Creativity Wasted

Idea (NSFW): An online-dating site exclusively for left-handed people (who think they're superior to right-handed people). Also: Jeff's history of forced right-handedness, left-handedness and depth perception Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 5 Branden Milsk (twitter.com/BrandenMilsk) Jeff Johnson Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A special tech support employee specifically for helping old people do very basic tech tasks, such as use a mouse or do anything more advanced than making a phone call on a smart phone Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 4 Derek Brand (instagram.com/brand9470) Jon Mullinix (instagram.com/mullinixjon) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: An experiment to see if experienced drunk drivers can drive as well as a sober person Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 4 Derek Brand (instagram.com/brand9470) Jon Mullinix (instagram.com/mullinixjon) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: A social experiment or contest to see what's memorable. A bunch of contestants would each do something weird or interesting while meeting a famous person (such as President Obama) in public for a 5-10 second handshake or autograph. Then, years later, the famous person is put in a room with each of the contestants, to see which contestants were remembered by the famous person Originally from...

Idea: A dating website that allows you to report bad dates who, for example, stole food off your plate, so other people can avoid dating them Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 3 Greg Shur DC Bradley (instagram.com/dcbradleyonig) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Laff Tracks

(NSFW) A small improvised idea for a dirty prank you could do using a time machine Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 3 Greg Shur DC Bradley (instagram.com/dcbradleyonig) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Laff Tracks

Idea: In the 1950s, a Russian scientist was able to attach a dog's head onto another dog's body, and it survived for a few weeks. We should be able to do much better now. So if a person is terminally ill, we should attach their brain/head to a machine (i.e. replacement body) to get maybe a few months of extra life, and attach the body to a machine (i.e. replacement brain). The head/brain can live...

Idea: To give obese kids/teenagers HGH (human growth hormone), so they become taller and less obese. Maybe also give kids/teenagers who are likely to become obese drugs to stunt their growth, so that later when they start to become obese, they can be given higher doses of HGH to fight harder against obesity. Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 2 Shallis Mask Frank A Marty R Tom Walma (twitte...

Idea: A sci-fi movie kind of like Planet of the Apes, except that multiple species of animals, such as lab rats/mice and dogs, become more intelligent than humans. Some types of animals, such as dogs, side with humans, and others side against humans. A giant civil war between intelligent animals occurs (which humans are not aware of), where one side wants to take over the world and destroy/enslave...

Idea: A spray that masks the smell of farts. Or maybe a pill containing electronics which detect whether smell-cancelling chemicals need to be released while it passes through your body. Also: fart-filtering underwear, the professional fart performer (flatulist) at the Moulin Rouge Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 1 Ted Moss (twitter.com/TedMossComedy Podcast: https://TEDTALKS2much.com) J...

Idea: An atheist holiday named "Hole-y Day" where you put a hole in your yard, such as a giant tire, to signify both the vast emptiness of the universe and your desire to participate in a Holey Day free love session with someone you've never been with. Also involves throwing things into holes, monkeys, and a symbolic deity who wears yoga pants. Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 1 Ted Moss...

Idea: A sci-fi device that allows you to use controls currently found on a television remote control (pause, fast-forward, volume up/down, closed captioning, etc.) to control conversations in real life. The primary purpose would be to skip boring small talk when you wish someone would hurry up and get to the point, but you could also pause/rewind if you need to hear something again, etc. Matt Hami...

Idea: If you're too sick to drink water without vomiting it back up, and you cannot get to the hospital, maybe you can avoid dehydration and save your life by butt-chugging water. Also, Matt shares his butt-chugging expertise (Note: not based on medical expertise, please consult a doctor instead) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma, https://creativitywasted.com) Matt Hamilton (Podcast: https://mois...

Idea: A single-person electric car/vehicle that's skinny enough to drive through a door into a house or building (so you no longer need a garage, and you can go fast down hallways at work). It can orient itself both horizontally like a motorcycle and vertically like a Segway, and travel up and down elevator shafts instead of using elevators. Also, the privacy of having your own transportation vehi...

Idea: A (fictional, satirical) website for connecting terminally ill people who wish to die with serial killers who wish to kill them. The goal would be to solve the problems of unwanted end-of-life suffering, and of healthy people being killed. It would be similar to an online dating website, and would help people find a compatible match based on criteria such as the method of execution, location...

Two ideas to help make public restrooms cleaner: 1) A camera inside a bathroom stall door which is mechanically connected to the door lock. It would slide completely inside the door (so it can't see anything) when the door is locked, and align with a hole in the door to view the stall when the door is unlocked, so it can see who made a mess in the stall as they leave the stall, and 2) half-globe-s...

Idea: A sponge or tampon that you insert into your butt to absorb poop, so you can conveniently remove the poop without sitting on the toilet or making any noise. Also: the "dirty tulip", hospital bedpans and how you quickly become incontinent if you don't use your rectal/bowel muscles Sarah Wooley (facebook.com/sarah.s.wooley.7) Justin Siekierka (facebook.com/justin.siekierka ComedyShow: facebook...

Idea: Nets to catch apples which fall out of apple trees, so they don't land on the ground, in which case they can't legally be sold in stores. The nets could also be used to catch deer who wander into the apple orchard trying to eat the apples Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 88 Stu McCallister (twitter.com/StuMcCallister Podcast: soundcloud.com/lmnopodcast) Sal Demilio (twitter.com/SALL...

Idea: A "fast casual" Chipotle-like restaurant for breakfast food (like a breakfast buffet, but with someone standing between you and the food, making you late for work). Or a drive-thru where the breakfast food as squeezed into a portable "breakfast brick" that you can eat in your car Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 88 Stu McCallister (twitter.com/StuMcCallister Podcast: https://soundcl...

Idea: A random sports fan watching a live game in their house is contacted via webcam or smart TV, and given the task of being the referee and making a call in the game. This'll make watching the game exciting because people get a chance to affect the game, but it might destroy your Nana's life if Nana makes a bad call and angers everyone in the community Originally from Creativity Wasted episode...

Idea: A book detailing the author's conversations with God, where the author plays the character of a naive simpleton, and God gives him simple advise on life and how the world works. It'll have an irreverent and humorous bent, despite the misleading title, so people dying of cancer will buy the book seeking emotional comfort and instead find dick jokes Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 88...

Idea: Community events based on a theme (such as clothes, electronics, baby stuff, food, etc.) where people in the community get together to sell, donate, recycle, make, repair, customize, mentor/teach, etc., all based on that particular theme. Kind of like a flea market, recycling center, repair/customization shop, etc. all in one. The goals are to make charity and recycling more convenient and e...

A rant about Facebook and a desire to make it easier and more convenient for people to make and view custom personal web pages, instead of using a (possibly evil) corporation as a social middleman Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 87 Chris Young (twitter.com/chrisyoungcomic Comedy Special Video: drybarcomedy.com/specials/chris-young-buoyant-mon) Camila Ballario (twitter.com/CamilaBallario...

Idea: To Release multiple versions of the same movie idea at about the same time, using different visionary directors (Quentin Tarantino, Alfonso Cuarón, Wes Anderson, etc.), and giving them creative control to make their own versions of the movie Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 87 Chris Young (twitter.com/chrisyoungcomic Comedy Special Video: drybarcomedy.com/specials/chris-young-buoyan...

Idea: An app/service to send social media messages to people on your behalf after you die, so you can get your revenge and/or say constructive things that you don't have the courage to say, and avoid dealing with the consequences. It could make money by charging you if you a) change your mind and don't want to send a message, or b) are on your deathbed and want to see other people's afterlife mess...
