When Idiocracy and Team America: World Police came out in 2006 and 2004, no one would have ever expected how prescient both films would turn out to be. Of the two, Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Team America probably had the quickest impact, as it satirized global events that were taking place at the time, making it a lightning rod for controversy. However, it was also a pretty big box office hit. However, Mike Judge’s Idiocracy ended up buried by its home studio, 20th Century Fox (now owned by Disney), with it essentially going direct-to-DVD. Yet, in the years following its release, it picked up a major cult following due to how it predicted certain things that would eventually come to pass. In this compilation of two of our most popular episodes of WTF Happened to this Movie, we take a look at two cult classics that have stood the test of time for reasons no one could have predicted back then.

Mike Judge, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone were way ahead of their time.

Idiocracy was not a movie; it was prophesy. Brought to you by Carl’s Jr.

The studio execs realized Office Space and Idiocracy were about them.

Idiocracy is honestly probably the closest thing we have to predicting the future

These days, Office Space is practically Citizen Kane.

I rented Idiocracy from Blockbuster not knowing anything about it.

I was working in an office. Little cubicals everywhere and to get to the smoking area you had to cut through this space. Im walking to meet up with my "crew". One of the girls asks have you seen Team America. Without messing a beat i lean in, throw up Devil horns and death whisper FUCK YEAH and she spits out coffee and laughed so hard into the silent void that was a Tuesday morning... Memories😊

Team America had me from the initial opening shot, with the puppets within a puppet movie. It's such a brilliant f-the audience moment, cuz you know it's a movie about puppets, but you aren't quite sure how it's going to look on the screen. Then it pans out to actual puppet-France, in all it's stereotyped glory.

"Team America: World Police" (2004), "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (2005) and "Idiocracy" (2006) are my three favourite comedies ever made.

I got to meet Mike Judge and the production crew when they strolled into our office looking to rent some office space for the movie Office Space. I even had a couple lunch dates with a sweet blonde who picked out the background places outside the office such as the restaurant , bar at the hotel next to us and the driving background. The fire in the movie was right outside my window. Loved the movie and it really hit the spot of the tech world in Austin at the time.
