Mike Judge on the Legacy of Idiocracy

In Idiocracy, the society was teetering on the edge of ruin, and the people found the smartest person and put him in charge. The people in the movie were smarter than us.

[@sardonicus76]

I rented “Idiocracy” from Netflix back when they were still sending DVDs through the mail. I was a huge fan of Mike Judge and couldn’t wait to see the movie. Some reviewer had written something about it being a dystopian black comedy, similar to Woody Allen’s “Sleeper” and that made me want to see it even more. Quiet Sunday afternoon. Bottle of beer. Kicked back on the sofa. Ready to laugh my myself silly. Nothing could prepare me for the absolute horror and utter depression of the soul that was/is “Idiocracy”.

[@anothercomment-]

This is no joke: Idiocracy was MASTERFULLY put together. The casting, the script, the acting, the visuals, the production, EVERYTHING. This compliment is not lightly said.

[@Impostorzim]

And it was intentionally sabotaged by the studio. Terry Crews mentions in an interview that once the brands involved and the studio found out what the movie was really about, they scheduled a limited theatrical release and then wiped the film out completely.

[@iyziejane]

The reason he's so cautious about being proud of the movie is that the studio shit all over while it was being made. The problem in test screenings (and in the box office release) is that a lot of dumb people didn't understand the whole thing was satire, they just thought it was an extra dumb movie. That's what he means by "difficult to market."

[@mr.doctorcaptain1124]

That's incredible. I really wish he'd slipped in a joke about that in the film

[@anonplussedhuman2615]

I'm not sure how you know that but yes, that is absolutely fact.

[@-haclong2366]

Fantastic, top-notch entertainment!

I just wish there were better shots of the big motorbike Comacho was driving in the President’s convoy. A bit more effort in the screenplay would have been great.

[@Enrique-Garcia]

He's not beating himself up for the low budget, just disappointed that he couldn't fulfill 100% of what he wanted because he had the low budget, which was entirely up to the studio, not his fault. He knows the movie could've been better if he had a proper budget, that's what I think he gets down on.

I was the first person in my group of friends and relatives to have seen it and I was also the one who introduced it to everyone. That was the only time that I found a gem that early on and had the privilege to show it to other people that had no clue what it was. We still quote lines from it to this day, 16 years later.

[@leonardpearlman4017]

I've always wished there would be a sequel, not sure (!) what would happen in that. People often mention the story "The Marching Morons" in connection with this movie. In that story, the few smart people who run everything secretly (and they obviously exist here, what with the airplanes and other evidence of complex technical manufacture) decide to kill all the stupid people! They make a plan and do it. This doesn't come up as much as you would think. I think Joe would have to meet these people in a further adventure. They are obviously there! There is broadcasting, electricity, aircraft, shoulder-fired missiles, that hospital (it doesn't help Joe much, but if you had been stabbed or were having a baby there was a button to push, something would happen I guess)... Somewhere there are Engineers, Technicians, a professor or two and some kind of educational system. It might not be a secret, it might be something that nobody notices or cares about any more. It's hard to get people interested in books NOW!

Mike Judge is a legend and is up there with Matt Stone and Trey Parker in creating satirical comedy. I highly recommend the Cinemax Series "Mike Judge presents: Tales From the Tour Bus". It's an animated docu-series, that delves into the stories of musics greatest legends. It's a series so full of humour, tragedy, and music and I can not recommend it enough.

A while back, the Walmart near my house had the movie in the discount DVD rack. I bought 20+ copies for $3 a piece and gave them away for Xmas. Never had such positive feedback for a gift before. I did the same in later years when Way of the Gun was in the discount bin. I bought a bunch of them for $5 and gave them away for Christmas.

It's a great, hilarious movie, but if you look around yourself, it's really not that hard to notice a downward spiral, and it wasn't different back then either. We've been getting dumber and lazier for a long time now. Like they said, the script actually missed some of the biggest, most significant changes in society, like social media and cancel culture. At its core it basically comes down to "dumb people breed, smart people don't", which is obviously true, but it's not a mind-blowing revelation.

[@carlodave9]

Devo nailed it way before and way better than Idiocracy. I love Mike Judge -- he distributed a film of mine when no one was interested -- but he screwed up a wonderful idea. If you can't tell from this interview, he knows it sucks. He should have done a Mel Gibson and paid for it with his own money. As it was, the script wasn't ready, there wasn't enough pre-production, it kind of lurched into production, and he was always behind the corporate 8-ball. The idea was brilliant and deserved way more time and care. As it is, only idiots think Idiocracy is a good film. Life imitates art. As our culture gets dumber, the more it appreciates Idiocracy. It helps morons feel smart. Devo's vision of de-evolution was spot-on and never understood or appreciated by morons.

Whenever people around me are discussing scary movies and they ask what is the scariest movie any of us have ever seen, I always say "Idiocracy".

[@voodooladyink6869]

Same!!!

[@andrewmccombs7347]

What's surprising is just how many people haven't seen it. I mean, it's pretty much become mainstream as a "cult classic" like Rocky Horror or Dungeons and Dragons (the game), but people just don't feel like it's worth watching. Instead, they stream reality shows about a bunch of disgusting sluts who work on a boat. But of course... the idiots make those big mediocre bucks. Imagine watching a moviue that's basically about how dumb you personally are. Would you watch that? I might, since I am personally aware of how dumb I am, but others aren't that aware and so to them it would be an insult. Never ever call a woman who had an abortion a baby killer. It's true, but since they are the Breeders of society, we have to pretend like it's not.

[@BlazRa]

It is a funny movie but at the same time it is very scary when everyone around you is stupid that's the reason why third world Nations suck because the average IQ is severely low so there's a bunch of dumb people doing dumb things Stupid people are more dangerous for everyone involved than evil people because evil people are just pursuing their own Ambitions and goals

When I was in 8th grade on our summer trip for school we went to the capital in Austin and we all got to meet Mike and the crew they were there at some building making a scene for the movie and the set was amazing it looked like a library that was abandoned 100s of years ago it was so cool to see in person how some of the movie was made.. Mike was a awesome person and took pictures with us and answered some questions about whatever all of us young kids were bugging him about lol not to mention we all loved him because of Beavis and Butthead!! It was like meeting your super hero lol!!
