For years now, the lovable minions have been all over the place… For better or for worse.
And as cringy as they can be; you have to admit, they can be charming at times. But have you ever
stopped to wonder about the origins of these yellow creatures? Or the deeper meaning behind
their behaviour and motivations? I mean, probably not, but we’re still going to make this video.
We'll be diving headfirst into the world of minions, exploring the most fascinating
and mind-bending theories that surround these beloved-slash-hated characters. So sit back,
grab some bananas, and join us as we separate these theories, from the BS to Truthbombs!
Let’s start with our first category. These theories either have so many
holes that they can’t possibly be true… they lack evidence… or
they’ve been confirmed false by creators. These Theories are B.S.
Let’s start with: The True Origins of the Minions There is a fascinating theory out there about the
origins of these beloved yellow creatures. According to this theory by reddit user
gingersnap1138, the Minions were not just a creation of the brilliant supervillain, Gru,
but instead had a much darker origin story. The theory suggests that Gru was a simple
scientist, a kind single father who adored his three daughters more than anything else in the
world. Tragically, his daughters were killed in a senseless act of violence, and Gru's
mind snapped. He threw himself into his work, determined to bring his daughters back to life.
Using his scientific knowledge, Gru managed to unlock the secrets of human cloning and
successfully cloned his beloved daughters. However, the clones began to degrade and
transform into hideous, yellow creatures with bulging eyes and tight, yellow skin.
Unable to accept that these monstrous creatures were his daughters,
Gru convinced himself that they were his loyal Minions, created to serve him in his quest for
world domination. In his delusions, Gru saw himself as the greatest supervillain of all
time and revelled in the control he had over these strange, obedient creatures.
As the theory goes, this is why Gru's world is so exaggerated and cartoonish.
It's also why the Minions never seem to age and why they share similar height
ratios to Gru's three daughters. And perhaps most disturbingly,
it's why the Despicable Me franchise has such a heavy, unsettling feeling of dread and sorrow.
While this theory may seem like a dark and twisted take on the beloved franchise,
it's hard to deny that it is a bit far fetched. So, we have to mark this theory as BS.

Moving on from the BS, these theories still have a lot of problems… Not enough
to say they’re completely debunked, but still... These Theories are Full of Holes.
Is Gru The Evilest Guy Ever?
Well, let's talk about a theory that's been going around about the villainous character, Gru, from
the Despicable Me franchise. According to this theory, at the end of the first Minions movie, Gru
joins forces with the cute little yellow creatures, who we know always follow the
evilest villains around. So, this would mean that Gru is even eviler than some pretty notorious
figures, like Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein. The theory, presented by reddit user Ashyy-Knees,
is based on the idea that the Minions movie is set in 1968, during the height of the Cold
War. At that time, the USSR was a pretty big threat to the world, but apparently,
Gru is even more villainous than them! And since Gru had control of the Minions
during the time of Pol Pot's genocide in the mid-70s, it's safe to say that
he's even eviler than that guy too. Of course, we can't definitively say if
Gru is eviler than some of history's most infamous dictators, like Hitler, Stalin,
or Mao. But, since he keeps the Minions under his control for the next 38 years, it's probably safe
to say that he's done some pretty bad stuff. In fact, this theory suggests that Gru's kill
count might be higher than 4 million! So, is Gru really that naughty? Well,
it's just a theory and an interesting one at that. It definitely adds a new layer
of complexity to the character and makes you wonder what he's been up to all these years.
However, the fact of the matter is that it's hard to imagine the creators thinking that Gru is more
despicable (pun intended) than the evilest men in the history of the world. The fact of the matter
is that this theory is far more fun than it is facts, and we have to mark it as Full of Holes.
https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/izo0cc/despicable_me_theory/ Are the Minions Mutants?
Have you ever watched the movie Minions and wondered if these little yellow creatures are
mutants? A theory has been circulating that suggests just that! The idea, given by Reddit
user caaarltabernilluh, proposes that the minions possess unusual abilities and traits
that set them apart from typical living beings. Firstly, let's talk about their vulnerability
and strength. In one scene, the minions are subjected to various forms of torture,
including a chair of spikes and a wheel of torture, yet they remain unscathed. Even
more impressive, Kevin, one of the minions, becomes gigantic and swallows a large rocket
without any harm befalling him. Could this indicate superhuman strength and resilience?
Another clue lies in their appearance. The minions' yellow skin is certainly
unusual and raises questions about their origin. Could they be aliens,
or perhaps even mutants? It's worth noting that in X-Men, some mutants have distinctive physical
features that differentiate them from others. Could this be the case for the minions as well?
Finally, the fact that the minions have served many bad guys throughout history
and seemingly never die suggests that they are a long-lived species. It's unclear if they are
truly immortal, but the theory proposes that they are over 1,000,000 years old!
All of these observations suggest that the minions may indeed be mutants. Of course,
this theory is purely speculative, but it's certainly an interesting one to ponder. However,
there is nowhere near enough evidence to back it up. So, it’s full of holes.

