It was set in 2505.

5. That's because even the writer,

Mike Judge most likely couldn't have possibly imagined that such absolute LUNACY could've come about a mere 25 years after he wrote it.

3. There was a very good one I watched several years ago called The Brainwashing of My Dad

It's dated now because most of it takes place during Obama's first term, but the message is still the same.

It breaks down how the right wing media infrastructure brainwashes viewers and radicalizes them, and the person who films the documentary uses her dad as the main example throughout. When they cut him off from the propaganda, he slowly returns to normal over time.

4. I watched it back in 2011 or so.

I was in a deep, depressed daze for a week after I watched it. I was shocked that it was billed as a comedy. It just seemed so unutterably bleak and depressing. I thought it was a jaundiced satire of life in the GW Bush Era. I had no idea that it would be predictive, and still in front of us with no end in sight.

I'm never watching it again. Not when we have the nightly news...

10. Well...there IS a TV show called the "Quiz with BALLS!!" now...

My daughter (27) thinks its the funniest thing ever. (SMFH!!!)
At least her younger sisters (20 and 18) have told her she's an idiot for that... not a total failure as a dad (yet)...

8. The difference is...

in 2505 they asked the smartest guy in the world to solve their problems, not the dumbest
