Creativity Wasted

Idea: A comedic performance (either on stage or on TikTok) in an over-the-top costume representing one of the seven chakras which shows both love for and criticism of gurus and the culture of yoga, meditation, and "New Age"/"Eastern" religion/spirituality. Also: Shelly walking through the audience of a comedy club spreading sage and blessing hecklers while dressed as a "root chakra" in a brown root-like skirt with megaphones sticking out of her neck; brainstorming the performance style (Colbert Report-style embodiment of a crazy guru, speaking in deep lingo that the audience won't understand, comedic jumps between deep new-age spiritual concepts and broad topics i.e. "when I'm embodying my highest self I don't eat donuts"), the artistic ideal of focusing exclusively on your artistic vision and not worrying about or even finding out (in the case of social media) what the audience thinks; the risk of failing to live up to that artistic ideal and bombing painfully and becoming the crying girl in a flower costume in the Blind Melon "No Rain" music video

Idea: A sci-fi teleportation device built into showers (because "Dr. Who"-style phone booths don't really exist anymore, and therefore the shower is the most common pod-shaped location to use for teleportation). Also: keeping your shower cleaner because people will be teleporting in and out of it; using it to escape from bad dates; always teleporting to remote toilet facilities instead of having a toilet in your house; kids teleporting between bathrooms in their house to confuse their parents (like a chase scene in Scooby Doo); burning yourself with hot water in the shower and then accidentally pressing the teleport knob and getting teleported to a random house

Idea: A movie musical where the deceased lead singer of Linkin Park (Chester Bennington) is contacted via seance by his grieving children. Then, in order to solve their financial woes and to help them emotionally, he performs a new music album from beyond the grave. His voice would be generated for the movie using AI. Also: AI voice replication is getting really, really good; in the movie, he can only communicate from beyond the grave "in song"; it doesn't make sense that AI gets the artsy jobs and we have to pour over numbers; getting plastic surgery to look like a deceased singer and then getting an AI-based vocal implant to sound like them

Idea: A TV show where people air grievances against engineers of bad and/or needlessly difficult to repair products, and the engineer responsible either immediately faces severe consequences (decided by the audience), or they have a chance to repair a broken product, and if they designed it so poorly that they fail to quickly repair it, then they (and possibly even their family) face the severe consequences. Also: debating whether Pam's grievance was actually the fault of an engineer; expanding the idea to punish other people who screw you over (either intentionally or through incompetence), such as mechanics, service workers, and realtors; customer service reps would either be immediately put on the chopping block for angering consumers, or would have immense power in deciding who's fault the problem was to put them on the chopping block instead

Idea: A TV show where real-life disputes are resolved via boxing matches and comedians commentate and then roast the winner (because roasting the loser would be too cruel). Also: providing a healthier outlet for male rage than gun violence; offering the bully free therapy instead of roasting them (because the US will do anything to avoid universal health care); comparing the idea to the TV show "Bully Beatdown" and discussing whether bullies are a fundamental aspect of this show (and deciding that they are not); having themed episodes, such as teachers vs. grown-up disruptive students, IT workers vs. annoying tech-illiterate office workers, Karens, etc.

Idea: A semi-satirical DNA-analyzing and family tree investigation service that only tells you negative aspects of your family tree, such as ancestors who did evil things, parents who aren't actually your biological parents, and inherited diseases that will probably kill you. Also: it could "unite everyone in hating where we come from"; maybe everyone should be forced to use this service in order to "air out everyone's dirty laundry" all at once; it might backfire if teenage boys find it "metal" and exciting to be related to a historical villain; this service could also solve historical crimes "for evil reasons" i.e. to bum out the murderer's descendants

Idea: A mount on a lawnmower for a weedwacker, so you can use the weedwacker while mowing instead of having to walk around the yard twice (once while mowing and once while weedwacking). Also, maybe weedwacker(s) could mount in front of the lawnmower wheels and run while you mow to widen the mowing width. Also: getting rid of the mower blade and just making a lawnmower out of a bunch of weedwackers; robotic Roomba-style lawnmowers exist now; Roombas and how often a house should be vacuumed (and other home/hygiene things); a burner attachment to burn yard waste so you don't have to keep emptying the bag

Idea: A videogame-style "damage meter" and/or list of worst physical/mental/criminal attributes that nearby people can view about you (and you can view about them) on your phones. Also: it'd be useful during dating because it'd contain the stuff that people leave off their dating profile; it could alert you if someone's damage meter indicates they're a threat; evil people hurting you to see your damage meter increase in real-time; life-threatening health issues causing you to be less patient with other people

Idea: A standup comedy show in a "corgi cafe" where comedians have to compete with corgis for the audience's attention. The corgi may be on stage and there may be a vote or a penalty (such as reduced stage time) for losing against the corgi. Also: corgi vs. doge; the corgi and the comic must abide by the same rules (ex: if the dog barks, the comic can bark); unusual and nightmare comedy shows, such as a show where they shock the comic, a show in an insane asylum, and a show where a baby threw a diaper at the comic

Idea: Underwear with sports team logos or colors on them to be worn on game nights for luck. Also: making your friend wear your team's underwear on the outside of his pants as a penalty for losing a bet; giving yourself a wedgie to show your team spirit; complementary undies for couples; questioning whether "undy" is a real word or whether it's always plural, i.e. a "pair of undies"
