The Bad Ideas Team is once again joined by Danielle Shemaiah for two more bad ideas of misguided pranks and socially-distanced scares!

In our first bad idea, Gabriel brings us a tale of a man who tries to win his girlfriend's parents over with an ill-advised prank... and then commits. And commits. And commits. The squad turns it into a starchy comedy of political error and appearances. Then, Sarah brings us a story about just how far haunted house aficionados are going to get their scares on during the pandemic. We turn it into a small scale story of office romance set against a macabre backdrop. 

All of that, plus: Maya Rudolph as an HR person, suits that need to get scared into cooperating, potato guns, radical honesty, and weird dad reactions.
