Ahem, ahem.
You're listening to the Sandspans Network.
Hey everyone and welcome to this week's episode of Plumbing the Death Star.
I'm Joel.
I'm Jackson.
And I'm also Joel.
And this is the podcast where we ask the important questions like,
what would have happened if Bob didn't advocate the throne?
Advocate.
Abdicate?
Abdicate.
Abdicate.
I said ad- no, I was-
You said advocate.
He advocates for the throne.
Loves the royals.
Does become king, so fair enough.
And obviously, like, who the fuck is Bob?
We mean Bob Dominion.
Who's asking that?
Everyone knows.
Bob.
Which Bob do we mean?
Bob.
Bob. If you don't know somehow, you've been living under a fucking rock.
Yeah.
Okay, in the movie The Minions.
You have to be a fucking big rock, because I reckon you still get it in small rocks.
If you're living under a smaller rock, you still have seen Dominions 1.
But in Dominions 1, Scarlet Overkill, Dominions boss, she wants to steal the crown from the queen.
So she sends Stuart, Kevin, and Bob on a little heist.
They get some gadgets to do this with, but Dominions are fucking rascals.
So they fuck it up.
They're rascals and fucking idiots.
Fuckwits, I would say. They So they fuck it up. They're rascals and fucking idiots. Fuckwits,
I would say.
They're absolute fuckwits.
They goof it up
like you would not believe.
You've got no idea
how dumb these cunts are.
Yeah.
That's what I would say
if I was selling
the minions to you.
You've got no idea
how dumb these cunts are.
Do you want them?
For free.
Anyway,
so,
they fuck up this heist.
And in doing so,
Bob, he pulls Excalibur out of the story.
And the good people of Britain have no choice but to kick the queen out and bring Bob in as King Bob.
Yeah.
Now, he abdicates when Scarlet Overkill is like, I want to be queen.
And Bob's like, you are my boss.
Okay.
Yeah. But what if he didn be queen, and Bob's like, you are my boss, okay. Yeah.
But what if he didn't?
What if he's like...
Well, how long is he the king for in the movie?
You are the one leading this episode
as you are the minions expert?
He is not king for very long.
I would say week maximum.
Do you get to see him do anything?
He redecorates the palace.
That's good.
He gets some bananas.
Yep.
Very good. But he also just
seems to be sort of enjoying being
in charge and all these people waiting on him.
That seems like what he likes the most.
It's crazy that Minion kind of like
Ape. Yeah.
Both love banana. Yeah, that is true.
And if Apes could speak, they would say
banana.
We've got some good evidence when Apes can't
speak, they say, ooh, banana.
That's true.
They're very similar.
Minions are Italian, so...
Minions speak all languages.
They speak Enochian, the language of angels.
How could you forget?
That's, of course, that's right.
Their dialect is a combination of multiple dialects.
Yeah, like from the Tower of Babel.
Yeah.
They speak that language, I guess, before the tower fell, you know?
Well, before God destroyed the tower as punishment.
Yeah.
For trying to reach heaven.
Yes.
Yeah.
And then he made it so we could incorporate and then we could no longer speak the beautiful
language of the minions.
Yeah.
I would even go so far as to say that probably the Tower of Babel was built by the minions.
Oh, yeah.
That would have been there. You know, they would even go so far as to say that probably the Tower of Babel was built by the minions. Oh, yeah. They would have been there.
You know, they would have been around.
Were they...
Because they're a single cell organism that grew, right?
They were.
They've evolved over time.
Yeah.
Why?
Were they the snake in the garden?
Eve.
Maybe Eve.
Apple.
Oh, okay.
See, there I think they might have been asking
For them to eat the apple
And they couldn't reach it
And they're like
And then like
Oh, do this
And she eats it
Then God kicks him out of the Garden of Eden
But the minions can stick around
Because they didn't commit
There's no original sin in a minion
Maybe that's why minions
Can be lovable
yet work for real big
pieces of shit. Yeah. And also
why they can lift the Excalibur
because I guess they are pure of heart.
I don't think Excalibur has Mjolnir
rules. Well, I think the deal
with Excalibur is that you have to be
like destined to be the true
king of England. Oh yeah, because the king of
England, isn't it like all the royals have been
anointed by God?
They're chosen by God
to rule. There's actually way bigger implications
about Bob pulling Excalibur
from the stone than him being king.
Because he is like
rightful king of England in a way
no royal has ever been.
And is it a thing where it's like,
yes, the royals genuinely believe that I am the king or queen because I have been chosen by God?
Possibly.
At a certain point in time, that was their belief.
Yeah, it wouldn't shock me.
And then, yeah, well, if I can lift up the Excalibur, that makes sense.
That's why I guess the people of Britain had to be like, I guess a minion is the king now.
Yeah.
Now, the king in the modern day a minion is the king now. Yeah. Now, the king, in the modern day,
doesn't wield so much power.
Yeah, I was also gonna ask, what are the
responsibilities of the king? What's Charles up to?
Because the king is kind of just more of a figurehead.
Yeah, he mostly just seems miserable
that he's king now. Yeah.
He was always a miserable bastard.
Yeah, and he seems to be getting sicker?
Is that part of the role?
He's just getting older, man.
But the queen didn't look this sick even right before she died.
Yeah, that is true.
Philip went into more like skeleton mode.
Yeah.
I don't know what Charlie's doing.
He's swelling.
He's puffing up.
He might pop like a boil soon.
We're going to see our first popped royal.
Things are. like a boil suit. We're going to see our first popped royal. I think so.
I like that this minion, that Bob has completely stopped the royal
line. We don't have to worry about
King Charles or Philip or whatever.
Any of them anymore. It's all Bob.
Bob can't die.
Age?
Yeah, I don't think so.
They don't die.
Is Kevin... That's right.
Kevin, Bob, and...
Stuart.
Stuart.
Are they...
Have they always been the minions?
Yeah, for a long time.
Not...
I mean, they began as single-celled organisms.
Were they the single-celled organisms there?
It's hard to tell, because they just kind of look like a minion sperm.
Did they talk?
They might have made noises like...
Yeah.
Maybe.
So they could have been Kevin, Stuart, and Bob since the beginning.
Does that mean that, like, Kevin, Stuart, and Bob, those are really old names?
Yeah, I suppose so.
Pre-biblical Doric names.
Yes, I think that's what that means.
Maybe had cavemen called, like, Oog, Wheel, and Kevin.
Yeah, but also, if they were single-celled organisms called Kebben,
then that name is older than humanity.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
I guess at some point the minions decided to name themselves.
They would have named each other because they existed first.
Yeah.
Because they existed before names.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I worry about having a minion on the throne.
I don't that much.
You think you're just fine with it?
Well, I think it would be very easy if we had something that was a different species of us
to then stop being royalists and finally we can become the republic we want.
