Old Man Strip Clubs

NSFW, SillinessBranden MilskComment

Idea: Strip clubs which keep prices low by using old men wearing sweaters as strippers. Also: "lemon party", the smell of incontinent old men wearing sweaters and profusely sweating, giving the old men poor tips as revenge because they don't understand money and only gave you 25 cents to mow their lawn

Single-Day Presidential Campaigns

Silliness, Politics and Social IssueJoel FragomeniComment

Idea: A presidential election where the candidates aren't announced until the day before the election. Also: debates don't matter because they aren't really debates anyway. Alternate idea: giving voters drugs that temporarily impair their memories on election day to force them to take a fresh look at the candidates

SlowPokeAlypse

SillinessZachary BurcarComment

Idea: To slow down travel to reduce the stressful fast pace of life. Also: people jumping onto the slower vehicles while they're moving and robbing them (like modern-day wild west train robberies), a crazy plan for world domination which involves human spiders and removing dates from all photos

Bondage Gear For Coronavirus Prevention

Silliness, NSFWScott GaughanComment

Idea: To use leather bondage masks for Coronavirus prevention, because leather masks with shiny silver zippers are stronger (and therefore better) than paper masks and cloth masks. Also: whips to encourage social distancing, "breath play", questioning whether Canadians are too polite for BDSM

Forrest Gump 2 Still Running

Movie, Silliness, SciFiMichael DinkelisComment

Idea: A parody sci-fi sequal to the movie Forrest Gump, where Forrest Gump lives as artificial intelligence in a computer, plays Pong instead of Ping Pong, takes over Skynet, and blows up the world in order to destroy all pornographic digital pictures of Jenny

Slamchat

App, Silliness, TechErich LauxComment

Idea: An app which detects that you've thrown your phone and simulates an old school angry phone slam to the person on the other end of the call. Also: maybe automatically delete the person on the other end of the call from your contacts, maybe use a custom angry hangup message instead of a "phone slam" sound

Recreational Fake Kidnapping

Event or Activity, SillinessDan TurcoComment

Idea: A recreational fake kidnapping service (as inspired by "escape rooms") where you have to solve puzzles to escape. Also: a fake kidnapping "promposal" and how it could go wrong, PTSD, staging a heroic escape (as a couple) from fake kidnappers and then never telling your girl/boyfriend that it was fake

Uncooked Chicken Diet

Evil, Health, Silliness, FoodDan TurcoComment

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight

Daily Affirmation Mirror

Tech, SillinessSteve HansenComment

Idea: A daily affirmation mirror, which, when you look at yourself, makes you feel better about your disappointing appearance by saying "it's not your fault" (because hearing someone else say it is more convincing than just saying it to yourself). Also discussed: hacking the mirror to play mind games on a spouse, massage devices as "plausible deniability adult toys"

Obama Challenge

Event or Activity, Silliness, Prank, EducationTom WalmaComment

Idea: A social experiment or contest to see what's memorable. A bunch of contestants would each do something weird or interesting while meeting a famous person (such as President Obama) in public for a 5-10 second handshake or autograph. Then, years later, the famous person is put in a room with each of the contestants, to see which contestants were remembered by the famous person
