Creativity Wasted

Idea: Comedian-vigilante service where comedians perform acts of revenge at night, possibly while wearing superhero costumes, between open-mic nights (of course) Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Reco...

Brian wants community-run public shaming of people who do minor (legal) bad things like cutting someone off in public or insulting someone. Tom hates the idea, gets on his soapbox, and makes it awkward Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot...

Idea: A "baby translator" should be possible by now. Or at least a giant mother-scaring helmet that can analyze the baby's brain waves and figure out why it's crying, including where on its body a pain signal is coming from. Although this would lead to social pressure to use the brain-scanning helmet whenever out with the baby in public, such as on an airplane Originally from Creativity Wasted epi...

Idea: Franchising of standup comedy open mics (and possibly other types of shows, like burlesque) by selling promotional templates, merch, and maybe even audio equipment as a package to people who want to run shows in other towns Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 69 Daniel Kumapayi (Twitter: @Kumapayidk) Bryan Harrison (Twitter: @DonnchaRedbeard Podcast: moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Bryan D...

Idea: Shock collars or "shock ankle bracelets" for unruly children, comedians who're bombing on stage, or people who're trying to quit smoking. Also, if in public, is it more humane (or less in-humane) to discretely shock someone's ankle or visibly spray them in the face with a spray bottle?

If they invented a device to allow dogs and cats to talk, they'd be better pets. Or they'd use their cuteness to steal jobs from beautiful people, and vote Republican Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-season-2-ep-204) Gimmy Cipriano (Twitter: @theRealGimmyC) Jacob Bar...

Idea: You should be able to steal pets if they like you more than their current owners Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-season-2-ep-204) Gimmy Cipriano (Twitter: @theRealGimmyC) Jacob Barr (Twitter: @kidwiththehands) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podc...

Idea: If a you get a call from a telemarketer or a wrong number, you should be allowed to scam them, and they should be legally required to give you whatever you manage to scam from them, including money, a kidney, or a small child Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-se...

Idea: An app or electronic device (Street Justice) to help you humiliate or take revenge upon rude or reckless drivers. Also, should we have different car horns for different emotions, and/or eliminate the car horn?

Idea: An electronic device (LitBit) to help you keep track of your alcohol consumption. Not for health reasons. Just for bragging rights Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-season-2-ep-204) Gimmy Cipriano (Twitter: @theRealGimmyC) Jacob Barr (Twitter: @kidwiththehands)...

Idea: A fan which is curved to always hit the entire room with air, instead of oscillating and annoying/teasing you with intermittent comfort Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next-level-jeff-horste-season-2-ep-204) Gimmy Cipriano (Twitter: @theRealGimmyC) Jacob Barr (Twitter: @kidwiththeha...

Idea; An app to tell you the best places (private, safe from cops and criminals) to hook up in your car, which you might want to do because you don't want to show your partner how gross your apartment is. Plus, a beneficial role for perverts in society Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 68 Jeff Horste (Twitter: @jeffhorste Comedy Special: cc.com/episodes/hc6col/kevin-hart-presents--the-next...

Idea: An app named "Contact Buy" for performers to sell digital music/comedy and digital photos and autographs to fans at their shows. That way, the fans don't have to deal with annoying physical things like CDs or "download cards", and they can use the digital autograph and photo taken with the musician/artist as "album art" when the song is played on their phones. And since the artist sells dire...

Seeing a hungry dog try to eat it's leash led to the idea of actually making an edible dog leash out of beef, which led to the idea of making adult toys out of beef and other foods. Also, Ella saved a frog from a toilet Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 67 Bart Dangus (Twitter: @BartDangus Podcast: bigtimegarbage.libsyn.com) Ella H Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detr...

Idea: Since mouthwash has alcohol in it, why not serve it as a drink in bars? You could use the lid of the mouthwash bottle as a shot glass, and maybe serve it as a drink named "Winter Gut". Also, it might be the only recreational drug that make your teeth healthier Bart Dangus (Twitter: @BartDangus Podcast: bigtimegarbage.libsyn.com) Ella H Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast De...

Idea: A psychic or spiritual way to control your house with your mind, to make blood seep through the walls to scare away burglars, and to do mundane things like run the coffee maker and detect leaky pipes. Also: Neuralink brain implants which only work for a specific company and have themes such as "goth" Dale Murdock (IG: @dalelerious) Brandon Ponke (IG: @bponke Twitter: @BPonke) Adam Walsh (Knu...

Tom has a sweaty butt. If he's sitting down, sometimes ONLY his butt sweats, and he's afraid if he stands up and his butt is drenched in sweat, it'll look like he peed his pants. He tried Gold Bond powder without success, so he came up with some better ideas, such as harnesses to allow you to dangle in the air instead of sitting, pants and underwear made of silver which can act like a computer pro...

Idea: Virtual or in-person community where (mostly amateur) creative people of different disciplines (sketch comedy, standup comedy, acting, film-making, animation, etc.) meet each other and collaborate on projects Matt Hamilton (moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Dave Crumbley (Twitter: @cavedrumbley) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Idea: Ban fast food because it's too much of a temptation for people with food addiction. Also, we propose other weirder ways to fight obesity Matt Hamilton (moistdefinitelypodcast.com) Dave Crumbley (Twitter: @cavedrumbley) Bryan Deuchler (Twitter: @MrDrRobot) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit

Dave wants to retire from Pokemon Go because arranging in-person meetups with other Pokemon players to battle the difficult Pokemon is a hassle: they often show up late, or not at all, leaving him waiting outside and sweating in the sun. Also, he's a gray-haired anti-social Pokemon player who thinks he's a superior person when compared to the other Pokemon players. Especially the children Matt Ham...

Idea: Everyone agrees to stop having kids for twenty years to allow us to focus on building bullet trains and making other improvements to society. But it might lead to unintended problems, such as women who're desperate to become mothers kidnapping the last children, and the death of all birds (because many people who would've had children would have cats instead) Matt Hamilton (moistdefinitelypo...

If someone is at fault in a car accident, almost causes an accident, or is just being a jerk on the road, their car's AI computer (which all cars will be required to have installed) will detect that this occurred, and then, when they park, the car will release knockout gas. Then the person will be put in a lottery with like 100 other bad drivers, and the person whose name gets drawn will be punish...

A weird futuristic idea to save pets from embarrassing accidental deaths, inspired from an incident of accidentally sleeping on the floor on top of tiny ants Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 88 StuMcCallister (Twitter: @StuMcCallister Podcast: https://soundcloud.com/lmnopodcast) Sal Demilio (Twitter: @SALLYD08 Podcast: https://salandbobshow.libsyn.com) Simon Carlson (Twitter: @shmimoncarl...

Idea: An enhancement to monthly-donation websites such as Patreon to allow you to temporarily adjust your donation to penalize (or reward) the content creator, and also give them a comment explaining why you're penalizing or rewarding them. You could also cap your overall total monthly donation, so if you reward one content creator with a bonus one month, it would automatically slightly reduce you...

Idea: An app which allows parents to remotely shut off a tail-light on their teenage kid's car if the kid stays out too late. That way, if the kid's gonna be out too late, he better stay sober, because he's at a high risk of getting pulled over Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 65 Dustin "Lee" (not real name, by request) Scott Fischer (Instagram: @scottimscott) Tom Walma (Twitter: @thomasw...
