One problem with satire (or cynicism in general) is that it's a cheap way to feel smart about one's self. Idiocracy really seems to have been designed to encourage this in people. However, the movie is divided into two parts, the first five minutes and the next eighty-five. The first part is basically an advertisement for eugenics, and the rest is slapstick. People always feel smart because they "get" the second part.
