No, it was a horrific documentary on day 1. When people share your political alignment, you're more inclined to believe those people are smart because you're emotionally motivated to conflate the positive feeling of belonging with the comforting feeling of being right. But if you pay attention to how your friends justify their positions, you'll realize how often your friends are going with the flow rather than actually thinking. I mean, we elected George W. Bush because people wanted to have A BEER with him. That was literally a talking point among voters. The only reason people are wising up to how fucked we are... is because the political discourse is so toxic that both sides are becoming aware of how absurd this all is. But with a 2-party system where both sides cling to power by sabotaging viable alternatives (hence Biden winning the primary despite the vast majority of liberals hating his guts, and conservative politicians all backing Trump over DeSantis despite many conservative voters jumping ship), we're forever going to have a hard time de-radicalizing public discourse.
The sad thing is that President Camacho is legit a better leader than some I could name. Dude brought in the smartest person around to address their problems. Yeah, things went south for a bit, but when presented with evidence that Not Sure was right, Camacho admitted it and put him in a position of power because he was the right person for the job.
Yeah, while its an idiocracy... the majority of the people and smartest of the stupid are actually pretty benign and not that bad... just low IQ. We'd be lucky if that was our future really.
@thecaptainfubar - If you're referring to President Camacho being a “legit better” leader than Trump...I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Dumba**, Grandpa, Boomer Biden is WORSE than Trump. And, NO...I DON’T like Trump. I DESPISE BOTH MEN. I also HATE The Democrat and Republican Parties. And, I NEVER VOTED for either man.
That's what leaders actually are, they aren't about know how to solve everything himself. But he recognizes talented people who he puts in position to fix things.
@@TheRealMirCat The real wildest part is it's ALL for show, keep the people looking over here while they're busy over there.....slight of hand, to the extreme!
One of the many things I love about this movie is how random the fanbase is. I have a Brawndo t-shirt and a couple years ago I went into a Costco wearing the shirt and the Greater (had to be in his mid-60's) greeted me with a "Welcome to Costco, I love you."
In the movie they think water is a pollutant, much like idiots today have been conned into thinking C02 (plant food) is a pollutant, what a sick world we live in
what's truly scary is the number of people in these comments uncritically accepting eugenicist fallacies like "dumb people out-reproducing smart people leads to a dumb population". we've been there before in the darkest moments of history.
When Fox saw what this movie ended up being, they pulled the funding and refused to market it. The VFX were never finished. The companies that had agreed to lend their names to it also were horrified with how they were used.
@@l34CoNCreepy I mean, on the one hand, they clearly were disparaging Carl’s Jr. On the other hand… god help me… if they were to ACTUALLY start offering “BIG ASS FRIES!!!” I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from trying them, at least once.
@@l34CoNCreepy Well, once you grant licensing rights, unless the contract is violated, you usually can't change your mind after the fact just because you didn't like what they did with it.
Dax Shepard really gets overlooked in one of his best performances here because everyone gets caught up in the relevant commentary and brilliant script, as well as Luke Wilson being peak Luke Wilson.
I, too, had heard about Idiocracy ..... and that it was some subversive genius thing . So, I rented it, and watched for 15 minutes thinking it the stupidest juvenile comedy ever and that I wasted 2 bucks ! Then, I realised it was intended as a satire, and enj0yed the rest . THEN .....try p ca,e along . AHHHHHH !,! ,!
Fun fact: the shoes in the film are crocs. The costume designer found the shoes through a startup, thoight they looked way to ridiculous to not use and then the company blew up.
Fun fact: Most of the voices of the machines that talk to people, like the Carl's Jr. ordering device at 7:20 is none other than the voice actor for SpongeBob (Tom Kenny)
When I first watched this, I considered it the most terrifying movie I had ever seen. I felt that many of the things being shown would come true, possibly even in my lifetime. Turns out, I underestimated my fellow man and it took less than a generation. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie and it's hilarious, but it's still the scariest film I've ever seen.
@@thedukeofnuts I've got bad news for you my dude. Look up the stats on plastic recycling. 90% of the plastic that gets put in recycling bins ends up in landfills just as though you had thrown it in the normal trash. Most varieties of plastic can't be economically recycled because the process is too expensive and it degrades the plastic too much so you can't make anything useful out of it.
