These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Idiocracy
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Comedy though it may be, the dystopia this movie portrays is utterly horrifying in its believability.
Hype Backlash: There seems to be a certain type of Know-Nothing Know-It-All who makes comparisons to this film for everything they see as a "dumb" societal trend, such as the continued popularity of Michael Bay movies. This scares some people away by making the movie seem very preachy and Anvilicious when it's really just a goofy, high-concept comedy running on the Rule of Funny.
Idiot Plot: Justified. Only the two characters from the past are of even average intelligence. Even then, Joe is naive and not a natural leader.
Misaimed Fandom: Quite a lot of people take this movie very seriously, pointing to the general stupidness of modern pop culture as proof that this movie is a totally accurate prediction of the future. In fact, there's a good chance you first heard about this movie through those people. Hilariously, those people are idiots.
Memetic Mutation: "Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded."
MST3K Mantra: Apparently, there are people who watched this movie and thought it was being as serious as Red Dawn, which, as we all know, was a documentary.
Same goes for people nitpicking about how it would take longer to get the electrolytes out of the soil, how come people can still ride motorcycles/play guitars/etc.
