Why Minions Are The Worst | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

I still remember the day that "Despicable Me" came out. Everyone was raving about this new movie and how adorable all of the characters were, including some weird alien-like yellow beings who apparently had their own language. Eventually, I got the opportunity to see this movie that everyone was talking about, and I was pleasantly impressed. The film was pretty adorable, and the addition of these little yellow creatures helped to bring it all together. Little did I know that soon I would see these things as among my worst enemies.

That's right. I hate Minions. I can't stand them or the ideas they represent. Here's a list of why minions are pretty much the worst things ever created:

1. They probably worked for Hitler.

Yep, that's right, your beloved minions follow the world's biggest supervillains—and let's be honest, one of the biggest villains was Adolf Hitler.

2. They don't even speak a known language.

What is the actual point of watching a movie where literally no one understands what they're saying?

3. They're not even cute!

They look like walking tic-tacs. What is the appeal of that?

4. They are absolutely everywhere you look.

The next time you're at Target or Walmart, just take a gander at how many minion products you will see. I promise that it will sicken you. That my friends, is capitalism at its best.

5. Those stupid minion posts that your grandma posts on Facebook.

Why, just why do middle-aged women and older people have to post inspirational quotes with a minion in the corner on Facebook? I'm sorry, Linda, but what does a minion have to do with the quote "Smile, you're prettier that way"?

6. The Minion movie is meant for children, yet they're sexualized.

How does someone sexualize a literal walking yellow bean? By putting a thong on it, of course.

7. Minions are now taking over weddings.

Please, I am begging you, do not have a minion-themed wedding. You will regret this.

8. People are now getting minion tattoos.

I didn't think it was possible to hate yourself this much, but alas.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
