This was 2010, one year after Cameron's Avatar was released, and for a few years after its release almost every family/adventure/fantasy/sci-fi movie had to have at least one sequence shot specifically for 3D. To this day I remember seeing the Hobbit in 2D and some scenes were so obviously shot for 3D they just looked cringe in 2D. It felt like I was at a crappy amusement park, rather than watching an adaptation of Tolkien's work. At least with Despicable Me they weren't trying to hide their intentions ;)
Ha! Awesome! I’m a single dad of a 5, 14 & 16 year old daughters and man the times passing way too fast, scares me. They are my everything and my 2 oldest are at those ages where social life & other things are becoming more important to them, the days of them just wanting to go spend time with dad are becoming fewer and fewer , thank goodness my baby is still really young but man I wish I could slow time down. I saw this in theaters with my 2 oldest girls when they were 7 and 8 years old so it’s definitely a very special movie to me , nothing like seeing your daughters laughing hysterically at a hilarious movie. I hope I can still make mine laugh at the age of yours, must be a good dad. 👍👍
My sister started having kids in '07. This was the first movie/gift I bought for them and a week later my sister called me up saying she was ready to destroy the DVD because they were watching it almost nonstop on repeat.
If you guys haven't watched Megamind before, it's a bit of an overlooked gem that came out same year as despicable me, and is arguably a better take on the villain isn't really the baddie thing. Certainly didn't have the merchandising potential of minions though
The language the minions speak has actually been formulated by the studio. There is grammar to it, even if it seems nonsensical. It shows the depths to which the studio went for this movie. BTW: the minion shorts still available on YT are just amazing. So great. To relieve your minion urges between the movies.
Fun fact: If someone elects to hold their breath indefinitely, the worst case scenario is that they would pass out/lose consciousness, and then begin breathing normally. So if some kid does it at you, in protest, let'em go to town.
If you had no emotional response to Agnes while watching this film, you are a soul-less monster. I hope you guys watch all the Gru/Minions films; they are so good.
This movie, initially, confused me. Until I recognized this was a movie basically for adults. It is superficially a kids movie. But it is really for adults to reconnect with their inner kid self. The voice acting is off the charts fantastic. The minions are incredibly well voiced.
I have great memories of when it was new out and I took it to a sleepover at my friends. His older brother and his friends were also there. Originally they were going to watch a different movie but we somehow all ended up watching this together. Great for all ages
There is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it thing about the Minions in this movie, where there is a schematic of a minion, showing that they are engineered from corn. That was retconned by the Minions movie, though. Btw: Thank you so much for pushing the whole idea of a unicorn with a flesh-coloured horn. Now I'll never be able to not see that. Like a penicorn... I'll see myself out.
not quite retconned. There are the core minions (the ones in the minion movie) and then there are ones that Gru made based on the core minions. If you consider the amount of them in the present day compared to the origin, there is a massive increase. I also believe it was stated that minions don't reproduce, so that must mean any additions would be from that schematic.
Look up "Bob Nelson Football" on youtube. The first video that should come up is about seven and a half minutes. In that comedy skit, Bob talks about something akin to what you call a penicorn. The whole skit is really funny and worth a watch. The full title is "Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Nelson and an Entire Football Team (1984)"
If I had a shrink ray, I’d shrink Disney world to make the worlds coolest, and most detailed miniature railroad setup, and then I would charge people to be shrunk down to go to the parks
This is a very good animated film that is not a Pixar film, which is a great accomplishment! Great reactions to this fun animated gem, Simone & George!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You say Minions look like giant yellow tic tacs. They put banana flavoured yellow 'Minion' Tic Tacs as a tie in with one of the sequels (I think, or maybe it was this movie).
Another amazing, batshit crazy animated film worth a watch (apart from Despicible Me 2!) is the Penguins of Madagascar. Staring John Malkovich and is one hell of a ride. Must have watched Madagascar to get the gist however... Much love to this reaction, you guys always have me in tears
Ahh the merry go round the greatest death contraption kids can play on, im a giant so my role was to get everyone spinning as fast as i could then jump on while not being dragged or flung.
I had TOTALLY forgotten that this movie was reelased in 3D, that's what was going on with the end credits with the Minions, they were trying to reach the audience.
