"As long as you're paying your taxes and being a moderately responsible citizen, there's really no reason to be an adult." I need to frame that quote and hang it on my wall.

[tlgibson]

Camacho may have been over the top but he DID want to solve problems and make life better for everyone. He was smart enough to listen to someone smarter than him and make decisions. Problems did get solved and life got better so it's hard to say he was a bad president.

[marval]

Idiocrasy went from one of the best comedies to one of the best documentaries.

[captainslam]

Camacho was a great president in the movie. He recognized things needed to change and made it happen. He empowered the right people to be leaders.

Idiocracy is on my top 10 fav movies. When it came out it was a comedy but now it's a horror story because it is so true!

[jfjkdkjfj]

Teachers and parents told me basicly the same thing and it killed a perfect career for me. I always goofed around outside of school, and some inside school, but never realized it was a career. No teacher ever said, You should try acting or comedy. I just got punished for being myself. I tried regular jobs for 40 years and they ALL SUCKED! Then I was in an independent movie. I had a small part, but it was so fun and I realized THIS is what I want to do!!! So now I'm in my low 60s starting my new career as a professional goof in comedy entertainment.

[sashakelemen]

Camacho gave the smartest guy on the planet an important job.

I think that silliness is such an asset to have in life. When those awful situations happen, which come for all of us, we need to have that ability to cope

[brycemcneil]

1:42 Someone on social media pointed it out, I can't remember who (heck, maybe it was Luke) that Camacho had a key ingredient to being a good President that others lacked where he *knew he didn't know things*. He seeks out Bauers' help because he doesn't know if he's an expert but he knows that Bauers at least knows better than anyone else around. Such a simple quality and I guess part of the joke is that we could devolve to a time where that taken-for-granted quality becomes extraordinary.

BIGGEST PREDICTION - The Morons were getting all their news from "Fox News" in the movie. The film was made way back in 2006.

[MrDrPatrick]

This was one of my favorite episodes this year. Luke Wilson and Conan were just on a roll the entire time

[Scruffy-Janitor]

This was one of my middle school movies that was always on during sleepovers. Same with “without a paddle”, and “the pick of destiny”. Some of my favorite feel good movies.

[ROOKTABULA]

As an educator watching the awareness of the world and the resistance to work and things that are "no fun" progress year over year, Idiocracy was clearly a window into the future.

[googelle]

3:34 This immediately made me think of "Everything's coming up Milhouse!"
lol

[JJ-mprg]

My favorite background thing was the clocks. They were always flashing 12:00 because no one knew how to change the time on them. That was every VCR in America during the entirety of the 90’s.

[tinkersjr]

In that very picture there is my favourite element too: there is a car which drives down from the broken highway into a heap of cars. They were just drivin’ around you know...

[Gayathri]

Great guest...great episode!

The outtro of this episode is epic..I can't wait for the video!

[originalbukatv]

That last quote by Conan is something I needed to hear as a young boy! WOW! 😯😯

[mattdemo]

Talkin to yourself isn't crazy, that's just thinking out loud,
but having a full-on conversation with someone that's not even there right next to you is crazy😂

[grippk]

As a generally pretty funny kid in middle school, and then into high school - I definitely resonate with the "stop doing that, you're crazy" regarding being funny. So much so that I was placed in classes called "behavioral disorder" classes; I wasn't violent, or anything of the sort - I was just funny in class. Isn't the public school system great in the US? Label a kid as having a behavioral disorder instead of "oh, this kids funny, maybe have some creative outlet for him".

Anyway. I'm in IT now. Still funny. No I won't fix your computer.
