The director and costume designer were looking for future shoes that nobody in their right minds would ever wear in real life and they found a company that made Crocs. 😅
When i was in high school they made some shoes kind of like crocs but not so large and stout. They were called jellies and they were cheap and basically for lower income people. Although briefly they were kind of a fad.
The first time I ever saw crocs was at the county jail. It's what they gave inmates to wear. I laughed my damn ass off when I started seeing the public wearing them.
My friend showed me this movie right after it came out. He thought it was hilarious. So did I, but I also thought it was the scariest movie I've seen in my life. I still stand by that. As it becomes more and more true every day

Being uninformed, illiterate, irrational, and talking like an idiot IS the new normal. All you have to do to be smarter than everyone is simply to try. It doesn't take much.

This was one of the most accurate depictions of future society I’ve ever witnessed in a movie. People walk around or sit at home with their heads buried in a screen; communicating with others than those whom they’re with. People think their opinions are the only right ones.

@@TechNextLetsGo I mean it's definitely just bad. My concern is with children not developing proper communication skills because they're just staring at screens rather than interacting with people. 2020 was a rough one because they literally couldn't do it at all for a couple of years and that definitely hurt development for a lot of kids.
Terry Crews is just hilarious. He could be bald, have hair down to his ankles, even be unconscious - it doesn't matter. Dude is funny as hell and he's super down to earth and kind.

Hell Idiocracy is actually a pretty benign future compared to where we're heading, their stupid but they aren't actively malicious... reality is going to be worse than this 'prophecy'.
its basically been an unintentional documentary since it was made, its just never been more self-evident, and every year (at least, in north america) it just get closer and closer to the movie, especially the initial premise of the low intelligence people simply outbreeding the intelligent people, and again this has always been true, but because of factors like the ever worsening economy via greed, and the effects and fears of global warming, and many other issues the more intelligent people in society are simply more hesitant about having kids in the first place.

This is just a cautionary tale that because time passes, things don't necessarily improve. We can't even make Roman Cement. Romans made roads that have lasted so long that they are still used TODAY, nearly 2,000 years later. Today, we can't make a highway last 5 years!
I agree with your point. The short term nature of our building standards are by design , advanced geopolymers have been purposely kept secret by certain organisations.
The key to making Roman cement is mixing it with salt water instead of fresh.... ironically the oposite of the solution to the crop crisis in Idiocracy, since salt is one of the sources of the electrolytes in energy drinks.
People did in fact figure out roman concrete, and it is not necessarily better. The largest reason things are not built for extreme longevity is not because it cant be done but because it is not financially or labor efficient. It is far more expensive, uses harder to find materials, and takes far longer to build. Most of which is not something that is needed for the average person or often it had properties that also make it unsustainable. This of course does not account for planned obsolescence that many tech companies use for their products, but again, that is by design so that they make more money from consumers having to buy their product more often. This does not mean the tech company can't do it or doe not know how to, but chooses not too. There is a big difference.
@@sumotode Also people seem to not realize this, but "Roman cement" may have lasted nearly 2,000 years and our current cement lasts like, 20-40 tops - but Roman cement didn't have cars and trucks and road salt and plows constantly going year after year. While one can argue that our standards are better these days for building things (well, depends where in the world you are I guess and who's doing the differentiation of course), roads and bridges and what not get used WAY more than even 100 years ago, let alone 2,000 years ago.

Terry Crews playing Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, did a series of videos last year as if he was running for president in the last election, pretty funny stuff
My favorite line in this whole movie is “Who’s smart now?!” It was right after they crushed the back of the car. It was in background so I think a lot of people don’t hear it in the first watch, but it always makes me cackle every time I hear it. They were so proud of themselves😂 30:57

The guy with the PowerPoint presentation on Upgrayyed is Mike Judge. The Writer / Director. He also made Office Space, another big cult classic. A smarter film about people working in cubicles. I think you'd really like Office Space if you haven't reacted to it already.
That wasn't Mike Judge. Mike Judge only did an uncredited voice role in Idiocracy, I believe he did the voice of the IQ test machine. I always thought he also did the announcer during the rehabilitation scene, but apparently not (Mike Judge is fluent in Spanish and has a distinct accent that sounds like it's from Spain or Mexico etc.).