We took the kids to see this movie when we were on holiday in queensland and went during the first session on a tuesday and we were the only ones in the cinema so it was like a private screening
This is such a great movie, I am so glad you guys watched it. I love you both so much, it brings me a lot joy to watch you enjoy these great movies. Just one funny side note, the voice for Gru's mother is the legendary Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music), which makes her so much funnier!
Simone is too cute for words! Please consider reacting to Fast Times at Ridgemont High and/or Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Edit: We don't have GSC in Canada, we have Girl Guide Cookies instead. Only bought them once, I don't think they're nearly as popular here.
This movie is great, its just sad the minions got away from them and stole the spotlight with the rest of the franchise. And yes as others have said, Megamind is brilliant and was sadly underappreciated at the time
Funny thing was I knew an old woman Agnes that coulda been that little girl growing up with how she turned out. She was my first lesson as a young adult that age is just a number.
The animation is amazing, isn't it? The stitching on Gru's space suit, the old-age spots on the faces of both Dr Nefario and the newscaster, and Edith's knit hat actually looks like it was knitted. Sidenote, you may have missed it in the end credits, but Gru's mother was voiced by Mary Poppins herself: Julie Andrews.
14:08 Yes, there was a time when people thought you could cause yourself brain damage by holding your breath, and some kids picked up on that to essentially hold themselves hostage. 14:30 According to the studio, the minions were originally intended to be genetically engineered corn kernels. They proved so popular, though, that they retconned that into something different for subsequent movies. 18:22 Yes you are! 30:47 They're trying to reach into the audience. This was one of the earlier 3D movies, so the director was contractually obligated to have things that showed of the 3D.
I had a cousin who would cry and cry so hard, letting all her air out, that she'd passed out when she was mad. So, yes, it's possible and quite frightening the first time it happens. lol.
Agnes voice actor was the 5 year old, adorable daughter if the director. One of the books in the girls bedroom was the World Encyclopedia of Explosives. The lion was eating the dog, the dog eating the cat, the cat eating the mouse and the mouse eating cheese.
The minions at the end are trying to reach the audience, back in 2010 there was a huge 3D movies craze since avatar came out and Despicable me was also promoted with the 3D tagline
Hi Simone & George, if you happen to see this, have either of you seen "In Bruges"? if not I would highly recommend it and would love to see a reaction for it.
I relate to this movie so much & seeing it was a beautiful Memory as I had the privilege of adopting my 2 oldest daughters at 7 and 8 years old and saw this in theaters with them shortly after they came into my life , so it has a very special place in my heart. (Bytheway, u were wondering what was going on at the end with the minions and ladder , “ approaching the camera “, this was a 3D movie in theaters , and that sequence was really cool with the minion walking accross the ladder out over the movie audience. Was impressive 3d, my daughters LOVED if! After a few years with my 2 angels I Then had baby girl with my ex (their mom) and she is SO much like the little one in the movie , so now as a single dad of 3 amazing daughters ❤❤❤I can really relate to this movie , gets the emotions flowing when they get taken back to the orphanage and the oldest girl is clearly hurt but trying to protect and be strong for her sisters. It was such an amazing experince suddenly having 2 daughters at ages where we could go do things together and attend their gymnastics , tumbling and cheer events as their dad. Giving them the Love they deserved their whole life has changed my life forever, so amazingly rewarding but feeling their Love back & bieng called daddy by them and my baby is the greatest happiness I could ever imagine. Sadly orphanage adoptions very often end up bad, in the US you can make a good amount of money for adopting orphans so alot of terrible people adopt a bunch of kids and treat them horribly and use the money on themselves . Abuse cases are high as well when children are adopted at older ages. Makes me sick. I adopted my girls from their POS disappointment of a biological father that wanted $25,000 then I could “have them” I ran to an attorney, got everything drawn up, pulled the funds out of the bank and had signed papers from him the next day. In 6 years he came to see them once but actually came to snowboard for a week , asked me to take them to a movie and drop them off , then asked me to pay for them and text halfway thru the movie and asked me to come get them becasue he was going snowboarding. It broke their hearts , he told them he’d come say goodbye before he left and never did , didn’t even call. Seeing a 7 and 8 years girls embarrassed and heart broken destroyed me. I decided right then I was going to do my best to take that pain and