    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.

          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.
