Minion memes are finally getting the respect they deserve.

Steven Carroll was casually scrolling through Facebook one day, as all typical 23-year-old single white males do, when he stumbled upon his mom’s Facebook post. Little did he know, his life would be changed forever.

“When I saw it, I almost went into cardiac arrest” Steven Carroll recounted. “You can ask my roommates, they legit thought I died. This meme was without a doubt the funniest thing I’ve ever seen and I was there for the premiere of Spy Kids 4-D.”

The meme in question? Your typical boomer Minion Meme.

“Yuck! I just stepped in a big pile of Monday!” These Shakespearean words were the caption of this life-changing meme. It’s clear to see why Carroll laughed so hard.

“One of the reasons it was so funny was because I saw it on a Monday. What are the odds of that?” Carroll told the Alternate Universe.

Carroll, whose humor has been in question by friends and family for years, happened to be seeing a therapist recently for depression. His therapist, F. B. Skinner was able to see noticeable changes directly after seeing the meme.

“He came into my office with a different glow about him,” Skinner said. “He was cheerful, motivated, and would not stop talking about that stupid…I mean….interesting meme he saw.”

After a few further sessions, Carroll has been self-declared “cured” from his depression. He is now on a mission to share how he beat depression to thousands who are struggling like he once did.

Carroll’s story is a beautiful example of the power of Facebook. The genius of Mark “Definitely-a-Human” Zuckerberg is shown through stories like these. Just as designed, Facebook memes are inspiring important changes in the life of its users. I think we all can take a page from boomers on Facebook in regards to depression and just “stop being sad”.