disappoint away and be the dad they deserved. I asked them a week later how they would feel about me adopting them from their bio dad, the smiles on their faces are and excitement is soenthinbrg I’ll always remember! They started calling me daddy that day. They are SO amazing and the most loving daughters anyone could ask for as well as amazing big sisters to my youngest daughter. If you have the desire to be a parent through thick and thin & do it for the right reasons, forever, adopting children that are older than babies is truly life changing for them as well as you. Babies get adopted SO fast and people wait on waiting lists for years and years to adopt an infant while children 5, 6, 7 , 12, , 14 years old rarely get looked at except by terrible human beings. They hope and pray to be adopted and continually get passed over and disappointed and becasue of that, if you adopt them and Love them as your own , the Love they return is so powerful. I Love this movie because this single bachelor initially takes then in for anterior motives but almost instantly falls in love with them experiencing fatherhood and total love and adoration from his new daughters changing their lives and his. I’m not an evil villain and didn’t have anterior motives but they were SO much like the girls in the movie in so many ways and they quickly become his everything as my girls have to me. If anyone ever has the desire to change a child’s life that’s feeling hopeless and abandoned, it’s an experience on the level of having a baby of your own in terms of what an amazing change you experince and a Love you’ve never felt in your life. Little bit of a rant, sorry , just a special movie to me and my girls, happy you enjoyed it so much and how much you loved the girls in the movie. You both have great hearts, it’s very clear and if either or both of you at some point chose to become parents I can tell you’ll both be amazing parents. ❤
The end credits minions are trying to get closer to the camera because the movie was in 3-D (and this was around the first advent of Digital 3D, so full color), and a lot of movies were adding more gimmicks to justify the inflated ticket price.
The next one (Despicable Me 2) is excellent, maybe better than the original. The characters in this movie were immediately recognizable when this movie came out: Vector is Bill Gates; The bank manager is the Pointy Hair Boss from the Dilbert comic strip. The newscaster is David Muir. And also of note: Gru's mother is voiced by Julie Andrews.
Loved this movie!!! i will say.... The sequels aren't that bad either... they're all pretty cute!!... totally worth it for the Minions & also in 2 & 3 Kristin Wiig is a character 😄
I always make it a point to say "Clink!" Every time me and the boys have drinks and somebody says cheers🔥😂 Side note: DM2 is such a good movie too, very quotable lol
Fun fact: the minions actually speak the artificial language of Esperanto! (or at least inspired by it. I don't know how consistent the filmmakers where on that point)
It it my belief that Gru's name is based on the G.R.U. They were a cold war compliment to the K.G.B., Soviet military intelligence service. Girl Scout cookies, my daughter used to be one. Available in the early spring. Where I live they set up a card table in front of a store, like a Safeway or a Lowe's, and sell them. Of course the parents ply their co workers for a substantial potion of the take (What you gonna do when I bend the block?). Despicable Me 2 is really funny as well.
7:03 George's use for a shrink ray reminds me of Jimmy Bond's plot in 1967's "Casino Royale" to use a biological weapon that would make all women beautiful and kill all men taller than him.
My guy, you do not want to shrink everyone else in the world so you can be taller. Your life will become a perpetual nightmare of constant strangers asking "Can you reach that for me?" Except you wouldn't actually be taller, cause you just shrank everyone else, so all the stuff on the top shelves of the world would still be where it was before and if you couldn't reach it already well. And you don't wanna do the inverse of just making yourself taller, cause the world is def not made for you. I'm 6'3 and constantly walk into low hanging objects and even make contact with some doorways.
Man it's such a shame they milked the absolute fuck out of this franchise (the minions in particular), because this first film was legitimately hilarious!
What is the fluffiest thing you've ever held?
Fun little fact, they had an app on for your phone where it translated the minions so you could understand them.
Dunno about a physical thing... have held one or two concepts or ideas that might meet that description..
How have you not had her watch "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy yet?" :-)
My dog when he was a baby ❤️🥹
A chinchilla. No contest.
Fun reaction 😄. The end credits scenes were made for viewing in 3D in cinemas. That's why they are trying to get close to the viewer.
It was totally unexpected and had the entire screening in peels of laughter when I first saw it. (In 3D.)
The 3D on this actually looks really good. This is one of the few 3D Blu rays I own, but my cat ruined the TV and I haven't replaced it. Womp womp.
