Boozr

Idea: An app for buying and delivering booze and other items from a local liquor store to your house (or the nearest corner if you're homeless). Or it could be like an ice cream truck for adults, in which case grown men holding dollar bills would be drunkenly chasing the booze truck through the neighborhood in a zig-zag line. Also: A liquor-shaped vehicle similar to the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile

Clothing "Photo Fit" App

Idea: A shopping app that uses photo(s) of you (in your underwear) to calculate and show you what the clothes would look like on your body. Also: hackers stealing semi-nude photos from the app; helping the app determine your body dimensions by standing next to a celebrity mannequin (for example, Seth Rogan) in your photos; having to explain to other people why you have a mannequin of Seth Rogan in his tighty-whities in your house

Wild Animal Home Renovation Show

Idea: A home renovation show for the homes or habitats of wild animals (bears, beavers, birds, etc). Examples of renovations include a recliner for a sloth, salmon on tap for a bear, and an even dirtier toilet for a sewer rat. The TV show could show sad back stories (such as a penguin getting covered with oil during an oil spill) and could give the animals special gifts (like a prosthetic leg). The animals could maul the hosts to death if they don't like the renovations. Also: a more humane zoo; famous attempts to build armor to survive animal attacks; PETA bailing out somebody who burned down an animal testing lab at a university and then returning to the university to recruit new members; Tom got chewed out as a child in the 90s for emailing a nature conservatory asking for funny chimp videos

Poo-pourri Air Horn Prank

Idea: A prank where a very loud air horn is disguised as "poo pouri" toilet spray. If someone has to go to the bathroom really badly, and they try to spray the "toilet spray" before pulling down their pants, the shock of the unexpected air horn might cause them to accidentally "let one loose" in their pants next to the toilet. It could also sound like a fart and/or release a bad smell, letting other people know that you're pooping, which is a fact that you were trying to hide by using the "toilet spray". Also: using sound vibrations from the air horn to dislodge kidney stones; keeping a urine sample in the fridge at work

Vape Lanyard

Idea: A lanyard for a vape pen to prevent other people from wondering away with it after borrowing it, and also to allow other people to identify and avoid "vapists" (because the vape lanyard would stick out of their pocket like the chain of a chain wallet). Also: the risk of a vape pen breaking in your pocket; a weird idea to make vaping cooler

"Ice Baby" Winter Car Cover

Idea: A heated car cover for winter so you don't have to scrape snow and ice off your car. When not in use, it would be kept inside a box in one of the car seats. The box would look like a baby, and would be hollow like a Russian nesting doll. The car cover would be permanently attached to the box, and would have a hole for your car door latch, so you could close your car door with part of the car cover still inside the car (and also connected to the cigarette lighter for electricity to heat the car cover in the rare case that ice freezes it to the outside of the car). Also, keeping part of the car cover attached to the box in the car seat ensures that the car cover is always aligned correctly for quickly and easily wrapping it around the car (i.e. you don't have to fumble with finding the front of the car cover, the car cover blowing away, etc). Also: a parking spot which has an electric car charger could also have some sort of electronic device to keep snow and ice off the car which is parked there; using fire to remove a frozen-on car cover

High-Stakes "Rock, Paper, Scissors"

Idea: A variation of the game "rock, paper, scissors" which involves betting in a way similar to poker and playing in groups instead of 1-on-1, with the intent of being a game of skill like poker. Also: the essence of "rock, paper, scissors"; a game kit which includes 1) sensors to prevent cheaters from changing their choice a split second after the round ends, 2) computerized scorekeeping, and 3) an electronic display of the results of recent rounds of the game to help you formulate a strategy for future rounds; achieving success on Kickstarter by selling a product so stupid that it gains attention (for example, by selling a game that you can play for free)

Scare-eolas

Idea: Holograms of horror movie villains that women can project out of their nipples to scare off creepy guys who stare at their breasts. Also: using the holograms to project clothes to allow you to be nude in public; holograms for men (cree-penis, i.e. "creepiness"); questioning whether "Naked Mile" nude runs still occur at colleges; accidentally training babies to suckle on serial killers' faces

Hollywood Sauce

Idea: A late-night-style comedic talk show about movies, including a comedy monologue and segments such as Hollywood News, Parents Popcorn Pick of the Week, reviews of new release movies, and miscellaneous comedy sketches. Also: streaming services and movie watching parties with your friends as a replacement for movie theaters; crying during the Pixar movie Up in front of your friends; watch Hollywood Sauce on the Salsa Parlor YouTube channel

Virtual-Only Experiences With Real Human Guides

A bunch of ideas for virtual (i.e. Zoom/Skype) entertainment experiences with real human guides, where the experiences would be impossible to do in-person in the real world (as opposed to "Amazon Explore", which is virtual versions of real-world experiences). Examples include virtual tours of historical places and historical disasters, virtual tours of real-world places with "inappropriate" tour guides (such as comedians), video-drone tours of real world places which are off-limits to tourists (the moon, parts of the Grand Canyon, etc.), and real world events/games where the person participating virtually plays a role of a team (for example, being a lookout in a heist)

