Idiocracy
To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average European-Americans it can find - an Army private and a prostitute - and sends them to the year 2505 after a series of freak events. But when they arrive, they find a civilization so dumbed-down that they're the smartest people around. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →Idiocracy was unrealistic only because we got dumber quicker than the movie anticipated
positive · AI labelView post →The movie "Idiocracy" can't hold a candle to what's happening in real life now...
positive · AI labelView post →That Idiocracy movie didn’t go far enough.
positive · AI labelView post →Idiocracy was meant to be a movie. That’s all.
neutral · AI labelView post →Not sure the movie Idiocracy was meant to be a suggestion but here we are
neutral · AI labelView post →In 2006, the film Idiocracy depicted the White House in a fictional time when the United States was incredibly tacky and stupid. Frankly, they underestimated what the reality of the United States being incredibly tacky and stupid would really look like.
positive · AI labelView post →Attorney. General. Matt. Gaetz. This is like if Idiocracy were a slasher film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Again, Idiocracy was a movie with too optimistic a vision of the future.
positive · AI labelView post →From a nursing group I'm in. People won't get vaccines which have been rigorously tested, but they will take unregulated supplements and peptides. We are truly living in the movie Idiocracy
neutral · AI labelView post →We can't use Idiocracy anymore. America under Trump has surpassed the movie in its ability to be self-destructive and stupid.
positive · AI labelView post →If you saw this in a movie like Idiocracy you’d say the writers went a little too far
neutral · AI labelView post →The thing about the Idiocracy comparisons is: that movie overestimated us. That shit is set in 2505. We got this fucking stupid 479 years ahead of schedule.
positive · AI labelView post →Ok, so I'm finally watching the documentary called Idiocracy. The accuracy of this prophetic film is killing me. 🤣
positive · AI labelView post →Idiocracy was the greatest future-prediction film ever made.
positive · AI labelView post →Have you seen the 2006 movie "Idiocracy"... No need to YOU'RE LIVING IT
neutral · AI labelView post →This is my beef with IDIOCRACY, people don’t give this movie a hard enough time for the pro-eugenics material it contains
negative · AI labelView post →People will be like "Idiocracy was a documentary" but actually it was a 2006 comedy film starring Luke Wilson
neutral · AI labelView post →We can no longer use IDIOCRACY as a reference. The characters in that movie weren't this dumb or self-destructive.
positive · AI labelView post →The movie Idiocracy could not have predicted how low America would go. Unfortunately we're all finding out now.
positive · AI labelView post →For me, the Netflix movie DON'T LOOK UP is the most important film in recent memory. Its dark satire evokes the terrifying absurdity of Dr. Strangelove, Network, and Idiocracy. Scathing, funny, and poignant.
positive · AI labelView post →Yesterday, Donald Trump compared the length of flat, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool – to vertical structures, three skyscrapers. Moreover, the Reflecting Pool was constructed 104 years ago – the only thing Trump did was ordered it to be painted. The film "Idiocracy" has been brought to life.
neutral · AI labelView post →The creator of the movie “Idiocracy” was either from the future or a prophetic visionary.
positive · AI labelView post →If you want to watch something timely watch the film “Idiocracy.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Netflix is now streaming the film 'Idiocracy', which is about a future where America has been dumbed down so much that the elected US President is a complete idiot and has no idea what he's doing. www.netflix.com/watch/70028899
neutral · AI labelView post →Bulwark movie club! Is Idiocracy a documentary? We discuss.
neutral · AI labelView post →has anyone compared our current society to the 2006 Mike Judge film, “Idiocracy”?
neutral · AI labelView post →This isn't like Idiocracy at all, actually. Starting to think a lot of you didn't even watch the movie.
negative · AI labelView post →A story my friend Matt told a bunch is that he saw Idiocracy in theaters, which famously nobody did, and the ticket stub just said “MIKE JUDGE MOVIE”
neutral · AI labelView post →This really is the dumbest timeline. I feel we owe the movie Idiocracy an apology for calling it 'unrealistic'.
