Idiocracy and Team America: Two Classic Comedies That Hit Close To Home
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2024
- 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.

Idiocracy was not a movie; it was prophesy. Brought to you by Carl’s Jr.
Bruh, you sent me with, “Brought to you by Carls Jr” 😭😭
A gentleman and a scholar. Well played, sir.
"Documentary"
Yup, pretty much exactly described the modern day GOP didn't it? Terrifying how accurate it was...
@@ross-carlson How did the GOP survive with all those Democrat voters dominating *Idiocracy?*
The studio execs realized Office Space and Idiocracy were about them.
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.
The Studios, Streamers & Networks have grown exponentially more absurd & idio-cratic themselves. I work in the content creation/production field, and would not work with any of those cok-sukers for all the tea in China... (but perhaps the Yen in China!) 🙃😉😊
Idiocracy is honestly probably the closest thing we have to predicting the future
future? its already here. its a documentary at this point.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

That's Secretary of Interior NOT SURE!
These days, Office Space is practically Citizen Kane.
Gimme back my stapler 😂🎉
@@ToddAdams1234I just bought one of those (Milton's red Swingline) to staple my screenplay pages! No joke.
@@chris55529 Are they expensive?
@@mikitzIt was roughly $18.00. Ordered through Amazon. Hope this helps!
@@chris55529 Yeah...thanks, yeah...
Mike Judge, Trey Parker, and Matt Stone were way ahead of their time.
Beavis and butthead and south park need to do a crossover
Office Space is my favorite comedy movie of all time. Judge is genius.
Matt Groening also. The first like 7 seasons of the Simpsons, and all of Futurama. Let's not talk about Disenchanted...
If the three of them were to make a movie or show together I think I would find a bookie and place a bet on whatever happens in that movie to become true lol

I was working in an office. Little cubicals everywhere and to get to the smoking area you had to cut through this space. Im walking to meet up with my "crew". One of the girls asks have you seen Team America. Without messing a beat i lean in, throw up Devil horns and death whisper FUCK YEAH and she spits out coffee and laughed so hard into the silent void that was a Tuesday morning... Memories😊

Sure, this totally happened.
@pazuzu1136 some people actually have lives and experiences therein
@@Dehsera uh huh, yup, totally happened, totally not a lame story concocted for the cheap, fleeting dopamine hits upvotes provide.
I bet you’re a lot of fun to work with!! Every office needs a wild card or the job is soul crushing. Bravo!!
Team America had me from the initial opening shot, with the puppets within a puppet movie. It's such a brilliant f-the audience moment, cuz you know it's a movie about puppets, but you aren't quite sure how it's going to look on the screen. Then it pans out to actual puppet-France, in all it's stereotyped glory. *chefs kiss*
And then almost immediately brought back down to earth with the ‘hand to hand’ combat.👌
@@RoloT007 yes... "back to earth". lol. it's so amazing i can't believe the schedule they were on too at the time, and that it didn't kill them both.
Thats sex scene is beyond fkn hilarious 😂 😂
Cockpuncher😂😂😂😂😂
I remember the trailers with all the famous names listed... and are really gonna hate this as the Earth exploses.
"Team America: World Police" (2004), "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (2005) and "Idiocracy" (2006) are my three favourite comedies ever made.
You have GOT to read the books. At least hitchhikers guide.
@@rthj6446YES! The trilogy in five parts is honestly one of my favourite books of all time!
The only thing wrong with the hitchhikers movie is it's missing out 99% of the books
Absolutely love the 5 book trilogy!
@@user-ln7kt1ft3g what 5 book trilogy, i have only One massive book lol.
I re-watched Idiocracy about a year ago for the first time in a long time
Honestly, one of the scariest movies I've seen for all the wrong reasons
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya.
Not only is Team America a legendary film, it has the most entertaining soundtrack ever lol.Matt and Trey always knock it out of the park.
Pearl Harbour sucks…….just a little bit more than I miss you
The full versions of some of these songs are outstanding. Only a woman is absolutely genius
What would u Do!
I LOVE Team America.