Wearing An Object Around Your Neck

Idea: For everybody to wear an object around their neck like the rapper Flavor Flav while they're out in public, such as a calculator (so people know that you can be counted on). The object can be used for self-expression and as a non-offensive conversation starter, or the object can be useful, such as a lanyard containing your keys when you're at the gym, extra carrying capacity at the airport, or a condom when you're at Martis Gras. But be careful not to wear something that could impale your neck if you trip and fall. Also: truck nuts, poor object choices for self-expression

Kale for the Homeless

Inspired by a standup comedy premise that kale tastes so bad that hungry/homeless people wouldn't take it, the idea is a charity that gives raw kale (and only kale) to the homeless. It'd supply nutrients that the homeless don't get from handouts on the street (snacks, fast food, food from street vendors), assuming that we can convince the homeless to actually eat it. Also: questioning whether it would be charity or torture; the homeless could pad their coats with the kale or burn it for warmth; homeless people struggling to eat kale without gagging might inspire sympathy from passers-by who might therefore give more donations; could we teach the homeless in the US to grow their own food in community gardens like the homeless do in Vietnam

Pleasure Chemical Vacation Planning

Idea: To plan vacations around the science of brain chemistry, such as the concept that it takes a few hours or days to fully replenish pleasure-inducing brain chemicals. For example, if it takes a few days to replenish a brain pleasure chemical like dopamine, in the meantime, you could schedule leisure activities which require different brain pleasure chemicals, such as a rollercoaster which requires lots of adrenaline but not much dopamine. Also: varying your schedule so your body can't predict its future state and level you out (i.e. make you bored)

Happiness Coma

Idea: To periodically go on a pleasure blitz, and then voluntarily go into a coma for a period of time (a few days to a couple weeks) while your dopamine levels recover or while your recreational drug tolerances go back down to base levels. Also: If scientists cure aging, there's no need to worry about wasting your life in a coma; you could lose weight while in the coma; making someone forget a pleasurable experience so they can experience it with the same intensity again; why it's good to have boring dreams

CRISPR DNA Editing App

Sci-Fi Idea (NSFW): A portable CRISPR DNA-editing device which connects to a cell phone and allows you to design changes to your body using an app, such as growing a tail or becoming taller. Also: you'd be trusting a company like Apple to edit your genes (think about all of the update errors that might happen to your body); using the device to make yourself look exactly like another person; questioning whether you want to change your body so badly that you'd be willing to endure intense pain or eat the body part being improved or replaced

Shake and Shock Alarm Clock

Idea (NSFW): An alarm to shake your bed or shock you to wake you up. It could also defibrillate you, scare you during horror movies, and pleasure you. But don't use it if you're pregnant (wink wink). Also: it would hurt coffee sales; gradually shaking you more intensely until you wake up; hacking it to strengthen the shock

Frankenburger

Idea: A healthy fast food restaurant which proudly proclaims that its food is not natural and that its veggie and/or lab-grown meat doesn't taste as good as real meat. But it's the same price, is humane to animals, is half the calories, and (unlike normal fast food) is reheatable. And the taste is constantly improving (multiple times per year), which encourages people to come back and try it again. Also: encouraging people to cook their own food is a poor design for society; health food snobs contribute to the obesity crisis by refusing to eat healthy food at fast food restaurants

Government Prostitution Service

Idea: A government service to pay for prostitutes for young men to improve their mental health and reduce the amount of sexual assault. Also: On the downside, men might lose ambition and just "live off the government tit"; this service might be politically viable in Alaska because the population is like 70% male

Rabid Fandom Extraction Service

Idea: A service to help you get rid of an unhealthy or unwanted fandom. In other words, make you hate what you don't want to love anymore. Also: The service is not reversible, but it can make you dislike everything else more, so you're more depressed overall, but you feel like the fandom has returned; using your rabid fandom to annoy less rabid fans out of their fandom and then collecting their fan memorabilia in victory; inducing food allergies to discourage unhealthy eating

Fake Death Metal Band Mockumentary

Idea: Seth looks like a guy who would be in a metal band. He got so sick of trying to convince people he's not in a band, he started telling people he was in a fake band so they'd walk away happy. His idea is a mockumentary about an aspiring metal vocalist with no talent who lies and says that he started a metal band, but, unlike the real Seth, he books gigs and hypes up the band on the Internet and with killer fliers, but then keeps coming up with excuses to cancel the gigs (such as "the room is too dark to play") and never actually performs. Also: blurring the line between yourself and a character like Andrew "Dice" Clay; bands saying they're like nothing you've ever heard before and then immediately following that up with "we sound like band X mixed with band Y"
