The 'Minions Served Hitler' meme revolves around a popular internet theory and critique of the 2015 film 'Minions.' In the movie, the creators established that the Minions were trapped in an ice cave from the Napoleonic Wars until 1968, a plot point widely seen as a deliberate way to avoid explaining which villain the creatures served during World War II. Internet users quickly turned this 'convenient' timeline into a meme, often using it to ironically 'investigate' the Minions' dark history or to mock the brand's sanitized lore. It is frequently used in historical shitposting and dark humor circles to suggest that the Minions, by nature, would have sought out the most despicable leaders of the mid-20th century had they not been conveniently frozen.
