I disagree in that I think the movie is hilarious, but I dunno man, there are way too many people in forums like this declaring "Idiocracy was a documentary" so they can feel smart for a moment.
If you watch interviews of Mike Judge talking about it, none of that is the direction he wanted the message of the movie to go. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way" is the theme he wanted. Putting a common man in a situation where they are in a position to do something is what it's supposed to be about.
