“The minions’ native language is part of their unique appeal,” explains Vox. That last point is fascinating if you think about it.

They’re cute, kids think they’re hilarious, and they’re strong enough characters to hold their own movie despite their lack of a fully developed language. That’s what probably made them extra appealing. Instead, they morphed into toddler-like henchmen, quick to spout out nonsense and funny words.


Wanna know another cool thing about these zany characters? The minions were actually supposed to be robots in the movie. Three people get the credit for creating the minions: Eric Guillon, Pierre Coffin, and Chris Renaud. Even if you haven’t seen Despicable Me, you still can recognize a minion when you see one - and that’s the mark of a solid character. As these bumbling yellow fellows have taken over social media, some of the best minion jokes to surface center on how much fun minions’ personalities are. Granted, minion jokes aren’t necessarily the memes you often see. The little yellow guys from Despicable Me gained their own impressive degree of fame for simply being cute. When minions arrived, they took over the world - or at least Facebook for a spell.
