Exactly a decade later, Trump’s pick in 2016 for secretary of labor was Andrew Puzder, former CEO of … Carl’s Jr. He was not wrong: in Idiocracy, the secretary of state is sponsored by the fastfood chain Carl’s Jr. In 2017, Crews said Idiocracy was “ so prophetic in so many ways it scares people”. If I go on Twitter, it's just all day, every day Photograph: Zuna Press/Alamy I hear about Idiocracy a lot. ‘Sort of like now’ … Idiocracy was set in a future dumbed-down America. There are now a million internet quizzes with titles such as: “Who said it: Camacho or Trump?” It tells the story of a man who wakes up from a long coma to find an America that has become ultra-selfish and defiantly anti-intellectual, one in which the people anaesthetise themselves by watching TV shows with titles such as “Ow! My Balls!” Meanwhile, the moronic President Camacho, played by Terry Crews, prances about like a professional wrestler rather than a politician.
“ Those stories about the douchebaggy CEO who walked around barefoot …” he trails off almost longingly.īut these days, it’s Judge’s 2006 film, Idiocracy, that fans cite the most. Judge insists this was the right time but he did feel a pang of regret when he read about the recent debacle with WeWork and realised he couldn’t incorporate the office space startup that lost billions into the show.
The show finished its sixth and final series last year, much to the sadness of Gates and the show’s millions of other fans.
