so, you had no actual commentary on the premise at all...except in the very beginning when you simply said "i don't know about that" like you're just dismissing the idea that the population is already not getting dumber? you think a culture of dumb people, dumb families will still somehow produce intelligent people that will also reproduce? it's a real issue...enjoy your crocs...smh jfc
There were so many people that started using terms and references from this movie ironically, that they became unironic over time. Think "batin".. that's 100% just "fappin" lol
Judge didn’t just write Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill - he was the creator of both and voices Beavis, Butthead, and Hank Hill. He’s super talented
I love Office Space, Idiocracy, King of the Hill, Daria, Silicon Valley...but I'll never get the appeal of Beavis and Butthead. "Hey look, it's the people at school I actively avoid: let's waste my free time watching more of them!"
@@dupersuper1938 As a former boy in a small town, Beavis and Butthead was hilarious to me. In retrospect, it was an amazing depiction of a bored, boyhood friendship that is incredibly stupid and destructive, but also somehow intimate in an unspoken way. Remember B&B came out before the internet was widespread, so most other media was controlled and sanitized. Compare Beavis and Butthead to (for example) Michael J. Fox in Family Ties or Kirk Cameron in Growing Pains. B&B might have been dumb but it was 100% more reflective of actual day to day living for kids that didn't live in a TV mansion with caring and present parents. Blowing stuff up, doing stupid things, hurting each other and more than anything sitting around reacting to stuff. Most of the show was them watching and reacting to videos, so that was also very "meta" before meta was a thing. I certainly understand why some (or most) people don't appreciate the show or prefer King of the Hill (which was also very perceptive with much more normal storytelling).
I recently watched the new Beavis & Butthead movie and series and it really reminded me of all the strengths of the show. Behind all the stupidity gags the boys dynamics have some subtleties that really don't show themselves when you only see clips of the show.
@@dupersuper1938 while I understand where you’re coming from, there was a great deal of satire woven into the fabric of Beavis and Butthead. But if you just couldn’t take the two of them pretty much being stupid a-holes commenting on music videos, you wouldn’t enjoy it. However, the same bones of Judge’s worldview that you enjoy in his other works are fully present in Beavis and Butthead.
In 2006 this movie was shockingly innovative. To have seen this movie then and then to watch society follow the prophetic script almost verbatim has been terrifying.
@@natsinthebelfry Oof! Let's not take the movie or ourselves too seriously. I think this movie is very funny, but I imagine it could be seen as elitist propaganda or punching down from certain points of view. Even Mr. and Ms. "Average" are depicted as a shirker and a prostitute, respectively. While it might give us a few things to think about, I don't see this movie as a source of prophetic wisdom.
2006 was also in a sweet spot between when most people got online and we got exposed to how many idiots there were out there but before we got desensitized to it.
Mike Judge has a strong ability to spot and communicate nuances of human nature and that shows in everything he's done. Recently, he wrote "Silicon Valley" which was a very funny and clever take on the startup culture. "Office Space" is probably his best - a take down of cubicle culture in the 90s.
This film was produced by Fox, and the Fox Corporation was offended at how they were represented so they dumped the film in a couple of theaters in LA and New York. I saw it opening day and loved it so much I grabbed some friends and went straight back to the theater to watch it again.
What you said is what ive always thought. Its a movie that I dont expect people to appreciate when they watch it. But lets ask Shanelle ten years from now. And I bet she will remember this movie more fondly, and more parts from it that movies she rates higher.
@@DIEGOSHAY Camacho was at least smart enough to know when he needed to defer to a smarter person to lead. The 45th..I mean the plead the 5th president, not so much.
It’s my worst nightmare, Imagine getting frozen for 500 years, you wake up and everyone you love is gone and you wake up in a world where everyone is incredibly dumb, the worst part is you can’t leave/go back..
The phenomenon of this movie is that people have noticed this is a "Comedy slowly turning into a documentary". That is the general reason became the "cult classic" it is.