Finally we can get rid of the fucking royals.
Do you think that Australia votes to leave the Commonwealth if Bob is a minion? I think we do.
Bob doesn't understand.
When Lizzie was on, we were like, fair enough.
I'm still shocked
that now that Charlie's on the throne
that Australia hasn't been like,
hey, that referendum quiz?
They'll wait a bit because they don't want to seem like they're
spitting on what's-her-name's grave.
A name I forgot.
Elizabeth?
Yeah.
I'm genuinely shocked the moment Lizzie just keeled over.
We weren't like, right?
We're out.
Because if they go too early, they'll fuck it.
People will be like, this is disrespectful.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
I'm a fuckhead Australian.
Well, I guess we've got to get in there quick before Charlie pops.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, but then who do we get?
His son.
Old mate that's balding, likes to be pegged.
What's his name?
Not Harry, the other one, William.
William, yeah, yeah, King Willie.
I would like seeing Bob on Money.
That would be cool.
Nice.
Although, because it's like we have a minion as our ruler of Australia,
or ruler of the Commonwealth, would that then just, you know,
as much as maybe a joke the royals are now,
would it become more of a joke?
And then we're like, hell yeah, we got minion money.
Oh, yeah.
Well, and also, I mean, like, Bob is going to...
Imagine I got a $50...
Oh, there's no...
Charles isn't on the $50 one, though.
It's a B, though.
Well, the coins are gold.
Coins are gold.
Minions on gold coins is good.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, but because I was thinking yellow,
which is why I went for the $50 one.
Oh, right.
Yeah, yeah.
I keep thinking...
Fiver though.
Yeah, a minion on the fiver.
I mean, again, wrong color.
It's not yellow.
But maybe we would start printing yellow fibers.
Yeah.
Or it's like you have the lovely,
you know, that sort of like pink color of the fiver, but then the middle is yellow. Yeah, a little yellow bob. Yeah. Or it's like you have the lovely, you know, that sort of like pink color of the fiber,
but in the middle,
it's yellow.
Yeah, a little yellow bob.
Yeah.
That's good.
I'm voting stay.
I like that bob.
So like the royals now,
obviously we don't respect them.
Yeah.
But for some people,
they have a certain gravitas.
Apparently.
I don't understand.
But Bob's fallen over
showing his arms.
Yeah. You know, like that's innate in a minion. And Bob's fallen over showing his arms all the time yeah
you know like
that's innate in a minion
at Bob's coronation
when was the last time
the king or the queen
didn't look very frail though
yeah that's true
that's a good point
he does look strong Bob
like Elizabeth
in maybe like the 70s
yeah yeah yeah
so Bob in a way
yeah yeah
she looked a little frail
yeah
so you're saying Bob
would look like a firm king
For the first time
No I'm saying like
The gravitas
Recent times you reckon
Could say win
In bare knuckle fighting
Say me
I don't think
The last two
That we've had
Could
No I think
You could kill
Any royal that we've
Had in our lifetime
William might
Yeah if William
Became
A king right now,
I'd be like, oh, shit.
We have a king that wanted to be a tampon over the phone,
and then the next king's going to be the king of being pegged.
The pegging king.
The pegging king.
That's great.
I hope he incorporates it in some way into his reign.
Charles should incorporate that time he was like,
yeah, I wish I was your tampon.
Come along.
God, the royals are freaks.
Well, that makes Bob way more appealing, I think.
If something happens to William,
then we get Harry who has the same presence of a man who...
Didn't he abdicate?
Or did he just be like...
Yeah, that's true, he did.
He left.
Him and me get fucked off.
I'm no longer a working royal
I don't know how it all works
Also he won't get it anyway if Willie dies
These kids will
And they've also changed
The rulings
It'll go to the
Daughters as well
Because it used to be like
His first born is a son
It would have gone to the first born son
And if you only had daughters It would then go back to the next son, I think.
But now they've changed it.
Well, I mean, Harry can't be king anyway because he fucked off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so then, yeah, I think if Willie's kid, the firstborn, was a lady,
they would have been like, ah, the first destined queen,
and she would have got it over the first son.
If Charles dies, does Camilla get it?
No.
No.
I don't think Camilla.
Suck shit, Camilla.
Well, she's technically the queen consort.
Not anymore.
But apparently they were referring to her as the queen or some shit.
No, she's the queen now as of the queen consult happens until the.
Whatever.
Not a consult.
She's got consulting.
The queen consult is a different thing.
The queen con.
The queen cunt. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was that until the thing queen consult is a different thing. The queen con... The queen cunt, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was that until the thing happened, and now she's just the queen.
The coronation?
Yeah.
But I thought, huh, poor Philip.
Yeah.
He was never the king.
Or is it because you can be the queen because if Philip had been...
Yeah, because if it was a king, king...
Then king trumps queen.
Yeah, like in the thick of cards.
No one better be the ace of England.
So then I guess if they're like, well, Charlie is king,
and if Camilla is queen, who cares?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because we still got Charlie, and the moment he cocks it.
She's no longer queen.
She's out.
Out of the willy.
She's the king's stepmom.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, remember the queen's mom was kicking around for a bit? She was old as shit.
Yeah, dude.
Well, none of this is relevant anyway
because Bob's in the throne.
What happens to the royals when Bob takes the throne?
Will they lose their job?
This also happens in the 1960s, let's not forget.
Yeah, so he gets it instead of Elizabeth?
No, Elizabeth's on the throne.
She gets kicked off.
She goes to the pub.
Classic Lizzie.
Yeah.
I guess Diana's alive.
That's nice.
That's true.
So Diana never gets killed.
That's awesome.
The people's princess.
No, we don't get Willie or Harry.
Yeah.
Or something.
The Minions' princess.
It's funny to think that Bob still puts the head out on Diana.
He doesn't know what he's doing.
But maybe he does.
Yeah, when was Charlie born?
I don't know.
Because I'm guessing like the band.
Oh, yeah, because they would have been around.
Oh, yeah, Charlie is 60s.
He would have been kicking by the 60s.
But it doesn't matter because the royals as we know them are just civilians now.
Yeah, I know, but it's good to try and figure out what the fuck's going on in the royal family.
Yeah, that's fair.
When was Charlie born?
Charles was born in 1948.
When did, and then he met Diana when he was real old.
Yeah, yeah.
He was like 30 and she was maybe 16.
Yeah, something like that.
They got married in 81, so bob's king before that okay so
yeah okay so okay diana's in the clear yeah well diana's born in 61 so yeah she's she's fine she's
fine she's not living a royal life and then he's gonna marry charlie now that he's no longer a
royal camilla camilla they're gonna have weird fucked up babies, exactly. Are they related to Camilla? Who? Charles.
I have no idea.
Okay.
