From the Minions movie, assisting tyrants throughout history:

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Is there a better second frame? It's not crucial, but I didn't "get" the serving tyrants thing, just them being present at different points in history. (Crown notwithstanding, lying down impaled doesn't scream "leader" I guess.)

Even the king lying there impaled looks like some point in history, so even without the context, it fits the trope.[tup]

I think it works, especially in context of all parts of the image.

[tdown] OP demonstrates how the minions have been around at certain events in history (= Historical In-Joke), but I don't really see them shaping the outcome of those events.

OP suggestion is better than nothing.

Perhaps X-Men villain Apocalypse expositing on his role in human history?

^ Not bad, but it probably won't work in wikisize.

[up][up]That looks like a lot of text, and probably won't work in wiki-size.

Apocalypse would be good for Image Links but is way too texty for a page pic.

The clock's up and I'm not seeing enough consensus on the Minions pic to run with it. Locking up.
