I see that you’re unenlightened, so I shall enlighten you to the glorious cause. Minions have gone into post-ironic territory. They’re funny because they were once near-universally considered cringe and made fun of, so in posting that in an ironic way, it becomes funny to the in-group, but in the process of that we’re right back where we started which is that minions are funny.
So, I am indeed afraid that it is you that may be the boomer after all.

I disagree, they will always cringe. Oh and I’m not a boomer by the way.

Humor is subjective and you’re entitled to your opinion, but that’s just my rationale for why I personally find it funny. I’m just poking fun. No hard feelings towards you.

IMO, comedy is even funnier when the joke is explained. It’s like the difference between knowing that the sky is blue, and knowing why the sky is blue.
