Joe, being of average intelligence didnt realize his audience. If it was me I would’ve posed my case on taking a nap and the army made me sleep through 500 years and my bed is in Rico’s apartment so the army should pay my bill.
That's why Maya Rudolph's character was so great. She had street smarts and figured out exactly how to take advantage of their stupidity in about 2 minutes of being there.
This movie is an actual masterpiece. Everyone kills their role and they really paid attention to the smallest little details making this truly a world of idiocracy. Many of which details most people miss.
He can remember that Not Sure interrupted his daily viewing of the hit television show “Ow! My balls!” But not that he was supposed to be a lawyer? Damn, this dude has his priorities straight.
In all honesty, where did the inspiration for this movie come from? It came from real people in 2005. There were really dumb people back then, and there are really dumb people now. The concerning thing is they grow in numbers and they increasingly get to think they're right, and facts and truth are confused with opinions, and it's beginning to shape our politics. There have always been morons, but society used to shut them up and let the smart people talk. Now we let the dumb people believe they know better than the smart people.
I remember in high school people thought I was gay because I didn't have a regional accent, and used big boy words. Life is cruel, I understand Joe's struggle, this movie gets better and better as time moves on. 10/10 "Guilty!😎 Peace.."
Lol, it's not insane. There were plenty of stupid people in 2005. This movie was scary as soon as it came out, because you already knew people like this the first time you watched it. The 2000s were not a smart decade. BUT, social media has made things much worse, because now stupid people all gather in the same places and validate each other's stupid ideas. And that is new. But trust me, definitely wasn't hard to find a dumbfuck in 2005.
Me, in 2006 watching it for the first time thinking "Holy shit I already know so many people like this!" But now the stupid people are more empowered and they find each other easily. Thanks Facebook!
Lol, the thing about boomers is they were already adults when this movie was made, and knew people were already stupid in 2005. I'm an older millenial and I was already in my early 20s when this came out. There were a lot of idiots in 2005. We all know that, we remember that. It's younger people thinking Mike Judge had to time travel or be nostradamus to make this movie. No, just talk to enough people in 2005 and you'd meet these characters. It wasn't hard. I will say that social media really allowed all the dumb people to validate each other's opinions though, and that they're imposing their stupidity on the rest of society like never before.
The beauty of this movie is they make fun of every kind of accent, every stupid idea, every kind of stupid person. Because they come in a lot of different forms. Judge is a dumb person from Louisiana, prosecutor is a dumb person from California, Arizona or New Mexico.
Tired: "This movie predicted the future! We're living in Idiocracy 2 right now, and everyone around me and my political opponents are the stupid ones!" Wired: This movie is about all of the people who say things like that, while too stupid to realize they have more in common with the court audience than the main character.
It’s not just people who say that it’s everyone except them, but yes. It legitimately is about stupid people but it’s often the case that people who say this are also stupid.
Man thank you lmao. The pretentious comments for this movie really irritate the fuck out of me. Just fucking watch it it’s hilarious, it’s not some fucking prophecy and Judge even admitted that he didn’t “see the future” or whatever all these dickheads say all the time
you guys are asinine for calling out people for reassuring the exact statistical trend that inspired judge to make these themed films in the first place. judge literally claimed that his statistics background inspired some of the concepts here, nobody is claiming that he is prophetic.
This is how arguing on twitter feels. You can be called an idiot and nobody explains why. When you try to prove something people say "who hurt you" or "cope" or something like that. People automatically assume on who's side you are (i hate this so much like can't i have my own opinion?) That's annoying.