This was 2010, one year after Cameron's Avatar was released, and for a few years after its release almost every family/adventure/fantasy/sci-fi movie had to have at least one sequence shot specifically for 3D.

It felt like I was at a crappy amusement park, rather than watching an adaptation of Tolkien's work. At least with Despicable Me they weren't trying to hide their intentions ;)
I can still make my daughters (29 and 33) laugh out loud, just by shouting:"it's so fluffy!"
Ha! Awesome! I’m a single dad of a 5, 14 & 16 year old daughters and man the times passing way too fast, scares me. They are my everything and my 2 oldest are at those ages where social life & other things are becoming more important to them, the days of them just wanting to go spend time with dad are becoming fewer and fewer , thank goodness my baby is still really young but man I wish I could slow time down. I saw this in theaters with my 2 oldest girls when they were 7 and 8 years old so it’s definitely a very special movie to me , nothing like seeing your daughters laughing hysterically at a hilarious movie. I hope I can still make mine laugh at the age of yours, must be a good dad. 👍👍
My sister started having kids in '07. This was the first movie/gift I bought for them and a week later my sister called me up saying she was ready to destroy the DVD because they were watching it almost nonstop on repeat.
This quote is now one of the most famous line ever!
If you guys haven't watched Megamind before, it's a bit of an overlooked gem that came out same year as despicable me, and is arguably a better take on the villain isn't really the baddie thing. Certainly didn't have the merchandising potential of minions though
MEGAMIND MEGAMIND MEGAMIND
Omg yes please watch Megamind it’s great
Yes! MEGAMIND!
Megamind is really underrated
I agree. It's a much better film than Despicable Me. I like them both.
The “you have a face….como un burro” line kills me every damn time I see this movie 😂
I think these guys missed that joke. Burro is a donkey in Spanish, burrito means little donkey!
The language the minions speak has actually been formulated by the studio. There is grammar to it, even if it seems nonsensical. It shows the depths to which the studio went for this movie.
BTW: the minion shorts still available on YT are just amazing. So great. To relieve your minion urges between the movies.
The language spoken by Minions includes words from French, English, Spanish, Hindi, and Korean.
Fun fact: If someone elects to hold their breath indefinitely, the worst case scenario is that they would pass out/lose consciousness, and then begin breathing normally. So if some kid does it at you, in protest, let'em go to town.

We got a new cat when this movie came out. We named her Agnes because she was SO FLUFFY

I love the minions so much! Every single movie they’re in brings me joy. The rise of Gru had me laughing harder than every kid in the theater. 😂
You guys should watch Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.
Epic movie
That would be great
It did not mean...to blow their minds...
@@BJBee
But that sh*t happens to me all the time
The credit sequence with the minions made more sense when watched in 3D in a cinema
George -"most things need to get bigger" and Simone just gets more sweet and adorable. No wonder people love to hang out with you.
In case you missed it Gru’s mom is the _legendary_ Julie Andrews. I have no idea how they got her to voice cast this movie. 🤣
This is a very good animated film that is not a Pixar film, which is a great accomplishment! Great reactions to this fun animated gem, Simone & George!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Just remember that the movie was in 3D vision, which explains the jokes during the end credits.
All this shrink ray talk have you guys seen *(Honey I Shrunk The Kids)* an *80's* classic
30:48 When this movie was released it was also in theaters (In 3D).
"It's like Magrathea!"
"What?"
Has she never seen him in that shirt???
You say Minions look like giant yellow tic tacs. They put banana flavoured yellow 'Minion' Tic Tacs as a tie in with one of the sequels (I think, or maybe it was this movie).
It’s so fluffy! 🦄
Another amazing, batshit crazy animated film worth a watch (apart from Despicible Me 2!) is the Penguins of Madagascar. Staring John Malkovich and is one hell of a ride. Must have watched Madagascar to get the gist however... Much love to this reaction, you guys always have me in tears
Yes I'm a big kid but I absolutely love this film.
Ahh the merry go round the greatest death contraption kids can play on, im a giant so my role was to get everyone spinning as fast as i could then jump on while not being dragged or flung.
CineBinge: The Tour.
CineBinge On Ice.
So much potential there.
They did make Minion Tic Tacs. They had faces and were bandana flavored.
The bank president is a larger, fatter version of the Pointy Haired Boss from the Dilbert comics.
