Smart Ladder

Idea: To put electronics into ladders to tell you if it's safe to climb them and to call an ambulance if you fall off. Also: a built-in breathalyzer; rungs that fold down to prevent you from climbing up too high if the ladder determines it's unsafe; ladder add-on/extension devices such as stakes to stick into the dirt or "snake arms" on the top of the ladder to wrap around a tree branch or other support-providing object; speakers to warn you if the ladder is starting to become unstable and to play the song "It's Raining Men" if you fall off; discussing the scariness of using a ladder

"U Get What U Get" Restaurant

Idea: A restaurant which intentionally serves you a different meal than what you ordered. The food you receive will be in the same general category/family as what you ordered (i.e. if you order a soup, they bring you a different soup; if you order a vegan dish, they bring you a different vegan dish). The food will be high quality and will not be pre-cooked. Also: after they've served you, they'll tell you what food it actually is (you won't be left wondering what you're looking at on your plate); they may expand upon the theme by giving you wrongly-sized eating utensils, having a different waiter/waitress come to your table each time, randomizing the dinner reservation waitlist, etc.; why people who work in restaurants hate DoorDash, Uber Eats, GrubHub, and Postmates

Troll Finder App

Idea: A (satirical) app or web service to identify Internet trolls and help you *legally* commit acts of vengeance upon them, such as legalized "swatting" and leaving flaming bags of poo at their door. Also: debating whether responding to a troll with anger and hate makes you a troll, or whether only the person who "threw the first punch" should be considered a troll; an alternative "troll finder" web service which finds the other social media accounts of a troll and allows you to send messages to those other accounts but doesn't reveal ("dox") those other accounts to you; using Wile E Coyote fake doors to prevent "swatting"; wanting to be trolled because it would be fun to use a "Troll Finder App" against a troll; a few examples of Internet comments on the border of trolling and constructive criticism, and deciding whether they'd warrant a vengeful response

1980s-Style Sitcoms of Serial Killers

Idea: To make sitcoms in the style of the 1980s or 1990s (containing audience cheers, laugh tracks, etc.) in which the main character(s) are serial killers. Examples could be "Manson Family Matters", "Perfect Stranglers", "HH Holmes Improvement", and "Buried With Children". Also: a show about murderous pets or puppets; a show which uses CGI to allow grown-up child stars to go back into their old shows and murder their past selves (example: Neil Patrick Harris murdering Doogie Howser); a "Dating Game"-style show to pick a serial killer's next victim or where the losing contestants are "eliminated"
