Idea (NSFW): To make comic books out of photos of miniature setups/scenes created using Legos, such as a Predator-style military jungle shootout. Also: Lego comics which are customized for a specific person, a customized adult film where a woman burns a man's stamp collection, a self-building miniature modular skyscraper city prototype built with Lego robotics Originally from Creativity Wasted epi...

Idea: To create multiple versions of the same movie, each one for a different geographic region (using that region as a green screen backdrop and using supporting actors from that region). There would be many versions of the same movie in the US (like maybe in Seattle, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Nashville) and a large percentage of the scenes would look totally different. Also: selling half-com...

Idea: To try harder to recognize people with unique talents instead of ignoring or rejecting them because of their shortcomings (such as in school). Also: using people with photographic memories to comb through crowds like Bruce Willis in the movie Unbreakable; questioning why nobody has given me millions of dollars to create the ideas discussed in this podcast Originally from Creativity Wasted ep...

Idea: Tubes that shoot garbage into space. The Venturi principle and the surface tension of water would theoretically cause the liquified garbage to climb up the tube (like water in a tree). Also: Earth would look like the villain Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies; maybe Jupiter and Saturn look brown because they're surrounded by trash that got sucked up into orbit by alien garbage tubes; bending...

Idea (NSFW): A poorly performing gigolo that other men can hire for their girlfriends to make them appear better in bed by comparison. Also: questioning how you'd know the gigalo is actually bad in bed, not wanting another man who has issues with finishing prematurely to accidentally impregnate your girlfriend, hiring out a gigolo to do the post coital cuddling Originally from Creativity Wasted ep...

Idea: A performance venue where you vote on Twitter (or some other social media platform) for who will perform that night. It would encourage friendly competition between performers, and would encourage famous people who are in town for other reasons to "drop in" spontaneously Also: purchasing the ticket as part of the vote and getting refunded if the performer you voted for loses; checking the ca...

Idea: A deeply personal dark comedy movie (loosely based on a real person) about a young female comic's struggles with schizophrenia Also: living with a person with mental illness, family secrets of mental illness repeating themselves Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 41 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News) DC Bradley (instagram.com/dcbradleyonig) Steven G Sull...

Idea (NSFW): To pay a bunch of people to follow pedophiles and suspected pedophiles with drones to make sure they don't do horrible things Also: being followed by a drone might cause little boys to think you're cool, the creepiness of drones, R Kelly's alleged cult of young aspiring female singers Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 41 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Fu...

Idea (NSFW): Sci-fi clones which share both your memories and your current thoughts and feelings. Also: dividing work between clones; making sure at least one clone is doing something pleasurable at all times; accumulating all of the fear and sadness of all of your clones and developing PTSD; if you share thoughts with your clone, what happens if your clone goes to hell? Originally from Creativity...

Idea: To build super-high-speed highways from the US to Russia and to South America, to compete with China's "new silk road" in Europe/Asia/Africa. Also: transporting oil using self-driving electric trucks instead of pipelines; since there's already a device called a "salmon cannon" to allow salmon to go upstream past dams, we could create a "bear cannon" to shoot bears across highways Originally...

Idea: A bed that counts and analyzes your farts for health purposes. Also: comparing your fart count to the foods you ate to figure out which foods cause you to fart; taffy-induced stomach gurgling masking the sounds of a potential burglary; keeping drugs on hand so if you accidentally shart in your girlfriend's bed you can lie and say that you muled the drugs so you can party Originally from Crea...

Idea: To put an age detection device onto fidget spinners so people over the age of 10 can't use them. Also: adults using fidget spinners on Twitter; social media algorithms exaggerating fads; using a fidget spinner to generate electricity to charge your phone Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 40 Lauren Uchalik (twitter.com/loyooch) Misho Shakur (twitter.com/mishoshakur) Tony Vasek (facebo...

Idea (NSFW): A flashlight-shaped adult toy which generates electricity while its being used. Also: giving it to your dad to charge it up; harnessing shame for electricity; giving people drugs to prevent climax so they generate more electricity; a vibrating bicycle seat for women Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 40 Lauren Uchalik (twitter.com/loyooch) Misho Shakur (twitter.com/mishoshakur)...

