Minion Training School

Because underlings need training too.

There is no way for a good evil mastermind to get anywhere in the world without a hefty supply of grunt-work. Who else can be summarily executed when not successfully performing their tasks or sent in their droves to fight off charismatic heroes.

However, while there are many job opportunities. There is a shortage of skilled workers. The MTS would be a place where an average person could be trained to become an evil minion in mere weeks. Minions would be taught valuable skills such as succesful grovelling, cat preening and extremely basic firearms training. On graduation you would also be presented with your standard uniform.

Advanced courses, for those wishing to travel up in the minion promotion ladder would include; not investigating things alone, actual target practice and monologue avoidance. This can help you rise up to the ranks of underling, henchman or even right-hand man. Just think, if your boss snuffs it, you could be the next leader.

       Uh, yeah, I'll take 50 grunts, 20 underlings, 15 minions...and, uh, well I've got to take over Italy by tuesday, so better gimme a couple mad scientists too.

       Fighting training includes the discipline to wait your turn, whilst watching fellow minions being dealt with, one by one.

       Credit where credit is due [baconbrain], the big bad guy is likely to end up 6 feet under but countless minions would have perished before this, so the odds of surviving to be his successor are not great.
I would love to see that street [hippo].

       firearms training should include shooting a machine gun to always *just* miss hitting the hero in staccato fire....   

       great idea....love it

       Has some one been playing Evil Genius?

       //*just* miss hitting the hero??   

       And possibly grappling lessons - including the maneouvre where the hero's head is pressed into a fire/circular saw/over cliff edge, only for the minion to somehow end up being chop suey.

       I was thinking along similar lines to this idea just the other day, watching Agent Cody Banks getting chased by a bunch of minions on ski-bikes.   

       Minion training would be so much better than secret agent training! You get to wear a tracksuit, you don't have to bother with all the book-larnin', and the range of vehicles you'd be required to drive would be impressive, to say the least. And it takes pretty good marksmanship to *never* hit the hero, not even by accident. and let's face it, the ability to fake one's own death is a skill that we could all find useful in our daily lives.
