Spheres-Are-Us and Death Contracts

Silliness, PrankJoey DerderianComment

Two idea: 1) Two sharp blades connected by a pivot point and used to cut paper, 2) house payment contracts which are meant to be paid until you die. Also: totally-not-invented-before ideas, the origins of the word "mortgage", quitting a job out of moral principle

Archimedes Death Mirror

Evil, Cars, Silliness, TechSteve HansenComment

Idea: To somehow use your rear-view mirror to blind people who are driving behind you with their brights on. Also: the poetic justice of blinding someone with their own light, intentionally becoming a victim so you can justifiably take delicious revenge

Oceanic Voice Cancellation

Silliness, TechBranden MilskComment

Idea: Voice cancellation where a person's voice is replaced by the soothing sounds of the ocean. Also: it'd make you more likeable if you're an annoying person, the best way to get fired, ruining ocean vacations

Bondage Basement (Reality Show)

TV Show, Silliness, NSFWJason GilleranComment

Idea: A home renovation reality show where they build BDSM "dungeons" and deal with drama such as cost trade-offs, the structural support required to mount equipment on the walls or hang it from the ceiling, prudish contractors, etc. The idea is to be a parody of HDTV reality shows. Also: tiger cages, customized equipment for the obese, the "Silence of the Lambs" pit, a room full of dirty glass coffee tables

Idea: Holograms on the roofs of cars for expressing anger to nearby drivers. Also: sparkly ambulances in Japan, the 2Pac hologram, the Pepper's ghost illusion, mistaking the car roof hologram for a soul leaving the body after a car crash

Trump and Drake Are The Same Person

Politics and Social Issue, SillinessKevin KeyComment

Idea: A conspiracy theory that Donald Trump and Drake are the same person, because Drake songs sound kind of like Trump speeches. Also: an impression of Trump singing a Drake song, questioning whether Trump is a reptilian, questioning whether successful draft-dodging makes you smart and if you'd dodge the draft

Old Man Strip Clubs

NSFW, SillinessBranden MilskComment

Idea: Strip clubs which keep prices low by using old men wearing sweaters as strippers. Also: "lemon party", the smell of incontinent old men wearing sweaters and profusely sweating, giving the old men poor tips as revenge because they don't understand money and only gave you 25 cents to mow their lawn

Single-Day Presidential Campaigns

Silliness, Politics and Social IssueJoel FragomeniComment

Idea: A presidential election where the candidates aren't announced until the day before the election. Also: debates don't matter because they aren't really debates anyway.

SlowPokeAlypse

SillinessZachary BurcarComment

Idea: To slow down travel to reduce the stressful fast pace of life. Also: people jumping onto the slower vehicles while they're moving and robbing them (like modern-day wild west train robberies), a crazy plan for world domination which involves human spiders and removing dates from all photos

Bondage Gear For Coronavirus Prevention

Silliness, NSFWScott GaughanComment

Idea: To use leather bondage masks for Coronavirus prevention, because leather masks with shiny silver zippers are stronger (and therefore better) than paper masks and cloth masks. Also: whips to encourage social distancing, "breath play", questioning whether Canadians are too polite for BDSM