Stephen Root (The judge) and David Herman (Secretary of State) are also both in Office Space. Judge fought hard with producers to get Terry Crews as President Camacho. As a result, Crews had to audition 5 times. It's said he was up against some "big names".
I think the reason people love this movie is that they saw it when it came out, and many of the things that happened in the movie came true, or seem to be coming true.
"They get stuck in a Costco overnight. What happens?" Well, there is a movie about two people getting stuck in a Target overnight called Career Opportunities
You had to redo the intro for IDIOCRACY bc you forgot to start filming. That’s actually perfect for the theme of this film. 😂 I hope you caught the end credit scene.
I probably watched this around 2010. With every year that goes by, it feels more and more like a documentary. That said, if you haven't seen Office Space, watch Office space. I do think it's a stronger movie overall and probably the closest we'll ever get to a live-action Dilbert movie.
I was watching this with a girl and her roommate in 2009. When president comacho was giving his speech the roommate said "so is that supposed to be obama?" It was like the movie was blending into reality and I knew Idiocracy was inevitable
I waited for this to movie come out because I love Office Space. Then I saw it and loved it right away, and I hyped this movie up TO EVERYONE! 😆 People probably though I was nuts. I might be nuts.
Our philosophy teacher showed this movie in class in 2012. Then I watched it at home with my parents after that. I haven't seen it since but its memory is always with me. Every time I hear about or witness hugely dumb things happening in the world, I think to myself: yep, that's where we're heading.
Mike Judge was at Disney Land with his children. He heard some teenagers saying the most stupidest things. Then he looked at his children and they were smarter than the teenagers. He felt scared for the future. Thats how Idiocracy was born
“I like to ignore problems like that” - That could be why the movies missing the mark with you. Also, for the “Stuck in a Costco” thing, you should check out the movie “Career Opportunities”.
You will like Office Space much more, I did, but I enjoyed this as a slap in the face to the people who are driving full speed ahead, slowly bringing a version of this concept closer to reality, every day.
Fun Fact: I was one of the ten people who managed to see this in a theatre. I happened to be visiting friends in Atlanta (one of the few cities where it was released), and they were huge Mike Judge fans, so they knew about it coming out despite the total lack of promotion. Sure enough, the cinema was pretty empty, but we had a good time with it.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is a really great president! He had a variety of problems on his hands but was quick to consult experts (or, at least, someone more intelligent than himself) to find solutions. That's just good leadership, he's got my vote.
I had the same reaction to this film you did the first time I saw it. I thought it was funny, but a little slow in places. On second viewing, it came across much better, because I was not trying to figure out what would happen, and just savoring the ridiculous flavor of the film. Office Space is much more relatable, and very, very funny.
The themes of this movie are actually quite dark. A population bred to be too dumb to solve problems. Spraying people with chemicals to make them docile.
Funny enough, there is a movie that’s basically at a Costco you mentioned at 12:50 (different name but same thing) AND it also has Dax Shepherd in it 😂. It’s called Employee of the Month.
You know that guy that stops people asking them questions about our country or current events and they are clueless? We closer than you think! Thanks Shanelle this movie is like awesome!
It started off unpopular ONLY because the companies mocked in the movie got mad that the movie provided an accurate and believable exaggeration of exactly what they are.
Fun Facts: Mike Jude's earliest work (at least, the first place I ever saw it) was on an MTV show called Liquid Television. It includes the first appearances of Beavis and Butthead, and a sad little cartoon guy who ended up being a character in Office Space.
I remember seeing a poster for this at my local theatre and being excited for it. Then I heard nothing about it until seeing it on the shelf at blockbuster. Watched it, loved it, bought it. Also you missed the after credits scene!
This was a nice surprise, upload mid week. I really needed this after a slow day at the office. Keep up the good work Shanelle. Your reactions and trivia are always much appreciated 👍 I had not seen this movie, It was surprisingly well done, and gave me a few laughs.
