Idiocracy is a 2006 satirical comedy written and directed by Mike Judge, starring Luke Wilson as an average man who wakes up in a dystopian future. The courtroom scene parodies the collapse of justice into entertainment, with the judge rushing through proceedings like a TV show. Clips from the film circulate widely online because its predictions about dumbing-down culture feel increasingly accurate.
