Minion Ways to Die

'Minion Ways To Die (2015)' is a series of skits depicting the minions from 'Despicable Me (2010)' dying in a variety of presumably painful ways. The piece speaks to the general disdain the internet seems to have for the admittedly annoying little guys, acting as a sort of tonic for their appearances in film and seemingly every motivational meme shared by middle-aged mothers. There isn't much to the piece, but it does exactly what you expect it to. It's also generally quite charming. There are a number of movie references sprinkled throughout, which do a good job of breaking up the monotony of the concept and are typically quite amusing. Overall, this is a decent throwaway short. 6.10.
