ITT: Your ideas for your favourite pop culture.
If you were in charge of a TV show, director of a book adaptation, able to rewrite a comic book, what ideas would you bring to the table?
South Park Episode:
Cartman posits that since we have Generation X, Y and Z, it stands to reason that the next generation will be AA, and so on.
He realises that this means that in the distance future, there will be a Generation BALLSACK, so he goes forward in time in order to make fun of them.
However, once there, he discovers that they don't get the joke, having become so enlightened that genitalia aren't inherently funny to them any more.
So he launches a plan in order to corrupt them until they're embarassed by their generational name so he can laugh at them.

When Seinfeld was in its' prime, I always thought it would be funny to do an episode where the gang was at a funeral and either Kramer or George thinks they see the dead body move or open their eyes. Hilarity could ensue.

I don't know why it was scrapped, but there was an idea where George gave a homeless man change and later saw him playing an arcade machine.E.H.

Also, I read an article of ten ideas if Seinfeld was on now. The best one was Jerry's girlfriend's phone automatically connects to Newman's wi-fi.

Probably pretty similar to when Silicon Valley made the same joke.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The tweet was from summer 2014. Did the Silicon Valley thing happen before that?@SkitchP wrote:daft twat wrote: The best one was Jerry's girlfriend's phone automatically connects to Newman's wi-fi.

Lost seasons 4-6 answer questions and don't end in purgatory.

It wasn't purgatory! It was an alternate afterlife dimension created so that they all could... uh... find each other again and... eh... ascend into the Heavens after making peace with... um
yeah it kind of was purgatory, wasn't it

Re: ITT: Your ideas for your favourite pop culture.
It would be expensive and probably impossible given current licensing laws and royalties but I've always had this idea for a sitcom called "Spinoff." It would be 30 minutes per episode. Each episode would focus on a peripheral character from one random episode of a promanent TV show, and follow them through the next part of their day.
For example, there's an episode of Friends in which Ross and Chandler try to hit on this two girls at the coffee shop. My show would open with that scene from Friends, but instead of following Ross and Chandler like the actual show does, it would follow those two girls as they leave the Central Perk and we'd get to see what happens to them over the next 30 minutes.
It's totally impractical, but it would be a fantastic almost sketch type show; a hybred of sitcom/sketch comedy and I think it could be outstanding. Obviously, the issue comes with using characters/shows across all the networks and getting rights to those characters and blah blah blah. The logistics of it are a nightmare. But if you could figure out how to make it work, it could be something really special.
