Honestly the first movie was legitimately good. Not Pixar good or anything, but it was a decent heartwarming kids film. But then Illumination saw how much money they could make and ripped the heart of the Despicable Me series, leaving only minions, minions, and more minions.

“Don’t give up on your dreams… give up on your husband instead” *Excuse me what*

I hate what happened to this franchise. A series that started off a genuine breath of fresh air with a very hilarious and heartwarming movie (and even some legitimately great action sequences), quickly went downhill once they realized that their target audience literally only cared about Minions doing funny things.

"Seriously, this movie does go against the grain" Me: *cries for how often people forget about Megamind*

Those “top ten” minion memes (which I actually saw on his tiktok earlier) honestly seem like they were first ten minion memes that came up when Seamus googled them

"Has there ever been a good spin-off movie about the comic relief characters?" *Penguins of Madagascar laughing in the distance...*

Something worth mentioning is another reason Victor is a good villain is because from a kids point of view endless bickering, and one-upping is similar to siblings which makes it relatable for kids but also able to make the parents who have to deal with this all of the time, laugh

Fun fact the original version of the minion characters were completely different, there was only going to be like 5 and they would all have their own unique personalities and designs.

Seamus forced himself to sit through the pain of 4 Despicable Me movies just for our entertainment. We are sorry Seamus.

“What’s the point of the middle one?” Well, that is what most people say about middle children to be honest

I agree with basically everything, but I did like the side story in Despicable Me 3 where Lucy tries to be a mom and stuff. Yeah, it could've been done better, but I like the sentiment

"also I love capitalism" - definitely the real Nerdsync, 2021

0:10 BLASPHEMY! August 31st was just the 3 year anniversary of when I started constructing a 2 hour long Despicable Me Lore Analysis in the form of a series, which, currently is about halfway done. #RiseOfGruWhereAreYou

Okay this is very random but does anyone else prefer this “new” Seamus to the “old” one. Your content feels so much more natural and a lot less forced. I also feel like you’ve matured a lot! You’re a lot less judge mental and “gatekeepy”. Love your content, keep up the great work!

"Has there ever been a good sequel based off a comedy relief character" DOES LION KING 1 1/2 MEAN NOTHING TO YOU

My mom is legit a Facebook parent. She watches those poorly acted skits and I can’t tell if she thinks they’re real or not…..

I’d consider the Lego Batman movie a good movie based around a comic relief side character.

Guys, I think Seamus hates the Minions. Also side note, Minions is my dad’s favorite movie😂 Another side note, would love to see Seamus review the Hotel Transylvania movies!

OMG I can't believe you were able to get all those collaborations!?

"Is there any good spin off based on a comic relief character" im sorry? Weren't YOU the one who reviewed Kronks new groove?

Seamus: fake laughing Me: (with broken sense of humour) laughing at the meme and then laughing at Seamus fake laughing at the meme and cue meme number 5!

My friend made the music for the despicable me series. He also did the Lorax, Hop, pets 1 (not 2) and a few more. And he just finished Schmigadoon and is working on a new project now. He even made a book! Edit: he did NOT work on the minions spin off.

The only good spin off of a comic relief character in my opinion is the all hail king Julian series. It complements Madagascar and builds so much on it as well all being actually funny. Most the time. Would highly recommend people watch this.

Honestly it's sad the the minions took over the series because Gru and Lucy are actual great character

honestly if they took out the minions and focused on Gru's character arch the dispicable me films might be really good

You can see the pain in Seamus' eyes after mentioning "the rise of gru"

When I tell you my best friend was OBSESSED with minions in elementary school! Like I don’t even know why and I didn’t back then but she was absolutely crazy. She owned so many minions shirts, and she used to wear this outfit like every day that was just a yellow minions top with a blue skirt because it “made her look like a girl minion”, she dressed up like a minion for Halloween, owned every stuffed animal, liked Universal Studios more than Disneyland because there was a minions ride, she was crazy! I can confirm that we are now juniors in high school and she is no longer obsessed with minions but you can still see remnants of her minion obsession scattered around her house. I literally saw the midnight (more like 9:00 but it’s a kids movie) premiere of the minions movie with her, like I had to stand in a long ass line to see the minions movie at my bedtime! She used to send me rants about people who hated the minions. There was that one girl on KZfaq who made a video about how the minions are ruining her life and my best friend cried about it. I didn’t know it then but I was living in the worst timeline.