The Judge was played by Stephen Root ("Office Space", Voice of "Bill Dautrieve" on "King of the Hill"). At the beginning, when they show the hereditary tree of offspring, if you look closely, The director included Hank and Bobby Hill (lol - Why not members of The Goode Family???)
I giggled a bit in the beginning when you said no one got it back in 2006. Believe me, outside of the USA, we got it! xD ;p I think it's a fun movie, the satire is great. It's not one I 'd rank as a top 10 or such, but it's fun. Thanks for uploading! Greetings from Sweden
It wasn't popular when it came out because it wasn't widely released...it only got distributed in 7 cities and 130 theaters (normal is at least 600). Rumor is it got the smallest release legally possible because the brands were not happy with how they ended up being used in the film lol.
Upon repeated viewings you will notice how much prophecy this movie had...... When this movie first came out nobody knew what Crocs were and in the film everybody is wearing them.
13:01 "I want a movie set in a Costco! Stuck in a Costco overnight! What happens? Silliness ensues!" "Career Opportunities" 1991, written by John Hughes, with Jennifer Connely and Frank Whaley (It's a Target, not a Costco)
for more than a decade, this movie has felt like a prediction coming true. it is in the cross-section of brave new world, 1984, and Harrison Bergeron. mike judge is brilliant .
The day you finally watch “Employee of the Month” is going to be a really really good day for me. I am surprised more people don’t suggest it to you. If you need incentive in this reaction you mention how cool a movie set in a Costco would be, how bout a comedy with actors you already love. I hope it comes across your board soon ❣️
Mike Jusge said the crocks weren't available to the public yet. Someone in wardrobe came acrossed them and they all thought they were stupid, had no chance of becoming a common product. He said it took a couple years to release the movie and in that time crocks had exploded on the scene. So, they kind of lost the effect of a stupid product from the future
I saw this in 2006 when it came out on DVD and got it sent to me in the mail from Netflix (yeah that's what Netflix was back then...) I loved Office Space! Loved loved *LOVED* IT! So I was pretty excited to see Idiocracy when it arrived. Then my reaction first time I saw it was pretty much same as yours. I was disappointed. However, this is one of those movies that, for me at least, gets better with every single rewatch. There is just *so much* packed into this movie, every time I watch it I see something I missed before. I love this movie now (still love Office Space more though) and think it is great!
If you want another satirical movie with a lot of ironic product placement (which they didn't even get paid for) you should definitely see Josie and the Pussycats it's got an amazing cast!!
JatP is so much better than it has any right to be. Amazingly snarky, biting satire, with clever writing and a great cast. DuJour means watch this movie!
i found your discomfort at certain themes or sections of this movie pretty interesting. I haven't really seen other people react to this movie in that way
Shanelle, a satire from early 80’s that is kind of forgotten is Blake Edwards S.O.B. that is a viscous attack on Hollywood. Stars Julie Andrews and William Holden and I think you will love it.
Hey Shanelle! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! I don't know if you read my comments but I leave some here and there on your videos and I absolutely love your reactions! I didn't see you watch this movie to the end and at the very end of this movie there another scene. Go back and watch the movie to the very end! Also I think this was one of the greatest twists to a movie ever 22:44 about the time machine just like Fight Club! Absolutely loved you finding out it was a ride! I didn't see that coming either! Love ya and keep up the great reactions!
Thanks, Shanelle! My ex-husband (still a friend) and I saw this in the cinema back in the day. We appreciated it... certainly not Earth-shattering, but fun if one is in a certain mood. The theme is solid, though. 🧠 #ShanelleRiccio #MikeJudge #Idiocracy
When I was an 18 year old boy this movie was quite funny to me, and an honestly pretty original idea at the time. I think some things are extra funny now seeing how real life played out since, but watching it again now it was pretty flat as you said. Office Space on the other hand is a gosh darn classic, a must watch!
