Idea: Scientists predict that a landslide on a tiny island off the coast of Africa could create a mega-tsunami across the entire East Coast of the US. Since such a small thing (a landslide on a tiny island) can create a tsunami, it should also be possible to design a giant machine to create a tsunami. Also: maybe a tsunami machine could create a tsunami to cancel out another tsunami Originally fro...

Idea: A parody sci-fi sequal to the movie Forrest Gump, where Forrest Gump lives as artificial intelligence in a computer, plays Pong instead of Ping Pong, takes over Skynet, and blows up the world in order to destroy all pornographic digital pictures of Jenny Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 14 Erich Laux (twitter.com/ErichJLaux) Scott Wilding (twitter.com/Wilding138) Michael Dinkelis (t...

Idea: An app which detects that you've thrown your phone and simulates an old school angry phone slam to the person on the other end of the call. Also: maybe automatically delete the person on the other end of the call from your contacts, maybe use a custom angry hangup message instead of a "phone slam" sound Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 14 Erich Laux (twitter.com/ErichJLaux) Scott Wi...

Idea: A recreational fake kidnapping service (as inspired by "escape rooms") where you have to solve puzzles to escape. Also: a fake kidnapping "promposal" and how it could go wrong, staging a heroic escape (as a couple) from fake kidnappers and then never telling your girl/boyfriend that it was fake, PTSD Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 13 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Alex Bozin...

Idea: To write and record fantasy/sci-fi audio stories, and release them either as audiobooks or a podcast. Also: standup comedy, how the "Dungeons & Dragons" game works and how being a "dungeon master" is great training for being a fantasy/sci-fi author, Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 13 Daniel Thomas ( twitter.com/DanTComedy ) Khurum Sheikh ( facebook.com/khurum.sheikh ) Andrew Ma...

Idea: A fictional movie about the trials and tribulations of open-mic comedians Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 13 Daniel Thomas (twitter.com/DanTComedy) Khurum Sheikh (facebook.com/khurum.sheikh) Andrew Magryta (twitter.com/AndrewMagryta) Loyd Digg (twitter.com/LoydDigg) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: restaurant tables containing touchscreens for ordering food, so you don't need menus (or waitresses). Also: bumping the touchscreen while eating, accidentally stabbing the touchscreen with a knife if it looks like food, khakis taking over your wardrobe and the khakiness seeping into your soul Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 11 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining) Chris Lazar Tom Wa...

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 11 Dan Turco (twitter.com/Dansplaining...

Idea: A professional baseball league where both men and women are equally represented on each team, and cheerleading counts towards the score of the game.

Ten (mostly dumb) ideas to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, including smelling bad on purpose to encourage social distancing, four ways to block particles being sneezed out or coughed up from spreading, two gadgets that prevent you from touching your face, an app which uses augmented reality glasses to highlight possibly-infected people to help you avoid them, "no-touch" bathrooms where you...

Idea: A blog to showcase the ridiculous excuses people give to comics (or other performers) when they don't want to go to their shows. Also: people repeatedly asking when you're performing and then never showing up, catching someone who made a BS excuse in their lie and then exploiting their guilt for free drinks, it probably won't break a performer's heart if you don't want to go to their show Ma...

Idea: A pill to quickly make you un-high if you have something important to do, like a job interview. Also: a failed attempt to counteract a high using other drugs, "Markus YOLO", speculation on futuristic Neuralink-style ways to get high or un-high Markus Olind (twitter.com/BeardVonMarkus, Comedy Special: "Gettin Off Comedy Series" on Amazon Prime) Ahmed Mansour (twitter.com/AMan5our) Tyler Sonni...

Idea: A washer/dryer combo consisting of only one machine, so you don't have to move clothes from the washer to the dryer. Note that these washer/dryer combos exist and are common overseas, but we heard that they don't work very well. Also: the joy of hang drying your clothes outdoors (if the outdoors isn't spoiled by smog), wearing latex so that you can wash and dry your clothes in the dishwasher...

Idea: Shock collars which shock cats when they're attacking birds, to keep pet cats from killing so many birds that the birds go extinct. The shock collars would use cameras and artificial intelligence to figure out when the cat is attacking a bird. The cameras could also provide fun cat-view video footage. The shock collars could also shock a mountain lion if it's eating the pet cat, to deter it...

Idea: An electric car charging station consisting of dozens of 2-stall garages, where each car is charged indoors in privacy in it's own 2-stall garage. The car being charged is in one side of a garage, and "something to do" for around 40 minutes is in the other side of the garage. Examples of "stuff to do" include private movie theaters, barbers, dentists, Redbox movie rental machines, restaurant...

Idea: If a movie or TV series was ruined by a bad ending or a poor actor, but was otherwise good, they could replace the bad part and re-release it (instead of remaking the entire thing from scratch). There could be a Netflix series for these "fixed" movies. They could also be re-released to theaters and/or re-submitted for awards Bill Morrison (https://billthecomedian.rocks) Richie McLonis (insta...

It's weird that the Ouija Board, an occult/spiritualist séance communication device, was marketed to kids by a major corporation (Hasbro) as a toy. Idea: why not also sell other witchcraft/satanist/voodoo items to kids as a kit? The kit could include items such as voodoo dolls, a pentagram on a Twister-like sheet, fake blood, about 40 fake candles, etc. Technology could also be used, such as weara...
