Beach Hot Dog Stand

Idea: A small business selling hot dogs on the beach. Also: pot dogs; if it's a nude beach, would the hot dogs have a bun?; picking on the idea a little too much by saying that the hot dogs would get covered by sand, sweat, seagull poop, and flakes of sun-burnt skin

Pedophile Brain Scans

Idea: Brain scanning of pedophiles and other criminals to check for and remove brain tumors which might be causing their criminal impulses. Also: a supervillain injecting brain tumors to cause criminal impulses, giving kids chemotherapy guns to protect them from the zombie-like brain tumor criminals, fine-tuning the pedophile-causing brain tumors to make everybody attracted to you instead

Bro Sportscasters

Idea: Sports broadcasters who act like normal sports fans who drink, curse, and scream in excitement. Also: drunk guy "facts" instead of nerdy sports encyclopedia stats, announcers rooting for a specific team if they want to, Joe Rogan's fight companions but for the NFL, using codenames for teams and players if the NFL won't allow you to act as a sportscaster on a livestream on the Internet

Socialburn

Idea: A cheap phone-like device which only communicates using Bluetooth or point-to-point WiFi with friends, primarily for social networking of juicy gossip/media that you don't want on the Internet. Also: a new category of slower but more secure social media posts/messages, posts/messages bouncing from friend-to-friend and acknowledgements bouncing back, having a different "socialburn" device for each of your social cliques, a shockingly evil use of this device

Like For Real Though

Idea: a mid-2000's-MTV-style talk show which interviews college kids returning to their dorm building late at night about their night out (or whatever else they decide to talk about). Also: drunk college kids describing crazy parties, sometimes you get Fresh Air and sometimes you get Jerry Springer, an improvised mock interview which might appear on the show

Lego-izing Every Movie

Idea: To make Lego versions of all movies (because the first two Lego movies were so awesome). Also: Lego Citizen Kane, Lego 13 Going on 30, a Lego Instagram filter for all existing movies, Lego standup comedy; a real-life Lego person (a guy in a Lego costume) would be terrifying

Mandatory Texting Car

Idea: A car which requires you to be texting the entire time you drive it. Also: waiting to check your texts until you're driving, questioning whether you'd be allowed to drive if you didn't have friends to text, texting at parties to cope with social anxiety, autonomous cars forcing you to text if you're drunk to keep you from trying to drive

Social Media Frame

Idea: An app which runs on "smart glasses" and allows you to view the most recent social media post(s) of whoever you're looking at. The primary purpose is to see if you're compatible with them (or see if they're crazy) before flirting with them. Also: the TV show "You" and questioning whether the app is creepy, altering your flirting strategy based on their social media, we each share our most recent tweet and discuss whether it'd discourage women from flirting with us

Car Dealership Murder Mystery

Idea: A comedic murder mystery play similar to the movie "Clue" which takes place in a racially-diverse car dealership during a big car sale. Also: your coworkers at the car dealership are being killed off but you don't run away or call the police because their deaths mean that you'll get more sales commissions, the worst customers at a used car dealership are white women who are retired schoolteachers

Booze Buffet

Idea: A drinking establishment which serves plain alcohol and contains a self-serve buffet of drink mixers, with a guidebook of common drink recipes. Also: beer snobs judgmentally watching you mix your drink, saving money on drinks by not having to pay a bartender, the "bar" is a physical barrier to block drunk people from stealing alcohol, the weirdness of drinking laws

Breakfast Club Musical

Idea: A musical remake of the 1985 teen movie "The Breakfast Club". Also: questioning whether the 80s "goth" and "burnout" stereotypes from the movie are still relevant, casting the burnout kid from the 80s movie as the stuffy principle in the musical remake, making the audience of the musical sit in uncomfortable school desks like they're in detention with the cast

Manually-Controlled Moonbots

Idea: To build a moon colony using remote-control robots piloted by uneducated factory workers. Also: generational space penis envy, giving uneducated people jobs controlling remote-control moon robots to keep them from revolting and destroying society, Elon Musk's AI-based robot built Mars colony might lead to the AI-based robot apocalypse but a remote-control-based robot built moon colony might help us merge with machines and save us from the AI-based robot apocalypse

Ballpit Moon Dome

Idea: A colony inside a moon crater where the roof is self-repairing and is made out of small balloons. Also: questioning whether the idea makes sense, a roof collapse where the balloons fall into the crater and everyone suffocates would look like the most horrific birthday party of all time

Squawkbox

Idea: A series of soundproof rooms (called "squawkboxes") along the walls of a movie theater in which small groups of people can talk to each other and use their cell phones while watching the movie. Also: themed squawkboxes such as "hotel room squawkboxes" and "parental lounge squawkboxes" and "singles bar squawkboxes", types of movies that would be best for squawkboxes

Serialized Horror Podcast

Idea: A serialized horror podcast set in a dystopian future where a group of people who are forced to spend their entire lives in a giant haunted skyscraper talk amongst each other and try to figure out what's happening. Also: unraveling a mystery, spooky sound effects, not knowing what's going on in the outside world

Social Role App

Idea: A social media app to share nearby people's "roles" in your life with them, as if life was a movie, such as "clumsy waiter", "creepy security guard", or "hot girl who lives on my floor". Also: gamifying casual relationships, a passive form of dominance, a "tag cloud" of your most common roles/attributes, finding out how people perceive you and then figuring out how to change yourself to improve people's perceptions and/or expectations of you

Animation Studio Sitcom

Idea: A smart, topical, and meta sitcom about workers at an animation studio who never get to finish their movie because real world news keeps necessitating plot changes. Also: not knowing the plot of the movie you're animating, releasing the movie that the animators are creating in the sitcom as an actual movie, manipulating world events to match the movie you're working on

Innovation Olympics

Idea: A new type of Olympics where each event is designed to promote innovation in human biological enhancement/recovery, sporting equipment technology, or both; events include Human Battering Ram, Vertical Running, Flugtag (human powered flying machines), Artificial Liver Drinking Contest, and Team Pole Vault (where the pole vaulter goes so high they need to parachute down). Also: a moderate amount of danger and serious injury is encouraged because it advances the technology of medicine and physical therapy

Pot Paranoia Reduction App

Idea: An app to remind people who are smoking weed or eating edibles not to freak out, i.e. no cops are coming to get them (unless, of course, the cops are coming to get them). Also: friends could alter the app to prank you, the app might backfire and freak you out more if you're on LCD

Underage Indicator

Idea: A visual indicator that a woman is underage so you don't accidentally hit on her. Also: steroid-filled chickens that might make women grow up quicker and also beat you up, comedians telling dirty jokes when there are kids in the audience, the possibility of using a weird disappearing birthmark as an underage indicator
