I love how these goofy little minions are actually ancient, immortal beings who existed throughout the entire history of the world
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
So … Discount Smurfs? Even copied the evil purple (“gnap”) Smurfs storyline
@@p-__okay
It kinda takes away from how gru made them
The intentional skipping of the 1900s implies that they absolutely would have been on board with... uh... well
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
Yeah, I would hope not though. Cause that’s … ew. Even if they don’t quite understand. But I can’t imagine the same creatures that want Gru to go to a dance concert & were sad when his adopted kids were taken by the adopting agency are the same ones that would align with a dictator/bigot
*cough* yeaaaaaaaaa
ironicly that would start horribly but end golden
Or WW2 would have been very different… shorter and with a few less camp stories… maybe.
I love how there is no mention of how the Queen gets into a bar fight at one point in the video
No because not mentioning that is CRAZY!!!! IT'S ONE OF THE FUNNIEST PARTS OF THE FILM!!!! You're just chilling and then Queen Elizabeth 2 pops up like "Oh my God...I've been sacked! What do I do with my life?" Only to find a love for bar fighting just as she's put back into power 😭
Now we just need Alex to review Shrek.
As funny as it would be... I would *genuinely* like to hear his thoughts on Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Because it is apart of the Shrekverse.
As miserable as Shrek the Third is... I do feel he'd enjoy Puss In Boots TLW.
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
didnt he already view the last wish?
Given his taste in entertainment I find it difficult to believe that he somehow missed watching ALL of these movies when they came out originally and is only discovering them in his 30s. He was a teen watching Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel when the SHREK movies came out so he’s most likely seen them.
i remember him doing it but i cabt find it anywhere
I'm sorry what shrek the third is the best one 😭😭
9:31 she's the evilest, not the most tech savvy. He can make her weapons as long as she's making the evil plans
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
Exactly. Like Herb could be making all these things and still have pure intentions. But Scarlet is the one DOING evil things with his inventions.
I do love Scarlet and Herb's relationship, it's actually goals
I think that's the only redeeming thing in that movie she was evil but loving and supportive to her partner he was to her too it was sweet.
For some reason, I really like the first minions movie, despite finding the minions annoying in the main series. I watched it for the first time with my mum and when it got to the part where the king's guard threw off their helmets and revealed their luscious locks, we both laughed so hard we had to rewind the movie by about 5 minutes once we finally caught our breath.
I think that’s all this movie really needs to be: dumb, nonsensical fun where you turn off your brain and just enjoy the stupidity. People always complain that Illumination movies are bad, but I think they’re the fast food of animation. And who doesn’t love a little fast food once in a while?
I agree with you. I think this is the only movie where they're tolerable
@@PretendingToBeAHuman hard disagree. I'm a frequent movie rewatcher, and I only saw this once. Didn't feel worth revisiting. The other minion movie though, rise of gru, that one is good.
Wow! Good job writing, considering you must be 3 years old to enjoy this movie.
I do love turning my brain off for the sillies
@@TheLoneWolf_1013yes we get it you were insulted when that insect proved its junk was bigger then yours but you don’t need to take it out on the internet.
6:15 "he said i was really mature for my age" left me gagged, i was speechless, that was so unexpected that all i could do was sit and stare at the monitor, schlabbergasted
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
@@p-__I could’ve been given 1000 years in purgatory and I still would’ve never come close to thinking of this sentence
Illumination struck gold with the first despicable milk and milked it way too much
@@Raine.in.love. “despicable milk” noice 👍
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
Yip that cow has no milk left 😅
Milk? Hmmmmm ok 👌 ✅🆗🙂
Nonsense,WE NEED MORE MOVIES
You brought up an interesting point that I always bring up to people when you said “And I know, it’s just a kids movie. But How To Train Your Dragon is a kids movie”. Having a younger target audience is not an excuse for your film to be unwatchable for other ages. There are so many movies that are entertaining for all ages. If a writer struggles to give a family movie an interesting plot, it’s not because making a movie for adults and kids is somehow ‘paradoxical’, it’s because the writer is lazy and not creative enough to come up with something good. Megamind was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and it remains like that when so many other childhood classics have gotten worse.
One of my favorite movie critics gave the second Sonic movie a very high rating because “It’s nothing great, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a movie about Sonic, what do you expect? The plot is cliche and a lot of the jokes fall flat, but it’s a kids movie”. One of the greatest animated movies of all time is about a panda learning Kung Fu. Ridiculous, seemingly childish plots can have good writing.