Because like,
Lizzie and Philip
were cousins?
Yeah, I think they were cousins.
Camilla and Charles
were romantically involved
periodically
both before
and during
each of their first marriages.
Oh my God.
Are they related?
Cheating on Diana
with Camilla.
Come on, Charles.
My question is,
are they related? Yeah, I'm trying to find that out. Like, it wouldn't shock me. No, I assume they're all related. Come on, Charles. My question is, are they related?
Yeah, I'm trying to find that out.
Because it wouldn't shock me.
No, I assume they're all related.
They're all cousins.
Yeah.
Gotta get that royal blood.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's nice not to have someone inbred on the throne, I guess.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, I don't know what the fuck Bob is,
but at least he's not got the legacy of the royals behind him.
I think Bob would make a very good king.
Yeah.
Is it good kind of figurehead?
Because nowadays you're like, what do the royals do?
They're worthless to us.
I googled it.
King's duty includes opening each new session of parliament.
Bob can do that.
Yeah.
Granting royal assent to legislation and approving orders and proclamations through the Privy Council.
I don't know what any of this means.
So I guess Bob, he's basically-
They're distant cousins.
Yeah, of course.
But Camilla's also related to Diana.
Whoa.
So they're all-
Yeah, it's all a big-
It's like when snakes have an orgy to bring in the summer.
Yeah.
It's like when snakes have an orgy to bring in the summer.
You know?
Yeah. You know?
Yeah.
It's great when your family tree is just you stumbling down and hitting branches.
Their ninth cousins once removed.
What the fuck does that mean?
I don't know, but.
Yeah, I couldn't even say, dude.
They trace their families back to Henry Cavendish, the second Duke of Newcastle.
When was that?
The 17th century?
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Disgusting, dude.
It's great that we're treating humans like the thoroughbred horses.
Yeah, yeah.
But we don't even let them get, like, the fucking...
What was that horrible king who looked like a fish?
The Duke of Habsburg or something god the one whose
testicles were also like shriveled little raisins i love that guy so much they fought that bullshit
right off this shit absolutely william and catherine are related too well yeah there you
go it's all it's a big bowl of fucking incest that's all the royal family is. Now it's a big bowl of minions.
Big bowl of Bob. Do you think that they would
try and marry Bob
off to somebody? I mean, they might try,
but then, like, I don't know if
a human can breed with a minion.
Are minions asexual? I think so.
I don't think they got genitals to speak of.
They got arses, though.
They got arses. They do have arses.
I think in the last Minions episode we said that
a minion gave birth after sucking a dick.
I don't know if that holds true in this episode, too.
There was a chicken.
It turned into a chicken-laden egg-laden minion?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, he turned into a chicken-laden chicken minion.
He became a regular minion again.
And then there was a chicken minion.
But that didn't go anywhere.
But I don't know if that's
because he was turned into a chicken.
I assume yes. Or if he could have
done that regularly.
They don't seem to lay eggs. No.
So I don't think that would happen naturally.
No. So we do know that if we
turned one into an egg laying species
somehow that
would make an embryo
that could then hatch from said egg.
Yeah, I guess that's kind of like if you turned me into a bear
and I got impregnated by a bear and gave birth to a bear.
I can't give birth to a bear now.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, but when the Minion gets turned into a chicken,
does he fuck a rooster?
No.
I think.
It's been a bit since I've seen the Minions 2.
I feel like he gets punched in the stomach and a chicken comes out.
Okay, so therefore, it's basically immaculate conception.
Yeah, that chicken is sort of the Christ of Minions.
That's a...
Well, yes, but, or, is that just something that Minions can do
and then they, given the very specific and weird circumstances, they can breed asexually?
Yes, I suppose so.
So like how some crocodiles can do it.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
And snakes maybe.
Yeah, there's a lot of reptiles I think that can do it.
Well, okay, so it's interesting with the minions because they have evolved and there are a lot of minions.
So I guess unless they can produce more minions somehow,
that's all the minions there are.
But if they can produce somehow, then maybe they are making new minions.
And then they don't die, though.
No.
So then they wouldn't need to.
Maybe they're just going to go, yeah, well, yeah.
And also, like, you know, they don't need to pass on their genes
because they're already the perfect organism.
Yeah, they have reached the ideal form.
So I guess it's just that if you get turned into a chicken as a minion,
you can immaculately conceive a chicken.
Yeah, because I guess then the minion already has a certain level of chromosomes in it ready to go.
And then when it joined with a chicken, they got the other half, and that's how you get
the chicken minion embryo.
Or a minion sort of divine.
Oh, they are divine. And this is kind of like
making love to an angel. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah. In chicken form.
Or like when Loki fucked a horse and then gave birth
to a horse. Yeah, but he didn't fuck
a rooster.
Unless he'd fucked a rooster earlier.
Off screen screen Interesting theory
We don't see it
And typically that rooster would fertilize
Nothing in the minion
But he got turned into a chicken
But it hatches pretty quickly right
I think he gets punched in the stomach
And shits out an egg
Because if it hatches very quickly
Once again this is going against nature.
I think this is divine.
That was a divine birth.
Okay, well.
Was that minion the minion crust?
Yeah, I think so.
Or is it just when, like,
because again, it turned into, like,
I don't know what gender a minion is.
Yeah, we use he, him,
but I don't know if that's,
I think that's just for convenience.
It's king of.
Yeah, he is King Bob.
And he calls himself King Bob.
Yes, he calls himself King Bob. I know because I've calls himself King Bob. Yes, he calls himself King Bob.
I know because I've got his speech shield.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good.
Can you read the speech out to us?
Well, I was going to get you to read the speech because you love talking Minya.
I'll do it in the Minya voice.
Stuart does chime in, but you don't need to read that bit.
One, two, one, two.
King Bob!
No, no.
Come on, Paralelossi.
Maradette. Not going to Paralelosi. Merida.
Not gonna pop me pop like, you know.
La palaca me empuquete.
Pero no.
La me be bap.
No la babata.
Papu tabushi.
So, it's to Merida.
La pata yes, King Bob.
Patuti.
Only a couple people clap at this moment.
He looks behind him.
King Bob!
Drops the microphone, leaves.
Okay, good to hear.
Where'd he go?
What do you think's happening in this world, in this moment?
I don't know.
When King Bob just says,
in this world in this moment when king bob just says what it's so funny as well because it's i mean i don't think that people would be happy about this
because people love the royals you know what i mean yeah but if they love the royals they're
gonna love this royal too yeah but they love the royals because they love the incest bubble or
whatever i think they just love the royals because they're for some reason they love the royals
well but that's what i mean. It's an institution.
And Bob is now part of the institution.
Yeah, but he had to kick out the old gods.
Well, he had to kick out just the queen, right?
Yeah. The old gods. Everyone else.
