00:00:00.036 --> 00:00:05.866
>> As the 21st century began, human
evolution was at a turning point.

00:00:05.866 --> 00:00:12.786
Natural selection -- the process by which the
strongest, the smartest, the fastest reproduced

00:00:12.786 --> 00:00:17.826
in greater numbers than the rest, a process
which had once favored the noblest traits

00:00:17.826 --> 00:00:21.426
of man -- now began to favor different traits.

00:00:21.426 --> 00:00:24.916
Most science fiction of the
day predicted a future

00:00:24.916 --> 00:00:28.246
that was more civilized and more intelligent.

00:00:28.246 --> 00:00:31.356
But, as time went on, things
seemed to be heading

00:00:31.356 --> 00:00:34.966
in the opposite direction: a dumbing down.

00:00:35.216 --> 00:00:36.186
How did this happen?

00:00:36.186 --> 00:00:39.516
Evolution does not necessarily
reward intelligence.

00:00:39.516 --> 00:00:44.726
With no natural predators to thin the
herd, it began to simply reward those

00:00:44.726 --> 00:00:49.626
who reproduced the most and left the
intelligent to become an endangered species.

00:00:50.756 --> 00:00:54.266
>> Having kids is such an important decision.

00:00:55.136 --> 00:00:56.656
>> We're just waiting for the right time.

00:00:56.966 --> 00:00:59.356
It's not something you want
to rush into, obviously.

00:00:59.476 --> 00:00:59.826
>> No way.

00:01:01.526 --> 00:01:03.396
>> Oh, shit, I'm pregnant again.

00:01:03.856 --> 00:01:06.286
>> Shit! I got too many damn kids!

00:01:06.926 --> 00:01:08.266
Thought you was on the pill or some shit.

00:01:08.356 --> 00:01:09.716
>> Hell, no.

00:01:09.856 --> 00:01:09.946
>> Shit!

00:01:10.356 --> 00:01:11.396
I must've been thinking of Brittany..

00:01:11.536 --> 00:01:12.286
>> Brittany?

00:01:12.396 --> 00:01:13.056
No, you didn't!

00:01:14.546 --> 00:01:16.216
>> There's no way we could have a child now.

00:01:16.946 --> 00:01:18.386
Not with the market the way it is, no.

00:01:18.676 --> 00:01:20.846
>> That just wouldn't make any sense.

00:01:21.526 --> 00:01:22.876
>> Come on over here, bitch.

00:01:22.876 --> 00:01:23.886
He don't care about you.

00:01:23.886 --> 00:01:26.496
>> Yeah? Well, there must be
something he likes over here.

00:01:27.076 --> 00:01:28.296
>> She don't mean nothing to me, baby.

00:01:28.296 --> 00:01:28.976
>> Clevon!

00:01:29.226 --> 00:01:29.516
>> Oh, shit.

00:01:29.696 --> 00:01:30.436
It wasn't me!

00:01:30.746 --> 00:01:31.606
It wasn't me!

00:01:33.786 --> 00:01:36.006
>> Well, we finally decided to have children,

00:01:36.186 --> 00:01:39.176
and I'm not pointing fingers,
but it's not going well.

00:01:40.666 --> 00:01:41.566
>> And this is helping.

00:01:42.206 --> 00:01:45.146
>> I'm just saying that before I have in
vitro, maybe you should be willing to --

00:01:45.146 --> 00:01:46.436
>> It's always me, right?

00:01:47.296 --> 00:01:49.236
>> Well, it's not my sperm count.

00:01:49.916 --> 00:01:50.896
>> Yeah! Yeah!

00:01:51.376 --> 00:01:53.006
I'm going to fuck all of y'all.

00:01:53.216 --> 00:01:54.706
>> That's my boy!

00:01:59.316 --> 00:02:00.716
>> Clevon is lucky to be alive.

00:02:01.046 --> 00:02:03.846
He attempted to jump a Jet Ski
from a lake into a swimming pool

00:02:03.846 --> 00:02:05.406
and impaled his crotch on an iron gate.

