Judge was born in [[Guayaquil]], [[Ecuador]], and raised in [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]]. He graduated from the [[University of California, San Diego]],<ref name="Filmmaker Judge: Physics to Hollywood" /> where he studied physics.<ref name="Filmmaker Judge: Physics to Hollywood" /> After losing interest in a career in science, Judge focused on animation and short films. His animated short ''[[Frog Baseball]]'' was developed into the successful [[MTV]] series ''Beavis and Butt-Head'', and the spin-off series ''[[Daria]]'' (with which Judge had no involvement).

In 1995, Judge and former ''[[The Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' writer [[Greg Daniels]] developed ''King of the Hill'', which debuted on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] in 1997 and quickly became popular with both critics and audiences. Running for 13 seasons, it became one of the [[List of longest-running United States television series|longest-running American animated series]]. During the run of the show, Judge took time off to write and direct ''Office Space'', ''Idiocracy'' and ''Extract''. As ''King of the Hill'' was coming to an end, Judge created his third show, [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''The Goode Family'', which received mixed reviews and was canceled after 13 episodes. After a four-year hiatus, he created his fourth show, the live-action ''[[Silicon Valley (TV series)|Silicon Valley]]'' for [[HBO]], which has received critical acclaim.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/silicon-valley/season-1|title=Silicon Valley: season 1|publisher=[[Metacritic]]|access-date=April 11, 2015|archive-date=March 28, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328152458/https://www.metacritic.com/tv/silicon-valley/season-1|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2017, Judge's fourth animated series, the music-themed ''[[Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus|Tales from the Tour Bus]]'', premiered on [[Cinemax]], to acclaim.

Judge has won a [[Primetime Emmy Award]] and two [[Annie Awards]] for ''King of the Hill'' and two [[Critics' Choice Television Award]]s and [[Satellite Awards]] for ''Silicon Valley''.

They were true believers in something, and I don't know what it was".

In 1991, his short film ''Office Space'' (also known as the ''[[Milton (cartoon)|Milton]]'' series of shorts) was acquired by [[Comedy Central]], following an [[List of international animation festivals|animation festival]] in Dallas. Shortly thereafter, he dropped out of school to focus on his career.{{r|scott201404}} In the early 1990s, he was playing blues bass with [[Doyle Bramhall]].<ref name="austinchronicle">{{cite web|url=http://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2003-02-21/146068/|title=Life by the Drop: Doyle Bramhall returns to Fitchburg Street – Music|website=The Austin Chronicle|date=February 21, 2003 |access-date=September 7, 2017|archive-date=September 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906224433/https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2003-02-21/146068/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 1992, he developed ''[[Frog Baseball]]'',{{r|scott201404}} a short film featuring the characters [[Beavis]] and [[Butt-Head]], which was to be featured on ''[[Liquid Television]]'', a 1990s animation showcase that appeared on [[MTV]]. The short led to the creation of the ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head]]'' series on MTV, in which Judge voiced both title characters as well as the majority of supporting characters and wrote and directed the majority of the episodes. The show centers on two socially incompetent, [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]]-loving teenage wannabe delinquents, [[Beavis]] and [[Butt-Head]], who live in the fictional town of Highland, Texas. The two have no adult supervision, are dim-witted, sex-obsessed, uneducated, barely literate, and lack any empathy or moral scruples, even regarding each other. Over its run, ''Beavis and Butt-Head'' drew a notable amount of both positive and negative reaction from the public with its combination of lewd humor and implied criticism of society.<ref>{{cite news|title=TELEVISION; Keeping Beavis and Butt-Head Just Stupid Enough|date=October 17, 1993|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/17/arts/television-keeping-beavis-and-butt-head-just-stupid-enough.html?scp=4&sq=Beavis%20and%20Butt-Head&st=cse|first=Elizabeth|last=Kolbert|work=[[The New York Times]]|access-date=September 6, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170624152237/https://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/17/arts/television-keeping-beavis-and-butt-head-just-stupid-enough.html?scp=4&sq=Beavis%20and%20Butt-Head&st=cse|archive-date=June 24, 2017}}</ref>

Judge himself is highly critical of the animation and quality of earlier episodes, in particular the first two – ''Blood Drive''/''Give Blood'' and ''Door to Door'' – which he described as "awful, I don't know why anybody liked it ...

===1997–2009: ''King of the Hill'', ''Office Space'', and ''Idiocracy''===

The show is about a middle-class Methodist family named the Hills living in a small town called Arlen, Texas. It attempts to retain a naturalistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional and mundane aspects of everyday life while dealing with issues comically.

Judge has made supporting and cameo appearances in numerous films. Judge had a voice cameo as Kenny in ''[[South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut]]'' (1999), the feature-length film adaptation of the popular [[Comedy Central]] series; he voiced [[Kenny McCormick]] when he was unhooded towards the end of the film. He later acted in the science-fiction family comedy franchise ''[[Spy Kids (franchise)|Spy Kids]]'', where he played Donnagon Giggles in the first three films. His next film appearance was ''[[Serving Sara]]'' (2002) where he played a motel manager. He later appeared in the comedy ''[[Jackass Number Two]]'' (2006), in which he can be seen during the closing credits. An extended version of his sequence can be seen in ''[[Jackass 2.5]]'' (2007) which was a [[direct-to-video]] release. Judge also created a video clip of Beavis and Butt-Head ripping into [[Steve-O]] for his video ''Poke the Puss'', where the two try imagining if they would like the video better if they were black. The clip aired as a part of ''[[Jackassworld.com: 24 Hour Takeover|Jackassworld.com: 24-Hour Takeover]]'', a February 23, 2008, television special on MTV to coincide with the official launch of jackassworld.com.

