I could see it working as a Silicon Valley crossover

Funny you should mention that. Mike Judge -- the director of Office Space -- also co-created Silicon Valley. (He was also responsible for Idiocracy, Beavis and Butt-Head, and King Of The Hill.)

Idiocracy's "but it has what plants crave" conversation about feeding plants water instead of electrolyte-laden Brawndo is how I imagine most conversations go with anti-vaxxers.

"But vaccines make you sick."

Interesting! I was aware of Beavis & Butthead + King Of The Hill but had no idea he had a hand in Silicon Valley as well.

Yeah, all of those shows do a really great job of capturing the zeitgeist in their own flavor. Office space is iconic but KOTH and Silicon Valley do it consistently across multiple seasons.

Tales from the Tour Bus is a new show he's doing as well. It's hilarious and insightful.
