  • Comedian Talent Show Improv Festival (Eileen Nolton)
    Dec 2 2025

    Idea: A standup comedy festival where the performers do one normal standup performance and also participate in at least one comedic improv/game/activity which showcases another one of their other talents, such as art, singing, magic, etc. Also: the talent shows wouldn't be competitions, and would often pair together comics with complimentary talents, such as singers, musicians, and dancers, who would have a few hours to collaborate to come up with a group performance; questioning whether puppetry would be allowed

  • Electronic Teaching Assistant App (Chris Young)
    Nov 24 2025

    Idea: An app used mostly by teachers (but also other types of public speakers, business presenters, etc.) that observes and understands the flow of information to people and provides (displays on smart glasses, speaks into an earpiece, etc.) on-the fly support for that information flow, such as highlighting/correcting errors, providing links to more detailed info or explanations, etc. Also: it would use AI to be able to follow along what you're reading, you're speaking, or you're listening to (including listening to students asking follow-up questions); it would use a lesson plan that you can quickly load into it (as opposed to using general AI data, which could cause it to go off the rails); it would know the context of the data flow (such as whether you're a person learning something new, a teacher refreshing prior-learned knowledge before giving a lesson, a teacher currently giving a lesson, a teacher listening to a student asking a question, etc.) and it would act differently accordingly to that context (for example, if you're a teacher giving a presentation, it wouldn't overload you with so much info that it'd break the flow of your lecture, or if you're learning something new by yourself for the first time, it might let you stew on an incorrect answer for a while to think it through before correcting you); it could maybe use tricks from scam psychics to feed you information in such a way that your audience can't tell that you're getting help

  • Cat and Sun Tent aka "Catio" (Tom Walma)
    Nov 17 2025

    Idea: A tent-like semi-portable structure for a suburban yard in which you can sunbathe (especially in the winter) and where you can take your indoor cat who wants to go outside. Also: it'd be designed so you can get into the tent and close it while holding the cat against your chest with one hand and without bending over (because if you bent over the cat could squirm away); it would use thick fabric and thick clear greenhouse plastic to keep heat in; it could be tinted to allow you to sunbathe in privacy (possibly even in the nude) and maybe also be used as an outdoor shower; you could maybe connect a "cat tube" to your house so the cat can come and go as they please

  • S__cide Discouragement AI (Alex Wilson)
    Nov 10 2025

    Idea: Futurama-style "s__cide booths" that don't actually kill you but instead use AI and brain scans to convince you NOT to commit s__cide. Also: it could generate a "It's A Wonderful Life" or "A Christmas Carol" movie on-the-fly which is customized to your life; if it made people feel too good they'd want to stay in the booth forever; you could inject a timed poison in their body which can easily be removed so they have lots of time to back out if they regret their decision; crazy sci-fi future tech could eliminate many of the reasons for s__cide

  • Delivery Person Yard Obstacle Course TV Show (Chris Barnwood)
    Nov 1 2025

    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

  • Stoner's Choice Chili (Wes Allen)
    Oct 26 2025

    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

  • Flash Flood At Area 51 Movie (Tom Walma)
    Oct 21 2025

    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

  • Escort Subscription Service (Kristopher Allen Brown)
    Oct 12 2025

    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
