Idea: A rigid banana-shaped luffa holder which obese people can stick to the bathroom wall to use to wash their back, so they don't have to reach around their body and risk getting muscle cramps.

Idea: A silly, over-the-top "valet simulator" videogame, similar in spirit to Paperboy, where you have to dodge obstacles, fight off dragons, perform reckless driving maneuvers, etc. and still return the car to the owner with minimal damage. Also: the odd trend of videogames based on boring jobs, tipping the hospital valet, tipping driverless cars, accidentally leaving stuff in the car like guns,...

Idea: A ring to give to a "work spouse", i.e. a close friend at work who provides emotional support and helps you with your real marriage.

Idea: Either something that you add to beer to cause you to gradually sweat out sunscreen, or beer in sunscreen that can be absorbed through the skin.

Idea: An app which uses AI to help you find a job, including creating resumes and cover letters, deciding which job is the best match (good match for your skills, good social groups, not racist), helping you prepare for interviews, etc. Also: budtenders, extremely short resumes, the national food for racism (boiled goose) Christian Royce (twitter.com/ChristianRoyce) David Sutherland (twitter.com/s...

Idea: A small business selling hot dogs on the beach. Also: pot dogs; if it's a nude beach, would the hot dogs have a bun; picking on the idea a little too much by saying that the hot dogs would get covered by sand, sweat, seagull poop, and flakes of sun-burnt skin Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 32 Mike Ball (twitter.com/IamMikeBall) Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus) Andrew Yang...

Idea: Brain scanning of pedophiles and other criminals to check for and remove brain tumors which might be causing their criminal impulses. Also: a supervillain injecting brain tumors to cause criminal impulses, giving kids chemotherapy guns to protect them from the zombie-like brain tumor criminals, fine-tuning the pedophile-causing brain tumors to make everybody attracted to you instead Original...

Idea: Sports broadcasters who act like normal sports fans who drink, curse, and scream in excitement. Also: drunk guy "facts" instead of nerdy sports encyclopedia stats, announcers rooting for a specific team if they want to, Joe Rogan's fight companions but for the NFL, using codenames for teams and players if the NFL won't allow you to act as a sportscaster on a livestream on the Internet Origin...

Idea: A cheap phone-like device which only communicates using Bluetooth or point-to-point WiFi with friends, primarily for social networking of juicy gossip/media that you don't want on the Internet. Also: a new category of slower but more secure social media posts/messages, posts/messages bouncing from friend-to-friend and acknowledgements bouncing back, having a different "socialburn" device for...

Idea: To make Lego versions of all movies (because the first two Lego movies were so awesome). Also: Lego Citizen Kane, Lego 13 Going on 30, a Lego Instagram filter for all existing movies, Lego standup comedy; a real-life Lego person (a guy in a Lego costume) would be terrifying Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 31 Diego Attanasio (twitter.com/DiegoComedy) Justin Covington (twitter.com/JC...

Idea: An app which runs on "smart glasses" and allows you to view the most recent social media post(s) of whoever you're looking at. The primary purpose is to see if you're compatible with them (or see if they're crazy) before flirting with them. Also: the TV show "You" and questioning whether the app is creepy, altering your flirting strategy based on their social media, we each share our most re...

Idea: A comedic murder mystery play similar to the movie "Clue" which takes place in a racially-diverse car dealership during a big car sale. Also: your coworkers at the car dealership are being killed off but you don't run away or call the police because their deaths mean that you'll get more sales commissions, the worst customers at a used car dealership are white women who are retired schooltea...

Also: beer snobs judgmentally watching you mix your drink, saving money on drinks by not having to pay a bartender, the "bar" is a physical barrier to block drunk people from stealing alcohol, the weirdness of drinking laws Originally from Creativity...

Idea: A musical remake of the 1985 teen movie "The Breakfast Club". Also: questioning whether the 80s "goth" and "burnout" stereotypes from the movie are still relevant, casting the burnout kid from the 80s movie as the stuffy principle in the musical remake, making the audience of the musical sit in uncomfortable school desks like they're in detention with the cast Originally from Creativity Wast...

Idea: To build a moon colony using remote-control robots piloted by uneducated factory workers. Also: generational space penis envy, giving uneducated people jobs controlling remote-control moon robots to keep them from revolting and destroying society, Elon Musk's AI-based robot built Mars colony might lead to the AI-based robot apocalypse but a remote-control-based robot built moon colony might...

Idea: A colony inside a moon crater where the roof is self-repairing and is made out of small balloons. Also: questioning whether the idea makes sense, a roof collapse where the balloons fall into the crater and everyone suffocates would look like the most horrific birthday party of all time Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 30 Bree Pratt (formerly Brian Pratt) Joe Morgan (instagram.com/jo...

Idea: A series of soundproof rooms (called "squawkboxes") along the walls of a movie theater in which small groups of people can talk to each other and use their cell phones while watching the movie. Also: themed squawkboxes such as "hotel room squawkboxes" and "parental lounge squawkboxes" and "singles bar squawkboxes", types of movies that would be best for squawkboxes Originally from Creativity...

Idea: A social media app to share nearby people's "roles" in your life with them, as if life was a movie, such as "clumsy waiter", "creepy security guard", or "hot girl who lives on my floor". Also: gamifying casual relationships, a passive form of dominance, a "tag cloud" of your most common roles/attributes, finding out how people perceive you and then figuring out how to change yourself to impr...

Idea: A smart, topical, and meta sitcom about workers at an animation studio who never get to finish their movie because real world news keeps necessitating plot changes. Also: not knowing the plot of the movie you're animating, releasing the movie that the animators are creating in the sitcom as an actual movie, manipulating world events to match the movie you're working on Originally from Creati...