All- well not all, but the majority of Pixar movies do this and the proof is in their continued success.
httyd had my mom and i BAWLING our eyes out in theaters while my little brother ate popcorn off the floor. Those movies are exceptional, and absolutely should be a standard that YES kids movies CAN have substance while being entertaining. Meanful movies can absolutely still be fun for kids
And kids are so much smarter than we give them credit for. Kids deserve good movies too.
The httyd movies are above average at best, average because they are far from original. The cliche "friendless loser outcast kid is all like, 'But guys what if being different is a good thing?' And Just like that racism is ended; the girl character spent her whole life training and being disciplined only for the main star to accidentally his way into being the main attraction and she has no choice to join him (or kiss him). Not to mention they're already very loose book adaptations of a much better, deep and original franchise.
A truly next level kids movie is The Incredibles or any of the PG Studio Ghibli movies.
I could watch it. I think these comments about age demographics and being digestible for all ages is a certain group of people. I really enjoy bizarre niche accidental Tom foolery that causes unnecessary mistakes and just chaos. I can understand it gets annoying at some point but it’s to help turn your mind off when you don’t really want to always observe to much information. It’s a break. It doesn’t have to be perfect it’s just existing which is like a way to take mental pressures off. There is no real logic because there doesn’t have to be. That’s why older women, like grandma likes it. Life is hard why does every story need to keep the same strict route? There are people who unironically like them for that reason. It’s really snobby at some point to actually deem something childish when it’s really about personality and personal interest and just because I enjoyed the rambunctious stuff doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the more serious movies with adult tones or dislike atla. If anything those are my favourite but I still understand why people love minions. It’s a breath of fresh air to just not take anything seriously at all.
Alex’s running joke of purchasing something for “two nickels and a raspberry” kills me every time. It’s so stupid, but it’s so funny.
My favorite is “don’t forget to drink your Ovaltine” whenever a character is reading something
Storytime: years ago when this movie came out my great grandparents were in town, and my parents thought it would be a great idea for us all to go see it in theaters.
Keep in mind they were my GREAT grandparents, who were quite literally almost 100 years old.
They came out of that theater extremely confused, mildy horrified, and appalled at how "inappropriate" kids movies had become. Also my great grandfather died a week later. Coincidence? I think not
The last sentence knocked me out
5:29 My guy, they're in New York. It'd take a Godzilla level threat for them to even bat an eye
I really want to know Alex opinion on Flushed Away. Cause that movie is a fever dream
YES
But it was a good fever dream
@@michaelgardinjr4523 Sure, but I was trying to convey that I also wanted Alex to review that film
No matter your opinions on the movie itself, can we all agree Scarlett Overkill and Herb absolutely *CARRIED* this movie
ABSOLUTELY. I wish we got a little more of Herb sometimes but then I'm like "nah we got the perfect amount" THEY WERE LIKE....aaaaaahggg. I had a crush on both of them when I was younger tho so yk, probably bias. But I also just thought they were funny and awesome.
3:20 What do you mean "Speak French"?!😭😭😭
Banana is French now? 😭
@@_Tophee_ Banane is, not banana
what I really didn’t understand about despicable me and minions is that every villain has to have a secret base but they are not hidden or very secret at all, you can just walk by scarlet overkills house right now. Can we also talk about that how come the anti villain league can’t even find a secret base but it’s in plain sight.
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT RANGO ITS SUCH A CLASSIC 😭🙏🙏🙏
YES YES RANGO
I used to love that movie
goated movie
The Larry The Cucumber Veggietales reference!!! My man!!! Bravo!!!!🎉🎉🎉 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I really like the effort put into animation and reacting. Really makes this channel stand out.

@@peterparker196 This guy commented this under almost every comment. It’s a bot
@@QueenK-popUnnie oh
Since the Minions proved to be the most popular characters, it was inevitable that they would get their own spinoff and merchandise.
Minions control my life
I actually really liked minions when it came out (but I was also 10 ish 2015 so). It felt fun and refreshing and I didn’t really see the need for it to be anything else. Definitely a movie I’d let my future kid watch
I love listening to you describe your self imposed suffering.
Not so Fun fact: The Minions speak Minionese. A FICTION LANGUAGE (ITS NOT REAL)
It's combination of English, Spanish other languages and random gibberish.
How is that not a fun fact?
@@garrysmith1029 Idk.

Omfg stoooooppppp spamming this everywhere!!@@p-__
I still don’t know why Illumination would make a spin-off movie for the Minions. This is basically making a spin-off movie for Jar-Jar Binks. Made to make little kids laugh, and annoy the parents watching.
Children today have the attention span of a goldfish, and their parents just put these for them just so they don't annoy theme
Well I thought it was actually kinda good. I mean, honestly yeah crazy decision but like??? It's surprisingly not bad.
