Minion Quotes is a segment that first appeared in Episode 482, and is typically reserved for live shows. In it, one brother brings a group of boomer facebook memes to his brothers. Each picture has a cartoon character with a platitude or quote alongside it. From the quote alone, the brothers have to guess which character the image features and, if they guess correctly, whoever is running the segment has to post the image to his facebook wall with no context.
The segment was first devised by Justin, who ran it for three episodes. It was later revived by Travis and then also performed by Griffin, completing the trifecta.

Other Appearances[]
- Episode 567 - Justin gives an update on the original Minion Quotes facebook group that he mined for the initial run of MQ segments. He says the groups that were posting a wide variety of quotes now only post Minions, and went private. He got into one that was invite-only and is now terrified if he leaves he won't be able to get back in. This may help explain why the segment went dark for 124 episodes before its revival (or, you know, the lack of live shows in 2020 generally).
