My appreciation for Idiocracy is entirely contingent upon this film, which establishes Mike Judge’s aesthetic of parodic brand saturation. The first morning following his life-changing hypnosis, Peter brazenly enters a Chotchkies and asks Joanna, the server he’s been eyeing, on a date—which will either occur at a Chili’s or a Flinger’s depending on her decision.

Five hundred years later, I only imagine it growing more obnoxious and the crap even crazier.
