Silliness

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

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

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

Deadly Escape Room

Evil, Event or Activity, NSFW, Silliness, TV ShowJason AltComment

Idea: Escape rooms with real danger, like the movie Saw, which are possibly televised. Also: a more intense corporate team-building exercise or test of character for engaged couples, white-collar criminals tend to be smarter than regular criminals and thus would be funner to watch in a Saw-like escape room, wondering why there aren't any recreational drugs that are taken using acupuncture needles

Your Friend's Baby And You

Book, Parenting, SillinessGimmy CiprianoComment

Idea: A book of advice for adults who have no idea how to act around babies that their married friends are having. First chapter: don't touch it. Also: "baby-talk" advice, mind-tricks to talk a friend out of giving their baby a horrible name, when it's okay to swear around a baby or young kid, racism and sexism in babies

Health Care for Aliens

SciFi, SillinessAvery SommerfeldComment

Idea: To provide free health care to space aliens, and also pay them money, so they don't eat us. Also: "It sounds like you're putting a positive spin on us being their slaves", maybe bald aliens travel the universe because hairy aliens' spaceships would fill with hair after 1000s of years of haircuts, maybe people see politicians as "reptilians" because humans never instinctually got used to seeing wrinkly-skinned people (who look like snakes shedding their skin) because we used to die before we could get old enough to have snake-like wrinkly skin

Drone Tarzan

Drones, Futuristic, Silliness, TV Show, TechTom WalmaComment

Idea: To use drones to help you swing through the trees like Tarzan by performing tasks such as helping you build platforms, attaching ropes, transporting piles of leaves to use for padding, resetting the ropes back into swinging position after each stunt, adjusting the position of the ropes as you're flying through the air so you don't miss them and fall to the ground, and filming the stunts for YouTube. Also: other stunts such as ziplines, waterslides, trapeze swings, and catapults; an elaborate Rube-Goldberg machine that results in you breaking your ankle, using a live alligator instead of an inner tube on a waterslide

Phone Numbers as License Plate Numbers

Cars, SillinessDavid WellfareComment

Idea: To use people's phone numbers as their license plate numbers, so if another driver ticks you off, you can call them in rage. Also: nitpicking a joke, stealing someone's license plate and joyriding to cause their phone to ring incessantly, mistaking a Michigan State "SPARTY" license plate as "SPORTY", car roof holograms

Assfa

NSFW, Silliness, InventionDavid WellfareComment

Idea: A rigid banana-shaped luffa holder which obese people can stick to the bathroom wall to use to wash their back, so they don't have to reach around their body and risk getting muscle cramps. Also: other possible uses for such a device, the least American thing ever

Border Wall Taco Holes

Food, Politics and Social Issue, SillinessChris YoungComment

Idea: Holes to allow people in the US to get tacos from taco trucks on the other side of the border wall on the US-Mexico border. Also: Fri-Hole-es, pneumatic tubes (like at a bank) through the border wall

Beerscreen

Invention, Health, SillinessChris YoungComment

Idea: Either something that you add to beer to cause you to gradually sweat out sunscreen, or beer in sunscreen that can be absorbed through the skin. Also: if you smell like beer, alcoholic men might try to lick you, other odd and possibly dangerous ways to ingest alcohol

Upside-Down Cardio

Health, SillinessTom WalmaComment

Idea: To do cardio upside-down to help you cough up pollutants which are stuck in your lungs (such as tar or asbestos) to reduce your risk of developing lung cancer. Also: "handy", riding rollercoasters to dislodge kidney stones, becoming the special needs section of the Nobel Prize winners
