One of the writers of Idiocracy has actually said he "didn't expect the movie to become a documentary."

[@jamiemacdonald436]

Etan Cohen

[@paulcurran4786]

This belongs in the same category as 1984, Brave New World, etc....i honestly think they knew exactly what they where doing but just couldn't say it.

[@scgreek1114]

When it came out, this was a comedy. Now it's a documentary.

[@fiverx2159]

It’s only a documentary in one country

[@Gnossiene369]

Yeah, good job americans. This movie made you seem fun, now it's just pathetic. Eyes closed, laughing, that's your downfall. Get busy or die laughing/crying.

[@giovanniclimaco6007]

How original. Hilarious.

[@samuelvincent557]

I loved this movie when it first came out, but I tried rewatching it during the height of the pandemic. Suddenly it was less funny and kinda scary.

[@ramanemayberry7176]

Facts!!!😂😂😂😂

[@antonego9581]

at this point the film is looking like a pretty optimistic version of the future. At least Prez Camacho seemed to genuinely care about the people and had the sense to listen to the smart guy when he had some solutions

[@alfredoprime5495]

If you think about it, it's very optimistic because it implies that things didn't actually fall apart until after the "smart" people developed and created the technology to automate everything. Personally, I don't think we have that much time.

[@Lewis9700]

Unlike Beijing Biden who's the living embodiment of idiocracy

[@AneudiD78]

Notice what they were wearing throughout the movie? The costume designer found a small company that made these shoes that were so horrible looking that she thought nobody would ever wear, and that's what we see in the film. Those future shoes turned out to be Crocs!

[@Yarpon]

It’s like some sort of horrible self fulfilling prophecy.

[@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858]

💯

[@prettypleasewithsugarontop4858]

Crocks

[@John_Locke_108]

Back in 2006 this was a hilarious exaggeration of our world. But I've watched countless times since then because it's slowly become a prediction. Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

[@CrimSang420]

I can't believe you like money, too..

[@cedrikwood5480]

Just wanted to say that I would absolutely vote for President Camacho indefinitely.

[@nullakjg767]

Thats because comacho is a much better leader than anyone we are allowed to pick from. Comacho actually cares about his people, and entrusts people smarter than him to solve world problems. Most leaders just extract money from the population and give it to their cronies.

[@Tijuanabill]

I literally own a Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho for president shirt. The movement lives on.

[@filipvadas7602]

​@@nullakjg767the fact that he actually cares and knows he should give problems he's not equipped to handle to other people who are; alredy makes him a decent leader tbh

[@whocares110]

I am totally prepared to vote for him as soon as he appears.

[@fullspectrumtuning8814]

Hey Informer! The reason you never heard of this film is because they got the rights to use all the brands like Costco and Starbucks, then what they were doing to the brands became apparent in the pre screening. The corporations were big mad and pressured the studio to kill the movie. The studio released it in the absolute minimum extent allowed in the contract, I think it was shown on 20 screens for exactly one day.

[@antonego9581]

a lot of hte CGI was donated by Robert Rogriguez' company too I think. ironic how the story of the movies release only underscores the message

[@Dr.Acula76]

Of all the hilarious quotable lines, Maya Rudolph always makes me laugh the hardest. What do you paint? "You know, people, and fruit and shit"

[@harryrabbit2870]

This is one of the few movies that made me laugh and filled me with great sadness and dread for the future at the same time. Mike Judge ( of "Beavis and Butthead" fame) is a shrewd judge of American culture. Kudos to him. Great reaction and your post-watch analysis was spot-on.

[@mikedignum1868]

It's a scary film about where this civilization is going. PS, this film brought us Croc shoes.

[@Ryong84]

idocracy is one of the best documentaries ever made

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

Writer/director Mike Judge is the creator of BEAVIS & BUTT-HEAD, and voices both characters, as well as several others on the show.

[@jhowler9235]

King of the Hill is his best work by far

[@OctavioGaitan]

As a guy with a good brain, this movie is just saddening to me, because it's showing us a glimpse of a future where we kept going down a path of wrong decision making, and the smartest of people being discouraged from having offspring to carry on their intelligence. I wish people would come back to reality and see what's happening in our world.

[@lavernc.6647]

They did predict the Croc. In fact, that shoe was created as a satire of relaxing shoe standards, and well...

[@almol1682]

Crocs were invented at that time, chill

[@thefourty-yearoldgamer8289]

Love this movie!! and love Terry Crews as President Camacho! so awesome!

[@GreenJeepAdventures]

Demolition Man is another movie that has a fun spin on the future.

[@martymar1964]

You mentioned interest in how the rest of history would be portrayed via the Time Masheen from an idiocratic perspective. Sounds like a good idea.

