Herbert "Herb" Overkill is the secondary antagonist of Illumination's 5th feature film Minions, a prequel to the Despicable Me franchise. He is the assistant and husband of Scarlet Overkill.

He was voiced by Jon Hamm, who also played Matthew Trent in Black Mirror, Buddy in Baby Driver, Reverend Richard Wayne in The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Don Grouper in SpongeBob SquarePants.

Description[]

The character Herb Overall is the loving husband of Scarlet Overkill, a notorious supervillain who invite the minions to become their servants and live in their house with them. His appearance could be described as tall, skinny, with very bushy hair. He is very laid-back, and often follows under the instructions of Scarlet.

Biography[]

Herb's Introduction[]

Herb is first introduced by his wife Scarlet Overkill, showing his love and care for Scarlet and acts as a friend to the Minions by doing the same greeting that Stuart did earlier on.

Back Stabbing Little Traitors[]

Later on Herb gives them special gear and (Bob: Stretch Suit, Kevin: a gun that shoots out lava and Stuart: Hypno Hat) to steal the crown jewels. He also reveals his ultimate weapon, which isn't finished yet. After they find out that Bob is the new king, Herb and Scarlet invade Buckingham Palace to take revenge.

Locked in the Dungeon[]

Later Scarlet locks the Minions in a dungeon leaving them with Herb (by his nickname Blerb so they do not know it was him) to torture them, but he to get too carried away by the Minions' outrageous antics and plays with them instead. When Scarlet calls him, he leaves the dungeon, popping back in moments later to reveal it was him (which the Minions knew all along) and that he doesn't even know anyone named Blerb, apparently convinced they fell for his ruse.

Queen Scarlet[]

After the Minions escape in an attempt to apologize to Scarlet, they almost crush her by accident with a chandelier. Herb and the other attending villains help move the object and see if Scarlet is alive, which she is. Still alive and very angry, they orders a big angry mob to kill the minions.

Final Battle[]

Kevin goes back Scarlet's house, gets in a machine that belongs to Herb that makes him giant and saves Bob and Stuart from Scarlet and Herb, when Scarlet tries to get away with Herb, Kevin grabs them by super strength (despite that he is giant), and blows up with the rocket that Scarlet shot in his mouth and some how they survived the explosion.

New Master[]

Herb and Scarlet steal the crown again and try to get away, but they are frozen by a young Felonious Gru's Freeze Ray. Kevin, Stuart and Bob have found a new master and leave Herb and Scarlet behind after Bob puts his small crown in Scarlet's hand. It was unknown what happened to both Scarlet and Herb afterwards, but is revealed that they got arrested, spent about a year in jail, ruled it utterly, and escaped.

It is also unknown if he or her husband were still alive by the time the events of the first Despicable Me came around considering that he would be in his early-80s if the first Despicable Me film happens in 2010. He was born in 1926.

After-Credits Scene[]

Scarlet, Herb and the villains appear in the after-credits scene somehow, dancing and singing with the rest of the characters. However, they are scared off by an arriving Tyrannosaurus.