I got to meet Mike Judge and the production crew when they strolled into our office looking to rent some office space for the movie Office Space. I even had a couple lunch dates with a sweet blonde who picked out the background places outside the office such as the restaurant , bar at the hotel next to us and the driving background. The fire in the movie was right outside my window. Loved the movie and it really hit the spot of the tech world in Austin at the time.

If someone can multiply fractions when they turn 25 I'd bet they are smarter than half the population.
@@dgray7537 "I'd bet they are smarter than half the population."
...than half... okay.
Means that someone is perfectly average. :)
...I'm not so sure half the population (over 25) can multiply fractions, though.
But it's not a question of intelligence, it's just a question if they remember the rules, 10 years after they heard and used them for the last time. :)
@@Zett76 So how did you get so dumb?

Just think about how dumb the average person is, and then remember half of the people are dumber than that.

Oh yeah - good point

Ow! My Balls has been on the air for years. We call it Ridiculousness.
😏
I rented Idiocracy from Blockbuster not knowing anything about it.
The DVD menu at the beginning was “Ow my balls” on a loop. I was cracking up just to that.
Then I watched the movie and realized that maybe I was a little too close to the joke.
I watch whole Instagram videos of people getting hit in the balls and I have to admit it makes me laugh.
We’re All DEVO.
_Are we not men?_
Funny is funny. There is no shame in laughing.
Hey, what about King of the Hill? That was a huge Mike Judge hit.
What about every movie ever made that reflects society. This video just proves the guy who made it is an oblivious twat. This video is like someone "exposing the facts" than 5 comes after 4.
I had to go to the comments after the _third_ failure to acknowledge King of the Hill. 😤
It is like every other Mike Judge production: First I hear of it, I say, "That sounds like shit."
Then eventually, people I trust INSIST I give it a chance and some time later it has become one of my all-time favorites. Even King of the Hill (Peggy Hill is one of the best-realized fully human characters to ever be on TV).
But Team America. That takes the cake. More moments of actual hysterical crack-up laughter than any other. Damn. Good think they took the jokes out.
And his best work in my opinion.
How can somebody remember 13 episodes of the Goode Family and forget 13 SEASONS of KOTH?
The only problem I have with Idiocracy is that it didn’t have enough Justin Long in it 😂 “howsithanging ese”

@@pinrod1 probably flew her plane into the ow my balls guys balls

Here I am sitting in the bathroom watching this when they introduce.... Crocs.

I didn't buy mine until just recently--and that in a second hand store.
They still had original tags as though someone had bought them as a present for somebody...who didn't like them.

