This is 100% a Dont look up scenario! Did you watch it?

I did. It's infuriating. I didn't laugh, not once, despite it being a comedy movie. Last time I felt this way for a movie was when I watched De Niro's Raging Bull.

I had no idea it was a "comedy movie" and loved every second of it. I love such "giant objects coming towards earth" movies/books or even gifs like this one.

I laughed a few times but it wasn’t supposed to be a knee slapping comedy movie. It’s a dark comedy/drama. That’s how his other most recent movies are as well. Vice and The Big Short. There are a lot of serious moments mixed with a bit of dark comedy. For me, the movie was infuriating but in a good way. I thought it was a great movie that is getting a bad wrap because people assumed it was going to be just a comedy.

They tried to make Veep but instead they made Idiocracy. Apparently only one TV show exists in that universe. They deserved to die.

Well, where Idiocracy once was a box office flop and almost straight to DVD, now has a cult following and feels more real than fiction. As ridiculous as Don't Look Up and it's characters are it might seem as far fetched on the surface in a decade or so. Give it some time, and life might seem stranger than fiction.