Mike Judge said at the time he chose Crocs as the footwear for the movie because he was just looking for the most ridiculous looking shoe. Then Crocs got super popular a few years later at made him look prophetic.
Who said this was a low budget flop? lol, I saw this in a packed theater, at school people were talking like Macho Camacho for like 2 years. It's like Python levels of quotable. I guess the studio itself didnt like what Judge was saying, that's all. Judge cashed in a lot of good will to put this message out there. And good on him for it.
We call that anecdotal evidence, which isn't good for much when you have real figures. The movie's budget was 2.4 million and it only grossed 495k while in theaters, so roughly only made back 20% of the budget. It's literally the definition of a flop.
your right he thought colleges were gonna start teaching the youth plants love electrolytes and didnt forsee preaching wokeness to the point of hemorrhaging companies... thus it doesnt hold up and is hard to watch for the reactor.
19:17 Beef Supreme is played by Andrew Wilson (AKA the lesser known Wilson Brother) 20:34 "And what the F is this?", well that is a giant purple female pleasure aid. As for Crocs, the costume designer literally choose them cause they were a new product that they thought no one would ever wear. 26:29 No even CGI, it is mostly old school matte painting.
The hidden gem part of this movie is every single time you hear about Florida Man, or the latest incredibly short-sighted policy decision from politicians, or when the consequences of the short-sighted decision made months or years ago comes due. Then you can point to this movie and shake your head that it was way too close to reality than was comfortable.

The way the future lost the word “tortillas” and refers to them as “burrito coverings” is something I think about every time I’m at the supermarket.

Apparently not for Shanelle 😒
This movie will age too well...
Lauren Boebert says "sup.".
The phenomenon of this movie is that people have noticed this is a "Comedy slowly turning into a documentary". That is the general reason became the "cult classic" it is.
Dfund police 💙 !
It was a cult classic even before it became a documentary.
"You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square."

Judge fought hard with producers to get Terry Crews as President Camacho. As a result, Crews had to audition 5 times. It's said he was up against some "big names".
It stinks that he he had to fight to cast the actors he thought was right for a movie he wrote.

The scene with Justin Long is iconic.. also its got what plants crave
Electrolytes.....
Why come you have no tattoo?
It’s absurdist humor in 2006. In 2023 it’s a tragicomedy.
"They get stuck in a Costco overnight. What happens?" Well, there is a movie about two people getting stuck in a Target overnight called Career Opportunities
haha; was scrolling through to see if anyone'd made this point yet
Crocs were just introduced at the time, they used them under the assumption they were so dumb that no rational person would ever wear them 😂
Idiocracy is underrated. This comedic satire is now a full fledge documentary. A prophetic film that was ahead of its time.
Exactly! Dfund police nationwide!! 💙

Every time I hear about or witness hugely dumb things happening in the world, I think to myself: yep, that's where we're heading.

Fun Fact : Idiocracy singlehandedly made crocks a thing
It's funny that everyone seems to miss the end credits scene of UPGRAYEDD coming out of a cryo pod coming for the money that Rita owes him.
That review was definitely a fair synopsis of the movie. And yes, Office Space is a *must* watch, particularly if you've ever worked in a cubicle.
You will like Office Space much more, I did, but I enjoyed this as a slap in the face to the people who are driving full speed ahead, slowly bringing a version of this concept closer to reality, every day.
Such an underrated movie! It is coming true day by day!
This movie is why, every time I go to Costco, I wait for the greeter to tell me,”Welcome to Costco. I love you.”
Fun Fact: I was one of the ten people who managed to see this in a theatre. I happened to be visiting friends in Atlanta (one of the few cities where it was released), and they were huge Mike Judge fans, so they knew about it coming out despite the total lack of promotion. Sure enough, the cinema was pretty empty, but we had a good time with it.
Dax Shepherd was in a movie about "Costco" or Sam's Club called Employee of the Month. He played the villain to Dan Cook's protagonist.
