Creativity Wasted

Idea (satire): An AI assistant that validates everything you think and helps you do anything you want, including evil or unhealthy things. Also: recommending things for you that it determines you'd enjoy but that you're not emotionally ready to accept; validating your crazy thoughts and making your mental illness worse; using the AI as an alibi if you get in trouble with the cops; other scary futu...

Idea: Two concepts of heat vent accessories that you can add to your car to blow warm air on you in a more satisfying way than the ones built into the dash (which only directly warm your hands and face and dry out your eyeballs). Also: heat vents as a zen meditation spot; Tom didn't realize that "air scarfs" already exist in some luxury car seats; Bluetooth-speaker-sized space heaters (w...

Idea: A roast-like award show where each comic is introduced by giving them an insulting award (such as "the comic with the most hit-with-a-brick mouth"), and their set/"acceptance speech" is a roast of the host, the other comics, and possibly also celebrities and/or random people in the audience. Also: it's loosely based on a "Chappelle's Show" sketch called "Pl...

Idea: A service that provides multiple mall Santas of different races, genders, cultures, etc. Also: unique characteristics of the different flavors of Santa, such as an Irish Santa with a red beard and a thick accent that the kids can't understand; kids choosing a race of Santa that they think will give them the most presents or switching Santas if they didn't get the present they wanted the prev...

Idea: A movie based loosely on the viral creepy clown fad of 2016, when, in real life, creepy clowns would wander around outside at night, and in response, mobs of people hunted for (and in a couple cases murdered) creepy clowns. In the movie, a creepy clown is murdered by a teenager who falsely claims self-defense, clowns take him and his family hostage in an attempt to demand he go to trial, and...

Idea: Pop songs for middle-aged people which discuss middle-aged issues, such as erectile dysfunction and health issues, not getting along with your kids, wanting to buy a motorcycle, rigidly-scheduled lovemaking sessions, and partying because your kids finally moved out. Also: the songs could be performed either by middle-aged artists or by popular young artists; questioning whether young adults...

Idea: A new dating app for autistic people. Also: planning dates at Lego stores, Comic-Con, or a train station; creating autistic-specific categories of interests, such as Adventure Time, WWE wrestling, Rubic's Cubes, etc. with a spectrum of how interested you are in the topic (because "no posers"); questioning the gender balance of people with autism, and the differences between autisti...

Idea: A road lane with barriers on both sides (like bumper bowling or a Hot Wheels track or a Boring Company tunnel) where it's legal to drive drunk. Also: instead of trying and failing to use police and strict penalties to prevent drunk driving, maybe it'd be safer (for other people) to allow people to drive drunk if they're a safe distance away; people paying to watch entertaining videos and liv...

Idea: Wind chimes that hang from the rear-view mirror of your car, which was a business idea his mom had when he was a kid. Also: questioning whether a wind chime clanging every time you use the brakes would be annoying; worrying that your mom's bad business idea will bankrupt the family Fat Steve ( instagram.com/fatstevecomedy ) Emmanuel Lechuga ( instagram.com/emmanuel_lechuga_comedy ) Ryan Brow...

Idea: A high school class where you independently browse video and info of former students to see how they did in college, career, and life, to encourage you to relate that back to you to help you plan your academics, career, and life. Also: the video would include the former student sitting in class, socializing in the lunchroom and at school events, giving MTV-Real World style confessionals abou...

An absurd brainstorming session on how to create T-shirts that you can wear for a week or more (because you're too lazy to pick out and/or change your clothes), including making T-shirts out of human skin so you can wear them and wash them while you shower. Also: multi-layered T-shirts where you can remove (or dissolve) the innermost layer which collects sweat before it starts to smell bad; tattoo...

Idea (satire): A college to be attended by only rich kids where they won't be annoyed by "poors" complaining about high tuition, and they learn rich people skills like white collar crime, avoiding taxes, condescension, etc. Also: majoring in crypto and minoring in convincing other people to invest their life savings into crypto; owning teams of poors who compete for them in sporting even...

