 The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award (R) winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. (c) Universal 

 WTF? 
 
 Some parents claim that this is exactly the question that McDonald's Minion Happy Meal toys are asking kids. And, well, they're not happy about it. 
 
 The lovable, animated Minions starred in two hit movies, "Despicable Me" and "Despicable Me 2." The McDonald's (MCD) toy is tied to the third Minions movie, "Minions," set to open Friday. 
 
 The oblong yellow characters speak a gibberish language sprinkled with the occasional English word or syllable both on screen and off. But some parents are posting YouTube videos of the little plastic toys yammering what they claim are obscenities. Some of the clips have gone viral, racking up a million views in a single day. 
 
 "Originally we didn't think anything of it," said one parent, identified only as Paul B on YouTube. But he said when his wife picked up the toy she heard something "that didn't quite sound right." 
 
 Paul B ends the video saying, "Seriously? Out of a McDonald's Toy." 
 
 The videos are getting lots of play, but not everyone is convinced that the muttering Minions are out of line. Parent Rasoal Hall posted a video asking for opinions as to whether others could hear the obscenity, saying he's just not sure. 
 
 Plenty of profane commentators on YouTube say the concerned parents are crazy. Others say the fuss will do more to spread the curse word than the toy itself. 
 
 "No child would have ever picked up a swear word from that. But they will now," Matt Chaisson wrote.

 McDonald's (MCD) said the noises made by the toy are the Minions' unique language, nothing more. 
 
 "We're aware of a very small number of customers who have been in touch regarding this toy, and we regret any confusion or offense to those who may have misinterpreted its sounds," said spokeswoman Lisa McComb. "The allegation that this toy is saying anything offensive or profane is not true." 

 SOUTH COLUMBUS (Ben Garbarek) -- Some parents are angry about a toy included in Happy Meals from McDonald's. 
 
 McDonald's is selling toys promoting the movie "Minions". Some parents say the toy curses. 
 
 "I heard what it said and I'm like, 'whoa, hang on here,'" said Taylor King, who bought a Happy Meal for his three-year-old son Monday. "It clearly says what it says." 
 
 He thinks it says "WTF" -- only not abbreviated. 
 
 "As soon as we heard it, her mom took it away," said Robert Frazier, another father who bought several for his three young children. "I listened to it and that's when we found out that's what it was saying." 
 
 McDonald's said the toy does not curse. It says minions speak "Minionese," which is a language made up of random nonsense words and phrases. It said any words it may sound like is just a coincidence. 
 
 We asked people on the street what they thought the toy was saying. 
 
 "Unless I was looking for it, I probably would not think much about it," said Jerry Gerken. "Now that I'm looking for it, it does sound like 'WTF'." 
 
 "I heard a bop, bop, bop," said Doug Hermanson. "That's all I heard, which seems completely innocent." 
 
 "I definitely heard it," said Allison Hayes. "I think it was more in my head really." 
 
 "It's a minion," said Nick Murnan. "That's probably the sound they would make." 
 
 Still, those fathers want McDonald's to stop giving the toy to kids. 
 
 "(My kids) are old enough now where they're going to mock anything they hear from a toy," King said. "It's coming from a toy. They're going to assume it's okay to say that."
– McDonald's says some customers have complained that a talking toy included in recent Happy Meals uses a vulgar phrase: WTF, only not abbreviated. The fast-food restaurant introduced a Happy Meal on July 3 with toys inspired by the movie Minions, and reports started trickling out after that of parents picking up on the phrase. The company issued a statement saying the sounds the small yellow figures make are nonsense words (Fox28 reports it's "Minionese"), nothing offensive or profane. It says that the Minion Caveman toy makes three sounds—"para la bukay," ''hahaha" and "eh eh." The statement says "a very small number of customers" have been in touch with the company about the toy. Others have taken to YouTube, reports CNNMoney, with parents posting videos that they say capture the naughty line; this one has racked up more than 1.4 million views as of this writing. McDonald's said the promotion is supposed to run through the end of July. "Our goal at McDonald's is to serve up food and fun for our valued customers, and we're glad to have the Minions on board," the company said. A spokeswoman for McDonald's, Lisa McComb, says there are no plans to take the toys out of distribution. The movie premieres today; critics are so-so on it.
