24-Hour Service Shops with Scheduling App in Grocery Stores

App, Business IdeaTom WalmaComment

Idea: To put 24-hour service shops (haircuts, banks, cafes, pharmacies, primary care doctors, Japanese vending machines, etc.) in grocery stores and have an app for customers to schedule these services before they come in. Customers will come to the store for the service and buy groceries while they're there. Also: grocery delivery will kill grocery stores unless they transition to being a destination for services; workers could be trained to do multiple services (i.e. be both a hairstylist and a bank teller)

Haircut Scheduling App

App, Business IdeaTom WalmaComment

Idea: An app to arrange off-hours haircuts at barbershops/salons so you don't have to take time off work to get a haircut. Also: businesses that make people stand in line or wait should be destroyed (they should hire extra workers and make them wait for customers); the only thing worse than waiting around while getting paid is waiting around while not getting paid; Tom thinks he bombed doing standup comedy because he was too lazy to get his hair cut and he started to grow bangs that look like a bowl cut

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

Sons of James Bond Movie

MovieSam SilversteinComment

Idea: A comedy movie where two college frat bros find out that they're illegitimate sons of a deceased James Bond, and therefore they're the only people on Earth who can complete a spy mission. Also: DNA combination locks, maybe they find dozens of other illegitimate children of James Bond
