Paper towels and other consumables that are alternately printed with "Hatfield" or "McCoy". People would consume twice as fast because "I'm not using a goddamned Hatfield paper towel!", etc. Of course Mother Earth loses in this scenario, but I've suspected Mother Earth of being a goddamned Hatfield for some time now.

There's a seed of marketing brilliance in there. Like selling "not racist" light bulbs. Oh, you don't buy our products? Huh. Interesting.

"Yes, my whole family switched over to using black lights exclusively to prove we're not racist. Now, if you pay attention to the tiger in the center of the painting, you will observe that its stripes flutter in time to the music."

A prank iphone app that requires you to "calibrate" it by going through a series of increasingly ludicrous motions with your phone (like the figure 8 thing but getting increasingly complex) before just laughing at you and telling you you look ridiculous.

I had an idea a while back for a sitcom that was just 30 minutes of opening credits, with like 500 different characters.

Yeah, the gore angle was a little disappointing, it's a great video but I wish it literally had just been this endless, weirdly plausible sitcom.

A meme where an alert from Mavericks comes up that says "Force Quit Everything?" and then you see that Gary Oldman gif that's real intense.

pplains, Wednesday, 12 November 2014 14:26 (nine years ago) link

Except Mavericks doesn't display an alert like that and Oldman's character is actually saying "Everyone!"

I used to share a flat with four other people in a house in Central London that had been split into separate flats, one per floor. The landlord didn't live there, but the flat on the top floor was occupied by a really old guy who was one of his relatives. The landlord wanted to sell the house, but couldn't, because for whatever reason he'd agreed to let this relative live there. There was a standing rule that if this old guy died, all the tenants would be evicted, so that the landlord could sell up.
One time, I came home from work, and on the carpet going up the stairs there were red stains and broken glass. As I got further up the stairs, I realised that someone had dropped a jar of raspberry jam, but my first thought was "oh shit, the old guy's dead and we're all going to get evicted!".
So my terrible idea is a black comedy sitcom where the landlord keeps trying to have the old guy discretely bumped off, when actually he's already died from extreme old age, and the tenants are trying to make it look like he's still alive 'Weekend At Bernie's' style.

just like Nietzsche but with jokes (snoball), Saturday, 29 November 2014 10:52 (nine years ago) link

i thought your idea would be a bag of gore made from raspberry jam that can be burst on stairs to keep people using the elevator

80s Google PSA and Miami Dad County have both been popping into my head and making me lose my shit over the past couple days.

I picture the latter looking like Big Johnson novelty type shirts that you'd buy at the spencer gifts at the mall, with like two dads peering over the top of wayfarers, back to back with their arms crossed.
