Minions Movie TikTok Trend Explained
The popular TikTok trend “#GentleMinions” appears to have become a reality-based counterpart to the “Tickets to ____ please” meme (for example, a picture of Tony Soprano and his crew with the caption “Six tickets for Barbie” pasted on it).
This meme has been used very frequently for a while, but it has recently seen a resurgence in interest thanks to the avalanche of set images for the Barbie movie and the release of the second movie in the Minions franchise.
Well, the new trend is not just about showing up to see movies in suits, but fans have pushed it to the extreme by cheering during the movie and praising other attendees for coming to watch the movie.
The popularity of the TikTok app has recently increased, which explains why Universal Pictures felt compelled to tweet about it. They posted on Twitter with the message, “to everyone showing up to @Minions in suits: we see you and we love you.”
