Clashing Stereotypes Photoshoot
The scene opens with a model in front of white background, doing all the usual poses, tossing her hair around, pouting her lips and so on. When we cut to the photographer, whom we expect to be the usual macho photographer shouting “work it baby,” and “yeah, that’s great, just give me more!,” it’s actually a stereotypical Japanese tourist, with big unfashionable...
Two Movies in One
A movie about a character whose personal life and work don’t overlap at all, and both get equal screen time. So you have the character’s personal life, which has its own plot and subplots, and then you have the character’s work world, which also has its own plot and subplots.
It would be a commentary on the duality of human nature; we have jobs and we have lives, but never the...
Plane Crashses Because Someone Left Their Phone On
I had a couple of plane flights recently, so that explains yet another comic about a plane crash.
A single panel of two people gripping their seats in fear as and yelling at each other as their plane goes down: “You left your phone on?!” “I thought it would be okay if I left it on vibrate!”
Airborne Laffs
A one-panel comic. A normal looking guy is talking to a normal looking woman about an obnoxious looking guy in the opposite aisle seat in front of them: “I almost hope this plane crashes just to kill that guy.”

Heater that releases tiny floating blankets into...
In time travel movies, it’s always the future that has all the surprises, because history has documented the past so meticulously, there’s not much to discover. It would be cool, though, to go back and time and find a bunch of crazy gadgets nobody has ever heard of that made use of the technology available at the time.
For instance, in the 1700s, heaters were probably devices that...
The Cafeteria Food Diet
Since kids have a lot of energy, through backwards logic you could point out that kids eat junky cafeteria food, and so cafeteria food must be the source of the energy.
Therefore, a good fad diet would be The Cafeteria Food Diet, which would argue that people go astray (nutritionally) as soon as they graduate high school and no longer have breaded chicken fried steak sandwiches with mashed...
Darwin Awards for Freakish Fluke Deaths
The Darwin Awards is an organization that celebrates the deaths of people who die by doing something stupid. A recent inductee into their hall of extinction was a Biology teacher from Bulgaria who poured explosive chemicals down a sewer, which caused an explosion that knocked the manhole cover up, decapitating her.
The idea behind The Darwin Awards is that the gene pool is better off without...
Operation Bouncer Entrapment
It would be cool if the vice squad went undercover to entrap bouncers.
A female police officer would approach a bouncer at a club and hand him a fake ID. He would confiscate the ID and tell the woman to leave the premises. She would plead in the usual ways - “please, I just bought that yesterday, it was really expensive!” - and he would counter that she committed a federal offense and...
The Semi-Rational Drug Dealer
A powerful, infamous drug dealer is meeting with a sketchy distributor, who claims the shipment he just got in is pure co-heroin (a new hybrid of cocaine and heroin). The drug dealer, not the trusting sort, busts out his portable, 100 percent accurate drug purity tester. Suddenly, the distributor gets nervous, and when the results are in to the dealer’s disappointment, the distributor is...
A Simple Solution to Presidential Elections
After the Democratic and Republican contenders have been selected, and it looks like one of them is the front-runner to win the election, it would be cool if the front-runner invited his/her competitor to be his/her running mate.
Say Obama wins the Democratic primary and about a month into his campaign against, let’s say McCain, polls show Obama beating McCain 60/40. It would be great if...
