The movie is funny and even though it takes place 500 years in the future I have to agree with the guy you teach.
Someone had this on at the dialysis center I go to, and I found myself watching a bit of the end last night. The TV was muted, so I was only watching the visuals. Seems like the most ridiculous thing I've ever witnessed. They spent like 5 minutes milking the big "reveal" at the end.
The most ridiculous thing I can imagine witnessing is someone judging a singing competition without any sound.
While the fact that we live in Idiocracy isn’t news I disagree that “The Masked Singer” is a symptom or cause of that. In fact, it seems like a very old-fashioned game show to me. Or perhaps I’ve just missed the millions of complaints that “What’s My Line” is responsible for the death of culture.
...Oh, no, no. It was STAN LEE who was responsible for the death of culcha! Didn't you listen to Bill Maher? Yep, weren't it for Ol' Smiley, Henry James adaptations would be filling the multiplexes and The New York Review Of Books would be outselling the Enquirer(Spoken by someone who has, in the past, subscribed to the NYRB and still gets the Web freebie...I somehow feel compelled to say!). ="Gems-A-Bems, post: 20449884, member: 21288"]While the fact that we live in Idiocracy isn’t news I disagree that “The Masked Singer” is a symptom or cause of that.

This... Idiocracy (2006) - IMDb The dumbing down of America. Who knew we were truly watching a movie about the future back in '06. I thought it was just a mindless comedy.... edit: I see some others beat me to it.
There are far dumber shows on TV- every soap opera ever made for instance. At least this features real people actually singing.

Soap operas are all but dead on American television. There's, what, like 4 currently-running daytime soaps left. They've basically been replaced by Lifetime/Hallmark romance movies. Audiences are too busy to keep up with 1-hour daily dramas. They need their drama and romance wrapped up in self-contained 2-hour morsels.
Well, the show's judges aren't even judging this as a singing competition. They are judging this like "What's My Line?" It's a celebrity guessing game disguised as a singing competition. Half the judges' comments are about height, weight or how the singer moves, because they're trying to guess the celebrity. If someone sings well or badly, the judges then say things like, "They can sing, so that's probably a professionally trained singer behind the mask!" or "That sounds like a non-professional singer, so maybe that's an athlete behind the mask?" The weirdest thing is when the judges guess an A-list celebrity who probably wouldn't appear on this show.
They’re more hosts than they are judges. Their votes only count as much as every single studio audience member’s count.
