Minions are taking over the world with their movies, merchandise and games. Now they are beginning to take over the streets of Dublin, Ireland -- literally.

Kevin, a fan favorite of the minion franchise, made his way to the streets of Dublin to cause a 15-minute traffic jam. The 40-ft. minion was originally set up at a funfair to entertain the kids (and some adults) who are just obsessed with the adorable yellow creatures. Thanks to a gust of wind, poor Kevin was lifted off the ground and landed in the middle of a road in Santry.

Police eventually made it to the scene to help get traffic back to normal and to return the minion back to his owner. No it wasn't Gru, it was some guy who eventually carried Kevin away in a wheelbarrow.

Pretty soon, I think more minions will be causing adorable chaos if more inflatables make it around the world. I think war will be waged against wacky waving inflatable men!