Ok but Seamus is wearing literally the best shirt I've ever seen in my life

"Has there ever been a spin off or sequel revolving around a comic relief character?" Penguins of Madagascar. It's what Minions wishes it was. Watch it.

About the Guacamole hat being impossible. Seamus you better start watching Binging with Babish, he made it and succeeded.

Day 17 of asking Seamus to react to Twisted: the Untold Story of a Royal Vizier and/or the A Very Potter Trilogy by Starkid

"has there ever been a good spinoff or sequel revolving around the comic relief character" Does the Lego Batman movie count?

I met you at Tesco’s today, even tho I don’t have a phone and I wasn’t with anybody it really made me smile! I ran the whole way home and I couldn’t wait to tell my parents thank you for making me smile!

The first two Despicable Me movies were pretty okay. The third one though….. we don’t talk about the third one.

Ok let's be honest: what *hasn't* been ruined by facebook??

Fun fact: Gru is canonically over 60

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was a GREAT spinoff of Hamlet revolvimg around the comic relief. Tom Stoppard riffing on Shakespeare. Can't beat that.

The thing at the end of movies that says "any resemblance to people living or dead is purely coincidental" is even at the end of biographical movies. It is put at the end of basically any movie because of a lawsuit against MGM's 1932 "Rasputin and the Empress".

When he said super easy was anyone else expecting a barely an inconvenience? (For anyone who watches screen rant). Also if Seamus is reading this: I really found the part where you make fun of your friends, who are also KZfaqrs, hilarious as I watch all of them

Seamus: Has their ever a good spin off based on a comic relief character? Me: Penguins?

The Minion Meme about your kids not needing vaccines aged really poorly

Your top 10 minions memes TikTok ruined my day

So, in Poland Despicable Me isn't called that (I guess if it was translated it would kinda suck?), instead it's called How to Steal the Moon. This makes sense because they didn't really expect the sequels. However because of that when the sequels came, they had to be called something else so they went all in with the Minions. 2nd movie is called "Minions Make Trouble" (in the literal translation) and the 3rd one is literally called "Gru, Dru and the Minions". The Minions were so famous that they literally shoe-horned them in both titles. Luckily, they didn't have to do anything for the Minions Movie because Ilumination did it for them

I really hate how this franchise went from a genuinely sweet plot and quirky characters to - *"MINION: THE MERCHANDISE."* because it makes me angry that I skipped out on Megamind - it's the same plot, but less marketable. Also, Despicable Me 1 already gave us a cooler backstory for the Minions: they were genetically modified popcorn kernels. So imagine my shock when the spinoff *doesn't* go with that and have a plot where Gru tries out 400 different microwaved things before settling on kernels while the girls try to help him.

Honestly, Seamus's argument about the second movie being a lot better "outside of the minion parts" made me a little upset. Like, yeah, I really like Seamus's content, but saying the second movie was as good or better, is just an insult to me. Because I really loved the angle the first movie went to where Gru is the girls' dad by the end. Like, that is so great for single fathers, which deserve more appreciation! But then the second movie is all "Oh no! Agnes can't function properly without a motherly figure and Gru is holding them back if he doesn't get a partner!" Like, what? Why are single fathers not allowed to be a thing, especially because the first movie directly shows that Gru is a good father once he starts caring about the girls, and he doesn't need a partner to help take care of them.

I went to a 2 hour long girl scout spa day in 2013. They played Happy for that full 2 hours. No other songs. No breaks. Just Happy I think they were trying to brainwash us, tbh

Despicable Me: Fine film, funny and touching at some times. 🙂 I've watched various times and I've enjoyed all of them, tbh. Not the best I've seen, though. Despicable Me 2: Eh, didn't live up to the original, but well, it's still watchable and standable. Minions: un-funny, irritating characters (not just the bloody Minions), lots of badly integrated stereotypes (I don't mind nation stereotypes if it adds something to the plot and it's not there just to shame or make fun of the people of that country for free, as in this case) and a stupid plot. I want those 90 minutes of my life back. 🥺 Despicable Me 3: watched the trailer and made the wise decidion not to watch it. Just from the trailer, it looked plainly stupid and cliché. Despicable Me 4 and Minions 2: STOP THE PLANET, I WANT TO GET OFF. Ps. Finally manage to break out of my shyness and post a comment... You make some great videos. Greetings from Spain. 🧡

6:42 - i took a screenshot of this and made it my wallpaper. „if it’s stupid and you own it’s stupid then it’s still stupid but not as stupid“ is my favorite quote ever. we love u seamus !!