I had TOTALLY forgotten that this movie was reelased in 3D, that's what was going on with the end credits with the Minions, they were trying to reach the audience.
I’d recommend “Horton Hears a Who” for another animated movie with Steve Carrell
Love that movie
We took the kids to see this movie when we were on holiday in queensland and went during the first session on a tuesday and we were the only ones in the cinema so it was like a private screening
This is such a great movie, I am so glad you guys watched it. I love you both so much, it brings me a lot joy to watch you enjoy these great movies.

LOVE the minions on first sight. They are so hilarious. xD
wasn't the sign: "Bank of Evil - formally Goldman Sachs"?
Simone is too cute for words!
Please consider reacting to Fast Times at Ridgemont High and/or Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Edit: We don't have GSC in Canada, we have Girl Guide Cookies instead. Only bought them once, I don't think they're nearly as popular here.
The greatest Girl Scout cookie ever made is the Thin Mint. Toss them in the freezer, and oh my god; I could eat an entire sleeve of them.
This movie is great, its just sad the minions got away from them and stole the spotlight with the rest of the franchise. And yes as others have said, Megamind is brilliant and was sadly underappreciated at the time
the flashbacks to sharing a room with my sister and her talking to her plush cat are real...
I’m still gobsmacked that Julie Andrews voiced Gru’s mother.
D m 2 is a stone cold classic
The minions movie is the origin story of the minions, they are an ancient race that is destined to work for the most horrible person, it's hilarous.
Great reaction. This is one our whole family can enjoy - you might also really like 'How to train your Dragon'
Vector always reminded me of a young Bill Gates
Funny thing was I knew an old woman Agnes that coulda been that little girl growing up with how she turned out. She was my first lesson as a young adult that age is just a number.
The minion movies are amazing.. and that language is not gibberish.. straight up Tolkien style work went into it
This was freakin great😂💙
Please consider doing AFTERSUN. Most beautiful movie I've seen all year.
a shrink ray would be great - think of all the garbage
Great reaction guys! Also are guys still gonna react to It Chapter two soon? And every scream banana in the chat!🍌
If you want to see some great animation and a great animated movie watch Rango.
May God always bless whoever is reading and your families too!
BUY the cookies!
i love this
Can you guys watch Despicable Me 2.
The animation is amazing, isn't it? The stitching on Gru's space suit, the old-age spots on the faces of both Dr Nefario and the newscaster, and Edith's knit hat actually looks like it was knitted. Sidenote, you may have missed it in the end credits, but Gru's mother was voiced by Mary Poppins herself: Julie Andrews.
Her best line that was cut, but I think is on the director's cut Blu-ray.
"I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!"
Simone loving Agnes is just the thing we all needed to start 2023 off with
14:08 Yes, there was a time when people thought you could cause yourself brain damage by holding your breath, and some kids picked up on that to essentially hold themselves hostage.

30:47 They're trying to reach into the audience. This was one of the earlier 3D movies, so the director was contractually obligated to have things that showed of the 3D.
At the end of the movie when the minions are trying to reach out towards the screen... The movie was in theaters in 3D
in my opinion the best use of 3D in any film
Believe it or not, Minion TikTaks we're actually a promotional item released around the film.
I LOVE that Gru's mother is played by Julie Andrews lol
I had a cousin who would cry and cry so hard, letting all her air out, that she'd passed out when she was mad. So, yes, it's possible and quite frightening the first time it happens. lol.
George, you have no idea how awesome it is to see someone randomly dropping Hitchhikers Guide references.
They need to react to HHGTTG but the BBC tv series rather than the Disney Movie
@@madmatt4242 Absolutely. The only thing the movie got right was Marvin, imho.
Agnes voice actor was the 5 year old, adorable daughter if the director. One of the books in the girls bedroom was the World Encyclopedia of Explosives. The lion was eating the dog, the dog eating the cat, the cat eating the mouse and the mouse eating cheese.
The minions at the end are trying to reach the audience, back in 2010 there was a huge 3D movies craze since avatar came out and Despicable me was also promoted with the 3D tagline
This is actually one of the few modern franchises that I'm always excited for a new movie. Combining charm with heart! LOVE 'EM!
Hi Simone & George, if you happen to see this, have either of you seen "In Bruges"? if not I would highly recommend it and would love to see a reaction for it.