My nephew's favourite drink is Prime. I asked why and he said, "It's good for you. It has electrolytes." I automatically thought of Brawndo and this movie. We're nearly there.
That scene where the "cabinet" is arguing Brawndo vs. water is a classic. I can't tell you how many arguments I've gotten into over the years that are just like, "It's got electrolytes," lol.
@@DeHerg It was. But that study was in the 1980s. Since then there's been more research, and now we're dealing with the "reverse Flynn effect". Alas, I'm not joking. Look it up.
@Steven Sauer I know of that, but that effect is overall not even an effective decrease in intelligence. It's more that the linear difficulty increase of those tests to compensate for the FE does not correlate with the real effective increase. Meaning it's either an oscillation problem or it points to a more long-term plateau. I didn't mention that part because I thought the possible long term nonlinearity of the FE would overcomplicate the issue for the purpose of this comment section.
I was lucky enough to have been able to see this in a theater because it was not widely distributed. Also, for a while, there was also a company that made a Brawndo energy drink and made some commercials. Highly recommend watching them.
I knew a girl who refused to drink water. She was perfectly fine the entire time I knew her and then suddenly in her 30s she collapsed and ended up in the hospital. She caused kidney damage, and her doctor warned her either she starts drinking water or she would die or need a transplant. Last time I talked to her, she only drank water with flavor powder packets put in it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My ex hated water. She was complaining about her weight and I suggested drinking a glass of water before every meal and she went apocalyptic on my ass. I mean, yes it was mean but I was trying to be helpful because I read by doing that helps to eat less by making you a little full and water is usually a good thing in general. I later found out her hate was because she drank tons of water in the army because they were strict on the liquids you consume. Holy hell the fight was epic though.
I love this film but it is also surprisingly very accurate. None of my college friends have kids, everyone else I know that barely graduated high school had kids at a young age and now those kids are already having kids of their own. 😭
Mike judge was the guy leading the presentation btw… He even said a year or two ago (paraphrasing) “it wasn’t supposed to be a documentary, but here we are”
"so good, really funny, and sad... And SO frustrating" -- maybe the best short description of this movie I've ever heard. One of the best modern satires. Great reaction y'all.
Idiocracy was a highly underrated movie. It didn't help that distribution of the film to theaters was gimped on. The film had digital track and shipped to theaters with mono analog sound. I worked at a theaters as a projectionist during its run. It was under advertised and relegated to the smallest auditorium on release. In our 24 screen theater, it lasted only 2-3 weeks before getting delisted.
I am so glad you guys finally watched this. This is one of my favorite movies and the fact that Mike Judge hit the nail on the head with how accurate it is from like 20 years ago is staggering. I recently watched the interview with him on Joe Rogan and he talked about how miserable this movie was to make from budgeting to scheduling everything. The other hilarious thing he mentioned was the wardrobe designer telling him about these new plastic shoes that were terrible and perfect for the movie as there was no way they would ever get traction but looking at how popular Crocs became, he was astonished that people actually want to buy them... lol As far as foreshadowing the future goes, another one that was spot on and actually got the year right was the show "the last man on earth". Its about a pandemic that wipes out the entire population of the planet and he is the last one left. The timing was 100% correct for when it was set and when covid started spreading considering it was aired first in like 2015.
Excellent choice and reaction - that movie is definitely prophetic, the direction we're going. Not just commercialism, but degradation of language, social norms, etc is happening all over. Some say it goes in cycles, but it seems we're on the slippery slide down from now on! Enjoy the ride! :)
This ended up being a true story. Hulk Hogan, at the Republican convention, re-created the speech given by Terry Crews. It was eerie how similar it was and we ended up getting even closer to idiocracy with the result of our election.
I come to you from the future (Aug 15 2024) Hulk Hogan was at a presidential rally. and Crocs which were chosen because "who would wear these?" are super popular.
I haven't watched this reaction yet but this is one of my fav films of all time. The first time I saw it, I thought it was only okay but it gets better with every viewing. You by-pass the dated 90s style humor in the beginning and then you get to the real good stuff.
Back when the movie came out, I was absolutely convinced, that those first ten minutes are just the truth and nothing else and humanity will go down like that. Was I wrong? I mean, we are getting there.
