Idiocracy is a 2006 American sci-fi comedy film. In 2005, U.S. Army librarian Joe Bauers is selected for a government hibernation experiment as the "most average individual" in the entire military. Lacking a suitable female candidate, the military hires prostitute Rita by paying off her pimp Upgrayedd. When the officer in charge is arrested for running his own prostitution ring under Upgrayedd's tutelage, the experiment is forgotten about. Over the next several hundred years, societal expectations and technological advances lead the most intelligent humans to go childless, while the least intelligent reproduce indiscriminately and create increasingly dumber generations... Five hundred years later, Bauers and Rita's hibernation chambers are unearthed. Bauers crashes into the apartment of Frito Pendejo. He wanders around what was once Washington, D.C., and finds a population that has become profoundly anti-intellectual, speaking only low registers of English and wallowing in overconsumption and low-brow pop culture. Despite advances in technology, innovations are driven by garish commercialism or extreme simplicity. Believing that he is hallucinating after a year of hibernation, Bauers enters a hospital and realizes the truth. Arrested for not having a bar code tattoo to pay for his doctor's appointment, he is sent to prison after the grossly incompetent Pendejo acts as his lawyer.
