Minions, those yellow, pill-shaped all-male creatures, had the world in a chokehold when the film Despicable Me came out in 2010. AKA Gru's little helpers, they are renowned for being short, yellow, and clad in blue overalls. They also wear goggles, and their eye count may vary between 1 and 2.
With a maximum height of three feet, it's their language that perhaps sent the world into a hysterical fit of laughter when the little creatures made their debut. The yellow little beings only communicate in a dialect unbeknownst to the world, and only Gru seems to understand them.
However, their body language is no less, and while they may not sound comprehensible to us, we can certainly tell just what they're saying or doing based on how they act. All things considered, it makes sense that minions would serve as grounds for thousands, if not millions of memes since its inception. Without further ado, here are 15 of the funniest minion memes to check out.
Here are some throwback Minion memes that are sure to leave you in splits
1) Chocolate, please
Relateable. P.S. This is your daily reminder to eat some more chocolate. Life is too short.