===2009–2013: ''The Goode Family'', ''Extract'', and other projects===
[[File:Mike judge.jpg|thumb|Judge in 2009]]
Judge's fourth directorial effort was 2009's ''[[Extract (film)|Extract]]''. Shortly after completing ''Office Space'', Judge was already about 40 pages into his follow-up script, set in the world of an extract factory, when he was convinced by his representative team that he needed to shelve that and concentrate on something more commercial. Over the next several years, he focused his energy on developing ''Idiocracy''. But years later, by the time of the film's release, audiences had decided that ''Office Space'' had struck a chord, so they were ready to see Judge return to on-the-job humor, and thus the ''Extract'' script was given new life.<ref name="Nasson, Tim">{{cite web|url=http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/behind_the_scenes/Extract-BEHINDTHESCENES.php|title=Extract-Behind the Scenes|work=wildaboutmovies.com|author=Nasson, Tim|date=August 13, 2009|access-date=September 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170630070806/http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/behind_the_scenes/Extract-BEHINDTHESCENES/|archive-date=June 30, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Seeking to keep ''Extract'' below the radar of the studio system, Judge and his producers set up a production company, Ternion Productions, and arranged private financing while partnering with Miramax for domestic distribution of the film. Judge relied heavily on his own personal knowledge of the industrial world to bring the story to life. "I actually worked in a factory a little bit myself ... I hopefully write stuff that is recognizable as the archetypes of this world," Judge stated.<ref name="Nasson, Tim" />

Keeping true to this baseline of reality, ''Extract'' was shot in a working factory, in this case a water bottling plant south of Los Angeles, in the City of [[Commerce, California|Commerce]].<ref name="Nasson, Tim"/> He makes an uncredited appearance as Jim, a union organizer.<ref>[[Staff writer]] (April 28, 2008).

===Political views===
While ''[[King of the Hill]]'' is often a satire of protagonist [[Hank Hill]], identifiable as a [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]],<ref name="ign">{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/05/10/interview-mike-judge-reaches-the-top-of-the-hill |title=Interview: Mike Judge Reaches the Top of the Hill |last=Goldman |first=Eric |date=May 10, 2006 |website=[[IGN]] |access-date=June 24, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120517001636/http://tv.ign.com/articles/707/707158p4.html |archive-date=May 17, 2012}}</ref> and his ''[[The Goode Family]]'' is essentially a satire centered on a [[Modern liberalism in the United States|liberal]] family, Judge avoids discussing his own political leanings.<ref name="ign" />

In reviewing ''[[Idiocracy]]'', [[Salon.com|Salon]] stated, "Judge's [[wikt:gimlet-eyed|gimlet eye]] is so ruthless that at times his politics seem to border on [[South Park Republican|''South Park'' libertarianism]]".<ref>{{cite web |last=Stevens |first=Dana |url=http://www.slate.com/id/2157486 |title=Mike Judge's Idiocracy reviewed |publisher=Slate.com |date=January 12, 2007 |access-date=March 28, 2011 |archive-date=January 23, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110123164129/http://www.slate.com/id/2157486/ |url-status=live }}</ref> A writer for the [[Libertarian Party (United States)|libertarian]] magazine ''[[Reason (magazine)|Reason]]'' seems to agree, comparing ''King of the Hill'' to the anti-authoritarian point of view of ''South Park'' and ''[[The Simpsons]]'', though he calls the show more [[Populism|populist]], noting the disdain ''King of the Hill'' seems to have for bureaucrats, professionals, and [[Big-box store|big-box chains]].<ref>{{cite web |author=[[Jesse Walker]] |url=http://reason.com/archives/2003/12/14/animated-discourse |title=Animated Discourse |publisher=Reason.com |date=December 14, 2003 |access-date=March 28, 2011 |archive-date=June 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607065550/http://reason.com/archives/2003/12/14/animated-discourse |url-status=live }}</ref>

Still, Judge denies having political messages in his shows, saying in 2006 in an ''[[IGN]]'' interview about ''King of the Hill'':<ref name="ign" />

{{blockquote|I try to not let the show get too political. To me, it's more social than political I guess you'd say, because that's funnier. I don't really like political reference humor that much. Although I liked the episode 'Hank's Bully' where Hank's talking to the mailman and he says, 'Why would anyone want to lick a stamp that has [[Bill Clinton]] on it?' To me that's just like more of a character thing about Hank than it is a political joke or anything. I don't want to do a bunch of stuff about [[Iraq War|the war]], particularly.}}

In June 2016, before the [[2016 United States presidential election|presidential election]] in November, [[Etan Cohen]] told ''[[BuzzFeed]]'' that he and Judge would produce ''Idiocracy''-themed [[Campaign advertising|campaign advertisements]] mocking [[Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign|Donald Trump's presidential campaign]] if given permission from [[20th Century Fox]] to do so.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/idiocracy-team-ready-anti-donald-trump-campaign-ads-20160603|title='Idiocracy' Team Ready Anti-Donald Trump Campaign Ads|work=rollingstone.com|date=June 4, 2016|access-date=November 30, 2016|archive-date=December 12, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161212044338/http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/idiocracy-team-ready-anti-donald-trump-campaign-ads-20160603|url-status=live}}</ref> It was later reported by ''[[Business Insider]]'' that they would not have been campaign ads, would have mocked all of the candidates, and would not go forward.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/terry-crews-says-no-idiocracy-anti-donald-trump-ads-2016-7|title=Terry Crews says there won't be any 'Idiocracy'-themed ads attacking Donald Trump after all|work=businessinsider.com|access-date=January 15, 2018|archive-date=August 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170818091046/http://www.businessinsider.com/terry-crews-says-no-idiocracy-anti-donald-trump-ads-2016-7|url-status=live}}</ref>
