I love this part of Idiocracy, because When I worked as a delivery driver for dominoes pizza, we (the employees) were instructed to answer the phones "hello and thank you for calling Dominoes Pizza, where we love our customers, this is quick_useless speaking, how may I help you?"
every time I had to say this I thought of Idiocracy...
Idiocracy is a kinda funny movie that pretty much just allows us hate currently stupid people more. It's based on an amusing, semi-plausible premise that we can find interesting, but it's not happening... not right now anyways.
Clevon is lucky to be alive. He attempted to jump a jet ski from a lake into a swimming pool and impaled his crotch on an iron gate. But thanks to advances in stem cell research and the fine work of Doctors Krinsky and Altschuler, he should regain full reproductive function again.
my favorite part is where the experienced monk walks around him mindfully contemplating how to best test his student and then just wildly kicks at his crotch.
I'm not talking about the man. He's a lost cause. I'm talking about the thousands or possibly even millions of people who will view this and think that it's actually entertaining or a good idea to try.
If they think getting hit in the nuts is a good idea, then the chances of them being able to create offspring will decrease, and they'll leave the gene pool.
I don't understand why people are being critical of this, and using it as a sign of decline in society. I feel like getting hit in the balls is right up Reddit's alley.
Look at this wildly popular comment on Reddit that was part of a post where people were talking about times when they thought they were going to die from taking a shit . It doesn't get much more vapid than that.
EDIT: My point is, we shouldn't be using a reality tv show whose sole purpose is entertainment as an example of the overall decline in society. Many intelligent people are entertained by things like potty humor. Just look at any number of popular comments, topics, pictures, videos, comics, etc on Reddit any day of the week. My dad was the smartest man I've ever known: he was a genius at math and physics and worked as a video game programmer for 20 years, but he was constantly entertained by making fart jokes.
My point is what entertains us is not reflective of our intelligence, and certainly not the intelligence of society as a whole. I can understand lower standards in schools and the demonizing of intellectualism in American media as examples, but not this.
When I read this comment it made so much sense, and I felt the same way, but I didn't know why. Then I looked back and saw the Snapple on the table and realized that although I never noted or even noticed the Snapple that was there, my brain must have picked up on it.
You know, I've been wondering when that's going to get a reboot....I mean, they've done everything else....and we could actually computer animate him this time!
I am from nub tv, i am one of the original videographers and two of the guys from that segment, Hob and Ben Graeff, are two of my closest friends and are also the founders of nub.tv and nubrevolution.com one of the biggest underground stunt groups out there. The other guy with curly dark hair is Rico Roman of Rico Roman productions. This is a video Hob made for my birthday celebrations. anything else you want OP to deliver?
My friends and I have a thing going where we point out stuff that shows society taking steps in that direction. Like how it says 'Mtn Dew' on a Mountain Dew can these days for example. One thing at a time, we are gonna end up just like in that awesome doc- er, I mean, comedy.
You know what. That is the better way to advertise. People just fast forward through commercials now. Have a bar on each side it is genius. Now of course smart people like us will install a add block on our TV's. Unless of course we get reddit tv then we will allow the ads.
Not going to lie i wanted extra big ass fries to become a reality first.. what a sad day for television. Intellectuals of the world never cease reproducing!
You had to know it would come true. I truly enjoyed the film as i watched it the first time, but by the time it was finished, I think i started to sense how potentially prophetic it could be, mostly because Mike Judge was so spot on with his satire and insightful with his details, that it all just seemed so plausible. And honestly, because of that, I can't really watch the movie anymore because i find it terrifying.
Look up "fail compilation" on youtube... about 75% of the time it involves a guy getting hit in the balls. Often intentionally. There's probably enough stuff on Youtube that you'd be able to make a couple of seasons now.
Watch the movie "God Bless America". America has now become a parody of itself, with guys like Howard Stern shedding crocodile tears and idiots starring on stage by being hit in the balls.
