Minion Humor Group is chock-full of word puzzles, “math” problems, and “tag a friend who also used to skip rocks and catch fireflies and were totally fine when the rope swing broke on that fateful Tuesday”-type posts. Minion Humor Group contains multitudes: conservative-lite Boomer pandering on one hand, blatant engagement farming on the other. Just saying! Might be worth doing an audit re: Grogu! Totally up to you!Įgregious misuse of The Walt Disney Company IP: 8/10 Minion Humor Group But Minion Group - and I say this with all the respect in the world - Grogu posts are 40% of your feed. Between us gals, what’s with all the Grogu memes? To some extent I get it - someone photoshopped a curler wig and coffee cup on Baby Yoda. Great deals on a variety of products: 10/10 Minion Group Image via Facebook It is sad but comfortable here, like a finished basement. The few actual Minion memes here are unobjectionable - the overall vibe is resigned, but not angry. A few passionate souls rage against the dying of the light, studiously commenting “Not about minions” on each post. A perusal of recent posts show a wall dominated by Amazon ads offering dishwashers and dishwasher accessories to Minion devotees. “Like if you love minions” is one of Facebook’s more populous Minion meme fan pages, and, as such, faces the challenges of any 300,000-plus online community. Let’s gaze into the abyss, shall we? Here are the seven best Facebook Minion meme pages. As this is a course on the classics, postmodernism has no place here. No ironic pages - Beyond the scope of our observation.
Facebook pages only - Pure milk from the Zuck teat, baby!.No private groups - We will concern ourselves only with content that is allowed to move freely through the Minion meme ecosystem.So, in celebration, let us embark on a whistle-stop tour of Facebook’s many operational Minion meme pages, and salute all the brave soldiers still fighting (posting) the good fight (the choice to not post). The clash of context of everyone’s favorite banana perverts delivering nuggets of Home Goods wisdom is a delectable combo for the middle-aged and the irony-poisoned alike. The only thing we know conclusively is that Minion memes are a recipe for virality. An argument can be made that the memes grew as fast as they did in their heyday because Minions themselves are basically emojis with arms. Second, good normie memes require a certain visual shorthand - pictures that are Keaton-esque in mood simply play better. In the tumult of the late 2010s, Facebook normie meme groups saw an explosion of Minion memes - a typically softball shareable wherein a Minion (short, yellow, overall-wearing pill-shaped animated characters from the 2010 film Despicable Me) is presented alongside an inoffensive bon mot. So ubiquitous are our goggled friends, and so synonymous are they with a certain brand of online behavior, that it’s easy to forget the shallow roots from which they grew. Within that medium, the modern Minion enjoys a rarefied level of shitposting dominance. Indeed, most tech giants make it quite plain that, were it up to them, their platforms would be the only message - if the public is to consume, it must do so at the pleasure of The Medium. The platforms upon which pieces of content are presented to the public are increasingly inextricable from the creation, interpretation and synthesis of said content.
In the Web3 internet age, Marshall McLuhan’s supposition that “the medium is the message” proves itself to be exponentially true.
