On July 2nd, 2022, TikToker benedicthoward_ reiterated the term "Gentleminions" in a video showing him and his friends getting ready for the movie and then actually showing up at the theater. Over the course of two days, the video received roughly 1.6 million views and 202,100 likes (shown below). The video's description read, "Bobspeed you gentleminions," hence coining the term. Inspired by the ironic adoration, the official TikTok account of the Minions franchise posted a video on July 2nd, 2022, showing a Minions stuffed animal looking out a skyscraper window while overlayed videos of men in suits played in the background. For instance, on June 30th, 2022, TikToker _pan posted a video that used the song " Rich Minion'" by Yeat and showed disbelief over people actually showing up the theater wearing suits, earning roughly 16.8 million plays and 3.9 million likes in four days (shown below, left). Starting on July 1st, young men manifested the meme into real life by showing up to theaters wearing suits and other formal attire. In late June 2022, YouTubers and TikTokers started joking about arriving at the theaters on July 1st, 2022, to see Minions: The Rise of Gru wearing fancy attire like suits, dress shirts, ties and blazers, all in reference to the Tickets To X, Please trend, as well as the Fernanfloo Dresses Up / My Wife's Funeral template (examples shown below).
Additionally, a sign that stated it wouldn't let Gentleminions into the theater went viral after being posted to Twitter. The term was coined by the official TikTok account of the Minions in early July 2022. Multiple TikTok videos documented their arrival, as well as the riots, mosh pits and disruptive cheering they did that often resulted in police shutting down the theaters and showings. Gentleminions is a slang term that refers to the young men and high schoolers that came to watch the 2022 movie Minions: The Rise of Gru in theaters wearing suits, ties and smoking cigars to show ironic adoration for the film.
