In Idiocracy, the society was teetering on the edge of ruin, and the people found the smartest person and put him in charge. The people in the movie were smarter than us.

Idiocracy was an eye-opening documentary.

Office space and Idocricay are 2 movies I can watch over and over. It is a shame he doesn't make more movies, the stories he makes are so unique and relatable.

Idiocracy wasn't a movie, it was a prophecy.

My favorite line from that movie "Water? you mean like from the toilet?" I still use that line if the situation presents itself.

It seems like Mike Judge doesn’t realize just how much we cherish that movie

Judge is an icon. His perception of humanity is incredible. Idiocracy isn't a fictional comedy, it's real life sadly

I was an extra for Idiocracy and it was such a fun experience! I even was able to give Mr. Judge a copy of my comic book I had self-published to him. He was an amazing man and director. Great memories! I miss Austin from time to time.

Idiocracy is a genius-level movie. It doesn't get talked about nearly enough, but over the last year or so I've seen it popping up more and more, which is such a good thing! It's so good!

We didn't have to wait 500 years into the future to live through Idiocracy, we're living it right now

This is no joke: Idiocracy was MASTERFULLY put together. The casting, the script, the acting, the visuals, the production, EVERYTHING. This compliment is not lightly said.

The movie we did not deserve, but it was the movie we needed. God Bless You Mike Judge for making such a fine documentary!!!

The reason he's so cautious about being proud of the movie is that the studio shit all over while it was being made. The problem in test screenings (and in the box office release) is that a lot of dumb people didn't understand the whole thing was satire, they just thought it was an extra dumb movie. That's what he means by "difficult to market."

Saw Idiocracy in 2008 and laughed my ass off at an incredible comedy movie. Saw it again in 2018, and laughed even harder when I realized it was a prophecy. An amazing movie from a comedy genius.

I rented “Idiocracy” from Netflix back when they were still sending DVDs through the mail. I was a huge fan of Mike Judge and couldn’t wait to see the movie. Some reviewer had written something about it being a dystopian black comedy, similar to Woody Allen’s “Sleeper” and that made me want to see it even more. Quiet Sunday afternoon. Bottle of beer. Kicked back on the sofa. Ready to laugh my myself silly. Nothing could prepare me for the absolute horror and utter depression of the soul that was/is “Idiocracy”.

I remember seeing Idiocracy on Showtime back in what must have been early 2007. I just remember being shocked that such a new movie was on Showtime on demand. I was the first person in my group of friends and relatives to have seen it and I was also the one who introduced it to everyone. That was the only time that I found a gem that early on and had the privilege to show it to other people that had no clue what it was. We still quote lines from it to this day, 16 years later.

Mike's responsible for a lot of laughter. I just finished rewatching Office Space tonight. Still one of my all time favorites.

I watched this movie for my first time in Iraq, then I came back to the states and realized how much he nailed it. Spend time away from modern society, when you come back you see the mass hallucination

This movie proved to be a documentary. It’s terrifyingly accurate. One of my all time favorites

Props to Joe for nailing the best use of Crocs - when camping, when you're back in camp for the night and take your hiking boots off.

Mike Judge should never beat himself over low-budget and this and that... The movie is a masterpiece! Couldn't done better, comedy is better & original than any contemporary comedy today and on top of that is weirdly, unexpectedly mystical and deep. You couldn't ask for more! Fantastic, top-notch entertainment!

“It just feels horrible to kill grass” -Confirmed Mike Judge is Hank Hill

I feel his pain. Idiocracy was a movie that had so potential as a premise, and it always felt like it was done with a lackluster budget. What he is saying about his test screening make sense. It was really smart and it's a universe that I would like explored more in depth

Mike, quit the self-deprecating, you're our hero!

As heroic an effort as 1984. This guy's a legend. Comacho, one of the best characters ever.

Mike judge is a legend. Everything he has touched has been gold.

"We seem to be experimenting some techmological differences". One of the best lines

Crocs are actually very popular here in Argentina. Doctors and people who work in the food industry use them due to the amount of hours they have to be standing, they're very comfortable and they have a long lifespan. I've had three pairs in total over the years.

I love Idiocrazy, one of the best documentaries ever made.

I watched it for the first time last week. 1. It's funny af. 2. It was way ahead of its time. 3. It's soooooo accurate.

