Attention! Gentleminions might be crowding the theaters near you.
Nobody gets or can get past the jokes and memes of Gen Z. Even big production companies like Universal Pictures and its hit movie Rise of Gru are not safe from them.
It’s a way for young people to deal with all the bad things going on in the world. It’s time for them to rise up with the beloved character.
What is Tiktok for Gentlemen? Start of the Gru Trend
Gentleminions on Tiktok is a new trend where people wear suits to see the new “Minions: Rise in Gru” movie.
Several teens, mostly boys, can be seen in the now-famous videos wearing suits as they go to see the movie. You can see them going up and down on the escalator, buying movie tickets, and then sitting down to watch the movie.
“Gentleminions” is what the people in the suits call themselves. So far, #Gentleminions has been seen more than 2.3 million times by itself.
The suit could be a reference to Gru’s famous “Gentleman” look, since Gru always dresses in black formals. Gru and his army of minions rise up. Gru has a grey and black striped scarf around his neck.
But there is no clear answer to the question of who came up with this idea. But everyone is jumping on the bandwagon anyway.
Fans of the movie Minions show up in full suits memes
Fans of the movie Minions are going to theaters in full costumes, but reactions to the meme have been mixed.
People aren’t even allowed to wear suits to this movie in many theaters. One theater even made a formal announcement on their Twitter page, “We can’t let unaccompanied children in suits into “Minions: The Rise of Gru” right now (U). This is because of the problems we’ve had over the last two days and how we’ve dealt with them. Thanks a lot”
In the same way, some theaters have posted signs outside their doors that say formal clothes are not allowed. Still, people were found to be breaking this rule.
On the other hand, Universal Pictures has shown support for the trend. “To everyone wearing suits to Minions: we see you and we love you,” their official Twitter account said.
The Gentleminions also help get the word out about the movie for free. Since it came out, it has already made more than $221 million USD. Still, nobody knows how much the trend had to do with this amount.
Videos of Gentleminions and What They Mean
Like how Gentleminions took over theaters, their videos are now everywhere on social media.
People in the Gen Z group are either dressing up for this trend or showing that they like it. One person on Twitter wrote, “We have to be good if we want gentleminions to keep going. Don’t yell or bother other people watching the movie. Gentle leadership”
Depending on how your theaters work, you might be able to join in on this trend. You could possibly post it to your Tiktok account.
But if your theater tells you to do something different, please don’t do it. Still, you can still support Rise of Gru by getting ready at home.
Rise of Gru is the movie that comes before the first one in the Despicable Me series. It starts with Gru, who is 12 years old, on his way to becoming the most evil person in the world. The movie came out on July 1, 2022, and both critics and audiences seem to like it.