Like all the workers.
All those kind of things still work
for the royal family. But like, so Princess Diana,
she's the people's princess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
King Bob gets into power. Yeah. Princess Diana becomes
a civilian. Yeah. Surely people would be pissed at King Bob about that. Well, no, because we never knew about the people's princesses anyway. That's true, yeah, yeah. King Bob gets into power. Yeah. Princess Diana becomes a civilian. Yeah. Surely people would be pissed at King Bob
about that. Well, no, because we never knew about the people's
princesses anyway. That's true, that's true.
What about the people who loved Elizabeth? She's out.
Yeah. And Bob's in. So then you maybe,
maybe, you get maybe
a civil war. Okay, okay.
Alright.
And this is, you know, kind of, you're going back to
history, where you're like, well, that
king is the rightful king, or that king is the rightful king,
or that king is the rightful king, and then suddenly we're fighting.
I think the Scots would be very happy.
Yes.
Oh, they'd be laughing up a storm, dude.
They would be making so much fun of Britain.
Irish Twitter in the 60s.
King Bob, what I love about him is he's sort of innocent throughout all of this.
You know, it's not his choice to be king.
Although I do like that when he chooses not to abdicate the throne, it's like Scarlet Overkill's like, give it back.
And he's like, you know what?
No.
Yeah.
I can run this country.
Well, I was like, well, I don't want to be.
I want to be my own boss.
Yeah.
What is he going to have to deal with for the nation in the coming years?
Nothing.
They don't do anything.
Yeah, but like he's at least going to have to give with For the Nation in the coming years? Nothing. They don't do anything. Yeah, but he's at least going to have to give-
Unlike how depicted in the film, so in the Despicable Me universe, the position of the
reigning British monarch holds virtually no political power, but in this, they do.
So in the Minion universe, you're going to have a prime minister.
Well, presumably, yeah.
Okay.
So in the Minion universe, what are the responsibilities of the king?
Yeah.
Does he act as like a kind of the way a medieval king does, where he's basically in charge of Britain?
I guess so.
I've got to assume that's how it's operating.
So in the Minions universe, what happened?
Like, to the political structure of the UK?
Well, here's another fun thing about the Minions universe.
They do steal the crown again and Elizabeth never gets it back.
Good.
It was never hers to be in with.
They probably give it back to...
Where's that big jewel from?
Yeah, where'd you get that one from?
Will King Bob give that jewel back?
King Bob doesn't have it anymore.
Well, that's true.
So yeah, when did the royals start losing power?
Well, there was always the big fight between the, like,
frickin' whatever they were called, the parliamentaryists and the royalists.
That was the British Civil War.
Yeah.
And so I think it kind of went back and forth,
and it was probably around then, I suppose.
That was like the 1600s, maybe.
Yeah.
It's like the king's speech. Now, move it, have not seen. That was like the 1600s, maybe? Yeah. It's like the king's speech.
Now, move it, have not seen.
That was World War I.
Yeah.
Oh, it was at the Olympics, actually.
Oh, okay.
What was going on there?
What was he doing a speech about?
He was doing a speech about the Olympics.
Everyone be chill?
Yeah, he was trying to-
Was it a report on the speech?
It was for morale, I think.
So just morale?
Are you sure it's not World War I, JD? It starts at the Olympics and then turns It was for morale, I think. So just morale? Are you sure it's not World War I, JD?
It starts at the Olympics and then turns into World War I, I think.
But the speech he's going to give is about World War I, right?
Yes.
I'm pretty sure.
Uh, it's not the Olympics.
Okay.
It's not?
At the closing of the British Empire Exhibition.
Okay.
What?
The second song of King George addresses the crowd with a strong stammer.
Okay.
And then everyone's like.
Yo, but the speech, the king's speech in question in the movie, the king's speech.
Yeah, because he learns to fucking talk again and all like talk good.
I'm like anyone in this fucking show.
Unlike anyone in this fucking show.
He fucking basically makes a speech, but he gets real nervous.
And when he gets nervous, he stammers.
Yes.
But at that point, he's a prince.
Yeah.
And then he's like.
Then he gets elected king.
Then World War I happens.
Doesn't get elected king. His dad dies.
I think his brother also dies.
He doesn't want to do it.
Because one of them chuffs off because they're like
I want to marry a divorcee
And so he abdicated the throne
Maybe that's older brother
Or dad fucks off
Older brother dies in the war
Becomes king maybe
Then World War I happens
And he's going to give a speech to the British people
And be like it's going to be okay
Why did he do that and not Churchill?
Oh, World War I, never mind.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why.
I think Alistair answered.
Well, whoever was World War I Churchill?
I don't know if we had a World War I Churchill.
Well, I mean, we would have had a prime minister.
Britain would have had a prime minister, I guess.
Yeah.
But he was, I don't know, because from the king, it means more to the British people.
So, yeah, like Like when did the royals
Stop having power
Is a thing I just googled
Yeah
1642
Yeah I thought it was
The 1600s
Yeah
So from then
We just kind of
Never really had
I guess the royalists
In the Minions universe
Won the British Civil War
That's what that means
Or anytime from like
That point forward
To anytime
Before 1960s
There's no parliament. Back in power.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh man, metal.
The Civil War culminated in the
execution of the king in 1649.
Whoa. Fucking cool. Why are we
doing that again? Oh dude, we should be executing
heaps of people. I'm always saying
this. Bring back the
guillotine, dude. Everybody's saying
eat the rich, Chop their heads off.
Okay?
You gotta get blood on your hands if you wanna fix
this world. King's speech happens after
the fucking World War I. It's before
World War II. So is it like well done
for doing a World War I?
No, it's get ready for World War II.
Or is it
it sucks that we went to war with my cousin?
I think he's just like...
Is that just the problem with all these fucking rules?
You got like, okay, we're related.
We got one or two options.
We're going to marry and fuck and have more gross children.
Or we go to war.
Or we're going to fight our cousins.
Yeah.
Pretty much.
That's pretty much how it shakes down.
How is anyone a royalist?
I don't know, dude.
But I would be a royalist if King Bob was in power.
King Bob rules. King Bob knows
what's good for the country. I think there's a very
small window for Australia to become a republic
when King
Bob becomes the king, because I
reckon the moment we start hearing more about
King Bob, we're like,
this one's good.
I think we'll like it, this one.
It's good, because then we can really
make fun of the king of England
like everyone else is.
And everyone is like, fair enough.
Fair enough.
He does do little farts occasionally.
His ass is out 25% of the time.
Stupid costumes and stuff.
I've seen the King fart in person.
He falls over heaps.
He's always rolling around like a grape.
The King speech too makes no sense.
Give me that. Pe me the people, people.
No!
Dear people.
Dear people, people.
No!
I'll kill you, King Bob.