Jodie Foster said that if there was one movie that she thinks everyone should see in their lifetime, it's Team America. Both of these movies are beyond fantastic! Mike Judge, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are all geniuses(and not the breaded and fried kind). The opening scene in Team America is one of the most brilliant comedy scenes in the history of comedy. Opening with a marionette being controlled by a marionette is so simple but so brilliant.
Liberals love shiting on other people, they don't realize
One of my favorite memories is heading into the movies and watching everyone come out of another theater crying hysterically and we're thinking "WTF did they just watch!?!?" We were going in to laugh until crying while watching TEAM AMERICA. The movie those other folks were coming out of was "THE NOTEBOOK".
Idk who needs to know this, but freedom now costs 1.70 after inflation. You’re welcome
Wow that’s a hefty fuckin fee
Most underrated comment on RUclips
Buck O' Five just rolls off the tongue better
Heinously underrated comment lmao
Two of the best satirical movies ever made. Still funny after watching them countless times.
Yes satire. 😅
@@HashknightGaming Satire can become reality, unfortunately.
Surprised you didn’t mention the classic Baseketball! Another great Parker/Stone creation that even starred the dynamic duo!!
I was wondering if anyone else remembered baseketball. By the way I heard your sister slept with squeak!
How did Shaq get rich?
He got rich in college, everybody knows that 🤣
Ah long before NIL and even shortly before Spike Lee so greatly touched on the hypocrisy of the “purity” of college sports in “He Got Game” we all know Shaq was getting paid under the table at LSU 😜
Heck they even lampooned this in the first movie he did “Blue Chips”.
The guys who did Airplane and The Naked Gun series had the original idea for BASEketball, and absolutely wanted Trey and Matt as the main characters. They let Trey and Matt rewrite most of their lines.
That said, totally agree with you.
And the Jazz moved to Utah, where there is no jazz.
What about Orgazmo? "Hey, I don't wanna sound like a qw.ear or nothin', but I think unicorns are kick ass"
Mike Judge has a heart and honesty that shine through in everything he does.
Each project has a sincere sense of authenticity that it's impossible to not love it.
I've been in the Army for 39 years and Team America is a must show to all new soldiers..especially during deployment.
Oh god I'd live to sit in and watch that .
America, FUCK YEAH!!
I would legit workout to that song
Office Space was huge for me, since it was almost a re-enactment of the tech support world I was working in.
That one woman with the really annoying voice... I had her a few cubes up. And no matter what you were doing, you could hear her voice.
Team America: I was one of four people in the theater. Only spot I stopped laughing at was the bummer sequence.
Gimme back my stapler 😂 🎉
I was in the Army National Guard when I was 21. We got permission to take a gov't 15 pack van and went to a dollar theater Brewvies that served food and alcohol to see Team America. I'm surprised we didn't get kicked out we were so loud talking trash and nonstop laughing. Good times.
I started laughing at the bummer sequence dude. Sad America Fuck Yeah is gold.
I worked in fast food at the time Office Space came out and anytime I had a horrible day and I hated my job, I would pop that VHS in and be thankful that I at least didn't work in an office like that😅and then I would feel a little better
@@thaahurricane I got so sensitized to laughing at those damn puppet characters that in the "sex scene" where she goes to put a finger to his lips in a 'hush" gesture...and it slides up into his eye because that's all the freakin' control they had on the puppet....hysterical laughter. The vomit scene. The scene where they montaged the complex process to "transform" into a terrorist stereotype. Yeah, gotta see these again.
I have never seen Team America: World Police. I started watching South Park in 2019. I was in college or raising a family. I remember seeing the posters for Team America in the malls. I will watch it tonight.
It's base, crass and stupid.
You missed nothing
@@curtiskretzer8898 I hate to tell you I liked it. I finally watched it last night.
@@curtiskretzer8898"yur r rorthress curtisretzer"
@@princesszoeylynn You have good taste.
I kept catching idiocracy on TV half way through the movie and thought this is crazy and turned it off.
When I watched it from the start I thought wow this is genius
That Robin Williams "Blame Canada" clip was something I had been lacking in my life. Thanks!
I would give an arm and a leg to see "the day after the day after tomorrow"! At least we got "two days before the day after tomorrow" from sp
I was going to say that we got it on the South Park episode kind of
it felt like a live action futurama movie to me
