(Mike Judge is the guy behind Beavis & Butt-head and Office Space.)

Private Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson), the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program, set 1,000 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive...

The purpose of the program set up by the Pentagon, called the "Human Hibernation Project," is designed so that the military can save their best men for when they're needed most. According to the officers heading the project, too many times the talents and expensive training of the best pilots and soldiers go to waste during times of peace. So they enlist Bowers, the most under-achieving average guy they've got, to be the test subject for the initial hibernation experiment. Also participating in the top-secret program is Rita (Maya Rudolph), a prostitute who agreed to take part in exchange for dropping some criminal charges against her, among other things. Of course, the experiment, which was to last only a year, goes under due to the arrest of Officer Collins, who is busted for heading a prostitution ring. Seeing as though he was in charge of the experiment, one of the only ones who knew of its existence, and "due to a lot of top-secret red tape... and the massive scandals and base closure that followed, Joe and Rita were forgotten about.

1. Um, you forgot one of my faves

King of the Hill.

Sounds a little like Futurama with a different twist.

2. Office Space just gets better with each year...

(and each job I work at).

Like Office Space, this appears to be a live-action feature film, rather than an animated series.

3. I'll stick with Philip J Fry, thanks anyway...?

:-)

Okay, it's not unlike "Futurama" in some ways, but it's a reasonably "reality tv" scenario...

4. Love Mike Judge. King of the Hill is occasionally brilliant

Bobby and Dale are inspired characters. :D