With that said, we’re now into the middle category. Where we maybe stumble onto some
truth… Maybe. These Theories are Possible. Did The Minions Serve Tudor?
Let's talk about a theory given by Reddit user LapisLazuliisthebest that suggests the Minions
may have served the Tudor monarchy before joining Blackbeard's crew.
There are some interesting connections between the Minions and Tudor's history. For one thing,
"minion" was a type of small cannon used during the Tudor era,
from 1485 to the late 17th century. The last time these cannons were used was in 1716,
the same year the Minions are believed to have joined Blackbeard's crew.
Additionally, the golden age of piracy began in the late 17th century,
when the use of minion cannons was starting to decline. This could suggest that the Minions
were seeking out a new line of work after their cannon expertise became less relevant.
Furthermore, the Minions' main goal is to serve the most despicable master,
and there were certainly some Tudor monarchs who would fit that bill. Henry VIII and Mary I,
aka Bloody Mary, were not exactly known for their kindness and compassion.
Finally, there are hints in the movies that the Minions have some sort of connection
to the British monarchy. For example, Bob was able to pull Excalibur from the stone,
and Kevin accepted a knighthood from the Queen. All of this evidence leads to an intriguing
theory that the Minions may have served the Tudor monarchy before embarking on their adventures with
Blackbeard. While we may never know for sure, it's certainly a possibility that adds an extra layer
of depth to the Minions' backstory. And so, there’s enough evidence to say it’s possible.

How Do You Kill a Minion? Minions have captured the hearts
of audiences worldwide with their lovable antics and adorable language. However,
some fans have been left wondering - how do you kill a Minion? Is there a secret to defeating
these little creatures, or are they invincible? One popular theory about Minions comes from the
YouTube channel Film Theory, which suggests that Minions are single-celled organisms that reproduce
asexually. According to this theory, the Minions' nucleus, located in their distinctive eye,
is the key to their existence. If the nucleus is destroyed, the rest of the Minion's body will
disintegrate, as it is responsible for controlling all of the creature's bodily functions.
The theory also proposes that the Minions' unique yellow colour is a result of their
cellular makeup, which includes carotenoids that give them their bright hue. While this
idea is certainly imaginative, it is important to remember that it is purely fictional. There
is no evidence from the films to support the notion that Minions are single-celled organisms,
and the theory is based entirely on fictional characters and their fictional anatomy.
Nonetheless, the theory is a testament to the creativity and imagination of its creators,
and it provides a fun and engaging discussion topic for fans of the franchise. The popularity
of the Minions has inspired a range of fan theories, artwork, and merchandise, and their
quirky language and lovable personalities continue to delight audiences of all ages.
In conclusion, while the theory that Minions are single-celled organisms
may not be supported by scientific evidence, it is certainly a creative and entertaining
idea that demonstrates the enduring appeal of these beloved characters. And the theory isn’t
a bad one either, so we mark it as possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYrQYzapqNU
These next conspiracies make a lot of sense. In fact, we think they’re more likely to be true than
not. These theories are Probable. Are The Minions Immortal?
The theory that the Minions are immortal beings is based on various pieces of evidence from the
Despicable Me franchise. The Minions have been depicted as surviving extreme situations without
suffering any harm, and they seem to have an endless supply of energy and resilience.
One piece of evidence that supports this theory is that the Minions have been around for centuries.
They first appeared in the movie Despicable Me, set in the 1960s, but they are also shown
in the prequel Minions, which takes place in the prehistoric era, and in Despicable Me 3,
set in the present day. This longevity suggests that the Minions are not subject to the normal
ageing process and can survive indefinitely. Moreover, the Minions have demonstrated
a remarkable ability to survive dangerous situations. They have been shown to survive
explosions, falls from great heights, and other mishaps that would kill a human being. They seem
to have an innate sense of self-preservation, and they always manage to come out unscathed.
Another supporting factor is that the Minions reproduce asexually, which means they don't have
to rely on mating to continue their population. In the movie "Minions: The Rise of Gru," it is shown
that the Minions are created in a laboratory, which further suggests their immortality.
It's also worth noting that the Minions are depicted as being somewhat simplistic and
childlike, with a limited understanding of the world around them. This may be
a deliberate choice on the part of the creators to emphasize their immortality,
as they seem to exist outside of the normal human experience of growth and development.
Overall, while the theory that the Minions are immortal beings is not confirmed or explicitly
stated within the Despicable Me franchise, there is enough evidence to suggest that they do possess
qualities that make them effectively immortal. So, this theory is probable.

Finally, we’ve reached the truth. Confirmed truth. People have blown the whistle on these
theories with such compelling evidence that they must be true. These theories are the Truthbombs.
Why Are There No Female Minions? There's been a long-standing debate
about the gender of the adorable little Minions from the "Despicable Me" franchise. Some people
thought they were gender-neutral because they wore both male and female clothes, while others
believed they were male since they all had male names. The theory is that all minions are male,
and that there are no female minions. Well, it turns out that the creator
of the Minions, Pierre Coffin, has officially confirmed that they are
all male. When asked why he made that decision, Coffin explained that he just couldn't imagine
them as anything else. Fair enough, I guess. However, some people are unhappy about this
revelation, arguing that it perpetuates gender inequality and sends a negative
message to children. One concerned parent wrote on their blog that movies
like "Minions" are teaching a new generation to accept a world where girls are excluded.
One burning question remains, though: if all Minions are male, how do they reproduce? A few
fan theories are floating around, such as the idea that they are turned into Minions
by a machine or cloned from mutated DNA. It's unclear exactly how they came to be,
but we may find out more in future movies. Regardless of their gender or reproductive
capabilities, one thing is certain: the Minions are here to stay. Whether
you love them or find them annoying, they've become an integral part of popular culture,
and we can expect to see a lot more of them in the future. This theory is undoubtedly a truthbomb.
