After a long vacation, Dave needs some help. In the Operation: DESPICABLE ME 3 Edition game, you help the MINIONS fix Dave’s wacky ailments by using tweezers to pick silly “Funatomy” pieces out of the game tray. Keep a steady hand and move cautiously, because the second you bump Dave, the buzzer will sound. The player who removes the most “Funatomy” pieces wins the game. The Operation: DESPICABLE ME 3 Edition game includes a game board, tweezers, and “Funatomy” pieces. Two “AA” batteries required, not included.
Both toys are available at most major toy retailers and on HasbroToyShop.com.
Joining Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) and Lucy (Kristen Wiig) in DESPICABLE ME 3 is Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award winner Trey Parker, co-creator of Comedy Central’s global phenomenon South Park and the Broadway smash The Book of Mormon. Parker voices the role of villain Balthazar Bratt, a former child star who’s grown up to become obsessed with the character he played in the ’80s, and proves to be Gru’s most formidable nemesis to date.

After he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for failing to take down the latest bad guy to threaten humanity, Gru finds himself in the midst of a major identity crisis. But when a mysterious stranger shows up to inform Gru that he has a long-lost twin brother—a brother who desperately wishes to follow in his twin’s despicable footsteps—one former super-villain will rediscover just how good it feels to be bad.

My dad is a huge animal lover! With his help, we raise monarchs in the summer…last year we raised and released 247 monarchs! This year we hope for over 300!
That is so cool. I didn’t know people did that.
My dad runs 20 miles any given Saturday like he’s taking out the trash. He’s 63. That’s pretty dang cool!
Holy Cow! That’s impressive! I’ve done 20 mile runs occasionally when training for a marathon, and I know how tough that is.
My dad was the coolest ever. He would join right in and play with his kids whether it was playing house, cowboys and indians, etc. Nothing was beneath him.
That sounds like a great dad! Thanks for sharing.
My daddy is 73 years old, raised 5 kids, (I am the oldest), worked for 30 years in computers and now is a blues musician cutting his second CD. 😁

My dad is the funniest guy, he just says random things that really make no sense but he has a great sense of humor!

My dad is kind and funny and great with my children when him and my mom got together she already had my sister so my dad at a young age adopted her. When they divorced and he got with my step mom she also had a baby boy who without hesitation he made his own also and I love him for that.
Sounds like your Dad has a great capacity for love and kindness.
My Dad is a martial arts master. He has always taught us self defense moves. I haven’t had to use them yet to protect myself, but if anyone ever tries…
Nice… good luck with the moves.
My Dad is so cool as he battled cancer and won!
That is so awesome! Congratulations to him!
He lets the kids put makeup on him and dress him up. That’s what makes dad so cool he’s despicable.
