Meme of the Week: Minions
Remember Facebook? Of course you do! It’s currently the biggest social media platform for every generation. It’s a great family place where your parents can give you a boatload of fun and fresh memes to share around the Internet. One meme has stood the test of time, and it continues to shine through the heap of the ever-changing landscape.
That meme, my friends, is the minion meme.
When the movie Despicable Me hit theaters in 2010, the little yellow guys skyrocketed to fame overnight. Being assistants to their boss, Gru, they became popular through their different personalities and designs. The minions became a way for people, mainly older people, to jump on the meme wagon.
Once you put a minion next to a relatable statement, the likes come rolling in. We have a lot of great zingers from these memes, such as: “They say money talks. Mine just waves goodbye”; “I’ve been hiding from exercise. I’m in the Fitness Protection Program”; and the funniest one of all, “Your father and I are getting a divorce.” All of these amazing phrases are next to emotive minions who really feel for your situation.
So, if you’re stuck on a meme that you want to send your younger, Gen Alpha family member, you should go with a minion meme. They never fail and can bring your family closer together.
