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

Neverending Virtual Open Mic

Standup Comedy, Tech, Event or ActivityTom WalmaComment

Idea: To have a never-ending (24 hours a day) virtual open mic for standup comedy. It would use a proprietary system of filtering out background noises of the audience, and would incorporate the emcee, phone screeners, and "bouncers" (who can mute audience members). Also: a few other ideas for movie theaters and live comedy venues; where to locate the emcees around the world for the 24-hour virtual open mic so they all work an evening/night shift; combining a virtual comedy show with a live in-person comedy show

Baby Name Review Board

ParentingJR WilliamsComment

Idea: A baby name review board to prevent lame, misspelled, and offensive baby names. But people could still use the rejected name as a nickname, like "JR" (not his real initials). Also: names that sound dirty in other languages; a possible correlation between bad baby names and parents with tattoos; names that switch gender over time

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

Chill Pill for Women (By A Woman)

HealthMyles De LeeuwComment

Idea (NSFW): A medication for women to allow them to "chill out". Also: how difficult this idea is for men to talk about; would it be immoral to give it to someone without their knowledge; behavior changes in elderly men and elderly women

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

Movie Premiere Comedy Showcase

Event or Activity, Movie, Standup ComedyShane DialsComment

Idea: A show which consists of live standup comedy followed by a movie premiere (such as a Marvel movie). The show is located in a movie theater, and the comedians sometimes do comedy which is loosely related to the movie. Also: how to run shows in movie theaters, falling asleep as an emcee of a midnight show

Retractable Suitcase Wheels

InventionShane DialsComment

Idea: Suitcases with retractable wheels so they don't get torn off in the baggage claim. Also: could maybe use the same mechanism as "heely" shoes; could maybe remove them and use them as "fidget spinners"

Standup ComedyGerrit ElzingaComment

Idea: An online database of jokes (like IMDB is for movies), so comedians who think of a joke can easily check to see if it's been done before. Also: Has every joke you've ever told been done before? Should only headliners' jokes or only jokes told on comedy specials on television be eligible? Shane's story of getting called out on stage for stealing a joke... from himself

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

Remote-Controlled Radio-Powered LEDs

Prank, Tech, FuturisticJeff JohnsonComment

Idea: To use tiny LED lights which can be powered remotely via radio waves (like RFID) for miscellaneous purposes around the house, such as to help you find things or to prank people. Also: putting red LEDs in a squirrel lawn ornament's eyes to scare people walking by at night; using a PC app to find your phone, then using your phone to blink an LED to find your glasses, and then using your glasses to find something else, and then maybe using that thing to find something else, like a never-ending scavenger hunt

SpaceX Earth Disaster Rescue Service

Futuristic, SciFi, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: To use SpaceX rockets to quickly transport elite rescue teams who specialize in a particular type of disaster (fire, earthquake, riot, etc.) to anywhere in the world to rescue people. They'd parachute out of the rocket to get to the disaster, and when finished, they'd take a normal commercial airplane flight to get back. Also: they could use special state-of-the-art multi-million-dollar rescue equipment (which they'd bring with them); we could reduce the overall amount of local cops and rescuers; rocket tips that kind of look like klan masks
