155. (my party used this tactic when they prepared for a battle) When you know a battle is coming, lead the minions into a body of water (shallow pond or cave lake works best) where hours before you dumped as much oil in it as possible. Have the party stand on the banks as they march towards you. Just before they get to the banks, have a PC through a lit oilflask/common lamp or alchemical fire into the air, then have your best archer shoot it with an arrow. The flamming debris will light up the oil in the pond and your party has a front row seat.

Alternately, while it may not be brutal:
187: Never underestimate the power of a well-placed forehead-poke!
or slightly more brutal (and probably an overkill)
188: If the minion is undead, "lay on hands" can kill it, as long as you have a certain feat (don't remember the name of the feat). This should blast the minion into the next millenium.
Beat them to death with the eye stock you severed from a beholder!
Divine Challenge against it, while ensuring it can't attack you (fx by having an ally force it to attack something else. Perhaps through domination?).
Step on their feet (unarmed/improvised melee)
"Accidentally" drop a bottle of alchemist's fire among a group of minions. Make sure the bottle explodes.
While not particularly brutal to the minion, my group faced some minions of a much higher level (somewhere around 7 levels higher) so unable to hit them effectively we used a green flame blade from the swordmage to hit another party member that was adjacent to the minions to kill them.
1. Your attempt to do the Zorro cut fails, instead you leave a 5-7 peice puzzle of meat
If you have some time, do as my players did:
The enemy : A weak Priest.
First they cast Silence and positioned the fighter with his scythe next to the bed. Then they cut him, nearly killing him and knocked him unconcous. They placed him on his chair before a table in a typical thinking-position. They stabilised hom with some wax and cut his head off. They placed the head on the table, looking in the direction of the body, which still maintained his pose.
That really was disgusting, but somehow it was very, very, cool.
My character uses his climb speed to run up a sheer cliff face, and then jumps seven squares horizontally towards the minion in midair. He rolls, and gets easily enough to hit, slashing the minion into two fiery exploding halves.
He then proceeded to fall six squares and take five falling damage- but that was more after the fact. The awesome part was running up a cliff, backflipping thirty five feet horizontally and katana slashing a minion in half. It was glorious, and easily the most awesome maneuver of the encounter.
Not legal for PCs, but a DMPC can have fun with it:
Screaming Madness (Channel Divinity feat) + Fourfold Invocation of Doom
The Madness makes the target hit itself with its own BMA at the end of its next turn. Fourfold is an L9 Invoker, burst 10, does no damage by itself.
Between the two of them, you pause all enemies for a turn, then they continue to do their thing, then they attack themselves (and auto-hit). Even an L1 minion does 4 HP. So you have a minion-sweeper who slays minions by their own hand.
Top that.
