In short, Crews' rally was downright dystopian – in a funny, futuristic way, of course. Equally patriotic was the 79 Rainey Street patio, decorated with American suburbia string lights, bald eagles, and an endless supply of Brawndo – a yellow-canned, supposedly thirst-mutilating sports drink reminiscent of Gatorade and watered-down Mountain Dew.įollow-up to a mock press conference held Saturday on Sixth Street, the free and open to the public concert offered few clues as to Crews’ intent behind reviving the character, with no announcements made regarding an Idiocracy sequel, energy drink sales, or upcoming projects for the actor. Halfway through Toasters 'N' Moose’s 2010 "Taste the Biscuit,” which earned an unexpected TikTok resurgence last year, the actor began making numerous attention-averting appearances on a balcony while donning star-spangled bandanas, a shoulder-length wig, and a tank top with the seal of the President of the United States on the chest. Back from the future, Crews-as-Camacho declared he'd returned to "fix shit now," employing the help of musical acts Armani White, Toasters 'N' Moose, and Thundercat. Yesterday on Rainey Street, Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden became home base for the actor's Kick Ass Rally, a South by Southwest block party masquerading as a 2024 campaign event for Crews' Idiocracy character Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho, President Camacho for short. At least, that's what Terry Crews says after returning from the year 2524 in Mike Judge's 2006 Austin-filmed satire, Idiocracy.