Give me my dear people, King Bob.
That's treason.
I think the King Bob speech therapist
may be disbanded for threatening to kill the king. I think the King Bob speech therapist Maybe gets beheaded
For threatening to kill the king
Or try to kill the king
And the knife just bouncing off
Yeah you might end up killing yourself
Ah shoot up a dub dad
Guilty
Oh my god
King Bob brought back the guillotine
Fuck
King Bob would love a guillotine
He would
He would love it.
There's the other strange side of the minions.
They are lovable, but they are also quite evil.
Oh, yeah.
So with King Bob being the king of England,
and I guess apparently holding power and sway over England,
so at that point in time,
who's the most evil person that all the minions will glow onto?
And then will they by default, like Scarlet,
will they by default then become the new royals of England?
But at least they'll be the person that the king of England answers to.
When is the first...
So what year does this happen?
60s, right?
1960.
There is literally a year given, hang on.
Yeah, okay.
It's 1960. There is literally a year given, hang on. Yeah, okay. Yeah, mid-60s.
It's 1960.
So, what?
So, something like
the World War,
I don't know, World Wars,
but maybe the conflicts
that happened.
Oh, no, he's going to
side with Nixon, maybe.
Nixon.
Ma'am.
Saddam Hussein.
Saddam.
That's going to be,
hang on,
has, by Bob becoming
the King of England,
has he, in a sense, made every British citizen a minion?
And then when there is a global conflict, Bob's like, we need to bow down to the most evil superpower.
Yeah, and not just England, it's the Commonwealth.
Free Nixon.
Oh.
What has Bob done for the Cold War? What does Bob done for the Cold War?
What does this mean for the Cold War?
Who's the most evil real-life person?
Okay, so what was 60?
What was it?
I had to get it before, and I've lost it.
Because there are multiple bad people from the 1960s on to the modern day.
I think so.
Okay, so basically we miss Manson and we miss Nixon just.
Okay, that's probably lucky.
Well, we've either got Kennedy or Johnson.
Okay.
Yeah.
Johnson, I think, is.
Well, I don't think any of them are like evil evil.
Yeah.
Like Kennedy wasn't evil.
I don't think.
If loving Marilyn Monroe so much while having a wife is evil, then lock me up.
But there have been quite a few bad people in that period of time.
1968.
Okay.
That misses Manson by about six months.
The Manson family's real big.
I guess it has the entire UK.
Oh, no.
Skelter!
Skelter!
Tricky Dick becomes president in 69.
Okay.
Oh, no. Yeah, but...
Oh, when was he elected?
That's probably 68.
November, right?
That's when they have their elections.
And then the fella comes in in January?
Yeah.
Well, King Bob's...
Immediately made like, Britain is Nixon's now.
The Commonwealth is Nixon's.
When does Nixon start
doing very evil, obviously evil
stuff? Well, it doesn't matter, right? They just
feel the aura and presence of their
evilness. They see the darkness inside them
and so they did DeGruy. Wait, when was Kissinger around?
Ran about Nixon as well? Maybe they just
defaulted to Kissinger, that piece
of shit. Kissinger's a little bit later,
isn't he? But the thing is, the
minions will go, they'll leave Nixon for Kissinger, you know, when Kissinger comes around.
That's just how they operate.
They are going to drive the country of Britain into the earth.
Yeah, Kissinger's not in office until 73.
Okay.
Well, when that rolls around.
It's just, I just feel that all, like, a lot of the-
Oh, it's the security advisor from January 2069.
Yeah, right?
So any kind of conflict where
atrocities have happened, I feel
maybe Britain is now going
to be supporting.
That's all for...
Because Bob pulled Excalibur.
It's not like they can boot him
out. He's divinely
the king. I don't know if you know this about certain history books,
but it's crazy that, in fact, all of them may be, like,
written by the good guy.
That is true.
That is crazy about history, yeah.
So when Bob takes in the power,
and if we don't know he's following somewhat evil,
like, we're getting a lot of stuff written by, well, the good guy again.
Yeah, that's a good point.
So I guess Britain just, what?
So, like, history, as we know it, has definitely changed
because Britain is now involved in conflicts.
Yeah.
Maybe they might have taken a different stance.
Absolutely.
They've picked a specific stuff.
What again?
But maybe also there is some things that have happened
in our past, in our history,
that kind of go exactly how it went down anyway.
But there's more guys there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's more open.
Maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
What was Jonestown?
I think the Minions might be part of Jonestown now.
Sorry, the Commonwealth might be part of Jonestown now.
So, yeah, it depends, like, because they go to the most evil person,
right?
And, like,
how do they define that?
Okay.
Because they're currently in the 60s, right?
They will just,
I mean, after the 60s,
they go to Gru.
Yes.
A child.
Gru is somehow worse
than Nixon.
Like a young Nixon,
a young Kissinger,
a young Chaney.
Gru is more evil.
Young Rumsfeld.
Yeah, with the minions. There's a lot of Young Rumsfeld. Yeah, what the minions.
There's a lot of bad guys out there.
Yeah, there certainly are.
We've got a bad fucking Cheney.
Let me just name the US senators.
Do you think that the people of Britain will try and get Bob off the throne?
Thatcher, when was she in power?
Oh, no!
Bob's full behind me, Thatcher.
We're focusing on a lot of the negatives and the miracles.
Britain's full of sexist shit.
But Thatcher doesn't become prime minister until way later, right?
Because she's around in the 80s.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
The minions are immortal.
Yeah, and they'll just keep going, right?
But then again, in this universe, there's no PM.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Thatcher's just a lady.
But if there's no PM and the king holds power, what the fuck is the UK doing?
If the UK, with King Bob as leader, is now make, the buck stops with King Bob and King Bob makes decisions that then get passed down to his advisors.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
It's up to anyone who can understand Bob.
No one can understand Bob.
What do you do?
So what slime ball, like kind of a worm tongue
in the Lord of the Rings,
you can be like,
oh yes, King Bob is decreeing this.
Well, yeah, because also like...
I can imagine Charles doing that.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
Well, probably you would still have
like royal hangers-on
who were like, well, you know,
we have been royals for centuries
or whatever.
You can't just...
Yeah, and they would try
and marry off King Bob.
Absolutely.
Very quickly, in fact. Well... Maybe two or whatever. You can't just... Yeah. And they would try and marry off King Bob. Absolutely. Very quickly, in fact.
Well...
Maybe two Elizabeths.
They either kill or divorce Philip.
Yeah, yeah.
And then...
And then they marry Elizabeth to Bob.
To King Bob.
That's an unexpected turn of events.
And then nothing really else would happen except that we don't get King Charles and we don't
get like King Willie and so on and so forth.
It just kind of happens the same way it does, right?
But Bob just never leaves.
But Bob never leaves.
So we have no reason to kill Diana.
