Can any marxist materially explain minions popularity as boomer meme fodder? Was the marketing some kind of cia op?
their ads absolutely flooded the culture briefly. their symbolic emptiness and informed comedic, playfully expressive quality made them ideal for circulating as attention getters in the Facebook meme economy. Also for people who grew up in the 60s it probably reminds them of this guy -> 🙂
Idk my boomer dad doesn't laugh at much but he loses his shit over the minions.
Inside every mom is a sublimated desire to shove a banana up a Minion's ass while it goes "babadabadababda OOOOOOOOOOOOH"
Isn't the point of minions in the movies that they were a failed creation to only be (barely) capable of following orders from an evil authority figure? No wonder boomers have taken such a liking to them
the point is they're funny yellow guys that hate all the same races as me
They're really popular in Eastern Europe/ Slavic countries and get counterfeited a lot over there
My yugo ex was crazy for them and hated how it was a conservative boomer thing in the west.
Why is the troop a minion though hahaha
Because boomers love their wacky tic-tacs.