Commenting just to say I appreciate watching a video that has narration done by an actual live human instead of the text-to-voice software that's all too prevalent these days. Thanks.
Never been big on team america...but absolutely love anything Mike judge does, and loved idiocracy. If the rock ever runs for president and wins, the prophecy will be complete
The prophecy was complete when sweet potato hitler and his brain dead Trumpanzees tried to overthrow the government so he could be president for life...Dwayne Johnson has nothing to do with anything and no matter how many people want him to will never run for office. He would be a better leader than Trumpo the clown and his red hat mentally deficient minions.
Cheers with Gatorade!
I feel like it would be more like Kanye running (and winning)
@@mmyers6441 it had electrolytes!
Must be part of the film actors guild.
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.
Along with "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle", IODICROCITY and TEAM AMERICA are my favorite "I need to laugh" movies!
I saw Office Space on opening night. If I knew Idiocracy even existed, I would have seen it in theaters as well.
Idiocracy wasn't a comedy, it was a warning.
Thanks Brad, Dave, and Jeremy. This was great.
This is why science fiction is my favorite genre, sometimes they get close to concepts that will be important in the future.
Sometimes too close...
Office space is one of the best comedies of all time.. me and my friends quote it constantly lol.. my boss called me into his office the other day and as soon as I walked in I asked him if he got the TPS reports and he died laughing
Idiocracy is one of the best movies ever. Might be a absurdist comedy but it is like a documentary showing the future (and present) of humans.
The funny thing about idiocracy is people like to cite it and not realize that they're probably contributing to that future.
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.
I'm glad they brought up that tid bit about crocs. It really speaks to how prophetic this movie actually is. We truly are an idiocracy.
Bikini baristas popping up everywhere had me realizing how Judge was just a couple shades off from where society was going.
Swingline didn't make a red stapler until office space was made and they kept getting calls asking for one.
Fascinating.
FASCINATING.🙄
I have to call BS
GreRt comment tho
@@davematkins6829 What's the number?
And now they DO make one. And why not? They make extra money and people have staplers that make then think of Milton and Office Space.
Hearing of the influence of Kubrick makes me wonder why Idiocracy wasn't titled 3001: An Idiodyssey
Great title for a sequel
I’m willing to bet that sequel wouldn’t be received so well because of how good the first movie is
thanks for making this video
I grew up with Thunderbirds and knew that the sets and puppetry were an awsome undertaking.
They smashed it with Team America. On so many levels a brilliant and hysterical movie.
I cannot stress how many times I’ve quoted Idiocracy. One of the greatest comedies of all time.
I remember forcing my friends to watch idiocracy in 07. Criminally underrated movie.
This popped up at a theater near me when it released. I was in the military and we all went to see it a ton.
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.
We owe these men a debt of gratitude for these two perfect comedies.
This is one of the greatest movies ever made.
It's scary that this movie is becoming reality today.
"We need a new DP guys"
"Where the heck are we going to find a donkey puncher at this time of night?"
Alright, you got my subscription. This was great.
This Post,..."Has Electrolytes!"
This was amazing lol! It made me rewatch all those movies again. Comedy that goes over the heads of most people is the best
Two hilarious movies (and thanks for the hint on 'Extract', just bought while your review :-D) that made me laugh a lot.
I screamed out loud YES! when I heard that "Book of Mormon" is the next Parker and Stone movie. I've been waiting for it to happen. HELLO!
I was in middle school when I saw the trailer for Office Space... and then I went to the theater and they let me into watch the R rated movie. It's still one of my favorite movies. Idiocracy, on the other hand, is also one of my favorite movies, as it kind of reflects our society.
Thank you for this.
office space was a catharsis of employment misery. I sincerely doubt that anything could be done to make it better than it's already epic status.
The courtroom scene in 'Idiocracy' is one of the best-written and funniest sequences in cinematic history.
That recent Beavis and Butthead SNL sketch, I wish he'd had cameo in it
This was an excellent insight and background
I had never heard of Idiocracy till this video, I'm downloading it now :)
Idiocracy is easily one of my most favorite movies. Despite all the toilet humor, it really is a terrifying prospect.
Nicely done. Good writing, etc. Team America is one of my favorite fillums.