@@DeHerg That's starting to reverse a bit though. Modern projections are that young people now will be the first generation in a while to have a lower IQ than the one preceding them. I don't want to say it's because Tik Tok is a an IQ vampire but...
@Tchikedy you personally? No. Moreso the fact that whenever this movie is just mentioned, there is a flood of people proclaiming it to be the prophecy that came true, despite the fact that reality is the polar opposite (flynn effect).
I would say this is the most prophetic film ever made. Most of what was presented here has, or is becoming a reality right now. I can´t wait for part II !
"he sounded pompous and faggy to them" This reminds me of community college when my classmates got passive aggressive with me because I got good test scores.
The suffix "-cracy" means "rule of". So democracy is the rule of the people, idiocracy is the rule of the idiots. Also, for things that the movie predicted: The most infamous one is probably that a certain former Reality TV star who had dabbled in Wrestling became US president.
Hi Cinebinge! I've been watching your content since I found your Turning Red Reaction a year ago. You quickly became one of my favourite Channel's for your Sincere Thoughts and general Appreciation of Cinema. I always loved (and still do love) George's measured analysis on what you watch, and Simone is Goofy but sharp. You two have carried me through the past year after I get home from my shifts, and I just wanted to let you know how cool you are. Alot of react channels feel predatory and self-serving, or over-react to the point of Disingenuousness (that word looks strange written out) but when you watch a film, you give it the credit it's due and are respectful throughout. Also, I watch all my stuff on the Playstation UA-cam app, so I can't Subscribe on my PSN account, I had to download the UA-cam app on my phone to leave this comment! Thanks again for the content! You guys rock. P.S. you watched "The Raid" about 5 months ago (approx) and it was awesome. It's one of my favourite action movies and Indonesian cinema is an absolute delight. Please Please PLEASE watch "The Raid 2: Berandal", as it's the same Polished Quality of the Original with a better, more intricate and interesting plot, aswell as a Fight Scene in a Prison Yard that I really want George to see. Even if you don't react too it, thanks again for all you do and I'll be watching your channel for a long time ☺️
When u guys were watching alita battle angel, and Simone said, “upgrade” when she found the URM body, I lost it 😂😂😂. I was like, “they have to watch idiocracy!” Read my mind👍
- I think that Beef Supreme is played by the third Wilson brother. -- I genuinely find Joe's speech at Rehabilitation moving. - Can't say enough about how funny this movie is. Easy rewatch. VERY quotable. "What IS an electrolyte?!! DO'YA EVEN KNOW?!?!" - Fox News should HIRE the anchor from this movie. His cadence is on point. -- I'd like to think that if this had a sequel, or were made into a show, there would be an underground of secretly "smart" people in hiding, or hiding in plain site, and that Joe inspires them to come out of the darkness.
@@helvete_ingres4717 cool, and you're acting like an arrogant tool with nothing better to do than be obnoxious in the comments section. Who cares if it's a common response? Why are you jumping on your high horse about it? There's nothing more cringey than pompous retorts like this.
"You might as well just fuckin do it." I don't know if I've EVER heard her use a curse worse on this channel before.... Edit: Nevermind, I remember she does say "holy shit" a lot. But most of the time, I imagine her with the Canadian "jeepers" and "golly" and stuff.
The person in charge of costumes for this movie was asked to find a pair of shoes that only a planet of idiots would wear, with a tight budget they turned to little start up companies with little to no notoriety coming across the crocs and now we have a huge portion of the population that see them as good shoes. life works in funny ways sometimes haha
14:15 - Dude on the right, who says, "He won a contest and got to be a cabinet member" is Michael Bolton from Office Space (another of Mike Judge's projects). You know, I'm not going to lie, given Idiocracy and Office Space, and Beavis and Butthead Do America, I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a King of the HIll movie.
The TV streaming and ads predate Idiocracy because George Orwell wrote about similar personalised advertising and television in his novel 1984 which was written in 1949.
Omg finally lol. There's a shortage of reactions to this movie on for some reason. The cast is all hilarious especially Dax shepherd. So hard to quote this movie when it's still a bit of a cult classic. People are always like oh it's so true and it's prophetic but it's really just funny as hell. The names get me everytime. Beef Supreme, frito penedjo and of course Dwayne Herbert elizondo mountain dew Camacho.
Mike Judge said he had everyone wear Crocs because it was the dumbest shoe a person could wear. At the time they were still being marketed as a comfortable boating shoe. Now they're everywhere.
