your terrible ideas

fuuuuuuck, is that real? what a terrible idea

i assume we're at most two years away from a Sweet Secrets movie franchise, done as overstuffed, audiovisual bombardments following the Transformers template.

Every TV show, book or film gets made into an 80s kids' cartoon spinoff:

"The Adventures of EastEnders"
"The Adventures of Frankenstein"
"The Real 12 Angry Men"
"The Old Man, The Sea and Spongey McGee!"
"The New Animated Adventures of Mansfield Park"
"Mighty Morphine Anna Karenina" etc.

Combination Legal Zoom and Cameo with which you make legal threats via celebrities

excellent

re: your nonstandard mailbox

Galaga except instead of shooting spaceships you smash a variety of different fruit and naturally it's called Gallagha' now

The gritty reboot of Fresh Prince of Bel Air that is actually happening (without any apparent sense of irony) seems like the kind of thing this thread would come up with

Greyonnaise - a mayonnaise that is grey.

An eating competition combined with a velodrome based bicycle race event, called the Om-nom-nom-nium. Could be popular given how many calories professional cyclists have to consume.

gaming table beds. Instead of a sofa bed, it is a "foosbed" or "pingpongbed". You just place a big hunk of wood on top with memory foam glued to it.

An episodic TV series that traces the lives of the children of different 70s TV show characters. "Son of Sheriff Lobo," "Hawkeye's Kids," etc. Most of them are unremarkable failures.

i'm into the gaming table beds. maybe a hydraulic foot pedal to raise it to game height and then lower it to sleep

angel investor?

The Fall Son

80s I guess but same idea

Wireless earbud earrings - because they're attached to your ears, they can't be easily lost. Or charged.

Namesake tribute bands - for example a Queen namesake tribute band would have a singer whose real name is Freddie Mercury, a guitarist whose real name is Brian May, etc.. They wouldn't have to look or sound anything like their famous namesakes.

that's a good idea - maybe they go up on stage and talk a little bit about what's been going on in their lives, what they're working on, that kind of thing

good evening, beatlemaniacs, i am John Winston Lennon, and i'd like to talk to you about my lawn care business

Then when they get to the 1968 era, he's replaced by a completely different guy named John Ono Lennon, who lectures about NFTs

A namesake tribute band of 'Chinese Democracy' era Guns'N'Roses would be interesting. A guy called William Rose standing at the front of the stage while two dozen people walk on and off stage behind him.

A sugarcane-based spirit, marketed to older men and supported by an ad campaign featuring the endorsement of Herbie Hancock, called "Dis is Dad Rum".

A sequel to the Woody Allen film "Zelig."

But instead of someone who can inhabit different personalities, it's someone who weighs different amounts.

"Zaftig."

Slip Inside This Mouse, a rock band of hippie burnouts doing Disney songs Thirteenth Floor Elevators style.

A new film version of the life of Gandhi, but it's a musical using all the songs from Annie.

The Raj will be gone, tomorrow

Assuming your guys have seen Morbius SCTV favorite Indira already.

Wasn't even thinking of Terms of Indira! A subconsciously stolen terrible idea!

Ha! Here’s what I was referring to:

a spinoff show called Breaking Mad (Libs) where rival ad lib book-making companies go to violent, bloody war for control of the ad lib book empire.

lol, that just put the image into my head of Bryan Cranston standing over a man bleaeing from a gunshot wound to the leg and gruffly saying "I need a verb."

Bojack Horseman did a plot like that in one of the later seasons, with a big feud between 2 guys who wrote jokes to go on popsicle sticks

A Weekend at Bernie’s prequel. Tragic character study of a man’s life, Citizen Kane style, that chronicles Bernie from an innocent youth, through his early successes as a well-meaning young businessman, and finally his gradual deterioration of moral center and corruption by power that lead to his ultimate demise at the hands of the mob. He’s comatose but alive when the pair of yuppies he had plans on hoist him onto a couch and the partying begins. His supposed friends rifle through his pockets for drugs and dance around him as a Rosebud recollection of lost innocence and lost love flickers internally until his heart finally gives in and he dies unnoticed.

TV show presented by Abby Elliott called 'Saturday Night Live jr.' in which the children of former SNL cast-members audition for SNL and put on skits together, one is eliminated each week, the winner gets to be a featured player on the next series of SNL

^ not at all terrible

Not my terrible idea but an actual terrible idea someone else has foisted upon the world or at least the South East of England. I was in Sainsbury's yesterday and bought some paracetamol. This afternoon at work I had a headache and took a couple. However just before doing so I noticed that 'Each tablet contains: Paracetamol 500mg, Caffeine 65mg". So each standard dose of two tablets has more caffeine than a medium sized can of Red Bull. But I had a headache and nothing else was available so I took them anyway. Whose brilliant idea was this?

colleague: "Paracetamol in the conference room!"
snoball: "I'd like to swallow some of that! Namely 2 x tablets containing 500mg of paracetamol each as I have a headache and that's the recommended dose also I shouldn't have shouted just then should I because I have a headache right?"

snoball goes down to the conference room, sees it's paracetamol tablets with caffeine not just regular paracetamol tablets...

snoball: "RAARARAGGRR!!!" *Hulks out in caffeine induced rage*

a website like twitter where every post is just replaced with pics of dog turds and it's called Shitter.

and once it goes live, Twitter is shut down permanently and redirects to this site.

Probably less terrible than whatever Elon has planned...

OK so according to a colleague at work, the reason for caffiene in paracetamol tablets is to speed up the absorbtion of the paracetamol into the bloodstream.

Paracetamol: "caffiene in the conference room!"
snoball's bloodstream: "I'd like to absorb some of that!"

like did you spend two weeks not realizing the reason they’d put caffeine in without looking it up or

tbf the product called “excedrin” has been a standard in the US forever, that combination, get your paracetamol fix on quick

I can bring water to a boil more quickly if I use multiple pots and kettles with smaller amounts of water in them and then combine all the boiled waters at the end
