    Beyond the eugenics and general elitism, my least favorite thing about Idiocracy is that most of its fans seem to think they’re the poor, outbred geniuses when the reality is they just can’t get laid.

    Terry Crews can only carry the burdens of that movie so far.

      Idiocracy is a fascinating movie. The first time i remember it being mentioned online, people were like: haha people are stupid and getting dumber. A few years later when Idiocracy was mentioned, the notion was: actually you didn’t understand the movie, the movie is about mediocrity and people laugh about the dumb people are stupid. Then for two or three years now we seem to be back at: haha the movie is funny because people are getting dumber. But i already see a shift in the Idiocracy force.