My guy... did Fuddruckers never make its way to Canada??? It was a VERY REAL chain of restaurants. It was the favorite place for my aunt and uncle to take me when I was a kid (I think mainly my uncle's favorite place).
Used to be at least one in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Drove by it fairly regularly. Went to one of the most fun birthday parties ever there as a kid. Replaced ages ago now.
Which prediction from this movie do you think will come true next?
A reality TV show host as american president. Granted, that might be a bit far fetched.
Educated people not having children.
Former pro-wrestler becoming President (the Rock).
All of them. It's prophetic 😂
"Welcome to Costco. I love you" will be next :D All of this is coming true though. Also, if you haven't seen WALL-E yet, you must! Pretty much takes place in the same universe

"We don't need to blur that - it has no defined ridges!?!?!!!!"
What a world 😂
that is some very special knowledge to have. i wonder what their dreams are like.
A corporation buying out the FDA, sounds familiar somehow.
Back when the movie came out, I was absolutely convinced, that those first ten minutes are just the truth and nothing else and humanity will go down like that.
Was I wrong? I mean, we are getting there.
No we are not. Look up actual IQ statistics over time!
@@DeHerg I'm sorry, I must have offended you personally 😉
@@DeHerg That's starting to reverse a bit though. Modern projections are that young people now will be the first generation in a while to have a lower IQ than the one preceding them.
I don't want to say it's because Tik Tok is a an IQ vampire but...
@Tchikedy you personally? No. Moreso the fact that whenever this movie is just mentioned, there is a flood of people proclaiming it to be the prophecy that came true, despite the fact that reality is the polar opposite (flynn effect).
wislon effect > flynn effect. flynn effect is statistical, no gains in g@@DeHerg
I would say this is the most prophetic film ever made. Most of what was presented here has, or is becoming a reality right now. I can´t wait for part II !
To me, this is the SCARIEST movie ever, it keeps becoming closer and closer to coming true.
Wait, I've seen this movie a shitton of times and I've never seen that scene with Upgrayeddd at the end.
Extended cut.
After credit sceen. I always see it.
"he sounded pompous and faggy to them"
This reminds me of community college when my classmates got passive aggressive with me because I got good test scores.
Thanks to this movie anything I see with electrolytes elicits a "It's got what plants crave" every time.
Throw down that little hand gesture when you say it too
One of my favorite films. I've had lawyers like that, but I never needed a lawyer, really.
When I saw it first I laughed, now I'm weeping! WE ARE HERE!
It was so great watching your reaction 😂😂😂
Greatest documentary ever made. 😊
This movie isn't a comedy, it's a documentary and we should all be terrified
That thumbnail looks like one of the backdrops of an old pinball machine. Lol I love it.
The suffix "-cracy" means "rule of". So democracy is the rule of the people, idiocracy is the rule of the idiots.
Also, for things that the movie predicted: The most infamous one is probably that a certain former Reality TV star who had dabbled in Wrestling became US president.
Trump is the only President in the WWE Hall of Fame...
@@ic5319 For now...
Ronald Raegan was a movie star before he was president.
My favorite documentary.
Have there been talks about Cinebinge watching Black Mirror at all?
Hi Cinebinge!
I've been watching your content since I found your Turning Red Reaction a year ago.
You quickly became one of my favourite Channel's for your Sincere Thoughts and general Appreciation of Cinema.
I always loved (and still do love) George's measured analysis on what you watch, and Simone is Goofy but sharp.
You two have carried me through the past year after I get home from my shifts, and I just wanted to let you know how cool you are.
Alot of react channels feel predatory and self-serving, or over-react to the point of Disingenuousness (that word looks strange written out) but when you watch a film, you give it the credit it's due and are respectful throughout.
Also, I watch all my stuff on the Playstation UA-cam app, so I can't Subscribe on my PSN account, I had to download the UA-cam app on my phone to leave this comment!
Thanks again for the content!
You guys rock.
P.S. you watched "The Raid" about 5 months ago (approx) and it was awesome. It's one of my favourite action movies and Indonesian cinema is an absolute delight. Please Please PLEASE watch "The Raid 2: Berandal", as it's the same Polished Quality of the Original with a better, more intricate and interesting plot, aswell as a Fight Scene in a Prison Yard that I really want George to see.