This was filmed around my home town! I went to college with the girl who played the hospital clerk when Luke Wilson's character first came in
This is just a cautionary tale that because time passes, things don't necessarily improve. We can't even make Roman Cement. Romans made roads that have lasted so long that they are still used TODAY, nearly 2,000 years later. Today, we can't make a highway last 5 years!
We've actually solved that one in the last couple years... but the point is fairly valid.
I agree with your point. The short term nature of our building standards are by design , advanced geopolymers have been purposely kept secret by certain organisations.
The key to making Roman cement is mixing it with salt water instead of fresh.... ironically the oposite of the solution to the crop crisis in Idiocracy, since salt is one of the sources of the electrolytes in energy drinks.
People did in fact figure out roman concrete, and it is not necessarily better. The largest reason things are not built for extreme longevity is not because it cant be done but because it is not financially or labor efficient. It is far more expensive, uses harder to find materials, and takes far longer to build. Most of which is not something that is needed for the average person or often it had properties that also make it unsustainable.
This of course does not account for planned obsolescence that many tech companies use for their products, but again, that is by design so that they make more money from consumers having to buy their product more often. This does not mean the tech company can't do it or doe not know how to, but chooses not too. There is a big difference.
@@sumotode Also people seem to not realize this, but "Roman cement" may have lasted nearly 2,000 years and our current cement lasts like, 20-40 tops - but Roman cement didn't have cars and trucks and road salt and plows constantly going year after year. While one can argue that our standards are better these days for building things (well, depends where in the world you are I guess and who's doing the differentiation of course), roads and bridges and what not get used WAY more than even 100 years ago, let alone 2,000 years ago.
A great reaction to to this well observed comedy, Jen.
This movie is so old news .
We have left Idiocracy waaaaay behind for a good 10 years now !
Next week, it's back.

@@aredub1847 You beat me to it!
It's great to see more and more UA-camrs react to this incredibly realistic and most important documentary of the recent years.
This movie was actually a documentary for the times we live now💯
wow , you're so smart you made the same comment everyone else in this thread did.
go drink your brawndo
When the alarms go off in the Costco, look at all the TV screens around him.
They all show a wanted poster that lists off all the reasons Joe is wanted for and they are hilarious.
You're right, this is a movie I have seen several times, it's always funny and I always notice something new in the background.
iv been sayting for YEARS that this is terrifyingly close to a documentary. i didnt realise it would happen so fast though
wow , you're so smart you made the same comment everyone else in this thread did.

"Way things could go?" - We're already there, Jen!
This movie gets harder and harder to watch each year with how things are going here in the US but it's still great!
it really does become less funny and more sad with every year that goes by...
So true.
For real. Welcome back old friends measles and polio
The new reading/age comparison level alone is terrifying. these people won't know 💩
Ow my balls
Terry Crews playing Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, did a series of videos last year as if he was running for president in the last election, pretty funny stuff
Thanks for the virtual date. Here is your popcorn money😂
Thank you! ☺️👍
I'm so happy you reacted to this thank you!❤
This is NOT satire. This is NOT comedy. This was a prophecy. We are THERE NOW.

@@frankiebrahwhy are you rolling your eyes? It’s true.. we aren’t far off from this movie lol

31:21 Rita to Frito: “Can you get me over there?
Your ponytail game is way above average, Jen
My favorite line in this whole movie is “Who’s smart now?!” It was right after they crushed the back of the car. It was in background so I think a lot of people don’t hear it in the first watch, but it always makes me cackle every time I hear it. They were so proud of themselves😂 30:57
We are about 24 hours away from it.
This was a lot of fun! Thanks for the above average wheezefest🥰
It was a warning that no one headed
Did you spell heeded wrong on purpose for the sake of this movie? If not, your comment is a bit ironic.
@alswearengen6427 :)
@alswearengen6427 spelling has no baring on IQ...Tesla couldn't spell ....there are plenty of morons out there that can spell and plenty of geniuses that can't ...don't go judging books
When this movie came out, i didnt like it that much, but watching it years later, Its seems to be more entertaining and meaningfull in todays world, Its a movie everyone should see once
For the first time in a while, I’m having a good day and seeing Jen post a new reaction just makes it even better 🔥
Thank you for watching the very important documentary, “Idiocracy”
Man, this was the most depressing movie I've ever seen in my entire life... Schindler List is not even close 😭
"Oh no! It's not Upgrayedd is it?"
I'm literally Dyin!!!🤣😂❤️❤️
Another great reaction, and yes, this Film is starting to seem too prophetic!!
I was soo dumb, I actually believed in the time machine too.
Oh yes love this movie happy to watch with you. Jen you are not average ever.
Life is imitating art 😂 Idiocracy was a masterpiece movie with many awesome unforgettable scenes and dialogue. I liked the doctor and the lawyer the best 😂
This makes me happy and sad! It's happening now. But at least Jen's grate, cuz sheez got electrolites!
I don't know if there's a connection, but there was a short story called "The Marching Morons" (1951) that proposed this same future for the same reasons. Coinsidunce?
The guy with the PowerPoint presentation on Upgrayyed is Mike Judge. The Writer / Director. He also made Office Space, another big cult classic. A smarter film about people working in cubicles. I think you'd really like Office Space if you haven't reacted to it already.
That wasn't Mike Judge. Mike Judge only did an uncredited voice role in Idiocracy, I believe he did the voice of the IQ test machine. I always thought he also did the announcer during the rehabilitation scene, but apparently not (Mike Judge is fluent in Spanish and has a distinct accent that sounds like it's from Spain or Mexico etc.).
"I'd go for a chai latte" Aaayooo, Jen!
20 years ago this was a comedy... now it's a horror film