00:02:06.296 --> 00:02:10.216
But thanks to recent advances in stem cell
research and the fine work of Doctors Krinski

00:02:10.216 --> 00:02:13.196
and Altschuler, Clevon should
regain full reproductive function.

00:02:13.196 --> 00:02:15.976
>> Get your hands off my junk!

00:02:19.046 --> 00:02:24.416
>> Unfortunately, Trevor passed away
from a heart attack while masturbating

00:02:24.416 --> 00:02:26.846
to produce sperm for artificial insemination.

00:02:26.896 --> 00:02:32.976
But I have some eggs frozen, so just as soon
as the right guy comes along, you know --

00:02:37.056 --> 00:02:41.776
>> And so it went for generations,
although few, if any, seemed to notice.

00:02:44.256 --> 00:02:48.566
>> At the dawn of the 21st century,
the Army began a top-secret experiment.

00:02:48.816 --> 00:02:52.706
>> Meet Joe Bauers, our first subject
for the Human Hibernation Experiment.

00:02:52.706 --> 00:02:54.516
As you know, this is highly classified.

00:02:54.636 --> 00:02:58.846
However, if successful, we believe
humans can be stored indefinitely.

00:02:58.906 --> 00:03:02.016
>> However, the trial run
was prone to human error.

00:03:02.186 --> 00:03:03.086
>> See you in a year.

00:03:03.196 --> 00:03:05.636
>> And Joe slept slightly longer than expected.

00:03:06.046 --> 00:03:08.616
Half a millennium, to be exact.

00:03:08.986 --> 00:03:12.796
>> From Mike Judge, creator of "Office
Space" and "Beavis and Butt-Head."

00:03:12.796 --> 00:03:13.366
>> Oh, my God!

00:03:13.526 --> 00:03:13.776
Ha!

00:03:13.896 --> 00:03:14.066
>> Ha!

00:03:14.066 --> 00:03:14.156
>> Ha!

00:03:14.156 --> 00:03:14.276
>> Ha!

00:03:14.806 --> 00:03:14.996
>> Ha!

00:03:16.166 --> 00:03:18.306
>> If you were the smartest
person in the world --

00:03:18.966 --> 00:03:19.696
>> This goes in your mouth.

00:03:20.506 --> 00:03:21.496
This one goes in your butt.

00:03:22.406 --> 00:03:23.036
Hang on a second.

00:03:23.906 --> 00:03:26.896
This one -- this one goes in your mouth.

00:03:27.256 --> 00:03:30.316
>> And we're stuck with the
dumbest people in history.

00:03:30.436 --> 00:03:34.006
>> If you have one bucket that
holds two gallons and another bucket

00:03:34.086 --> 00:03:37.956
that holds five gallons, how
many buckets do you have?

00:03:38.416 --> 00:03:39.926
>> Two.

00:03:40.166 --> 00:03:41.476
>> What would you do?

00:03:41.476 --> 00:03:45.266
>> Excuse me, I'm actually supposed
to be getting out of prison.

00:03:46.576 --> 00:03:47.486
>> You're in the wrong line.

00:03:51.056 --> 00:03:52.436
>> I'm the smartest guy in the world?

00:03:52.956 --> 00:03:53.436
Says who?

00:03:53.596 --> 00:03:55.006
>> The IQ test you took in prison.

00:03:55.466 --> 00:03:56.716
You got the highest score in history.

00:03:56.746 --> 00:03:58.256
>> Even smarter than President Camacho.

00:03:58.396 --> 00:04:00.836
>> Ladies and gentlemen,
the president of America!

00:04:00.836 --> 00:04:04.986
>> In the year 2505 --

00:04:04.986 --> 00:04:07.346
>> We got this guy, he's
going to fix everything!

00:04:07.346 --> 00:04:08.366
So you smart, huh?

00:04:08.366 --> 00:04:11.536
>> The ordinary will be considered
extraordinary.

00:04:11.636 --> 00:04:13.066
>> I thought your head would be bigger.

00:04:13.496 --> 00:04:14.446
>> Idiocracy.

00:04:14.756 --> 00:04:17.636
>> For the smartest guy in the
world, you're pretty dumb sometimes.

00:04:18.516 --> 00:04:38.800
