For the last time, I'm pretty sure... what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.

But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

So wait a minute. What you're saying... is that you want us to put water on the crops.

Yes. Water.

Like out the toilet?

Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, veah, that's the idea.

But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

Okay, look.The plants aren't growing, so l'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.

Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet.

Hey, that's good. You sure you ain't the smartest guy in the world?

You wanna solve this problem. I wanna get my pardon So why don't we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?

Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Goddamn it. Yeah, it's got electrolytes.

What are electrolytes? Do you even know?

It's what they use to make Brawndo.

Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo?

'Cause Brawndo's got electrolytes.

After several hours, Joe finally gave up on logic and reason... and simply told the cabinet that he could talk to plants... and that they wanted water. He made believers out of everyone.

This movie is no longer satire it's documentary, COVID made me realize how people act in movies is almost 1:1 in reality. The same with the current state we have now.

Covid made me realise that even the dumbest person in a horror movie who goes down into the basement on their own, actually exist.

And that they vote in large numbers

Yeah, i think that's it. It was pretty much just a hyperbolic commentary on the 2000s and the world kept heading in that direction.

It gets a lot of flak for it's eugenics themes. I agree that the problem isn't a system that breeds people genetically predisposed to stupidity. I would have preferred it if the movie had chosen a different mechanism for the dumbing down of the population.

Personally, I think it's socioeconomic. Rising wealth inequality is causing a decline in the quality of the average median level of education.
