This movie has become a cult classic on online forums as reddit users discuss the state of the world. I came into this movie with hopes that it would be a prescient foretelling of the state of the world and the death of intellectual curiosity. While I was hooked by the premise of a society getting dumber over time, I feel they ultimately exhausted much of this hook in the introduction to the movie. As the movie progressed, it revealed its true self - a quotable but ultimately low-brow movie that relies on the same tropes that it critiques.
Between giant dildo cars and people getting kicked in the balls, there were some funny moments that I found to draw parallels to the modern days. The poisoning of crops by Brawndo reminds me of multiple corporate scandals where baby formula or water was replaced with some corporate concoction that ultimately made life worse for consumers. I think these moments poke fun at the situation in a digestible way. That said, I think these insights were overshadowed by the stupidity of the humor which seems to be making fun of the stupefaction of society while relying on the same type of humor for cheap laughs. Aside from the introduction and quotable phrases ("It's what the plants crave!"), I ultimately think the sophomoric humor strongly overpowers and sort of intrigue or commentary that the movie tries to offer.

Mike Judge’s 2006 film Idiocracy has shifted from an outrageous, dystopian satire into an eerily accurate reflection of modern society. What was originally an exaggerated projection of the implausible future has become a relatable reality in just two decades.
The premise of Idiocracy is that high IQ people stopped reproducing, becoming an endangered species, allowing the low IQ people to take control over society.
It has become obvious now that the elite are idiot savants, holding onto power through a monopoly on wealth and government, and public compliance due to ignorance and apathy.
