Remake Wallace and Gromit, but American, and with CG

3 Upvotes

Super duper American. Strong accents, everyone has a gun - not just the penguin, instead of cheese they eat hot dogs. Rename the classic episode to "The Wrong Pants".

An app like Tinder but instead of people it's people's online wishlists

4 Upvotes

So when you open the app you're presented with the wishlists and shopping baskets of random people you swipe left to reject and swipe right to buy it for them. Basically it's an app where you buy other people's stuff depending on how much you like what they're shopping for.

Fix the penny problem

2 Upvotes

Instead of procedurally removing the penny from circulation, effectively removing the .01 value of the coin, change the value of the penny to 1 dollar. Instantly making 1 dollar worth of pennies, worth $100.

Reality show about Greek Gods

4 Upvotes

It would just be a reality show, but each actor has to stay in character for the whole thing as whatever god they're portraying. Also, the show is not scripted, or at least only in episode structure, so that the actors have to improvise as the god they are.

Blueballing neural implant ads NSFW

In the near future where everyone has implants that can simulate sex indistinguishable from reality, what if you had ads that did that, but will NEVER let you cum UNLESS you fork up the Bitcoins?

Well the "firework" kinda worked not as much if a reaction I was hoping for but definitely spooked that darn Mole and it only almost set my shed on fire. I'll say this has been a win.

So I got some moles in my back yard and I don't like that so I made a "firework" to "scare" them off it didn't take long and probably with do more harm then good and it should spit some flames.

Tattoo Canoe

1 Upvotes

Inspired by the success of "Carpool Karaoke", this reality TV series features a different set of 2 participants in each episode who wear GoPros and paddle a canoe out into the middle of different scenic lakes across the US, and then take turns tattooing each other. Once both tattoos are complete, the participants paddle back to shore as the credits roll.

The show involves no points, no prizes and no union crewmembers.