Idiocracy is one of the movies where if it's on TV, no matter what part it's on, I will sit down and watch it.

OFFICE SPACE is a MASTERPIECE
“Why come you have no tattoo?”
If you like this one, def watch Office Space or the show Silicon Valley (maybe even Beavis & Butt-head Do America).
LOL! "Bork! You're a FEDREAL AGENT! You represent the United States Government! Never end a sentence with a preposition!"
An often overlooked detail I love is that electrolytes are literally salts... So they were salting the earth, hence the crops not growing
You know that guy that stops people asking them questions about our country or current events and they are clueless? We closer than you think! Thanks Shanelle this movie is like awesome!
Though that was as much an observation of the situation in 2006 (as well as the past) as a vision of things to come.
It started off unpopular ONLY because the companies mocked in the movie got mad that the movie provided an accurate and believable exaggeration of exactly what they are.
I like Idiocracy, but the premise is doing the heavy lifting. Office Space is still Mike Judge's magnum opus.
Fun Facts: Mike Jude's earliest work (at least, the first place I ever saw it) was on an MTV show called Liquid Television. It includes the first appearances of Beavis and Butthead, and a sad little cartoon guy who ended up being a character in Office Space.

for more than a decade, this movie has felt like a prediction coming true. it is in the cross-section of brave new world, 1984, and Harrison Bergeron. mike judge is brilliant .
When I saw Trump standing in the White House next to a table with 200 cheese burgers on it the first thing that popped into my head was Idiocracy.
@@krashd I could really go for a latte right now tbh.
There's already a movie that takes place in a Cosco, it's called Employee Of The Month.
I am writing this to help out Shenelle and this video and this channel with the algorithm ♥️✌️😘😊
Office Space taught me a lot of things about work, almost everything in fact.
This movie is solid satire harder than a diamond and Mike Judge is a social prophet of scary accuracy
The day you finally watch “Employee of the Month” is going to be a really really good day for me. I am surprised more people don’t suggest it to you. If you need incentive in this reaction you mention how cool a movie set in a Costco would be, how bout a comedy with actors you already love. I hope it comes across your board soon ❣️
Should have mentioned that Dax Shepherd is in it.
You could seriously watch this movie 30 times and never stop noticing new details and things they are saying about humanity
Mike Jusge said the crocks weren't available to the public yet. Someone in wardrobe came acrossed them and they all thought they were stupid, had no chance of becoming a common product.
He said it took a couple years to release the movie and in that time crocks had exploded on the scene.
So, they kind of lost the effect of a stupid product from the future
So great you reacted to this! Seeing how the world is today, it’s not a stretch. Great reaction!
Dfund police!! 💙💙💙
Mike Judge never fails with writing, the man is a genius.
I saw this in 2006 when it came out on DVD and got it sent to me in the mail from Netflix (yeah that's what Netflix was back then...)
I loved Office Space! Loved loved *LOVED* IT!
So I was pretty excited to see Idiocracy when it arrived.
Then my reaction first time I saw it was pretty much same as yours.
I was disappointed.
However, this is one of those movies that, for me at least, gets better with every single rewatch.
There is just *so much* packed into this movie, every time I watch it I see something I missed before.
I love this movie now (still love Office Space more though) and think it is great!
They got one thing wrong in this documentary.
It wasn't in 2505 that they woke up, but in 2055.
If you want another satirical movie with a lot of ironic product placement (which they didn't even get paid for) you should definitely see Josie and the Pussycats it's got an amazing cast!!
Josie and the Pussycats doesn't get the respect it deserves.
JatP is so much better than it has any right to be. Amazingly snarky, biting satire, with clever writing and a great cast. DuJour means watch this movie!
@Darkstar A couple of people say a movie is fun, and *that* is your conclusion?
i found your discomfort at certain themes or sections of this movie pretty interesting. I haven't really seen other people react to this movie in that way
Dfund police nationwide! 💙
This was parody, and then in 2016, it became a documentary.