Idea: A location-based app to show you where your exes are so you can avoid them, especially when out in public. Also: using notifications and maps; using smoke bombs to help you evade them if they get too close; hiring a sniper to shoot your ex with a dart containing a tracking chip Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 40 Lauren Uchalik (twitter.com/loyooch) Misho Shakur (twitter.com/mishosh...

Idea: To have a never-ending (24 hours a day) virtual open mic for standup comedy. It would use a proprietary system of filtering out background noises of the audience, and would incorporate the emcee, phone screeners, and "bouncers" (who can mute audience members). Also: a few other ideas for movie theaters and live comedy venues; where to locate the emcees around the world for the 24-hour virtua...

Idea: A baby name review board to prevent lame, misspelled, and offensive baby names. But people could still use the rejected name as a nickname, like "JR" (not his real initials). Also: names that sound dirty in other languages; a possible correlation between bad baby names and parents with tattoos; names that switch gender over time Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 39 Myles De Leeuw (tw...

Idea (NSFW): An absurdist futuristic sci-fi movie where a genetically modified half-human half-cat villain tries to destroy all dogs, and a hero has to genetically modify himself to be half-human half-dog in order to breed with the last living dog. Also: the possible cruelty of shooting movies using animals Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 39 Myles De Leeuw (twitter.com/mylesdeloser) Jon...

Idea: Pants made out of nanobots which can also go inside your body and help you, by curing diseases or whatever. Also: yoga pants; if some of the pants go inside of you, they must be capris Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 39 Myles De Leeuw (twitter.com/mylesdeloser) Jon Mullinix (instagram.com/mullinixjon) JR Williams (twitter.com/jrstandsup) John Sopkowicz (twitter.com/sopkowits) Tom W...

Idea (NSFW): A medication for women to allow them to "chill out". Also: how difficult this idea is for men to talk about; would it be immoral to give it to someone without their knowledge; behavior changes in elderly men and elderly women Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 39 Myles De Leeuw (twitter.com/mylesdeloser) Jon Mullinix (instagram.com/mullinixjon) JR Williams (twitter.com/jrstands...

Idea: Yoga ropes that you control with your mind so you can stretch your body without using your muscles to push your bones around (because using muscle ruins the relaxation of stretching and yawning). Also: enabling stretches which aren't possible using muscles; accidentally getting stuck in a Jigsaw trap from the Saw movies; using a combination of a mind-controlled hammock or bed and a mind-cont...

Idea: A show which consists of live standup comedy followed by a movie premiere (such as a Marvel movie). The show is located in a movie theater, and the comedians sometimes do comedy which is loosely related to the movie. Also: how to run shows in movie theaters, falling asleep as an emcee of a midnight show Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 38 Garri Madera (twitter.com/garcom) Gerrit Elz...

Idea: Suitcases with retractable wheels so they don't get torn off in the baggage claim. Also: could maybe use the same mechanism as "heely" shoes; could maybe remove them and use them as "fidget spinners" Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 38 Garri Madera (twitter.com/garcom) Gerrit Elzinga (twitter.com/GerritElzinga, Podcast: anchor.fm/thisbetterbegood) Shane Dials (twitter.com/ShaneDials...

Idea: An online database of jokes (like IMDB is for movies), so comedians who think of a joke can easily check to see if it's been done before. Also: Has every joke you've ever told been done before? Should only headliners' jokes or only jokes told on comedy specials on television be eligible? Shane's story of getting called out on stage for stealing a joke... from himself Originally from Creativi...

Idea: A bar themed after the movie Jurassic Park. The bar tap would be amber with a mosquito in it. There'd be themed drink names, such as "Clever Girl" and "Hold On To Your Butts". Behind the bar, there 'd be a mural of a shirtless Jeff Goldblum. In the parking lot, there'd be an upside-down car, and a toilet sitting nearby with a bunch of broken boards on the ground next to it Originally from Cr...

Idea: To open a coffee shop where the employees are comedians. The coffee might get served with lewd images in the foam. If the customer orders a roast, they get roasted. Or if it's a dark roast, they might get jokes about 9-11.