Disney would lovwme a JarJar movie right about now.
Would be better than what else they made.
The implication of the minions siding with the Germans have they not go to hibernation makes that scene 10 times funnier and terrifying for reasons we should not dig deeper
9:01 Jaffa cakes are god tier. I am convinced there is no better snack.
2:19 video starts
9:03 there's actually a weird bit of history why Hershey's chocolate tastes... _like that_
During WW2 when rationing was going on, fresh milk became very expensive. Pasteurization wasn't a thing yet, so milk would spoil by the end of the day if it wasn't used up. Milton Hershey bought up this old milk and dehydrated it to a powder, both to make his milk chocolate cheaper to produce and to help out struggling dairy farms.
This cheaper (and nastier) version of Hershey Chocolate was incorporated into the war rations of US soldiers, and because of how rare treats like that were on the war front, chocolate became a comfort item for them. When WW2 ended, returning soldiers were sad that chocolate back home just didnt taste the same as the stuff they had in the war.
Hershey ended up keeping the war time recipe because it was popular with the former soldiers, and it has stuck ever since. Nowadays they use butryic acid for their ✨️signature✨️ flavor instead of powderized spoiled milk due to potential health concerns with the latter
The More You Know 🌈🌟
It may have started that way but no, its just capitalism at the end, its just cheaper and (americans dont know any better) to use these, hershey has so less actual chocolate in it that it isnt even 'classified' as chocolate in europe.
PLEASE DO A VIDEO ABOUT DISNEY'S "ZAPPED"!!! 😓
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
YES!
I concur with this
Danny Gonzalez made a video about Zapped, you could probably check it out
I think he did?
Edit: nvm I was thinking of someone else :
0:19 *_s h u t_*
03:49 lmaoo yeah idk if we’d look at the minions the same after that one

Tonight we steal ze moon
The despicable me movies keep on coming
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
True
You should review Kubo and The Two Strings
5:11 that was a very...specific reference 🤔
The link was purple lol, which means he’s been on it 😭😭
@@serenityloudin125 just trying to figure out how deep the joke goes or if that was just fully a self-reveal 🤣
7:44 Now seriously, my ancestors were maids of Elizabeth Bathory, for real, and at my school age I though "wow, that is so cool, right guys?"
I love this movie. It’s my favorite Illumination movie.
15:15 To be fair, Gru's style is pretty outdated, looking like how the mid-20th Century interpreted sci-fi future technology.
"praise alex" we say in unison
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
Praise Alex
"Sailor Moon Pictures"😂😂

If they did that they'd lose funding so they only hit a few every budget renewal season.
As a New Yorker, the minions running around Manhattan while no one gives a shit they're there checks out XD
we need a video about legend of the seeker
12:31
I WAS JUST TRYING TO WATCH A MOVIE REVIEW- NOW I GET JUMPSCARED BY SOMETHING YUGIOH RELATED?! also I'm definitely not concerned about the fact bob wants more yami fanfic.. Yeah..
0:45 “Every soccer mom and 6-year old with brain damage” Lmao 😂
My family and I watch this movie every year to remember my best friend. He loved the minions.
You'll probably hate me for making these joke, but did you friend died of brainrot?
@@juliangandara9552 you know, there are appropriate places for jokes, and under a comment saying their friend died is not one of them. be better dude.
@@juliangandara9552😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 not funny
@@juliangandara9552not only incredibly inappropriate, but also riddled with grammatical errors. Talk about brainrot
Scarlett Overkill is by far the best part of the movie. I genuinely think she’s really funny
I LOVE the Minions. I have watched this movie a million times and I don't plan to stop😉.
Can you do the movie “If” next?
I remember watching minions when it first came out, not thinking much of it "oh well, that was a kinda passable movie if anything not terrible but not good at all"
Then later on, I looked at its box office only to realise it made over a billion dollars and soon after I realised just how much I despised them ruining the word minion.
Alex my boy, you gotta do this movie called Stardust. Literally a fever dream at some points, youd love it
My guy, you have not LIVED til you've watched the hot mess that is Thomas & The Magic Railroad...
Beware, it had die hard fans that will die on the hill of it being the best movie ever made. I know as a die hard fan of Thomas the Tank Engine, and someone who agrees it’s a hot mess along the lines of Shark Tale.
I saw this years ago when given the choice between it and Finding Dory and the amount of regret I feel-
i was just saying i wish a new alex meyers video would come out and it did! it made my night
I can't say why but I love these movies. They are easy to watch and highly entertaining. I guess I do know why.
