A trend born on TikTok where boys dress in formal attire and attend a showing of, Minions: the Rise of Gru, looking nothing less than absolutely dapper. Boys may proceed to clap at the beginning and end of the movie, appreciating it’s grace throughout a 1hr 30min run time.
Live for the boys, die for the boys.
Live for the boys, die for the boys.
“Our local theater recently started refusing service to guests wearing formal attire, probably due to misbehaving gentleminions.”
