Mechanic Sitcom

Idea: A sitcom about a mechanic, featuring all of the weird things about being a mechanic in a car dealership, such as people leaving weird things in their car (guns, soiled undies, drugs, etc.), people's dumb failed attempts to fix their own cars, and how it's somehow still allowed for them to display pictures of nude women in the workspace

"Honky" Custom Car Horn Sound Device

Idea: A device (the "honky") that makes different car horn sounds to communicate different things, like "look out", "excuse me", "screw you", or "my bad". Also, maybe configurable text on the front/rear or your car that says "move over"

Elevated Roads

Idea: All roads/driveways/parking should be elevated, to allow animals to roam free, and for people to live in harmony with nature on the ground. Although it might ruin the fun of rollercoasters

Staircase House

Idea: A house where the entire floor of every room consists of stairs. It would be cleverly designed to eliminate the need for hallways and to utilize vertical space, i.e. the ceiling of the entire room (i.e. over the toilet, kitchen sink, bed, etc) doesn't need to be 8 foot high, and instead the rooms above can be lowered, possibly allowing 4 stories worth of rooms to be contained in the space of 3 stories. Some of the stairwells can contain drawers for storage or fold-out bleacher/theater seats, etc.

Dating Site Public Data Integration

Idea: A dating site which integrates with other websites, so you can see a potential date's Netflix viewing history, song listening history, or political/news interests (if they chose to expose this information). This type of information is likely more accurate than typical dating site questionnaires

Left-Handed Dating

Idea (NSFW): An online-dating site exclusively for left-handed people (who think they're superior to right-handed people). Also: Jeff's history of forced right-handedness, left-handedness and depth perception

Old Person Tech Assistant

Idea: A special tech support employee specifically for helping old people do very basic tech tasks, such as use a mouse or do anything more advanced than making a phone call on a smart phone

Obama Challenge

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

Replacement Body / Replacement Brain

Idea: In the 1950s, a Russian scientist was able to attach a dog's head onto another dog's body, and it survived for a few weeks. We should be able to do much better now. So if a person is terminally ill, we should attach their brain/head to a machine (i.e. replacement body) to get maybe a few months of extra life, and attach the body to a machine (i.e. replacement brain). The head/brain can live a little longer and have fun in virtual reality games, and the body can be used for medical testing, without worrying about causing suffering. Over time, as the technology gets better, the head can live longer and longer, to the point where maybe everyone who is old and/or has minor health problems will choose to do it, even if not terminally ill

Childhood Obesity Cure

Idea: To give obese kids/teenagers HGH (human growth hormone), so they become taller and less obese. Maybe also give kids/teenagers who are likely to become obese drugs to stunt their growth, so that later when they start to become obese, they can be given higher doses of HGH to fight harder against obesity.

Animal Kingdom

Idea: A sci-fi movie kind of like Planet of the Apes, except that multiple species of animals, such as lab rats/mice and dogs, become more intelligent than humans. Some types of animals, such as dogs, side with humans, and others side against humans. A giant civil war between intelligent animals occurs (which humans are not aware of), where one side wants to take over the world and destroy/enslave humans, and the other side wants to leave humans alone and escape to outer space

Gas Mask

Idea: A spray that masks the smell of farts. Or maybe a pill containing electronics which detect whether smell-cancelling chemicals need to be released while it passes through your body. Also: fart-filtering underwear, the professional fart performer (flatulist) at the Moulin Rouge

10 Coronavirus Prevention Ideas

Ten (mostly dumb) ideas to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus, including smelling bad on purpose to encourage social distancing, four ways to block particles being sneezed out or coughed up from spreading, two gadgets that prevent you from touching your face, an app which uses augmented reality glasses to highlight possibly-infected people to help you avoid them, "no-touch" bathrooms where you never have to touch anything (and risk getting Coronavirus on your hands) until you're finished and ready to wash your hands, and a few thoughts about reducing/preventing the spread of Coronavirus in restaurants

"Just Say You Don't Want To Go" Excuses Blog

Idea: A blog to showcase the ridiculous excuses people give to comics (or other performers) when they don't want to go to their shows. Also: people repeatedly asking when you're performing and then never showing up, catching someone who made a BS excuse in their lie and then exploiting their guilt for free drinks, it probably won't break a performer's heart if you don't want to go to their show

Anti-High Pill

Idea: A pill to quickly make you un-high if you have something important to do, like a job interview. Also: a failed attempt to counteract a high using other drugs, "Markus YOLO", speculation on futuristic Neuralink-style ways to get high or un-high

Washer Dryer Combo

Idea: A washer/dryer combo consisting of only one machine, so you don't have to move clothes from the washer to the dryer. Note that these washer/dryer combos exist and are common overseas, but we heard that they don't work very well. Also: the joy of hang drying your clothes outdoors (if the outdoors isn't spoiled by smog), wearing latex so that you can wash and dry your clothes in the dishwasher, a (joke) WWII Coronavirus conspiracy theory

Future Car

Idea: A single-person electric car/vehicle that's skinny enough to drive through a door into a house or building (so you no longer need a garage, and you can go fast down hallways at work). It can orient itself both horizontally like a motorcycle and vertically like a Segway, and travel up and down elevator shafts instead of using elevators.

Also, the privacy of having your own transportation vehicle is important, because at least one day of your life you'll probably shart your pants, and you don't want to prolong your humiliation by taking public transportation back to your house