One of my favorite movies. Mike is good at what he does in part because he is very critical of his own work.

This dude made my childhood awesome! Beavis and Butthead and King of the hill are peak television

I didn't see it in the theatre, but when I saw it on DVD, I thought it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. You always wonder with a comedy how funny it's going to be. It was so well written, and cast, and directed, and acted. It was very well done. Definitely one of the best comedy movies I've ever seen. Feel bad that so many corporations and our government missed that it was satire, and not meant to be used as a blueprint.

Mike judge is unassuming and under rated. The guy is a hidden comic genius.

I love all of his work. Extract is my favorite. What a cast.

I worked at Blockbuster when Idiocracy came out, told everyone to rent it back in 2006. Still one of the funniest movies ever!

"It just feels horrible to kill grass" That's the Hank Hill coming out in him lol

The prison "escape" scene always cracks me up. 🤣

One of my favorite movies. Even when I first watched it years ago, I remember thinking, "this is sorta a possibility the way I see things going. It's exaggerated, but not that far off the mark." And here we are a decade and a half, give or take, later. Sadly, we still seem to be heading in this direction.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

Idiocracy is a masterpiece that gave me the same "What if" feeling that the Matrix gave me. To be honest this film ended up predicting the future in a fairly accurate manner lol.

Mike Judge and Crocs are the best. I wear Crocs almost all summer and sometimes in winter too if it's dry weather.

Mike Judge is the absolute master of making total fun of something while also accurately portraying how it is at the same time.

We all need to thank Mike Judge for the amount of intelligent entertainment that he provided the world. Thanks Mike!!

When I was little, like 6 or 7, my mom showed me movies like Idiocracy and my stepfather showed me stuff like Alex Jones. I feel so grateful to have had a head start on understanding how shitty our world is. Love Mike Judge! King of the Hill revival coming up soon too!

Loved it the first and 100th time. Brilliant and underrated

I’ve watched it 2 or 3 times before. One of my teachers even played it in class once. It’s a great lesson on how society fails.

I saw this movie in theatres when it came out. Shocking how fast this movie became prophetic

Love that documentary!

Yeah I was working out. I was working on my traps doing some dumbbell snatches and shrugs. I was getting pumped. I decided to throw on your movie during my workout.

Talk About a "Legacy". In 2005 this movie accurately Predicted Smartphones (post-2009), Mass Surveillance, Trash TV overtaking normal Television. All 5-10 years before those things happened.

Gets a physics degree, becomes beloved comedy creator. What a legend.

Mike Judge is loved way more than he will ever know ❤

One of many legends on this show would love to have a drink with him someday this guy was my childhood

This man is responsible for an infinite amount of laughs

Met Judge at SXSW and proclaimed the film was way ahead of it’s time. He told me he must hear that 10 times a day.

I saw it when it came out, loved it

I first watch movie around 2009 when I was searching for any movies to watch on Netflix, when it was both streaming and renting by in-mail DVDs. Out of all the movies I watched, this was one of the memorable movies along with The Darwin Awards and Henry Poole is Here.

"Because they got electrolytes." The immortal essence of our society.

Wow its crazy to see how disappointed mike is/was with that movie.. this is easily hands down top 3 funniest movies ever made bc you see elements in actual society every day. Take more pride in idiocracy mike! Its definitely considered a cult classic at this point

One of my all time favorite films, thanks for writing it.

My favorite sequence of events!

He did 2 seasons of a show called Tales from the Tour Bus, don't know where you can find them but the are great.

I have been referencing this brilliant documentary since it was released. Thank you for making this information available to the public.🙏

Mike Judge is a unique version of a genius.

insanely underrated. I loved this movie since day one.

"IT WAS MEANT TO BE A COMEDY, NOT A DOCUMENTARY"- Mike Judge

Make idiocracy fiction again

It was always one of my favs to see on Comedy Central

I first pair of Crocks were in county lock up. I kept them and wore them for a full year before they disintegrated.

I love Idiocracy. One of the greatest movies of all time. I can watch it at any time. Thanks Mike Judge.

Two movies that I love that predicted the future pretty well: V for Vendetta and Idiocracy.

2:02 I can tell Joe Rogan was waiting for Mike Judge to make a Brawndo reference after he asked "How do you do that?" 😆🤣😂

"Welcome to Costco; I love you." "Carl's Jr. **ck you, I'm eating!" "Water? You mean like out the toilet?" One of the most quotable movies ever!

