"Despicable Me" Nerdfighter references!!

[Stalking Sanity]

Oh my gosh, guys. There were so many of them. One of the orphans is named Margo. They shrink an elephant (my friend leaned over and said "puppy sized elephant!") Vector had glasses very similar to John's nerd glasses AND I could've sworn I saw him give the Nerdfighter salute at one point.

That's all. I just had to share.

Awesome! Hopefully I'll be seeing it tonight :) I'll keep an eye out for them...

[Stalking Sanity]

Also, the movie itself was really fun!

I looked for the salute, and you are correct! He does do it at one point! I think someone making the movie must've been a nerdfighter! xD

[Eleanor Rigby]

He totally did the Nerdfighter salute! I was pretty excited.

Someone named Margo? A small elephant? Nerdy glasses? Spock's universally-famous hand gesture? The odds of all these things appearing together is clearly next to 0, so the movie MUST have been made my nerdfighters!

It was definitely the Nerdfighter salute, not the Vulcan salute... as for the other stuff, yeah, it could have just been coincidence, but the fact that it was in the same movie as someone who gives the Nerdfighter salute could mean they're connected. Then again, the salute could have just been put in by an animator, whereas the other things would have been right in the movie script... So whatever.

I don't know if the references are nerdfighter made or just coincidence but does it really matter? Let them have their fun. The movie will just have more meaning for them with all these inside jokes.

I thought I was crazy! Vector did the salute and I leaned over to my friend and said, "Nerdfighter!". I'm pretty sure he had no clue what I was talking about.
That is now one of my favorite movies of all time.
Nerdfighters rule the world!

You know, I was thinking I saw something nerdfighterish in that movie, and that's definitely what it was (and the Margo thing too, because she was even sarcastic like Paper Towns' Margo)! That means the movie is officially made of awesome.

There is also a squid that sticks to a wall, and a squid is nearly an octopus.

[Kenny]

This thread is officially grasping for straws.

Also, the word "squid" begins with the letter s, and "Nerdfighters" ends with an s.
