It cracks me up how much Boomers love the minions. More than one grown adult at work has had minion themed stuff in their email profile/signature. Like we're a public health organization and these people have to send serious emails to people outside our work lol. I've also seen more than one inflatable holiday minion in the rich old people neighborhood I like to take my walks in - there are no signs of children at these homes, just old people who love those little yellow dudes.

The first one was sweet but subsequent ones seem to be lacking the heart of the original, like most DreamWorks sequels (NOT Shrek 2 though, but the rest).

I can't stand the inflatable Christmas decorations! I don't understand how anyone thinks they look good, especially when it's a minion themed one.

except for the polar-bear giving a horsey-ride to a pair of penguins I drive by everyday. I call him Barry.

It depends on the inflatable for me - I'll admit I love inflatable snow globes, or snowmen, or pumpkins. I can also appreciate a home that fully leans into the tackiness of a yard full of inflatables, since Christmas and Halloween are both pretty cheesy. Unrelated characters I'm more meh about (100% cool with seasonal Snoopies, etc. though).

The trend I hate is around me everyone started getting these really lifelike mannequins to decorate for Halloween and they scare the beejezus out of me on solo evening walks 😱

I don't mind the snowglobes but that's my one exception.

Life like mannequins sound extreme! I don't like when people try to make it look like there are actual dead bodies around for Halloween decorations. Like, make a place look spooky without a corpse.

Mom and I like to call them the drunk Christmas decorations because half of them face planted on the ground or half way from falling back ways.

My favorite time was after a wind storm, I saw a giant inflatable Nutcracker on a neighbor's roof. It was a sight.

I just saw a truck yesterday covered in a roughly 50/50 array of MURICA bro and Minions. it was a lot.

Minions touch the hearts of the strangest demographics lol, I never see kids (the intended market) half so excited about them.

My ex is a millenial who fucking loves them/ these movies. We worked at a theater when the first one came out and he was a manager and decided to dress up as one. Made his own costume and everything. The way the children screamed.... this 6'4" man with a face painted yellow (and the other manager didn't get him face safe paint) and a bunch of pillows stuffed into overalls to attempt to make him look rounder... Kids seemed to like him the second time around, though.
