Idiocracy and Team America: Two Classic Comedies That Hit Close To Home

When Idiocracy and Team America: World Police came out in 2006 and 2004, no one would have ever expected how prescient both films would turn out to be. Of the two, Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s Team America probably had the quickest impact, as it satirized global events that were taking place at the time, making it a lightning rod for controversy. However, it was also a pretty big box office hit. However, Mike Judge’s Idiocracy ended up buried by its home studio, 20th Century Fox (now owned by Disney), with it essentially going direct-to-DVD. Yet, in the years following its release, it picked up a major cult following due to how it predicted certain things that would eventually come to pass. In this compilation of two of our most popular episodes of WTF Happened to this Movie, we take a look at two cult classics that have stood the test of time for reasons no one could have predicted back then.

Do you really think they got offended and thats why they sabotaged the movie's release? Fuk no , even if they did , theres no place for feelings in big businesses. But their big affiliates did and pulled out and more were about to do the same , probably...Thats why they tried to bury the movie , nevermind that the director replaced all of the big franchises and their logo's' uniforms etc....yet they still decided to bury it out of fear. PS : Except Costco...they dont give a fuk , it seems.

Mike Judge has produced some of the most important movies and shows in cinematic and television history. Prophetic, prescient, and glued to the pulse of society and culture. This guy has whispered inevitability into everybody who would watch and listen and by now, most of those have resigned themselves to his doomful visions. And he's humble about it because any asshole should be able to tell how bad things were getting.

Oh wow, this has been so helpful! I was finally able to put together the pieces that indicate I have been the victim of a Mandela Effect wormhole several years ago. I was growing more and more anxious as to why my recollections seemed to be wildly inaccurate. I was close to considering an intense course of theraputic analysis to attempt to identify the source of my psychosis. You see, in the real world (I suppose I should get used to calling it the other world) Idiocracy was a slapstick success. Not as a cautionary tale, but as a satire on doomsayers who could ever declare that such foolishness might be the fate of humanity. In this world, I suspect the film suffered because of the anxiety audiences felt in finding the movie hilarious, but specifically for reasons the film was clealy mocking. I can note one commonality between our two worlds. Apparently in both director Judge was approached concerning the feasibility of a sequel. And in both of them he replied "I don't see the point". However, I think we can see a subtle distinction.

During the SAG strike last year, all i could think about was the Film Actors Guild. Which made me unable to take them seriously. lol Team America is so damn spot on about how egotistical and self important Celebrities are. And that was before 2016, when they completely went off the rails. Now you can't follow any of them on social media without getting a dumb political take.

Its funny that nowadays most popular films and shows are circling on real life jobs like Clerks, Paul Blart Mall Cop, Police Academy, Platoon and mostly on the TV series department like The Office, House, Bones, Law & Order, Night Court, CIS / NCIS, 911, Chicago Fire, Grey's Anatomy and more but back then people hated it when Office Space hit the theaters.
