4* Over the years, Fuddruckers' name slowly devolves into... [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1734.JPG exactly what you’re thinking]].
5** At one point, its slogan changes from "World's Greatest Hamburgers" to "Wurrld's Most Kickass Hamburgers".
6* The scene at St. God's Memorial Hospital. You can see people playing slot machines to win free healthcare.
7** The hospital cleaning roomba: "Your floor-(bump)-your floor is now clean!" (repeat).
8** The fact that A: they're too dumb to know any religious figure other than God, so they just named it "St. God's", and B: they were too lazy to [[https://thedroidyourelookingfor.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/2976733183_5cccf5b8ee.jpg put the sign on right]].
9*** Furthermore, memorials are dedicated to dead people, so the name implies that "St. God" is dead. Then again, they may have forgotten that rule too.
10* Dr. Lexus' "diagnosis":
11-->"It says on your chart that you're fucked up, and you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded."
12* The "diagnosis machine", which looks like it used to be part of a car wash, as well as the pictures on it.
13* "Carl's Jr. Fuck you, I'm eating!"
14** Arguably, the entire Carl's Jr. scene qualifies, if only for how much it CrossesTheLineTwice.
15--->"Would you like to try our '''EXTRA BIG-ASS TACO''', now with more '''MOLECULES'''!"
16** Especially since the voiceover (minus the bold parts) is done by Creator/TomKenny, using his [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 Townsville narrator]] voice.
17* Frito's utter incompetence as a lawyer. He turns on his own client because ''the other lawyer said he's guilty'' and objects that above all else, Joe interrupted him while he was watching ''Ow! My Balls!''
18-->'''Narrator''': "(Joe) would soon discover that in the future, Justice was not only blind, but had become rather retarded as well."
19* As Joe takes his intelligence test, the person next to him is also taking one. The big difference is that Joe's is a verbal examination while the next person is doing the "square peg in square hole" test, ''and failing.'' He notices Joe looking at him, and he covers up the board. You know, to make sure that Joe ''isn't cheating off his test.''
20-->'''Computer''': If you have one bucket that holds two gallons, and another bucket that holds five gallons, how many ''buckets'' will you have?\
21'''Joe''': ...2?
22* The "House of Representin'", where President Camacho is introduced like a pro wrestler, and ''is'' a former pro wrestler (and porn star).
23** The president's full name is Dwayne Elizondo [[ProductPlacement Mountain Dew]] Herbert Camacho.
24** He proceeds to fire off half a clip from the Presidential SAW to restore order. The weapon sports the Presidential Seal on the magazine, just in case you forgot who it belonged to.
25** President Camacho's cabinet, including, but not limited to, the Secretary of Energy who looks no older than 13 and ''won a contest to be a cabinet member'', the Secretary of State who ends almost every statement with "Brought to you by Carl's Jr." thinking they pay him every time he says it, and the Secretary of Education who [[TheVoiceless doesn't speak at all]] and behaves more like a gorilla in an enclosure.
26* The RunningGag of Joe being known as "Not Sure" for most of the movie.
27* "Brawndo's got what plants crave!"
28* After all Joe went through, [[ShaggyDogStory it turns out]] that the "Time Masheen" is actually a cheesy, wildly inaccurate historical theme park ride.
29** Frito says he knew it was a ride the whole time, meaning he was ''just'' smart enough to lie by omission when Joe offered a bribe to get him to it... but dumb enough to not grasp that, since Joe said he'd pay Frito by setting up a savings account in his name once he got back to the past and letting the interest build up for 500 years, there would be no way for him to actually get paid since time travel wasn't real.
30* Brawndo: "It's got electrolytes!"
31* In the opening sequence, the army Generals have to watch Collins flick through several slides' worth of photographs of his budding friendship with Upgrayedd, culminating in a photo of Collins out of uniform, surrounded by hookers and in PimpDuds.
32-->'''Horrified General''': Jesus, Collins!
33** "You see, a pimp's love is very different from that of a square."