Yeah.
Diana survives.
Yeah.
One way or the other, Diana survives.
Because there's no reason to then keep them breeding.
No.
As in, like, Charles and that.
To keep making more royals.
Yeah.
Well, because it would just be-
Well, I know that Bob is immortal, but he would just be replaced with more minions.
Yeah, if he ever decides to stop, which he just might,
he'll just put another minion in charge.
Goodbye!
Okay, the king's leaving.
Okay, everybody, we think he's leaving.
You could just be making noises.
He'll be back tomorrow, we think.
Wouldn't it be so scary for him to give an address?
If he runs the country, he makes every decision.
He has to make an address.
He gets out, he makes an address, and he's like,
Kibitiba!
Bakayetiba!
And you're like, I don't know what he's decided for the country.
Can anyone in the Minions universe understand the Minions?
The Minions can understand each other.
Yes.
The Minions can understand people,
but I don't know if anyone can understand the minions.
Kangaroo understands the minions.
They kind of can.
Like they can kind of pick up on it.
In the same way that we can.
Yeah, exactly.
But nobody can fool.
There's no direct translation.
I think this is going to be like, you know, point like the most important thing right
now is for us to be able to understand and communicate with our king.
We need to know what the king is trying to do, because that's going to get Bob frustrated, too.
It's called Minioneese.
What the fuck?
Who speaks Minioneese?
Well, we'd have to learn it.
Surely you can learn Minioneese.
I'm just assuming Gru never has.
What happened?
Do she look like he got stung by a bee?
Well, because it's his native speakers, but then it gives a number, which presumably is the amount of minions.
How many?
10,400.
That's a lot of minions.
That's a lot of minions, and they're all moving into Buckingham Palace.
Minionese, or often referred to as minion language or banana language, is a constructed language used by the minions.
Who can speak it, though?
Can you learn it?
Is it a learnable language?
speak it there? Can you learn it?
Is it a learnable language?
If Bob is like, I'm not going to abdicate the throne, and by
virtue of being a
world leader,
they would kind of be evil,
because they have to commit certain atrocities
to be a world leader, right? Yeah, that is true.
So would he be the
most evil person, right?
What atrocities does Bob have to
commit? I don't know know it's what i'm saying
like what kind of things can like you know the like is it the kind of thing where previously
all of our royals and our parliaments have committed these atrocities because i don't know
that's just what happens to people in power again like you know the you know the person in power was
like oh yeah go colonize australia yeah yeah and then oh wow genocides yeah absolutely yeah those
things that just happen because people are in power.
And then it's like you inherit that throne and you're like, well, I'm not going to apologize for that because that wasn't me.
And maybe I don't.
This crowd was always on my head.
But does Bob, being a minion and not a human being, have the wherewithal to even know what's going on?
Well, yeah, being an angel, he is above sin.
Yeah, he's above.
Well, like, I just don't know what Bob wants.
You know what I mean?
Friendship?
I don't know what he's trying to do.
Well, he wants to serve.
That's what Bob wants to do.
Yeah.
He wants to serve.
So probably.
But then if he's the head.
Yeah.
Then again, England just becomes like it serves it serves another country. Yeah an evil car
No, what the pans because you know who goes to war sometimes? Yeah, are the royal family? Yeah
I just be on
Serving the country
King that's in a print. Yeah, That might send Stuart or Gavin. Yeah. Are they princes?
If Bob's gay, Stuart and Gavin are princes.
Does that work?
You can't.
You can adopt.
Can Charles just decide who's princes now? I mean, if Charles was to adopt, say, I don't know.
Plumbing the Death Star?
Well, no.
We're younger than Willie.
Yeah.
I think so.
If Charles was to legally adopt somebody who is slightly older than Willie. Yeah. If Charles was to adopt, legally adopt
somebody who is
slightly older than
Willie, would they
then be next in line?
Can you jump it?
Whoa!
I don't know.
Or does it have to be
through blood?
Probably has to be
through blood.
I would imagine.
The royal family would
never adopt because
everyone would be like
bleh!
Yeah.
Disgusting. No royal incest blood What's the point of all of this incest if we're not going to adopt because everyone would be like Duh! Duh!
What's the point of all of this incest if we're not going to keep doing it?
Why'd I fuck so many cousins
if you were just going to adopt?
My father fucked his cousin
and his father before him
and his father before him
was I think a sister.
And here you are!
Adopting makes me sick! I think it's sister. So, and here you are. I'm not doing this. It makes me sick.
I think it's awesome that Bob's stopping the incest.
Yeah, 100%.
Well, he's not stopping the incest.
He's just stopping that incest being in power.
Well, yeah.
Yeah, they can fuck their cousins.
They're still fucking their cousins.
That's true.
It's apparently a hard habit to break, you know?
Being a royalist is strange.
It is weird.
I love these old incest freaks.
These people are my celebrities.
They need to be making decisions that affect me somehow.
I guess maybe it's easier to be a royalist now because it's just like, for lack of a better word, freak show attraction.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because they're not making any decisions.
No.
But they are using lots of your money.
Well, yeah, and I suppose it's crazy to me with the Royalists that people could look at that and think elegance.
Because I assume that's what it is.
They're like, look at these elegant, wealthy people.
They look like they're melting.
Yeah.
They look like skeleton someone.
They're like Halloween props.
You know?
Yes. In the UK, uk you're gonna pay a television
tax and that probably goes to the king that's fucked up let me have two televisions in my house
i'm sure bob would dude yeah i'm sure bob would let you have whatever you like yeah so i guess
if bob is yeah kowtowing to whoever the most villainous. But is it a person or does he kowtow to the most villainous country now that he's technically the head of country?
I think it's typically a person, but maybe he would expand into a country.
I don't know if a country can be evil.
It could be led by someone that's bad.
So it's probably whoever's leading it.
Or does it because they always go to evil people like Gru when whoever's leading it. Yeah, like leading that country. Or does it, because they always go to, you know, evil people like, you know, Gru.
Yeah.
When he's a child and he's not a leader of anything.
Well, it's probably worth remembering actually that Gru is still around.
Yeah, I was about to say, like at some point when Gru is born.
Bob's like, hey, Britain, serve this boy.
He's going to become the newest, you know, leader.
So Gru gets an entire nation as an army yeah it
will support at least yeah or at least the the british government that british government i
don't know what that would do to a little boy yeah if again if this universe's king holds like a lot
of power is it akin to say like the u.. president where it's like, okay, so they are technically the leader of that military?
Yeah, I assume so.
And like with, you know, in America, I think they're meant to have those like Congress, which is meant to kind of, you know, make sure that the president doesn't overreach its power.
Yeah.
And like vice versa.
Good job, idiots.
Oh, they're doing a stellar job.
Yeah.
With a king.
What government do they have?