Adopting kids is not a privilege, that's a burden. I am sorry to hear you did it to yourself.
@@azazello1784 My mum would argue cuz shrle LOVES children I mean she is a social worker after all lol
By Simone's reaction at 16:59, her favorite kind of cookie is YES
The end credits minions are trying to get closer to the camera because the movie was in 3-D (and this was around the first advent of Digital 3D, so full color), and a lot of movies were adding more gimmicks to justify the inflated ticket price.
George trying to establish logic in an animated kids comedy is so on brand.
I'm not surprised you've never seen it before. In fact, that was fun.
I AM surprised you've never HEARD of it before. Mostly minions.
The next one (Despicable Me 2) is excellent, maybe better than the original. The characters in this movie were immediately recognizable when this movie came out: Vector is Bill Gates; The bank manager is the Pointy Hair Boss from the Dilbert comic strip. The newscaster is David Muir. And also of note: Gru's mother is voiced by Julie Andrews.
Now you should watch the entire franchise
Can we take a moment to appreciate how perfect Simone's makeup is? Truly impressive!
PLEASE react to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas starring Johnny Depp.
Despicable me is TOP Tier I love all of em 🎉🎉🎉 I’m super happy y’all loved this movie
Are you serious? This movie is pathetic. Gru didn't kill anyone throughout the entire movie. What kind of villain is that?
The Minions at the end were trying to see who could reach out the farthest.
The minion movie was actually great. I didn’t know how it would work but it did!
Best parts are Simone peaking out the levels imitating the girl, and also the kitty book making her sleepy
Loved this movie!!! i will say.... The sequels aren't that bad either... they're all pretty cute!!... totally worth it for the Minions & also in 2 & 3 Kristin Wiig is a character 😄
Minions don't speak English but it works in the movies by surrounding them with English speakers, context clues, and sometimes a narrator.
I always make it a point to say "Clink!" Every time me and the boys have drinks and somebody says cheers🔥😂
Side note: DM2 is such a good movie too, very quotable lol
Fun fact: the minions actually speak the artificial language of Esperanto! (or at least inspired by it. I don't know how consistent the filmmakers where on that point)
"The Bank of Evil (formally Lehman Brothers)" Not astonished you didn't get that 2008 financial crisis reference.
It it my belief that Gru's name is based on the G.R.U. They were a cold war compliment to the K.G.B., Soviet military intelligence service. Girl Scout cookies, my daughter used to be one. Available in the early spring. Where I live they set up a card table in front of a store, like a Safeway or a Lowe's, and sell them. Of course the parents ply their co workers for a substantial potion of the take (What you gonna do when I bend the block?). Despicable Me 2 is really funny as well.
*Girl Scout Cookies 101* everybody claims *Thin Mints* are the best I disagree *Caramel Delights* are the ish
7:03 George's use for a shrink ray reminds me of Jimmy Bond's plot in 1967's "Casino Royale" to use a biological weapon that would make all women beautiful and kill all men taller than him.
My guy, you do not want to shrink everyone else in the world so you can be taller. Your life will become a perpetual nightmare of constant strangers asking "Can you reach that for me?" Except you wouldn't actually be taller, cause you just shrank everyone else, so all the stuff on the top shelves of the world would still be where it was before and if you couldn't reach it already well. And you don't wanna do the inverse of just making yourself taller, cause the world is def not made for you. I'm 6'3 and constantly walk into low hanging objects and even make contact with some doorways.
I would shrink down the plastic patch in the Ocean from the size 3 times of France, to lets say a light bulb. :)
I didn't watch this, but can somebody clue me in as to why they're watching kids movie? Is it for adults and I'm misjudging it?
MOAR ANIMATION! RIGHT MEOW!!! 🐈🐈⬛🐈
I love the bank sign. If you look closer, in fine print below it says "Formerly Lehman Brothers" XD
By the way... the Vector character looks shockingly similar to John Oliver.
AGNES is the 1st reason I watch this movie,, she's so adorable..
Man it's such a shame they milked the absolute fuck out of this franchise (the minions in particular), because this first film was legitimately hilarious!
You know who also says despicable? Daffy Duck he always said that to Bugs Bunny: "You're Despicable"
Your intro makes me think y'all need to do Pitch Perfect! :)
The minions are basically immortal and almost indestructible.