In all honesty, this is probably my most favorite movie from this franchise.
It's so increadibly dumb and stupid, it becomes great again somehow.
Sponsor ends 2:20
Great video keep up the good work
Scarlett overkill is the best villain in the despicable me universe. She's just so much fun to watch, I love her design and her villain energy❤❤❤.
Me too ❤
I actually thought this film was alright, I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Despicable me 3 though..... not so much
It's crazy how DM3 is WORSE than Minions. That shouldn't happen and YET
Kid me loved this movie when it came out
You know, they could have just skipped over it and not mentioned things. But no, they had to tacitly admit the Minions would have happily been goose stepping through Germany b
The franchise used to be fun, but now, it's just getting despicable.
This movie was first movie I saw in theaters
This is the first video that came out while I’ve been subbed! I’ve watched so many of your videos!!!
Do Set It Up the 2018 Netflix romcom staring Glenn Powell and Zoey Deutch please
6:03: STOP THIS IS PERFECT
yer art style is cool
I think so too
Wow an Elizabth Bathori reference, I wasn't expecting that
Nostalgia
12:06 DID THEY SAY TIKKA MASALA?!
Yes, they did :D
RIGHT?!? I HAD TO REPLAY IT SEVERAL TIMES
@@Aphelion.s_Abysswhat does it mean? 😭
@@MaroonLemonade1 it's an indian dish
I love how scarlet overkills flying machine Hase a huge exhaust in the back and still managed to go upwards instead of straight in to the wall.😂
I unironically love this movie. It is just pure stupidity and absurdity and doesn’t try to be anything else. Which I appreciate.
I love Scarlet Overkill. She is THE MOMENT 💃
My favorite part was Sailor Moon pictures w/ safe search off
3:32 this scene is better than the entire Napoleon movie from last year. Ugh that movie was garbage
3:52 "Tonight we steal zzee moon"
Unironically I think this movie has one of the best soundtracks of any movie
How To Train Your Dragon, James Cameron's Avatar, Kung Fu Panda, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Owls of Ga'hoole.... I don't think Minions is anywhere near the top 15 of movie soundtracks
@@iclynnx not original music but look at the actual songs they used, almost everyone of them is incredible
@@iclynnx also king fu pandas is very forgettable, and I’ve even played it on trumpet
@@Odinisgreat Kung Fu Panda? Forgettable? That is objectively not true, when SO MANY PEOPLE can recognize the soundtrack. I can hear it in my head right now! How dare you...
@@iclynnx I’m not saying it’s bad I’m just saying that of all of the movie you named it has the most forgettable original soundtrack
5:55 I live in Florida! Common Florida W
This is one of the best movies to watch whatever age so don’t diss it Alex…
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
You do realise these are kids' movies right, so ofc there would be humour, Minions are the best part of DM films and saying that they are bad makes no sense since they are for children
Minions (2015) feels like it exclusively exists (well if we exclude profits) to set up Rise of Gru cuz that movie is alot better and has more effort than the original Minions.
Still waiting for the day that Alex acknowledges the difference between kids movies and family movies.
Britishish here and enjoyed hearing you talk about food in the UK. The amount of absolute bollox said online about English food is shocking. Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip to London!
Monster munch mentioned 🔥🔥🔥
i think i blocked out of my memory watching this movie. This is bringing back war flashbacks xd
Nunca le preguntes a una mujer su edad a un hombre su salario y a los minions que hacian en los años 40
I CANNOT WAIT. To hear Alex’s thoughts on the wild robot. I cried 3 times
As an American, a Jaffa cake is pure gold. That's like finding the Ark of the Covenant.
6:17 Oh my sweet Jesus, Alex, that's... wow didn't expect that from you
10:31 I don't understand this complaint. There is more than one orphanage. Also, this was long before Gru's girls were born. Why would they need to tie it together?
8:02 i love this line delivery, idk how they got Sandra Bollock in this movie or why she tried so hard for an Illumination cash grab but i fear she ate here
Sandra slayed as always
12:52 “why does this assistant guy look like Larry the Cucumber?”
I cant unsee it Alex HE DOES💀
Have the lowest expectations possible for the last one. When I saw it I was underwhelmed
Hey, thanks for the Bathory! Her castle is near my town! 😎
Well congrats on watching the minions movie 🎉 (honestly idk why but I felt like this matched the vibe of the title)
My farts are better than Alex Meyers' farts.
Everyone asks what the minions were doing in the 1940s but never asks what they were doing in 2001
As a 31 y/o the minions butt jokes are funny and Bob the king would have brought world peace FOR SURE! (By accident but still)