Idea: An improv show format which is an absurdist parody of a rigid agenda-based speech of a Toastmaster public speaking course. The name "toady mustard" is based on a funny autocorrect re-spelling of the word "Toastmaster". Also: the rigid agenda would give the improv performers clear roles and make the longform show feel like a series of distinct shortform games and bits (eac...

Idea: A satirical weight loss program where you strategically jump between (mostly) unhealthy weight loss techniques to ensure you don't do any of them long enough to cause permanent bodily damage. Examples of weight loss techniques included in the program could be fasting, tapeworm, stimulants, medically-induced coma, Fen-Fen (a banned diet pill cocktail), Wim Hof ice hikes, a jug of pre-colonosc...

Idea: To expand the forklift driving championship into a multi-city touring competition/festival, and also expand it to include a variety of forklift and warehouse-related events. Also: forklift events could include obstacle courses (difficult turns, uneven and wet floors, mannequins or robots in the way, etc.), box stacking (speed, height, perfect box alignment), picking up and moving things with...

Idea: An AI-based app which runs on nearby people's (primarily teenagers) phones/Airpods and/or augmented reality glasses that filters (in real-time) how they hear and/or see you in order to make them perceive you as "cool". Also: making it appear like you're saying cool Gen Z/Alpha slang, and a list of recent slang words/expressions and whether we think they're funny; it could be custom...

A loose conversation and brainstorming session about pranks, many performed by EMTs in an ambulance, and an idea to turn an old ambulance into a prank/flashmob entry/getaway vehicle. Also: a prank involving stealing pizzas and/or spoiling them by putting pineapple on them; using "Oh Danny Boy" from the Chumbawumba song "Tubthumping" as the siren for the prankulance; a heist mov...

Idea: An app that keeps track of all of your food orders from all apps and allows you to quickly search through them to find a meal to order again. Also: it shouldn't take 300 clicks and a memory puzzle to find a specific dish in food delivery app(s); the hilariousness of kids using apps to order crazy things like 1000 popsicles; combining the food history app with Spotify to recommend foods based...

Idea: A comedic performance (either on stage or on TikTok) in an over-the-top costume representing one of the seven chakras which shows both love for and criticism of gurus and the culture of yoga, meditation, and "New Age"/"Eastern" religion/spirituality. Also: Shelly walking through the audience of a comedy club spreading sage and blessing hecklers while dressed as a "ro...

Idea: A sci-fi teleportation device built into showers (because "Dr. Who"-style phone booths don't really exist anymore, and therefore the shower is the most common pod-shaped location to use for teleportation). Also: keeping your shower cleaner because people will be teleporting in and out of it; using it to escape from bad dates; always teleporting to remote toilet facilities instead o...

Idea: A movie musical where the deceased lead singer of Linkin Park (Chester Bennington) is contacted via seance by his grieving children. Then, in order to solve their financial woes and to help them emotionally, he performs a new music album from beyond the grave. His voice would be generated for the movie using AI. Also: AI voice replication is getting really, really good; in the movie, he can...

Idea: A TV show where people air grievances against engineers of bad and/or needlessly difficult to repair products, and the engineer responsible either immediately faces severe consequences (decided by the audience), or they have a chance to repair a broken product, and if they designed it so poorly that they fail to quickly repair it, then they (and possibly even their family) face the severe co...

Idea: A TV show where real-life disputes are resolved via boxing matches and comedians commentate and then roast the winner (because roasting the loser would be too cruel). Also: providing a healthier outlet for male rage than gun violence; offering the bully free therapy instead of roasting them (because the US will do anything to avoid universal health care); comparing the idea to the TV show &q...

Idea: A semi-satirical DNA-analyzing and family tree investigation service that only tells you negative aspects of your family tree, such as ancestors who did evil things, parents who aren't actually your biological parents, and inherited diseases that will probably kill you. Also: it could "unite everyone in hating where we come from"; maybe everyone should be forced to use this service...

Idea: A mount on a lawnmower for a weedwacker, so you can use the weedwacker while mowing instead of having to walk around the yard twice (once while mowing and once while weedwacking). Also, maybe weedwacker(s) could mount in front of the lawnmower wheels and run while you mow to widen the mowing width. Also: getting rid of the mower blade and just making a lawnmower out of a bunch of weedwackers...