I don't think they have any.
I think it's all just king.
Because if it's just a straight up royalist, that's his power is absolute.
And if he's being chosen mythically by the sword, his power is absolute.
Then he gives it to Gru.
The sword?
No, the power.
Again, if you have absolute power there,
which leads to maybe absolute corruption.
Show me some evidence.
It leads to absolute corruption in a human being.
Maybe not a minion.
But minions are evil.
Minions aren't evil.
They just love evil.
They go towards evil and often they're seen stopping evil.
They killed Dracula.
How many Draculas have you killed?
Yeah, but they killed Dracula accidentally.
He still did it.
Every time he sucked the blood of a virgin, the minions were probably, yeah, okay.
They loved it.
They were probably chewing on her, too.
Probably.
You know, so.
That would be fucked up to see.
Oh, very much so.
Because when the minions work for Dracula,
they probably think that eating people is the thing to do.
You've got to assume in that.
How long do they serve Dracula for?
Hundreds and hundreds of years.
Oh, because it wasn't like a day one.
No, no, no.
Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years.
Oh, yeah.
They open a window for his birthday and they set him free.
And they're very sad.
They are very upset with what they've done.
They killed their boss.
But you've got to imagine, for those hundreds of years, the minions would steal.
But they followed a T-Rex.
Yeah.
Are T-Rexes evil?
I guess not.
How'd they kill him?
A rock?
Yeah, a rock falls on him, I'm pretty sure.
Same with the bear, maybe.
It's also funny that they followed a bear.
Well, that's great because a bear can be evil.
Yeah, in this universe, bears can be evil.
Well, yeah, bears can be evil in any universe.
Animals can be evil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't know what's going on in the heart of a bear.
Maybe that grizzly bear did want to eat Grizzly Man.
Yeah, that's true.
Maybe it wasn't hungry.
It was a vendetta.
You're not wrong.
It's so scary.
I rarely am.
To imagine living in a tiny village somewhere and you're like, you know, during Dracula times.
Yeah.
Hearing the minions giggle, having them break into your room, take you back to his castle.
Well, if there's 10,000, they could eat you like a swarm of ants.
Yeah, they could eat a whole village of one guy.
Yeah.
Like piranhas on land.
Whoa, yellow piranhas.
How many minions
follow in Gru?
Is it all of them?
It's all of them.
I think so, yeah.
Okay, so there's
actually just no schism.
There's no split.
There's no one being like,
The minions are unified.
We are not going to follow
this evil person
and this evil person.
There's no hedging bets.
They know in their
heart of minion hearts
that this person
they are following
is the most evil person possible.
Absolutely.
Gru is the greatest
villain the world will ever see.
Even though he's got a heart of gold.
But then he becomes good.
But then they leave him.
But here's what I keep thinking.
Only in the non-canon Netflix show, maybe.
But also, Gru's not dead yet.
So he might have an atrocity in his future that we don't know about that he's going to commit.
The minions are just patiently waiting for Gru to...
Okay, so they're prophetic, right?
Well, in a way, yeah.
They can sense.
Do they see the potential for evil or do they see the actual event of evil?
I think they must see.
I think within the minions universe, everybody has a darkness to them.
Of course.
And that darkness is innate within them.
It's the cruelty. I guess it is the potential
cruelty they could commit.
But also on some level it must be the guaranteed cruelty.
Funny this was in a bear.
And the Minions
see and grew that darkness
and they're like, this man
has more darkness than
anyone else on Earth.
They also killed Napoleon, don't they?
Napoleon was very evil in the Minions universe.
How does Napoleon die in real life?
He gets shot by a cannon, or a cannon dropped on him.
He gets exiled a couple times, doesn't he?
So wait, the Minions kill him by dropping a cannon on him?
I'm pretty sure.
Or shooting him with a cannon.
One or the other.
Because I'm like, for example, it's like, okay, this person
that we're, the minions are chosen to follow.
They have the potential in them.
They have a burning anger and hatred for
humanity. They're like,
if given the opportunity
or the right circumstances, this
individual is a sociopathic,
psychopathic killer.
They would love to kill a lot of people, but they put that in check.
It's just a darkness within them.
It's a fantasy that they go like, that's my fantasy, but I'm not going to do it.
Would they follow him?
Yes, I think so.
Because, well, so Gru, the evil we see Gru commit is he wants to steal the moon.
He freezes people with a freeze gun.
He causes destruction.
Yeah.
But he doesn't...
That's not evil.
Well, maybe evil is different in the Minions universe.
Or is it just what the Minions think is evil?
Is it more about, like, what we consider evil, they just go towards a tyrant, right?
Or they go towards a person in power.
Like, Dracula is a person in power.
Yeah, but Gru's not a person in power.
Yeah, but he wants to be.
Yeah, but Gru exists-
Or does he have the potential to be?
Yeah, I guess.
But he exists in a world full of other supervillains.
Yeah.
And these supervillains are some far more powerful than Gru.
And they don't go towards him.
They go to Gru.
They stay with Gru.
Because Gru, I think, must have the capacity to, like,
I don't know, set a church on fire
or blow up an orphanage in his future that the minions know is coming.
Yeah, but I just...
The minions, you've got to remember, so they were Dracula's cronies for a really long period of time.
And Dracula was full on eating people for hundreds and hundreds of years.
So that means Gru must be at least equal to that in evilness.
Is it an apex predator type thing, which is why they're going towards bear and T-Rex and that kind of thing?
Is it 100% we know it's an evil thing?
Yeah, that's what they say at the beginning.
It's established over and over again.
Gru's just evil.
He's dark.
He's got a cruelty to him.
I know that he's your hero, but unfortunately you've got to understand that Gru is a bad man.
I understand he's a bad man, but what has he done that's so bad?
We don't know.
He lost for evil.
That is a constant.
And also, the two times we see Gru are when he's in his maybe 40s and when he's 12.
So we've got a big period of time where he's
committing crimes we don't say yeah and maybe even after we don't know exactly he may have started the
fucking war in iraq that's a blank spot for us yeah that might have been grew's whole deal
yeah so the minions probably know about that they just don't feel like addressing it in the We have a nomad We have a nomad
Yeah
So the minions probably know about that
They just don't feel like addressing it in the movie
That famous photo of George W. Bush
From our lifetime
Where he's giving the thumbs up at the podium
Where it says mission accomplished
That's Gru
Gru took the George W. Bush kind of place
In the minions universe
Gru
Plane has hit a second tower.
Oh no!
Oh no!
I have just
like, how are they following Gru
if... We've got to take it as rote.
He must have evil in him. He must have done something.
