is anyone else surprised with how edgy it looks?

Please keep in mind that I am a 21-year-old college student who is always stoned. I'm not offended by anything and I'm aware that the studio's films have always contained some crude humor..... but with the minions being such an appealing thing right now, to even really young children, I am a little confused as to why this movie seems to have so much dirty humor and violence in it. Before you say it doesn't look worse than the other recent films of its kind, just let me recap some of the things that happen in the latest trailer, and the latest trailer alone. Assuming you've already seen the official poster.......where they are all naked.

-The trailer begins with a montage of four different deaths, one of which being a sword going directly through a man's body
-Sandra Bullock's character adjusts here dress over her boobs midair while inches away from the camera
-One of the minion's giggles at the sensation he gets after getting hit in the nuts
-The three minions disguise themselves as one woman and feel the supposed breasts at a man and open them up
-One of them lands on the queen's boobs
-They get thrown into a torture chamber and a man attempts to hang them
-There's a long shot of the back of one of them prancing in a thong
-The trailer ends with one of them making out intensely with two different fire hydrants in a hot tub

Again, I don't care. I think it looks funny. But I can definitely foresee parents being pissed.

i hope this movie has no more than the four boob jokes in the trailer. if there's anything this movie doesn't need, it's more boob jokes.

About the fire hydrants, the two spigots on the side of a normal hydrant have been moved to the front to resemble breasts.

I saw that and died of laughter.

Wow. I did not notice that. It already felt like a blatant threesome joke.

[–] DeputyDippity 9 years ago

I rewatched it to be sure that I was seeing it correctly.

I realize that these hydrants are different from any fire hydrants that I've seen in real life in that they have three or four spigots, instead of two. That way, two of the spigots can be closer together and angled to look like breasts. Apparently, they exist in real life and I have just never paid attention.

It's not in every trailer, only Trailer #3, found here...

At the 1:32 mark, you see that a fire hydrant has at least three spigots.

At the 3:16 mark is when you can see the hot tub threesome and the spigot breasts.

Some other stuff that we failed to mention that might offend churchy, patriotic supermoms include...

* A nude minion who slaps some starfish over its nipples like pasties
* Transgenderism (a guy in Scarlet's audience)
* Minions as illegal immigrants
* Cannibalism (Minions trying to eat each other)
* Litter in the streets
* Theft of a crown

Won't somebody please think of the children?

Several of these things sound more likely to offend politically correct Social Justice Warriors.

Pasties over non-existent nipples?
We've seen starfish "bras" before on mermaids.

i think the torture chamber is worse than the fire hydrants. you always see a man in a jacuzzi with a girl on each arm. so thats not too bad. i thought when they were on the rack and getting hanged was pretty dark.

No, not surprised at all.

The minion giggles because he HAS no nuts.

If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life.

I went to see the film today with my 3 children.
I'm not Pissed at ANY aspect of the film.

In fact, I absolutely loved it. Especially when the Minions get Pissed off and sound like they are swearing.
I'm very sure I also heard a Minion version of "Boll*cks"
