Idiocracy is now

No no no. I'm not talking about president comacho. 
 

it's oww my balls  Which this guy has done. https://www.kickedinthenuts.com/full-episodes-1

That movie was supposed to be a comedy, not a how-to video.

By that metric, Idiocracy was 2003:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2392696/

By some metrics we're well on the way to replicating the world of idiocracy (putting dumb AIs in charge of everything) and by others we're already past there - Dwayne E.M.D.H Camacho was not that bad, and could easily do a better job than a lot of today's somewhat more intelligent but meaner and all-around E36 M3tier politicians who engage in culture war politics and don't value expertise and evidence like Camacho did.

I was gonna put this in the meme thread. But.

The whole premise of that movie is spot on. The dumb people having a million kids(nick cannon) and the smart ones not (current birth rates)

anyways. I wasn't trying to stir the pot. Just have some stupid Friday fun with a dumb ball kicking website. 

It is a great movie, so is Wall-e. No political statement on my part because the leadership is just a side bit in the commentary that as people get dumber and more comfortable with it things degrade. In my opinion Entropy is not just a heat transfer term. If you don't put work into something it degrades.

Beyond Commacho having some legitimate leadership skill, if the duct taped building looked stupid, imagine what it would take to pull that off in real life. The shear strength on that tape would need to be unbelievably high, you'd need to have a way to stabilize the collapsing building while strapping it with tape, and you would have a very short time after the disaster started to get all your equipment on site and stabilize the building.

Also, they found a way to fix the tax code and simplify it to the point that tax preparation services have had to find other business, they have no problem understanding Joe even though his language would be our equivalent of a century before Shakespeare, and it also looks like selling comically overpriced coffee is no longer a viable business model. And their theme park history ride isn't much worse than our pop culture understand of Rennaisance era history if you assume the dinosaurs are meant ironically. That future clearly has more smart people in the background than they're letting on.

Fiberfix tape maybe?

I assumed that the things that seemed to need extraordinary intelligence by the standards of the time were run by AIs like the ones that run the fast-food stores, prison admittance system etc...showing WW2 as American and Nazi dinosaurs fighting could be a consequence of Model Autophagy Disorder. Maybe that's what's on their version of AI-curated Wikipedia at the time.

I was watching facebook reels over a shoulder and almost yelled "That's OW my balls!".  Ideocracy was prophecy.

It started with Crocs. 

I'm looking forward to Monday Night Rehabilitation.

Kicked in the Nuts came out of Channel 101 back in the early aughts, which also gave us the Yacht Rock mockumentary that literally coined the term, revived the genre and with it the careers of many of the artists. Channel 101 grew out of an alt-comedy live show showcasing short video and multimedia clips in LA. They eventually lost their venue and decided to give the internet a whirl.

Harmo and Schrab went on to create and/or produce more than a few things you ay have heard of, like Community, The Sarah Silverman Program and Rick & Morty.
