12	!!YMMV items for the franchise as a whole:
13	* {{Adorkable}}:
14	%%** Lucy is sweet, dorky, excitable, and appears to have the mind of a child at times.
15	** The Minions are 10,400 cuddly, accident-prone, small, and yellow humanoids that you want to hug all day, to the point they became {{Breakout Character}}s.
16	** Margo gains some tendencies in the sequel when she gets her first crush. Much of her behavior around him is so awkward it's impossible not to love.
17	* BaseBreakingCharacter: The Minions are either the best or worst parts of the franchise, based on how much (or how little) you enjoy their brand of physical comedy. The fact that they have [[FollowTheLeader spawned many copies]] only adds fuel to the fire. Some of the many, ''many'' people who dislike the Minions primarily do so due to their [[BreakoutCharacter insane and borderline omnipresent status in pop culture and advertising]], the increasing focus as the franchise goes on, and their bizarre status as a symbol of out-of-touch seniors on social media, but find them to be entertaining or at least tolerable within the first movie or earlier appearances in general.
18	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
19	** Japan is obsessed with the Minions so much that they made their own Minion-themed area inside Universal Studios Japan, where the ''Ride/DespicableMeMinionMayhem'' ride often gets ''200 minute'' wait times. Japan also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IpP41RrN58 made them and Agnes]] appear in an episode of ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven''.
20	** The Minions are also massive in the Philippines, and there are even claims that some of the gibberish they mutter is ''actually'' Tagalog.
21	** The franchise is also big in South America. In the countries on that continent, whenever a new ''Despicable Me'' film comes out, it will usually top the box office for at least three weeks. The ''WesternAnimation/{{Minions}}'' spin-off is also the highest-grossing film of all time in Chile.
22	* HoYay: Pops up frequently between the Minions, [[OneGenderRace which are confirmed to be all males]].
23	* ItsPopularNowItSucks: The Minions are a source of bile in various circles for all of the popularity and overuse they have gotten. In ''Minions'' and in ''Despicable Me 3'' they were accused of ruining the franchise and stealing the spotlight that should have gone to Gru and the girls.
24	* MagnificentBastard: [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Dr. Joseph Albert Nefario]] is the brilliant MadScientist who works alongside [[Characters/DespicableMeFeloniousGru Felonious Gru]] in his villainous escapades. Assisting Gru in most of his greatest schemes through use of Nefario's strategic and technically sound mind, Nefario constructs cookie robots, a massive rocket ship out of scrap metal, and other ingenious inventions while [[TheCorruptor steering Gru into staying on the path of evil]]. Eventually growing to care for Gru's adopted children, Nefario helps Gru save them repeatedly from harm, and even when Nefario betrays Gru and joins with El Macho to help him dominate the planet, Nefario returns to Gru's side when El Macho [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes threatens Gru and the girls]], Nefario taking down El Macho personally and reuniting with Gru as allies once more.
25	* MemeticMutation: [[Memes/DespicableMe Has its own page.]]
26	* {{Moe}}: The three girls are adorable {{Heartwarming Orphan}}s, especially Agnes, because she's the youngest and the most innocent.
27	* ViewerGenderConfusion: Due to her short hair (at least compared to Margo and Agnes), deep voice and general tomboyish behavior, it can be pretty easy to mistake Edith for a boy.
28	* WolverinePublicity: The Minions. They appear in most of the merchandise and marketing over Gru himself, who is the main character of the films.
