Fuck
Idiocracy went from funny because it’s so unbelievable. To unfunny because it’s too real. But now it’s starting to get unbelievable again as it portrays a future that’s too good to be true.
Will that make it funny again?
I don't know how to tell you, but it was always very believable.
Like everything apart from them choosing the smartest guy in the room was very spot on.
the only problem with it was the weird eugenicsy angle it had. You don't need to "breed dumber people" if you just brainwash all but the top .01%.
I don't remember any 'breeding', wasn't it just that smart people refused to have any children?
And now that I think about it, the biggest problem with idiocracy is that they survived that far into the future... cause we don't have that long as a society ahead of us.
I suppose I was naive in my youth.