positive · AI labelView post →Idiocracy is just straight up eugenics propaganda it also an insanely funny movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Of all modern Sci-Fi Dystopia depicted in movies, which do you think our world will most resemble or already does resemble?. Personally, as is often noted, "Idiocracy" is probably tops for current events... but for the farther future, I'd go Blade Runner Universe, most likely.... just for the sheer scale of total biosphere degradation and megacorp control. How about you?
neutral · AI labelView post →Nice to see that we've traded up from Idiocracy to Canadian Bacon as the movie that explains our current moment.
neutral · AI labelView post →As it turns out, Idiocracy was the greatest and most accurate movie ever made
positive · AI labelView post →[watching Idiocracy in 2007] “this movie is preposterous! I love it!” [watching Idiocracy in 2025] [drinks silently from open bottle of cheap bourbon throughout film]
positive · AI labelView post →Who knew Idiocracy was a film of prophetic proportion? Any day I expect RFK Jr. to announce that electrolytes are good for plants.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is the movie Idiocracy happening in real life.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is a cavalcade of corrupt fucking morons. Calling this IDIOCRACY is an insult to everyone involved in making that film.
neutral · AI labelView post →The film IDIOCRACY should be reclassified as a documentary. And the book 1984 could be reclassified as non-fiction if they change the year.
neutral · AI labelView post →Idiocracy, the movie, wasn’t nearly dumb enough.
negative · AI labelView post →Didn't think the film Idiocracy would become real within my lifetime. What a time to be alive.
neutral · AI labelView post →Idiocracy has its obvious issues but UFC at the white house is another step towards making that movie a documentary
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when Idiocracy was just a kooky crazy movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Straight up taking a page from the movie Idiocracy with "Monday night rehabilitation" but make it Nazi.
neutral · AI labelView post →Makes sense considering Trump’s first term was inspired by the movie Idiocracy
neutral · AI labelView post →In the sense that we're ruled by eugenicists and Idiocracy is a eugenicist movie, sure.
neutral · AI labelView post →Said Matt the-quintessential-ugly-American Whitaker. This could be a scene straight out of the film 'Idiocracy'.
neutral · AI labelView post →I know this is cliche at this point but does anyone remember the TV shows in the movie Idiocracy
neutral · AI labelView post →Why Does So Much New Technology Feel Inspired by Dystopian Sci-Fi Movies?. **The industry keeps echoing ideas from bleak satires and cyberpunk stories as if they were exciting possibilities, not grim warnings.** In a recent article published in the New York Times, author Casey Michael Henry argues that today's tech industry keeps borrowing dystopian sci-fi aesthetics and ideas -- often the parts that were meant as warnings -- and repackages them as exciting products without recognizing that…
neutral · AI labelView post →I know people love citing the movie Idiocracy but imagine if it were much worse than the scenario in that dumb movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Jeezus Christ! I didn’t realize the movie “Idiocracy” was a prelude of things to come. 😳
neutral · AI labelView post →Idiocracy is a horror film now
negative · AI labelView post →We are truly living in the movie Idiocracy.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's been a while since I've seen IDIOCRACY but one crucial difference I seem to recall was that the President in that film was fundamentally benevolent and *trying* to make things better. Unlike our current moment.
neutral · AI labelView post →(guy who's only seen one movie in his life and it was Idiocracy) this is just like Idiocracy
neutral · AI labelView post →More like the movie Idiocracy every day.
neutral · AI labelView post →this is not IDIOCRACY, it is a Pasolini film
neutral · AI labelView post →You couldn't make a movie like Idiocracy today, because it would be a documentary and not a comedy.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you have an exceptional intelligence... You live in IDIOCRACY right now. In the movie average guy has been transported into society of stupids. But if you're genius, you see all the idiocies of modern society, all the stupidity of average Joe, and you have no choice but to play the stupid game of life in accordance with dumb laws that this dumb society managed to create
neutral · AI labelView post →It was accurately displayed in the 2006 movie, Idiocracy, which is now more documentary than fiction.
