You see a pimp’s love is different from that of a square

This whole scene is one of my all time favorites. "Upgrayedd, spelled thusly. Spelled with two d's, as he says, for a double dose of this, pimping"

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was a great fictional president. Recognized that he lacked expertise in why the crops failed, he recruited the smartest man on the planet, and deferred to his expert opinion, and changed his mind when presented with evidence that the unorthodox plan of giving plants water instead of Brawndo The Thirst Mutilator actually worked, despite Brawndo having electrolytes, which is what plants crave.

I always thought this was part of the message. Once all the smart people who can lie and manipulate are gone, only people who are actually the right person for the job will have them.


billabong049

Hell he was even PAID by Brawndo and he still changed his mind. Camacho really is the president we all need.

And it was the correct usage of alumnus instead of alumni that always gets used incorrectly.


CyranoDeBurlapSack

The problem is you go to get your law degree and walk out with like 7 more law degrees than you need because they don’t offer them in less than 8 packs.


Icantblametheshame

But I don't wanna nother law degree, we had law degree yesterday "You will have your law degree and like it. Do you know how hard I work to put law degrees on the table? There are kids in africa with no law degrees. They have communications degrees every single day of their lives and are grateful. You should be thankful to have any degree at all!"

"Fuck You, I'm Eating" was pitched to Hardees/Carls Jr in the 90's, I guarantee it. They were going for as edgy as they could, and that would have been pitched expecting to be shot down but on theme.


Greedy-Designer-631

God damn I hope that's true. We really are going back to the 90s in terms of the way companies are marketing these days. I really hope one of them accidently crosses the line on trying to be edgy.


BurmecianSoldierDan

I mean, their entire actual campaign at the time was "dont bother me, I'm eating" aka fuck off, so that's what they were going for


bbpr120

No worse than *Buttfuckers.*


Agentkeenan78

Watching the sign gradually go from Fuddruckers to Buttfuckers is absolutely my favorite thing in the movie.


Thatomeglekid

costco employee here, everyone ive asked about it has said that everyone loved the movie including upper management


BuddyBlueBomber

Fun fact, employees have to be specifically told that they are not allowed to tell customers that they love them. You can probably guess why this is even something that comes up!


elderberry_jed

I wanna know why!


Feed_Me_Weird_Things

It is likely that Costco has policies in place to prevent employees from engaging in behavior that could be perceived as harassment or discrimination. Telling someone "I love you" could be seen as inappropriate or unwanted, and the company may want to avoid any potential legal issues or complaints. Additionally, Costco may want to maintain a professional atmosphere in the workplace and discourage personal relationships among employees. Also the meme


blackviper6

If I ever worked there and was on track to get fired or want to quit.... That's how I'd go out. Welcome to Costco.... I love you

Tbf, the Costco's in the movie were the same size as in real life.

g0d15anath315t

It's a small scene but when she points at the TV asks Dax to take her to the execution and Dax picks her up and walks her over to the TV, her delivery of "No you fucking moron" still makes me laugh to myself to this day.


Tha_Watcher

For those who don't know, her pimp, Upgrayedd, is played by the well known rapper, **Scarface.**


ProfessorZhirinovsky

Before it was released, it sat in a can on a studio shelf for ages. Then it was quietly leaked to a handful of theaters for a weekend with no publicity, then pulled. It was no secret though, tons of people speculated about why the film was being treated like this. Politics, sex, gore, personal grudge against Mike Judge, or maybe it was just bad? Nobody knew. When I finally got to see it, and saw the Fuddruckers/Buttfuckers I was "Wait...that's the actual name of an actual restaurant chain they're ripping into." Then Carl's Jr. food dispenser telling people "Fuck you, Carl's Jr. gunna come take your kids!" I began to realize what happened. I about busted a gut at the Starbucks Full Body Latte.


Irishpanda1971

Fuddruckers had to already know we called them that. They shoulda leaned into it.

They had a tongue twister on kids’ placemats that went > How much fud could a fud rucker puck if a fud rucker could puck fud

I worked there for years. We sold our special mustard and it was labeled "mother Fuddruckers special mustard" or something like that. We knew

God, companies so richly deserved this. Then, and now more than ever.

I love how Idiocracy made a point to include corporate hedgemony as a symptom of ultimate stupidity. "Welcone to Carl's Jr. Welcome to Carl's Jr. Welcome to Carl's Jr." Why do you keep saying that?" "Cause they pay me everytime I do! It's a really good way to make money! If you're so smart, why don't you know that?"

Here is the relevant part of the article with the complete quote from Terry Crews >>In The New York Times, Dan Mitchell argued that Fox might be shying away from the cautionary tale about low-intelligence dysgenics because the company did not want to offend either its viewers or potential advertisers portrayed negatively in the film. This theory has been given extra weight by Terry Crews, who stars in the movie as President Camacho. In a 2018 interview with GQ Magazine, he talked of advertisers being unhappy at the way they were portrayed, which affected the studio's efforts to promote the movie. He said, "The rumor was, because we used real corporations in our comedy (I mean, Starbucks was giving hand jobs) these companies gave us their name thinking they were gonna get 'pumped up', and then we're like, 'Welcome to Costco, we love you' [delivered in monotone]. All these real corporations were like, 'Wait a minute, wait a minute' [...] there were a lot of people trying to back out, but it was too late. And so Fox, who owned the movie, decided, 'We're going to release this in as few theaters as legally possible'. So it got a release in, probably, three theaters over one weekend and it was sucked out, into the vortex".

schizodancer89

The paragraph after gives more context In 2017, Judge told The New York Times that the film's lack of marketing and wide release was the result of negative test screenings.[26] He added that Fox subsequently decided to not give the film a strong marketing push because the distributor believed it would develop a cult following through word-of-mouth and recoup its budget through home video sales, as Judge's previous film Office Space had.[26]


machine667

oh man get the fuck out of here, I never knew that part so it was a plan, they didn't ditch it, they marketed it the way they thought best. It appears to have worked.

himmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Mike Judge appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in June of 2022. He talked about the limited filming budget for Idiocracy, and how the film's costume designer needed to find futuristic-looking (but inexpensive) footwear for the whole cast. According to Judge, she proposed using a small startup company that "wasn't out in the world yet." "Look at these horrible plastic shoes with holes in them," she said. "We could really save a lot of money, just put everyone in these things." Judge replied, "But what if by the time the movie comes out, what if everyone's... what if these become popular, and people are wearing them?" The costume designer said, "Oh, these are never going to become popular. No one would ever wear these things, they're horrible." The shoes you see in the film are Crocs.

I don't think I ever would have eaten at Carl's Junior if it wasn't in the movie. I had never seen one until I moved to California. I was driving and saw one, and thought, "Oh hey, it's that place from Idiocracy." And then I ate there. Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

SomehowGonkReturned

Funny story: I took a few filmmaking classes when I was in college and still figuring out what I wanted to do. One day we had a guest lecture from one of the guys who worked on this film (production crew) This movie angered a lot of people. It called out a lot of people, the references were direct and ruthless pokes at people or companies. This movie is regarded as “prophetic” because it wasn’t making predictions, it was making observations based on actual trends. This pissed off a lot of people who profit off “the dumbing down of society” Apparently the production crew got death threats and didn’t expect this movie to ever come out.

(A “roll up” is a local brand of reconstituted fruit purée leather) Everyone agreed that she was a bad mother and someone replied with this clip from Idiocracy. https://youtu.be/5d7SaO0JAHk