Seamus: going into detailed analysis of how the animation of characters work with their personality and backstory! Me: Wow, you can waffle better than a GCSE drama student explaining why a character wearing red and black means they are evil

The first movie was really good, but then Illumination realized that Karens would watch it just for the minions and they didn’t have to try.

I thought the “Orlando coming soon” gag was amusing.

I remember seeing the trailer for the Minions movie and convinced it was just a short, I literally had an argument with someone telling trying to tell them a Minion movie wouldn’t work cuz you can’t understand them. And I wasn’t wrong with that last bit.

The little KZfaqr "parodies" made me laugh out loud! Nice!👍😂

First one was iconic

Vector. That is all.

Despicable me: Absolutely amazing film 100/10 DM2: Another great film. An awesome sequel. 10/10 DM3: Ew, no. The only saving grace is Trey Parker. 3/10 Minions:... No! -999999999999999999999999999/10

Day 4 of telling Seamus to react to Ever After High

i was around 8-10yo when despicable me 1 came out, and my dad took me to see it in the cinema. he ABSOLUTELY fell in love with the entire franchise and he gets so much joy out of dumb minion jokes. it's so wholesome somehow. every time i want to make him happy i watch one of the minion or despicable me movies with him and seeing the joy on his face is so precious hahaha

I actually really enjoy the first two. The OG I found had a lot more heart but I found 2 to be more laugh-out-loud funny, and I thought what they did with the minions was actually pretty interesting-and just in general I liked how they challenged Gru’s new status quo. Minions and 3 were both underwhelming though. If I were writing Despicable Me 4, I’d do a small time skip and then make the story about Gru, Lucy and the Girls all embracing villainy together after they realize that’s where Gru belongs. Gru bring a hero just doesn’t sit right with me. Actually, I am excited for minions 2 (weirdly) purely because it can explore what made Gru an interesting protagonist and by extension Despicable Me an interesting series in the first place.

Café da manhã, yep in Brazil breakfast is literally named coffee and Breakfast is the most important meal of the day 😅

Love how your content is a sequence of crescendos on fast-forward. Its like two or three Elgar Marches a minute or Ravel's Bolero. Classic foundations... muah! [italian 3-fingered kiss]

I remember back in 2013-2014, 3 songs plagued the world, Happy, Let It Go, and Everything is Awesome. None of these songs are bad but they were good extremely annoying.

At last, it finally finished processing

This…. was not a video that I expected you to make

Thumbnail Seamus looks like a tortured and confused soul who is being forced into acting like Jennete McCurdy

at 15:43 we almost got a pitch meeting “super easy, barely an inconvenience” 😔

I think Finding Dory and Puss N' Boots are pretty good movies based on comic relief characters in other movies!

Honestly I love the characters designs in Illumination films like you don't usualky see more catoony designs in animation especially in 2010. I I like that some characters have more sharp angles like grus nose like I am used to seeing soo many round character in 3D animation.

If only Illumination kept their focus of this franchise on Gru. He's a freaking badass He's a great dad He's a great boss He had character development.

Why was Seamus' purposefully bad laughter contagious?

I don't mind the minions. I remember how EVERYONE liked them after first movie came out, everyone posted minion memes. Now it's popular to hate minions because they made one awful spin off movie about them... Why? I just ignore the cash grab and enjoy the movies like I used to, I certainly won't bully or shame someone for liking minions. What is it with hating everything popular? Like people used to, and still do, hate friends and everyone who likes friends. It's iconic show, most people have liked it one point or another. It doesn't make them stupid.

