Creativity Wasted

Idea: Periscopes for short people to use at concerts and music festivals. Also: a periscope view of the crowd might help you avoid danger; stories of being injured at concerts; putting the periscope in a fake head and wearing a trench coat like an Inspector Gadget or Scooby Doo cartoon; ideas for naming it, including Ecstasee, Shakira-to-Shaq, and Peepers

Idea: Shock collars or "shock ankle bracelets" for unruly children, comedians who're bombing on stage, or people who're trying to quit smoking. Also, if in public, is it more humane (or less in-humane) to discretely shock someone's ankle or visibly spray them in the face with a spray bottle?

Idea: Stencils to help people "line up" or "shape up" their own hair using hair clippers. They would wrap around/over your head so you can't misposition them. They'd be designed to precisely fit your specific head by using a scanned 3D image of your head. Also: misunderstanding the word "hairline", the social consequences of messing up your line up, stencils for shaping your beard Christian Royce (twitter.com/ChristianRoyce) David Sutherland (twitter.com/skrtskrtsuther1) Travis Tehlirian (YouTube: BlaspheMass Debate youtube.com/channel/UClsd_pJ1TEjst4C5pva1nzQ) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Broken Knuckle Studio in Waterford, MI (Facebook: Broken Knuckle Studios)

Idea: A virtual-reality simulation of your daily commute to work, to help make you feel like your life has returned to post-Covid normalcy. You'll get the sensation of moving a couple hundred feet every few minutes, just like a real commute. You can simulate driving inconveniences such as stressful traffic jams (by locking the virtual-reality helmet onto your head until you're late logging onto your real work computer), cracked windshields (the crack appears to slowly grow on the VR headset's screen until you pay $65 in real money to get it repaired), and lifespan-reducing smog (by breathing through a pipe which is hooked up to your furnace). There could also be a bus simulation for kids to simulate their daily commute to school, which could include a gadget that throws real spitballs at them to simulate being bullied on a real bus Joe Bates (twitter.com/JoeBatesComedy Comedy Album: https://orcd.co/joe_bates) Jason Alt (twitter.com/JasonEAlt) Joseph Johnson (twitter.com/JJohnsonComedy) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)

Idea: To use Boston Dynamics robotic dogs to save the lives of people whose hearts have stopped by jumping on their chests and rapidly cooling their bodies, thus giving rescuers an extra hour or two to revive them. Also: "ice dogs" roaming the neighborhood looking for medical emergencies and, in the meantime, serving as police dogs and package delivery dogs; the risk of "ice dogs" sticking to your body like a frozen flagpole; robotic "hot dogs" to prevent malfunctioning "ice dogs" from freezing healthy people to death Matt Harper (twitter.com/MattHarperJokes anotherepisodepodcast.podbean.com twitch.tv/mattopoly83) Brett Mercer (twitter.com/brettmercer_ bigtimegarbage.libsyn.com linktr.ee/Brettmercer) Johnny Mocny (twitter.com/JohnnyMocny linktr.ee/wearemoviespod) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma)