34* Fox News' description of Joe's trial:
35-->'''Newscaster''': He tried taking water from toilets, but it's Secretary Not Sure who finds himself in the toilet now. And as history pulls down its pants and prepares to lower '''ITS ASS''' on Not Sure's head, it will be Daddy Justice who will be crapping on him '''THIS TIME'''.
36** The courtroom artwork being shown during this segment is priceless. It depicts Joe as a tiny, effeminate crybaby, and the chief judge (the Chief J) as a muscular blonde god-like figure who tore and ripped his own judge robe, laying down the sentence of guilty on Joe.
37** The news anchors being a muscular, shirtless man and a woman in a lingerie corset.
38* The police officer's repeated use of the term "this particular individual".
39** Also, whenever Joe asks a question of the police, he gets maced in the eyes. '''Every time'''.
40* Costco. Seen to be the size of a small city, including a tram system, a ''law school'' and miles of products. One example is a city block worth of space devoted to nothing but red couches.
41** And behind the couches, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent there's a crashed plane and a giant gaping hole in the ceiling.]]
42** On the subject, Frito was a graduate of said Costco Law School. When Joe incredulously asks that Costco has a law school, Frito says even he was surprised. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Apparently his dad went there]] and [[{{Nepotism}} pulled a few strings to let him in.]]
43** "Welcome to Costco, I love you." For bonus points, try ''not'' to say this the next time you go to Costco.
44** How practically any business from Starbucks Coffee to H&R Block have all devolved into brothels. Starbucks offers "Full Body Lattes", H&R Block is home of the "Gentleman's Rebate", while Pollo Borracho has "''adult'' chicken".
45-->'''Joe:''' I could really go for a Starbucks, ya know?\
46'''Frito:''' Yeah, well, I really don't think we have time for a ''handjob'', Joe.
47** When Joe is spotted at Costco, his face is displayed on a large screen above him with 3 captions explaining why he's wanted. They're: 1. "For being a dick." 2. "For ''ex''caping from jail." And 3. "For fucking up lots of shit."
48* The country's #1 movie in 2505 is ''ASS''...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin and that's really all it is]]–'''90 minutes''' of a fixed black-and-white shot showing some dude's buttocks that farts periodically. It would go on to win 8 UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award}}s including "Best Screenplay."[[note]]No word on whether said "screenplay" was original or adapted.[[/note]] Joe is the only one in the audience who isn't laughing hysterically and maintains [[FascinatingEyebrow a confused, derisive expression]]. The fact that this passes as cinema really demonstrates how incredibly dumb civilization had become.
49* Joe being unable to escape from prison like before since they chained him to big rock.
50* During the "Monday Night Rehabilitation" sequence, they bring in [[CompensatingForSomething the Dil-Dozer and Ass-Blaster]] as Joe's opponents, then [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs the Ass-Dozer]]-- only it's [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything too big to fit]] [[AwesomeButImpractical through the arena entrance]]. [[EpicFail The entrance ends up crumbling apart around it]]:
51-->'''Announcer''': Uhh, shit. I-I think it was too big, huh? We seem to be [[{{Malaproper}} experimenting some technomological differences]]. So uhh, shit.
52* [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yez5BembC0Q/WrfTKlos1iI/AAAAAAAAfdY/VIoMCqeVO-k9LXBKf4zDV3IuvUlTwvTOgCLcBGAs/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/idiocracy_currency_by_underbellysenshi-d7uobvv.png The money in the future]] reads "Haulin' Ass, Gettin' Paid" and the face is of some idiot. When she sees it, Rita remarks "WTF, god damn shit's changed in a year."
53* The clock tower has a digital time setting instead of analog hands, flashing a default 12:00 like a busted watch, indicating no one has worked on it for a long time.
54* The DeletedScene with the "Museum of Fart" being a weird combination of an art gallery and history displays only each exhibit has a red button that plays fart noises.
55** The guy responding to Rita looking for the time machine: "Bay-beh, I got a time machine in mah pants."
56* President Camacho begins his speech with "Shit"...only to have it revealed it's on a teleprompter in the next shot.
57* People jet-skiing on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool at the National Mall, complete with the Washington Monument slightly leaning presumably due to lack of maintenance.