You mean 2020
Shanelle, a satire from early 80’s that is kind of forgotten is Blake Edwards S.O.B. that is a viscous attack on Hollywood. Stars Julie Andrews and William Holden and I think you will love it.
Great selection. Very under-appreciated movie.
I guess if you want the Costco trope, maybe try; "Employee of the Month" and "Career Opportunities".
Does Shanelle really not know what the hood ornament is??
Hey Shanelle! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! I don't know if you read my comments but I leave some here and there on your videos and I absolutely love your reactions! I didn't see you watch this movie to the end and at the very end of this movie there another scene. Go back and watch the movie to the very end! Also I think this was one of the greatest twists to a movie ever 22:44 about the time machine just like Fight Club! Absolutely loved you finding out it was a ride! I didn't see that coming either! Love ya and keep up the great reactions!
This movie is too damn real now
yup. 😂
Dfund police nationwide! 💙 💙💙💙
Thanks for reacting to this overlooked gem.
One of my favorite movies. Mike Judge is a comic genius. He didn’t just do some Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill, he created them
"Career Opportunities" from 1991 is Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly trapped in a Target overnight. Also stars Dermot Mulroney. Plenty of silliness.
I should had read all of the comments cause i said the same thing
Thanks, Shanelle! My ex-husband (still a friend) and I saw this in the cinema back in the day. We appreciated it... certainly not Earth-shattering, but fun if one is in a certain mood. The theme is solid, though. 🧠 #ShanelleRiccio #MikeJudge #Idiocracy
When I was an 18 year old boy this movie was quite funny to me, and an honestly pretty original idea at the time. I think some things are extra funny now seeing how real life played out since, but watching it again now it was pretty flat as you said.
Office Space on the other hand is a gosh darn classic, a must watch!
The more politically aware you are, the funnier it is because you can see it in our reality now. It's also kind of scary for the same reason.
Yeah, this movie basically became indistinguishable from real life, almost overnight once Trump was elected.
Mike Judge said at the time he chose Crocs as the footwear for the movie because he was just looking for the most ridiculous looking shoe. Then Crocs got super popular a few years later at made him look prophetic.
Who said this was a low budget flop? lol, I saw this in a packed theater, at school people were talking like Macho Camacho for like 2 years. It's like Python levels of quotable. I guess the studio itself didnt like what Judge was saying, that's all. Judge cashed in a lot of good will to put this message out there. And good on him for it.
We call that anecdotal evidence, which isn't good for much when you have real figures. The movie's budget was 2.4 million and it only grossed 495k while in theaters, so roughly only made back 20% of the budget. It's literally the definition of a flop.
They did make that movie you’re talking about. It’s called “Career opportunities” and it’s great 😊
This movie isn't even satire anymore.
your right he thought colleges were gonna start teaching the youth plants love electrolytes and didnt forsee preaching wokeness to the point of hemorrhaging companies... thus it doesnt hold up and is hard to watch for the reactor.
Stephen Root with Wolverine hair should be in every movie
19:17 Beef Supreme is played by Andrew Wilson (AKA the lesser known Wilson Brother)
20:34 "And what the F is this?", well that is a giant purple female pleasure aid.
As for Crocs, the costume designer literally choose them cause they were a new product that they thought no one would ever wear.
26:29 No even CGI, it is mostly old school matte painting.
woahhh on the matte painting !! Looked super CGI'd but the budget was still tight, I was out of my element on this guess for sure
The hidden gem part of this movie is every single time you hear about Florida Man, or the latest incredibly short-sighted policy decision from politicians, or when the consequences of the short-sighted decision made months or years ago comes due. Then you can point to this movie and shake your head that it was way too close to reality than was comfortable.
I loved Maya Rudolph in The Happytime Murders. Definitely needs to be added to the list.