[@KurticeYZ]

That last upgrade scene 😂😂😂😂 soooo perfect

[@stobe187]

Upgraydd

[@Tijuanabill]

They tried for that sequel. Valiant effort. 🤣🤣😂😂

[@KurticeYZ]

@@Tijuanabill nah its just a joke scene. I doubt its sequel bait. Another reason why this movie is great. It knew it was a one & done

[@Tijuanabill]

@@KurticeYZ It could be that putting sequel bait, IS the joke. 😂😂🤣🤣

[@KurticeYZ]

@@Tijuanabill lol yeah

[@reservoirdude92]

"He's gon' FIIIIIIX, the ec-OMONY!" This movie has so many lines that live rent free in my brain 😂

[@casualcausalityy]

The scariest part is I KNOW I'd be tempted to vote for a candidate like President Camacho. Someone you could shotgun a beer with

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

2007 funniest movie ever made. 2023 is absolutely the most terrifying movie ever.

[@scottsmith3003]

IT'S HAPPENING!!!

[@katiestewart5688]

With mankind's reading comprehension skills lately I say we're close to achieving Idiocracy level. I've used the phrase so much the words are now embedded in my suggestion line because my phone already knows what I'm going to say

[@scottsmith3003]

GO 'WAY, Baitin'!!

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

I laughed so hard when the front desk person was using something similar to emojis. Now it’s standard along with the blank stare.

[@Jamezy316]

"K sir, we're coming in" "no... you cant come in" "CAN TOO!" 😂 "welcome to costco... I love you"

[@BackmanBanzai]

This is a great film! Last time I noticed that the opening shot is at people in a theme park waiting to get into Future Town that is supposed to give a sense of what the future could bring and at the END of the movie it ends on the Time Machine which is a theme park ride to give people a sense of what the past held. Like the present is about the future being something to look forward to but in the future the past is what people long for.

[@jeffthompson9622]

Thank you for sharing your reaction to this. The writers of this had to have been influenced by "The Marching Morons," a story by Cyril M. Kornbluth.

[@vovindequasahi]

Great reaction to a great hilarious movie. We're almost there folks! This isn't even ridiculous anymore!

[@SuddenReal]

Terry Crews recently reprised his role as President Camacho for a colon cancer PSA.

[@balansboy]

This was filmed as a satire and ended up being a documentary

[@kennedy6587]

Lmao, I’m only at the beginning of the video, but I hope you watched the after credits scene where Upgrayyed woke up out of a military pod as well 🤣

[@debbyemerson3877]

18:35 HAHAHAHA Thank you for including that moment 😂 Great reaction - you get it 😎

[@Strider91]

This and Office space man. . . Truely prophetic

[@boqndimitrov8693]

even though it's a comedy, it presents a pretty scary future!

[@jonreeder798]

Funny side note... When they where filming the movie the director said he wanted to put them in shoes that was so absurd that nobody would wear them... Crocs afterwards became as popular as they are now

[@TheSynthwaveMisfits]

500 years? Nah, it's already here.

[@chrisofstars]

Hahaha that end credit scene was put there just for you 😂

[@MisterFastbucks]

You laugh. But every day this movie becomes more and more prophetic. BRAWNDO! THE THIRST MUTILATOR!!!

[@snukums85]

I love that you are awake

[@amariebloom]

Oh this should be a treat! You reacting to this masterpiece lol!

[@MrLovegrove]

I never thought this was a comedy. Since I first saw it back when it came out, I've referred to it as the scariest movie I've ever seen.

[@robling1937]

This film got buried because they got permission from companies to use their real name (Carl's Junior, Stabucks, Costco, ect), but didn't give context of what they were doing. So when they saw the movie and what they had done with their brand, they buried the movie.

[@dberk023]

This is a true documentary of our future.

[@mikewilson8600]

Mike Judge said he was scared for the future after the crowd started laughing at the Ass movie before telling the audience what they wanted in the shot.

[@hooh5479]

The tattoo thing is like the QR code that we have experienced just to enjoy access to basic freedoms that we had been taking for granted so far.

[@John_Locke_108]

We don't even need the tattoo nowadays because our phone can just transmit all of your info automatically based on proximity.

[@megsley]

i watched this movie every night my senior year of college 😂 me and my friends could quote it by heart!

[@nevalelapena]

This movie comes to my mind time to time... Watching those content where they ask people to read a clock, or hearing people talk like the Migos or NLE Choppa

[@KurticeYZ]

My fav part of this movie is how entertaining it is while being a critical thinker movie on some level while trying to be only surface level regarding tropes and comedy yet its quite complex in reality. Such a great movie that instantly communicates a number of interpretative messages

[@giovanniclimaco6007]

So, this is complex or deep for you. Ironic.

[@KurticeYZ]

@@giovanniclimaco6007 oh youre not smart enough to see its complexity? What a dummy...

[@CrimSang420]

I know a lot of long words, too. Flabbergast. See? That's a thinking-person's word right there, Sonny Jim, don't even try to deny it. That's a bleedin' gem as it comes to smart words, that. Also, the zeitgeist of the situation is palpable in its tenacity, don't you find..?

[@KosmoAlx]

This movie and Don't look up are the best documentaries.

[@JakkiPi]

This movie is where Crocs originated from.