Even if you don't react too it, thanks again for all you do and I'll be watching your channel for a long time ☺️
When u guys were watching alita battle angel, and Simone said, “upgrade” when she found the URM body, I lost it 😂😂😂. I was like, “they have to watch idiocracy!” Read my mind👍
This is probably my favourite movie ever. Mike Judge is awesome.
- I think that Beef Supreme is played by the third Wilson brother. -- I genuinely find Joe's speech at Rehabilitation moving.
- Can't say enough about how funny this movie is. Easy rewatch. VERY quotable. "What IS an electrolyte?!! DO'YA EVEN KNOW?!?!"
- Fox News should HIRE the anchor from this movie. His cadence is on point. -- I'd like to think that if this had a sequel, or were made into a show, there would be an underground of secretly "smart" people in hiding, or hiding in plain site, and that Joe inspires them to come out of the darkness.
1:30am here in far north QLD but had to stay up for this... SOOOO glad you guys reacted to this! Thanks for that
Perfect movie to describe modern humanity. We’re not evolving. We’re regressing.
Mostly america though lol.
@@CyberBeep_kenshi most of the world actually ...
you must be very very smart for regurgitating a variation on the same comment as every other pseud who saw this movie
@@helvete_ingres4717 cool, and you're acting like an arrogant tool with nothing better to do than be obnoxious in the comments section. Who cares if it's a common response? Why are you jumping on your high horse about it? There's nothing more cringey than pompous retorts like this.
@@carolpulma2734 Rwanda disagrees
"You might as well just fuckin do it."
I don't know if I've EVER heard her use a curse worse on this channel before....
Edit: Nevermind, I remember she does say "holy shit" a lot. But most of the time, I imagine her with the Canadian "jeepers" and "golly" and stuff.
The person in charge of costumes for this movie was asked to find a pair of shoes that only a planet of idiots would wear, with a tight budget they turned to little start up companies with little to no notoriety coming across the crocs and now we have a huge portion of the population that see them as good shoes. life works in funny ways sometimes haha
14:15 - Dude on the right, who says, "He won a contest and got to be a cabinet member" is Michael Bolton from Office Space (another of Mike Judge's projects). You know, I'm not going to lie, given Idiocracy and Office Space, and Beavis and Butthead Do America, I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a King of the HIll movie.
I love this movie.
It's got electrolytes!
Like a Bantha!
It's got what audiences crave!
I'm glad you guys enjoyed this as much as you did, it's one of my favorites and it seems to just get better with age.
The only comedy in history to become a documentary.
The TV streaming and ads predate Idiocracy because George Orwell wrote about similar personalised advertising and television in his novel 1984 which was written in 1949.
Omg finally lol. There's a shortage of reactions to this movie on for some reason.
The cast is all hilarious especially Dax shepherd. So hard to quote this movie when it's still a bit of a cult classic. People are always like oh it's so true and it's prophetic but it's really just funny as hell.
The names get me everytime. Beef Supreme, frito penedjo and of course Dwayne Herbert elizondo mountain dew Camacho.
This movie is like Wall-E if everybody stayed on earth and technology didn't evolve 😆
One of my favourite films...And introducing CROCS to the world.
Mike Judge said he had everyone wear Crocs because it was the dumbest shoe a person could wear. At the time they were still being marketed as a comfortable boating shoe. Now they're everywhere.
This movie was buried by the studio because of the companies hating how their logos were used after they gave permission.
Good men of business tend to be bad sports. 🧐
I was excited for it to come out and I loved it from my first watch.
Mike Judge knows what he's doing.
Mike Judge predicted social media.
My guy... did Fuddruckers never make its way to Canada??? It was a VERY REAL chain of restaurants. It was the favorite place for my aunt and uncle to take me when I was a kid (I think mainly my uncle's favorite place).
Fuddrucker's website lists one Canadian restaurant...located in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Used to be at least one in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Drove by it fairly regularly. Went to one of the most fun birthday parties ever there as a kid. Replaced ages ago now.
I quote this movie at least twice a week 😂
"The garbage thing is a bit concerning..." (drinks from plastic bottle)
I'd hate to oversell it but, it's literally the best movie ever made by anyone ever in the history of cinema
Great reaction! Brought to you by Carl's Jr.