Great video. Thank you ! Team Am was perfect.
As big fan of these movies and also how art predicts reality. The movie
'stay tuned ' is a must watch.
It was also ahead of it time.
Dunkin removing "Donuts" from its name immediately reminded me of "Idiocracy".
What does Dunkin even mean on its own? Is it what plants crave?
Two of my favorite movies of all time. I just hope Robert Rodriguez pulls a Machete and releases a feature length ASS! 😅🎉😂
I wanted to watch Team America for a very long time then I finally turned 18 and my dad let me use his dvd problem being he didn’t realize it was the unrated version which made for a very awkward stare at eachother
I really liked BB and King of the Hill, so when I saw Mike Judge had mad a live action film, I downloaded without even knowing what it was and loved it. I think it had maybe been out a year or so when I 1st watched it, and have watched it a few times since.
My roommate in college looked like Milton. Talk to the guy and he vented off about everything.
Once we were watching MTV and the Metallica video The Unforgiven
Walking by he said what is this? then went on a tirade about the video making fun of US POWs.
I sat there in stunned silence.
I think it's a masterpiece...the best thing you guys have done ..watched it many times!! giving king Jon U the most beautiful song out of the whole movie ...black cats used as Panthers bill pope doing the action blowups I'd say it's one of my favourite action comedy meets Thunderbirds ..well it's the only puppet action comedy I've seen ..but if there was someone that would take something like this on again I'd be the yobbo saying don't forget team America .!!!😂❤😊😅
I taught a college Business Communications class and made Office Space required viewing.
Both of these movies are national treasures.
What happened to LUKE WILSON?
His career never went anywhere because he made ALOT of garbage.
@@lutherheggs451 "Luke Wilson is an American actor, director, and screenwriter who has a net worth of $50 million dollars." Poor guy!
Ive always said Idiocracy is like a prophetic documentary.
1:20 Looks like a homage to a Norman Rockwell painting. Well done too.
My husband and I constantly reference idiocracy to current events.
I've seen all of these movies and they are all in my top comedy list! Team America is a masterpiece.
Most people don't know the same company that made the energy drink Cocaine, Redux Beverages, made Brawndo IRL. I bought two flats of it and it was the BEST drink I've ever had! If I had one wish, it would be for all the people of the world to join together in peace and harmony. If I had two wishes, the second would be to restart Brawndo production. I didn't even save any cans!
I new I was watching something special and different when I rented this one back in the day. It gets more relevant the more time passes.
I just couldn't get into Team America. Idky, just couldn't 😂.
Have you watched it since it came out? Interesting movie to revisit
@@JoBloOriginalsI'm gonna have to give it another try.
I'm the same. Maybe I'll try watching it again.
@@AceGoodheart Yeah I think it was the dolls. 🤣 They just didn't work for me. I don't think there has ever been a movie like that and I could see why.
Yo eat some shrooms and watch it lol
"Team America" is one of my guilty pleasures.
You can argue that we are already living in Idiocracy, but we probably have 2-3 generations left to go.
people in a theater laughing at nothing but bare ass flatulence truly a worthy cultural experiment
Frog Baseball, first seen at Spike & Mikes Sick and Twisted animation festival. Which traveled the country, in the old days of the early 1990s
I recently rewatched idiocracy, and I giggle every time I see a Starbucks now 😂 "Gentleman's Latte".
Matt and Trey are geniuses, and Team America is by far the best thing they've ever done. I hope they know that when they look back at the struggle.
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.
Gary of the Nerdrotic channel frequently refers to them as the Film Actors Guild
Film Actors Guild had overtaken Screen Actors Guild decades ago. I have to be reminded it's not Film.
Thats why everybody loved ricky gervais for his golden globes bits
Speaking out of close experiences with multiple narcissists I can say its a perfect vocation for those with the personality disorder, it really fits them perfectly, they are paid for lying and pretending, something narcissists do naturally on a daily base.
Everyone here... How's that Fascist boot taste? Chocolate? Pork? It's goita be good cuz ya'lls lips never leave it.
Mike Judge had no idea he was filming a documentary !
The best documentary ever made.
Idiocracy is the greatest American movie since Citizen Kane.
Agreed
The lack of advertising thing happened to Carpenter’s “Big Trouble in Little China” as well, for different reasons and it too went off and became a cult classic.
Just goes to show how little executives know about the industry they are employed in.