[@almol1682]

They originated from the startup made before the movie

[@jeremyzier8706]

The greatest futurementary of all time.💕 I quote it on the daily basis pretty much as I deal with people who could be characters in the film. I could pretty much quote the whole movie. You didn't hear about it except due to word of mouth because the corporate sponsors that signed on didn't realize what they had gotten into until it was too late. So the movie studio put it out in as few theaters as legal obligated to. I learned about it from a co-worker back in the day.

[@ericmoss7424]

This movie used to make me laugh hysterically! Now, unfortunately knowing how prophetic it is, it just depresses me.

[@ashmable0767]

Glad this movie is getting more love!! Totally is our future if we don't watch out!!!

[@ramanemayberry7176]

@Caped Informer Just a side note, the pimp, "Upgrade" is played by Mr. Scarface, from the Geto Boys.

[@Tijuanabill]

This is one of those movies I hyped for years, insisting it was great, and everyone just said it bombed at theaters, as if that means anything.

[@Stevil3113]

It’s funny to me how the irony of reacting to this movie as a form of entertainment is really just one step closer to the point of this movie. And it seems to go over everyone’s head.

[@stormingelysium1996]

The Costco greeting is my favorite :p

[@scotter23]

Best is the Brando science. Same stuff we heard about the Rona for years. “I’m pretty sure that’s not what’s happening.” “Oh yah?!? It’s THE SCIENCE!” Lol. Lemmings we are.

[@paulwilliams5208]

if you are to looking for this movie in the shop, you will only find it in the Non-fiction area

[@Bukoe]

And this movie is why we have Crocs today .=)

[@rjseditsandcleanytps]

I watched that movie, and it feels kinda scary, by focusing on the story instead of comedy, when joe was confused, i was confused too

[@joshdavis3743]

15:59 bingo. Also, this movie should be called "Average Customer service job."

[@ChefSplitwitdaSoul_21]

Another underrated gem 💎

[@RowdyRuth]

Great foreshadowing by the writer! Fun and scary all at once. 😊

[@davidhasselblad2898]

Somehow i never saw the upgrade ending scene 😂😂 that was priceless.

[@doncacique2769]

Shttt we're not far from living like this 😂

[@coryfeldman-hz2yj]

Terry crews and mya rudolph are so crazy funny in this movie.

[@whocares110]

If we continue on down the road that we have been on, this is where we are heading.

[@mctru3582]

Nobody could have done better then Terry Cruz for his part

[@bi7630]

I actually watch this movie everyday. Its on cnn on repeat

[@1rexrex]

Instead of "Up Grade." We got "Offset." Cardi B was a painter too.

[@Tommysimonsen]

Nice, and about time, I don`t get why most reactors have not reacted to this yet, same with, Thank you for smoking.

[@CrashCraftLabs]

my fav movie of all time, less of a comedy now and more of a doc on real life haha

[@native2139]

So many people love this movie even celebrities lol will ferrell told terry crews personally that he loves president camacho lol

[@notmychannelname42]

This is probably the best comedy film ever made.

[@danbrit9848]

It's no longer a movie it's reality

[@1957Shep]

This was supposed to be 500 years in the future. But as I see what is happening today in the world, I`m beginning to think we are about 475 years ahead of that schedule.

[@larindanomikos]

You know, I own this movie and I never saw the part with Upgrade at the end before now.

[@fatsam2564]

The inbetweenrs uk is a brilliant British comedy series, would love to see that on your patron you’ll also get lots of new subscribers

[@craigescapeddetroit5198]

The Movie is a Documentary.

[@pamnicklas5536]

This is so relevant that it's scary.

[@wyledawg]

everybody was wearing crocs

[@milquetoast_tony]

Upgrayedd is played by Scarface from the Geto Boys

[@IsThisThePrizeIveWaitedFor]

The scary thing is, there’s a study that shows IQ is going down

[@krisfrederick5001]

From the maker of Office Space and Beavis and Butt-Head. Society went in the wrong direction entirely. He was just trying to make a commentary and warning on the stupidity of humanity as a normal dude and a literal rocket scientist . And here we are staring into the abyss. Uhhh...or something.

[@asaashara2592]

We saw it coming

[@88997799]

Upgrade would be like Lex Luther in a future like that.

[@KablethaKiid]

Upgrayyedd was played by Scarface from The Ghetto Boys, classic!

[@RandomRoger]

Did you know the character Upgreyedd was played by the rapper Scarface?

[@robmann400]

One of my favourites! Another one is Napoleon Dynamite. Give that rare gem of a comedy a try sometime please. Thanks for making videos eh.

[@carm3d]

Fox spent $0 on marketing for this. I hear rumors a sequel is in the works.

[@adrianpetyt9167]

If Terry Crews ran for president in character as Mountain Dew Comancho, how many votes would he get?

[@Farfignewton29]

A caricature president with a crazy haircut? Can you imagine? 🤨

[@prltqdf9]

All these reaction videos are proof that the idiocracy is already here.

[@janna2245]

Unfortunately, I don't think the studio alert Fuddruckers, Costco and Carl's Jr. to how bad their images were going to be trashed. It killed the movie
