Minions are taking over the internet and your life, and people are not amused

How did we get here?

MINIONS ARE TAKING over the internet.

It’s true. So many people out there are confused by where they came from, why they are here and how they came to be everywhere on the internet.

Well, it all starts with the fact that the movie comes out this week

The spin-off to the Despicable Me is in Irish cinemas this weekend – and stars Sandra Bullock and John Hamm as these ridiculously cute little characters:

The movie might be out in Ireland this week – but it’s not out in the US until July 10. So, those cute little Minions will be around the internet for some time to come.
