Silliness

Renaissance Festival Astronaut Prank

Silliness, PrankNoah ChappComment

Idea: To go to a Renaissance festival dressed as an astronaut to screw with people. Also: maybe this isn't the best idea, given that people with questionable sanity are walking around with swords; Renaissance festival cleavage; fighting the impulse to distract a sword swallower while he's swallowing a sword; encouraging a kid to juggle fire instead of knives

OCD Thief Comedy Sketch

Silliness, TV ShowSam SilversteinComment

Idea: A comedy sketch where a thief with OCD cleans houses as he robs them. So either the homeowners will be so happy that the house is clean that they forgive him, or they'll blame the maid. Also: a comedy sketch where a gay agoraphobic monster is afraid to come out of the closet... and afraid to come out of the closet

Dementia Debates

Politics and Social Issue, SillinessKhurum SheikhComment

Ideas for special considerations for the upcoming US Presidential debates between the very-old Trump and the very-old Biden, including giving them bathroom breaks and not using bells if they go over time (so you don't startle them and give them a heart attack). Also: dementia-based gaffes are the NASCAR car crashes which keep the debates interesting; gambling and drinking games for the debates; questioning whether you prefer a president who's older than you; Michigan cities have more memorable identities than Ohio cities

Stoned Yetis in Space

TV Show, SillinessPerry MenkenComment

Idea: An absurdist cartoon where stoner Yetis find a crashed alien spaceship and use it to go on adventures trying to find their homeworld and make friends, not realizing they're not aliens and they're scaring everyone they're trying to be friends with. Also: the alien who's spaceship they stole is wandering around Earth; a friendly-seeming spaceship that's actually evil and trying to get the Yetis killed

Garbage Tubes to Space

Silliness, SciFi, FuturisticTim ReaburnComment

Idea: Tubes that shoot garbage into space. The Venturi principle and the surface tension of water would theoretically cause the liquefied garbage to climb up the tube (like water in a tree). Also: Earth would look like the villain Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies; maybe Jupiter and Saturn look brown because they're surrounded by trash that got sucked up into orbit by alien garbage tubes; bending the garbage tubes to launch the garbage into nearby cities with rival sports teams; accidentally sucking the Earth's atmosphere into space

Poorly Performing Gigolo

NSFW, SillinessEric FadieComment

Idea (NSFW): A poorly performing gigolo that other men can hire for their girlfriends to make them appear better in bed by comparison. Also: questioning how you'd know the gigolo is actually bad in bed, not wanting another man who has issues with finishing prematurely to accidentally impregnate your girlfriend, hiring out a gigolo to do the post coital cuddling

Mind-Sharing Clones

NSFW, SciFi, SillinessAvery SommerfeldComment

Idea (NSFW): Sci-fi clones which share both your memories and your current thoughts and feelings. Also: dividing work between clones; making sure at least one clone is doing something pleasurable at all times; accumulating all of the fear and sadness of all of your clones and developing PTSD; if you share thoughts with your clone, what happens if your clone goes to hell?

FartLogger

Tech, Health, Invention, App, SillinessTony VasekComment

Idea: A bed that counts and analyzes your farts for health purposes. Also: comparing your fart count to the foods you ate to figure out which foods cause you to fart; taffy-induced stomach gurgling masking the sounds of a potential burglary; keeping drugs on hand so if you accidentally shart in your girlfriend's bed you can lie and say that you muled the drugs so you can party

Fidget Spinners With Age Detection (So Adults Can't Use Them)

SillinessTony VasekComment

Idea: To put an age detection device onto fidget spinners so people over the age of 10 can't use them. Also: adults using fidget spinners on Twitter; social media algorithms exaggerating fads; using a fidget spinner to generate electricity to charge your phone

Electricity-Generating Adult Toys

NSFW, Silliness, EnvironmentalismMisho ShakurComment

Idea (NSFW): A flashlight-shaped adult toy which generates electricity while its being used. Also: giving it to your dad to charge it up; harnessing shame for electricity; giving people drugs to prevent climax so they generate more electricity; a vibrating bicycle seat for women

ExTracker

App, Silliness, TechLauren UchalikComment

Idea: A location-based app to show you where your exes are so you can avoid them, especially when out in public. Also: using notifications and maps; using smoke bombs to help you evade them if they get too close; hiring a sniper to shoot your ex with a dart containing a tracking chip

Dogpocalypse

SciFi, Silliness, Pets, NSFW, MovieJon MullinixComment

Idea (NSFW): An absurdist futuristic sci-fi movie where a genetically modified half-human half-cat villain tries to destroy all dogs, and a hero has to genetically modify himself to be half-human half-dog in order to breed with the last living dog. Also: the possible cruelty of shooting movies using animals

Replacement for Blue Jeans

Clothing, Futuristic, Tech, SillinessJohn SopkowiczComment

Idea: Pants made out of nanobots which can also go inside your body and help you, by curing diseases or whatever. Also: yoga pants; if some of the pants go inside of you, they must be capris

Mind-Controlled Yoga Ropes

Health, Futuristic, Silliness, Tech, RobotsTom WalmaComment

Idea: Yoga ropes that you control with your mind so you can stretch your body without using your muscles to push your bones around (because using muscle ruins the relaxation of stretching and yawning). Also: enabling stretches which aren't possible using muscles; accidentally getting stuck in a Jigsaw trap from the Saw movies; using a combination of a mind-controlled hammock or bed and a mind-controlled toilet so you don't have to get up to use the bathroom

Jurassic Park Theme Bar

Food, Movie, SillinessGerrit ElzingaComment

Idea: A bar themed after the movie Jurassic Park. The bar tap would be amber with a mosquito in it. There'd be themed drink names, such as "Clever Girl" and "Hold On To Your Butts". Behind the bar, there 'd be a mural of a shirtless Jeff Goldblum. In the parking lot, there'd be an upside-down car, and a toilet sitting nearby with a bunch of broken boards on the ground next to it

Standup Comedy, Food, Business Idea, SillinessGarri MaderaComment

Idea: To open a coffee shop where the employees are comedians. The coffee might get served with lewd images in the foam. If the customer orders a roast, they get roasted. Or if it's a dark roast, they might get jokes about 9-11.

Far Out Diet

Health, Futuristic, SciFi, SillinessTom WalmaComment

Idea: To shoot overweight people into space so that they can't cheat on their diet, and therefore scientists can gather better diet data. Also: in the movie "Gravity", Sandra Bullock is risking her life jumping from spaceship to spaceship to avoid space debris. In this case, people would be risking their lives jumping from spaceship to spaceship...for a candy bar; overweight people in space could accidentally serve as appetizers for aliens who might develop a taste for human meat

InstaCrowd

Standup Comedy, Silliness, NSFWMark BontoComment

Idea: To fill empty seats at a standup comedy show with inflatable audience members. Also: comedians would perform lewd acts on the inflatable audience; disguising yourself as an inflatable audience member and waiting for the comic to perform lewd acts on you; questioning whether to give the inflatable audience a "heckle mode"; an inflatable audience could be a safety feature if you're in a flood zone or on a cruise ship
