Your visit is important to us. Please give all your bank account and personal information to the nearest Minion and stare mindlessly at the screen for a end-of-summer message from your Minion Master, following the usual commercial interruptions.
Minions at work is inadequately supported by your purchases from our web stores and our advertisers. Help us bleed green just a little more slowly by purchasing tee-shirts, buttons, calendars, hats, undies (we kid not!), and other fine Minions at Work items at one of the following stores.
While waiting for your impending doom, pick up a Minions at Work tee-shirt or other great gift:
THE MINION'S LAIR OF MERCHANDISE
"Where the beatings will continue until all customers are satisfied!"
and
NUMBER TWO'S HOUSE OF NAUGHTY
(Oh, come on. You know you want to be naughty!)
Join the Minions reminder email list or we will send a vice-presidential candidate to kiss all your babies!* It's free, it's easy, and you'll never miss a Minions at Work cartoon (or if you do, it won't be our fault!)
*Actually, we're just going to send Minion Number Two in a designer dress and librarian-glasses and he's just going to bruise the little tyke's face with his gas-mask. This, however, is still better than being kissed by the candidate.)
Greetings, Victims of Circumstance!
AHHHH! AHHHHH! PANIC! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! CASH OUT WHAT'S LEFT OF YOUR 401K AND INVEST IT IN TULIP BULBS AND CANNED GOODS! HURRY! FOR GOD'S SAKE HURRY!
Oh.
Wait.
Was I supposed to say something calming?
I don't often hit on current events, but since this gave me an excuse to reuse one of my all-time-favorite Minions at Work images, I couldn't resist. (I've got another scene set up at Minions Studios that I had intended to post, but maybe you'll get it later in the week as that make-up cartoon I've been promising.)
Anyway, we're all just Minions in this great nation of ours, and rule number one of being a Minion is, you really don't have any control anyway, so there's no sense in panicking. Just adopt a zen-like state of calm, go to your inner Happy Place, and try to hold onto the handrail so the blast doesn't blow you off the catwalk and into the yawning abyss.
See? Isn't that better?
- your helpful Minion Master, Steve.
And don't forget to run out and spend your last few dollars on that

Hi, Steve.
Just met up with an honorary minion at the weekend. Jonathan Coulton was playing Glasgow (the one in Scotland). He performed all the correct coded songs, including Skullcrusher Mountain, Chiron Beta Prime and the Future Soon. So I knew it was really him. I was wearing the correct Minion uniform (the silo baseball shirt) so that Jonathan would know he was among fellow conspirators.
BTW has that body-part made its way to you yet?
Mark T.
LOL! Reminds me of a couple local radio personalities- "Hey, gas is under 3 dollars"....""Yeah, well so's my 401K!"
The item arrived, Mark. I emailed you about it a while back. Perhaps it's stuck in your spam folder?
Coulton is great. I think Skullcrusher Mountain was released under creative-commons, which means I could possibly use it in some future video. Hmmm.
Ah... the dreaded Spam folder. Beats the comfy chair every time when a quick confession is required. Oops, sorry were you talking about another Spam folder?
I'd love to see a Minions production of Skullcrusher Mountain. Apparently there is a ponkey making a world tour at the moment but I'd like to see your take and your version of Scarface.