Mike Judge is a legend and is up there with Matt Stone and Trey Parker in creating satirical comedy. I highly recommend the Cinemax Series "Mike Judge presents: Tales From the Tour Bus". It's an animated docu-series, that delves into the stories of musics greatest legends. It's a series so full of humour, tragedy, and music and I can not recommend it enough.

"They cut the effects budget.... but the paid to make the movie... so I'm grateful." What a pro. They sabotaged the movie's production and buried its release, Judge says nice things about them.

Crocs are huge in military deployments. It’s kind of the ultimate shower shoe because you typically have to walk a decent distance through gravel/sand/etc to get from you sleeping location to the communal showers/latrines.

idocracy and office space are all time greats! I just referred to Luke Wilson as the guy from Idiocracy yesterday.

"Idiocracy" was a genius piece of filming. Never before and never again will a movie comedy NAIL current and future societal trends as dead on as this.

Loved Idiocracy, Office Space, and Extract. We need a revival of great comedy films and I'd love if Mike Judge could start that with a new one.

This movie was replayed so many times in Comedy Central and I watched it every single time 😂

I saw it just after it was released , hilarious, everyone I mentioned it to had never heard of it. Its one of those films you never forget and numerous real life situations always made remember moments from the movie

A while back, the Walmart near my house had the movie in the discount DVD rack. I bought 20+ copies for $3 a piece and gave them away for Xmas. Never had such positive feedback for a gift before. I did the same in later years when Way of the Gun was in the discount bin. I bought a bunch of them for $5 and gave them away for Christmas.

I ordered this movie from Amazon and while watching it I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or get angry. I spent 31+ years in American industry and wrote a book series about the decline and fall of the American work ethic. As a luxury vehicle modifier (conversion vans) and an assembly line worker (fire trucks) I worked with people who could not read on a high school level, could not read a simple tape measure, and honestly believed that 3/8ths was more than 3/4ths! Many times I was taken aside by crew leaders and supervisors and advised to “dumb down“ my language so that many of my coworkers could better understand me. During one production meeting when asked to share my thoughts I started off by saying “Well gentlemen , not to sound presumptuous -“ a coworker immediately cut in saying “There he goes again with them $100 dollar words!” Indeed many of my coworkers asked me “Why you gotta use them bigass words?!”

One of my all-time favorite comedies

The airport scene (pre zombie apocalypse) of Warm Bodies did an excellent job with showing every single person staring at a screen. Electronically zombified. 6:25

Feeling bad about killing grass is one of the most hank hill things I’ve ever heard 😂

Thank you Mike, for one of the funniest and most prescient movies ever made.

Released in 2006 as a comedy yet every passing year it comes closer to a documentary.

We need a part 2 stat! Must I say why and where the material should come from?

I love how it devolved into a discussion about Crocs! So good

I think Idiocracy is a true legendary classic movie. People will talk about it forever.

Welcome to Costco.....I love you.

Best movie ever! I loved it. Mike Judge is awesome!

Hank hill coming out when he talks about killing the grass lol

Im a swede born in 84 and Mike Judges genius has been with me from the age of 10 and on to this day. Everything from Beavis and butthead to idiocracy and Silicon Valley. No other single person has ever created that kind of quality with such consistency over such a long time… with such a fundamental allure to all ages of myself. Mind blowing!

It makes me a little sad that Mike wasn't happy with Idiocracy. I love this movie. If I see it on I'll stop whatever I'm doing and finish watching it. The cast was great. The idea of the deterioration of language is actually happening and it's scary.

i watched that movie first time a long long time ago, still love it its just so awsome

I just finished watching it for free with ads on youtube , treat yourselves and watch this masterpiece, the smartphones was hard to predict but he was spot on the crocs , I still haven't bought one to this date 😂

When I was in 8th grade on our summer trip for school we went to the capital in Austin and we all got to meet Mike and the crew they were there at some building making a scene for the movie and the set was amazing it looked like a library that was abandoned 100s of years ago it was so cool to see in person how some of the movie was made.. Mike was a awesome person and took pictures with us and answered some questions about whatever all of us young kids were bugging him about lol not to mention we all loved him because of Beavis and Butthead!! It was like meeting your super hero lol!!
