Creativity Wasted

Idea: A TV show where ordinary people build obstacle courses in their yards that delivery people have to traverse to get to the porch to drop off the package. If the delivery person succeeds (they don't drop it or give up or exceed a time limit), they get a reward (such as getting to pee in the house instead of into a bottle in the delivery truck), and if they fail, the homeowner who created the obstacle course gets a reward (such as choosing an additional package from the delivery truck). Also: examples of obstacles could include water or foam pits, tennis ball shooters, dogs, snakes, slides, and mousetraps; the employer would need to give the delivery person a break from their strict driving schedule to enable them to do an obstacle course; the obstacle course could double-up as yard decoration for an existing holiday, or "Prime Day" could be made into a new holiday where these obstacle courses are part of the festivities; an obstacle course could serve as a deterrent against package thieves

Idea: Cans of food sold in stores labeled as "Stoner's Choice chili" but actually containing corn or beef stew or other food (but not chili). Also: using trickery to prank your friends and/or profit off of selling unwanted or nearly expired cans; mixing all of the cans of other foods so that it becomes chili; using "Stoner's Choice" as a brand for all sorts of intentionally mislabeled products such as soda, T-shirts, music CDs, pets/pet food, etc; simulating "Stoner's Choice" by wearing a blindfold or augmented reality glasses; discussing weird foods/drinks such as ginger ale, cream soda, and the Jelly Belly "Bean Boozled" game

Idea: A cheesy sci-fi B-movie where Area 51, which is located on a dried lake bed, is hit by a flash flood, and the military and an imprisoned alien have to scramble to escape. Also: brainstorming a plot involving aliens, secret military aircraft, weather manipulation, etc.; incorporating aspects of other movies/TV, like Signs, American Dad, The Shape of Water, Space Force (on Netflix), 1980's dirty teen comedies, etc.; discussing how a lake reformed in the central valley of California a few years ago in real life, and so why couldn't that also happen at the dried lake bed of Area 51, and isn't it kind of dumb it is to keep our military secrets in a place vulnerable to natural disaster

Idea: A monthly subscription service for ordering and paying for escorts. Also: bundling the service (Nutflix? Paramounting? Ho-lu?) with Disney+, having a 7-day free trial, and having an "ad tier" which interrupts you in the middle of the act with commercials; the desire for safety when ordering escorts and Kristopher's story about being shaken down; capping the max appointments per month to prevent a few customers from massively overusing the service; performing comedy in adult venues such as swinger's campgrounds and strip clubs

Idea: An Anthony Bourdain-style travel show where the host goes to grand openings of dollar stores, reviews them, explores the nearby community, and interviews interesting customers. Also: the show could include segments such as taking different types of people (nuns, comedians, etc.) to dollar stores for the first time, comparing generic dollar store brands to name-brand equivalents, taste-testing rare discontinued/experimental foods (such as Monster Energy Cold Brew coffee-flavored energy drink); discussing the major dollar store chains, Buc-ee's, food outlets (which sell nearly expired meats), Wall Drug, Factor meal delivery, grocery pickup/delivery, etc.; YouTuber Andrew Callahan ("All Gas No Brakes" and "Channel 5") and interviewing oddball people

Idea (dark humor): A short-term puppy rental service where the puppy is put down and made into soap (or other things) if the renter doesn't pay a large amount of money to buy it when the rental period expires. Also: calculating how much emotional attachment the renter has with the puppy to determine how much money you can squeeze out of them to save their puppy's life; renting a new puppy each season or to match your outfits; accidentally crushing pets and coming up with inventions to prevent that from happening; when a vegan Buddhist hippie thought this idea was real

Idea: Vendors that roam around the stands at a summer baseball game (or at other summer events) carrying a fan and a large battery (to power the fan) in a backpack that charge people money to cool them down. Also: brainstorming names for the business (Mr. Blow, etc.), the vendors ("Joe Blow", etc.), and things the vendors say ("get your fan jobs here..."); the risk of accidentally blowing sweat onto nearby people; questioning whether global warming will make summer sports like baseball die off because it's just too hot out

Idea: To make a career out of being a paid guest on various podcasts. Also: faking expertise or ailments (or whatever else) to be a relevant guest for a themed podcast (such as Mormonism, alien abduction, or 18th-century cookery) with or without the podcast hosts knowing that you're a fake; creating a podcast feed out of links to your appearances on other podcasts; becoming a charismatic "character actor" who has fans that watch whatever they do, but in the venue of podcasting; making small appearances in movies as a podcaster, such as being the guy who says "Lex Luther is right, we do need to stop Superman"

Idea: An app to translate/interpret the grammar, slang, and acronyms of text (primarily social media) based on your age. Also: writing conventions that other generations find annoying such as "boomer ellipses" and excessive "LOLs" or "bruhs"; translating a text message from an old person to a zoomer and having it say "no cap" might not be necessary for understanding but would be hilarious; an in-app purchase to translate to 1800s or early 1900s slang such as "the cat's pajamas"; if a kid sends you a cryptic text full of emojis, you can respond with Egyptian hieroglyphs as a form of revenge

Idea: A business that you can hire to perform a prank on someone (like in the Norm MacDonald movie "Dirty Work"). Also: prank examples such as fish in cars, "Zoombombing", faking charitable donations on someone's behalf, tricking a public figure like in the movie "Borat", etc.; brainstorming a business name, such as "Leach's Pranks For Hire: For People Who Suck"; using leverage to break the law when pranking people to avoid getting ratted out; the risk of giving overly vague instructions to employees (like "take care of this guy") and accidentally causing a mob-style hit