Either he has committed
an atrocity or he has the potential
to commit an atrocity or he has the potential to
commit an
atrocity
because if it's
the potential
then I'm like
okay they
sense the
darkness
but if they
like oh they've
committed an
actual atrocity
or they're going
to commit an
atrocity
because they're
following him
from a young
age
yeah yeah
he's like 12
yeah so if he's
going to do
something then
they can see
into the future
so which one
is it
the minions
must be able
to see
but they get
it wrong
sometimes yeah so it must just be a feeling yeah because I can't well I guess I can't really I mean future. So which one is it? The minions must be able to see what But they get it wrong sometimes.
So it must just be a feeling.
I guess I can't really say. I mean
I guess I can't really say the future because they keep
killing their bosses. Yeah, that's true.
It's just a feeling. A sixth sense.
A sixth sense. They get instinct.
So it's sensing someone's
evilness, not
their event.
Yes, it's sensing the evilness within them. So it's the potential of evilness, not their event. Yes, it's sensing the evilness within them.
So it's the potential of evilness.
For this universe, you have to assume that people have evil in them.
Yeah, I'm there.
That some people are just evil.
Yes, I'm there.
I'm there.
I get that.
It's like, what has Gru done that's so evil?
But he's not done the evil thing.
He has the potential to do things that are evil.
I'm going to find out what crimes Gru did.
Yeah, the crimes of Gru, right? Because he has the potential to be evil, which of Gru right because he has the potential to be
evil which is great because then he goes against his nature yeah but I think maybe I don't know
if potential for evil makes sense in the minions universe or if he just is evil yeah like as in
he is evil at a base level the same way you are a human being. Gru just is evil.
He's an evil man, like Skeletor.
Yeah, okay.
He tries to steal the moon.
Yeah, I was saying that before, yeah.
Yeah, so he's evil, but then he doesn't do anything akin to Dracula eating hundreds of people.
Yeah, that's true.
He's sneaky, dishonest, manipulative, and cold-hearted.
Yeah, so are a lot of people.
So is Dracula.
He's cruel, arrogant, and even sadistic. Yeah, so are a lot of people. So is Dracula. He's cruel, arrogant, and even sadistic.
Yeah, so are a lot of people.
He freezes a lot of people with his freeze ray and enjoys it.
Well, like, if I had the chance.
Yeah, why not?
But love your job.
Yeah, exactly.
You've got to find pleasure where you can.
Yeah.
So all this stuff, I'm like, it just doesn't seem that evil.
Yeah.
Shooting a lot of people with a freeze gun.
Yeah, that's pretty evil.
It's evil, sure, but he's not Dracula levels of eating them.
Yeah, that's true.
Or Napoleon levels of waging wars across Europe.
Shooting someone with a freeze gun would kill them.
Yeah.
Yes, he's killing people.
How's that worse than Dracula?
What I'm saying is it's not on the same level.
Dracula for 800 years sucked the blood of the innocent.
He sustained his life force through eating the innocent.
Gru shot a couple people with a freeze ray.
He also has cut in line at an ice cream shop,
stole some ice cream.
Dracula probably did that.
I stole an ice cream.
He then ate said ice cream in front of a gym
to taunt the people inside who were trying to burn calories.
Bart Simpson did that.
Bart Simpson.
Dominions would love Bart Simpson.
He's got a cruel little heart, this Bart Simpson.
Oh, what about Eric Cartman?
Oh, my God.
Dominions would love Eric Cartman.
And the copper.
Because I thought you, Eric Cartman and Bart Simpson, you were like, Dominions followed them, that makes sense to me.
Following Gru makes little to no sense to me.
I have to assume that in the time we have not seen Gru, he started the war in Iraq.
Some atrocity happened in the middle there that we just don't get to witness because
the minions have picked him.
So we have to accept that that's-
Somehow he is-
Somehow the minions are never wrong.
We understand that
Yeah
And like a plot to steal the moon
Would have been a global catastrophe
That would have wiped out
Millions of people
Could have ended the world
Really
Yeah
That's fair enough
That's fair enough
Maybe all the other villains
Are like
Our plans are a little
We look
We want to
We just wanted to steal a crown
We want to rule
Gru still has that crown
By the way
Oh that's good stuff
I'm glad
I'm glad
Bob would never have wanted it back.
No.
Because that's his boss.
Yeah, exactly.
So, yeah, I guess, yeah.
Is Gru the king of England?
Well, no, because he's the power behind the throne.
Yeah, he's quite literally the power behind the throne.
He's like, I know that I always have Bob on the blower to do anything that I need.
So, I guess-
Imagine being able to speed dial Bob.
That's the dream.
So I suppose what happens is that Bob gets into power.
Gru is born.
Then they start developing.
He becomes the power behind the throne.
Britain develops its own space program.
Britain develops a way to reach the moon.
They steal the moon.
And the earth is destroyed.
Britain and all the colonies, I would imagine, perhaps we can band back together.
Steal the moon, destroy Earth.
Yeah, the end.
The end.
Curtains.
Curtains for humanity.
That's what King Bob did.
Yeah.
That's his legacy.
That is his, well, it's not because everyone's dead.
You can't really have a legacy if there's no one there to witness it.
Well, if there's astronauts.
Oh, that's true.
Minions would be there to witness it.
Oh, yeah, floating minions in space.
Yabba-dabba. King Oh, that's true. Minions would be there to witness it. Oh, yeah, floating minions in space. Da-ba-da!
Ba-ding-ba!
Back to Earth!
Ba-ba-da!
Ba-da-da!
No more bananas.
Sad.
Oh, when they realize, they're going to be pissed.
Yeah.
And I guess they'll just freeze in the vacuum of space after a while.
They'll be into space.
They're fine.
Yeah, they'll be right.
Never mind.
They'll just float through space until they land on another planet,
fight an alien.
Yeah.
Do it all again.
Yeah!
Bob-o!
Yeah.
Maybe that's how we got Minions
in the first place.
No, that's not true.
Yeah, that's not true.
I always thought that maybe
humanity would be the one to, you know,
go out and see the stars.
Wrong Minions.
Minions.
And not only that, it happens in the 70s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought the future was bright.
Turns out it was just yellow.
Yeah.
And not anything because it's over.
Yeah.
The future ended in the past.
1976.
When King Bob allowed a little boy.
To steal the moon. That's a real change. It's little boy to steal the moon.
That's a real change.
It's pretty abdicated the throne.
Yeah, if King Bob didn't abdicate, this podcast wouldn't exist, and lots of people would be so upset.
Yeah, that's true.
But some people happy.
There'd be some people happy.
Well, on that note, I've been Joel.
I've been Jackson.
I've also been Joel.
Meanings are good, except for when they destroy the earth, and I guess they're bad. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's pretty funny. Oh, I've been Joel. I've been Jackson. I've also been Joel. Meaners are good, except for when they destroy the Earth,
and I guess they're bad.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
It's pretty funny.
Oh, I'm laughing.