The minion movie was actually pretty clever when you look at it from the 1960s standpoint. There were a lot of cool 60s references

i actually like the second movie. probably because of nostalgia because i was 8? 9? when it came out and was obssessed with it. but it's a cute movie (the first one is the superior one). i actually went to watch the third one in the movies with my dad on my 13th birthday and that was the first time i thought "maybe i'm too old for animation". i guess i wasn't too old for animation (i don't think there is such a thing), the movie was just bad

I feel dumb saying this, but these are like some of the most nostalgic movies for me (well, the first two are). I watched them so much when I was a kid and was pretty much obsessed with them (I can confirm that when you’re a kid the minions seem funnier), and I legitimately think those first two still hold up. Like, I rewatched them a few months ago and found myself genuinely invested and laughing! But I think it was when I saw Despicable Me 3 that it really hit me- the first two are the only good ones, and they’re milking this franchise into oblivion. It’s almost tragic, because they could’ve kept better standards of quality and this might not have happened.

Seamus' videos are always hilarious 😂

17:50 I actually almost choked 😂 this... is genius and it perfectly portrays the hypocrisy these statements are. I can't decide what I love more: your film commentary, or your social commentary

Now you have to watch Megamind.

things that that annoyed me about despicable me 2 is that they added a very pointless character named Antonio, he was never scene again at the end of the movie, so I don't get why he was added in the movie if he wasn't going to do anything important to the story. Removing him from the movie won't make a differences, I would have written him way better.

Thank you Seamus, you really didn't have to do this, you didn't have to suffer like this, but you did it, thank you

i remember going around my school singing misheard versions of happy because im not a native english speaker and i was a little kid. i think my misheard version went "because im happy clobolone eefoo fill like happy itout a roofa" im laughing, crying, and cringing at the same time. im sorry for giving you my misheard lyrics.

Seamus now you have to review the superior movie with a villain who becomes good that is Megamind, it came out at the same time as despicable me and it kind failed but it's way better

Seamus as Sophie was just too funny.

I clicked on this video without reading the title and I was thoroughly entertained

“What’s the point of the middle one” is a little too on the nose about middle siblings

I enjoyed the Spy vs. Spy reference in the credits for Despicable Me 3, and the way they managed to make the television scenes of robot Brad destroying the city look like an actuactual guy in a suit, like in actual old television shows, as well as the "unicorn" capturing, so I all in all enjoyed it. Still not the greatest movie ever, but still good enough.

I have never agreed more with a title in my life.

Actually funny sequel revolving around comic relief: Penguins of Madagascar

Seamus really channeling his inner Bentellect in the meme section

I’m my opinion, best Universal series along with Pitch Perfect

13:50 I think those are the same three minions they used in the Minions film, complete with one of them having heterochromia. (I think. It's a little hard to see at mobile size, but I think it was consistent last time someone put it on.) They may have been past joking at that point.

I genuinely like the first despicable me movie. Also, I find it so funny how different the acceptance of the minions is around the world. I lived in Japan for a long time and everyone loves minions over there. I think that's why I still see the fun in them too.

I think the first 2 despicable me voices are probably in my opinion 2 of the best films I’ve seen. In my opinion.

"you might be wondering, 'how Seamus? There are only two available on UK Netflix'" Me: Joke's on you. My parents bought be every single movie, so now I have each one on a physical DVD copy. Yeah... I've suffered through DM3 one too many times just cause me and my dad wanted to have a large binging session for the franchise. (Which is actually fun to do for any franchise. Great way to see how they improved upon/ruined certain things.)

My brother got so scared of the purple minions ( he watched it in 3d at the theater) now we still can't watched despicable me 2. He is a teenager.

Asking Seamus to all watch The Swan Princess movies: Day 13

I… forgot Despicable Me 3 existed because I never saw it and no one ever talks about it

Attempt 3 at getting Seamus to watch Small Soldiers Since it's like Toy Story, kinda

you forgot that the scene where the minions do the dance with the toilet paper was just amazing

I genuinely quite enjoyed the first despicable me film. There's such a sense of whimsical child like wonder to it that's very appealing when the weight of reality gets to you. Almost a liberating film to watch in that sense. They definitely lose that as the film's go on. That's my 2 cents anyway

Guys we finally broke Seamus, he’s reviewing Despicable Me…..
