@@hihellohi5714 I disagree, the I need a hero bit at the end is a better ending than flying an old plane but everyone is entitled to their opinion
@@hihellohi5714 I mean Shrek has an actual plot. Top Gun is just America, fuck yeah but unironic.
Agnes might be the most adorable character in film history
This movie is honestly so good, the second was pretty decent too with the addition of lucy, but i feel illumination just ran it into the ground
Zootopia blows Despicable Me out of the water.
The characters are interesting and well-developed, the storyline is engaging, and the animation is top-notch.
And don't even get me started on the humor. It's clever, witty, and genuinely funny.
Zootopia is a masterpiece, plain and simple. Despicable Me ain't got nothin' on it, baby.
@@Sammy-34079 this is like comparing oranges with bananas
@@Sammy-34079Why are you bringing up zootopia? It’s a disney movie with a massive budget no shit it’s better than an illumination movie from 2010 there is no point comparing them. You sound like the guy that got fired from his job by constantly talking about judy hops. 🙄
6:49
wait until you hear about this show called fairly odd parents...
Oh,Frick...
I can't explain it, but I love The Minions movie. As someone adopted in the old days, no records, no trace, this movie makes me really twitchy. I have a lot of friends whose parents genuinely hated all children, including their own kids. That theme is real.
If you hate kids you shouldn't have any! I hate kids, too, but at least I don't have any kids and avoid being around them as much as possible.
Dissing Shrek as if it ain't pure cinema should be a crime smh. "This movie isn't stupid, you're stupid!!" - Billy and Mandy
I remember seeing a comment saying that if this movie was PG-13, minions would have been the reason for 9/11 and honestly..I see it.
According to the 2015 Minions movie, they served Napoleon, but after Waterloo they hid away until 1968.
same shit with the holecost but if it was rated-R😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
@@NJGuy1973are you saying they killed mlk………

7:30 As a recovering LDS Mormon who served a mission, I can bear witness that knocking from door to door to spread the message only works about 0.01 percent of the time. It's a terrible method and just makes people hate you. And very justifiably.
0:05 Ah yes, Allegedly Grown Man Watching A Kid's Show, my favorite show!
11:53 the guy stole my job with my line ...lol
15:28 this is easily the funniest thing you have ever uploaded
The first one is really good. Then Illumination discovered its cash cow potential
"It is cash cow potential"? Or did you mean "its (as in, belonging to it)"?
Because it was their first big animated movie, they really had to TRY to make it into the big leagues. Once they realised they didn't need to put in effort, we got the sequels.
Dude, drew this 04:23 He didn't have to but he did. 😂
And he made them just undetailed enough to not get demonitised.
That Berenstein bear knock off, was one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever seen in my life. Bless you and your endeavors.
15:48 The fact that I remember having this book and reading it often😅
I don't have much to add except we quote, "it's so fluffy I'm gonna die!" all the time to this day
SAME 🦄🦄🦄
I love this movie
And i can't believe that now its pretty much remembered as "The Minions Origins"
9:26 really. Thank goodness he was just a super villain and not some creep.
5:55 nah but somebody TELL me how he survived this…
Uh… gru is a god?
Plot armor
Cartoons
Before "unfollow" was a thing on FB, I unfriended my aunt bc I was so annoyed at the Minions memes 😂 she posted so many
Same TBH. Those memes just ruined minions.
I hate them now.
Unironically, this film is great. Definitely one of my favourite childhood films
0:16 I went to an anime convention in March, and there was a Shrek shrine in a corner that was just a ton of Shrek merch and a speaker playing All Star 😂
Oh wow. Rest In Piece Steve Harwell (The Lead Singer Of Smash Mouth)
Holy shit that sounds like my own personal heaven
Rest in peace steve harwell you were truly an all stars
Gru and Dru, I find to be a kind of clever subversion of Good Twin/Evil Twin. Though neither are really evil, they have very contrasted personalities, and the "good" one wants to go into villainy.
Puss in Boots: Last Wish was absolutely amazing.
I don't think Alex realizes how truly funny he is. I get so excited when he posts because I know it's gonna be a good time.
The fact that they’re making a 4th one makes me mad, LIKE BRO YOU CAN STOP AT 3, AND YOU HAVE SPINOFFS 😭😭
Edit: I have now seen the movie and why is it actually good 💀 Double Life is a banger too 🔥🔥
I’M SORRY WHAT
@@Cheddar-the-Chaos-EditorYep, a 4th is coming. With a biological kid.
NAH FRL THO
@@vastro921 need to see gru shagging
They can stop at 2...
6:23 I just realized how much she looks like Dolores umbridge
1:25 And at least he could afford to live in a nice neighbourhood. If this was made today, he'd be sharing an inner-city townhouse with 12 other people...
"Ahh i'm afraid you are too late son NASA isn't sending the monkeys anymore" -Gru's mother has no chill 💀
12:44 Alex out here pretending April O'neil doesn't exist
In defense of Matilda, they didn’t have a problem with the brother. It was just Matilda who was obviously different from them.
They didn't like Matilda because she was willing to call out her dad's shady dealership business and they didn't like the idea of her engaging her mind.
The most responsible thing they ever did was allow Ms. Honey to adopt her at the end of the movie.
I love the Despicable Me movies!
Honestly me too! And I like the minions...
I couldn't be around them constantly but they were tolerable. For me.
epic heccking commentary, updooted it my guy
I’ve watched this movie so much I can literally tell when Alex has to change the background music for copywright and it changes the scene for me to hear different music
No way bro called Elon musk gru 😂😂😂
Watch out bro, elons gonna send you to space like that minion 😂😂😂😂
I was actually shocked when I got this on my feed. It's an amazing video like always, I didn't expect an illumination reaction video XD
8:34 What even are these and why do you know about them!
the minions memes showing up out of the blue every 3 minutes absolutely got me
Fun fact: Agnes has the exact same haircut as Aki from Chainsaw Man
Wtf?

I call the style *candle head*
