Are Minion Toys Saying 'What The F**k'?

These Minions are really despicable.

McDonald's has come under fire for distributing toys based on the new movie "Minions" that appear to be using profane language.

The tiny toys, available in McDonald's Happy Meals, can be heard uttering a phrase strikingly similar to "What the fuck."

"It turned out to be a toy that decided to talk profanity," upset grandfather Bradley Merten told Florida ABC affiliate WFTV. "I can't believe it's coming out of a toy."

Detroit Free Press columnist Nancy Kaffer said she "died a little inside" after hearing the phrase repeated by her preschool-age son.

McDonald's released a statement saying the toy Minions are only speaking "Minionese," a fictitious language that apparently includes the phrases "para la bukay," "hahaha" and "eh eh."

The toys will remain in distribution, ABC 7 reported.

Does it sound like it's saying what the fuck to you?
 
Yep, I can definitely hear it, although it could also be a glitch that causes the toy to make that sound when banged against the desk enough.

Hmm... now that I think about it, if someone were to bang me against the desk (oh god, how horribly wrong that sounds :lol:), I'd probably be saying "what the fuck" too. :P
 
Doesn't really sound like 'What the fuck?' unless you're listening in such a way that you want it to say 'what the fuck?'

Like that thing with Aladdin? The "good teenagers take off their clothes" or whatever.
 
Had to YouTube it, and only actually heard it the first time.
All subsequent times it just sounded like mumbo-jumbo.
 
...and this is an issue?

That's what makes me think it's a glitch in the toy's audio system that makes it utter words that sound like "what the fuck", but actually aren't. Hard to say, though. :unsure2:



I couldn't even hear anything until I cranked my speakers up well above the usual audible level, and even then, it doesn't sound like "good teenagers take off their clothes" to me. Maybe, just maybe, something remotely similar to that. :unsure2:

My sister and I heard it, but I know it wasn't said.
