Show Ideas I Hope Never Exist

lol guys let's brainstorm the WORST show ideas, mine is 'The Love Life of a Landlord' just 30 minutes of some dude inspecting properties and flirting with tenants. Or how about 'Accounting for Beginners' where every episode they explain a new tax form. binge-worthy af 😂💤 Make these and I will personally lead a campaign to get them cancelled.

Picture this: 'Elevator Music Enthusiasts'. Every ep is just a deep dive into one elevator music track, complete with history and awkward dancing. Critics will call it an 'unexpectedly soothing journey through audiovisual mediocrity'. It'll have a dedicated subreddit within days, calling it now!

Honestly I wouldn’t put it past them to make some of these as a social experiment to see how much garbage we will actually watch. Like 'Queue Quest' where every week a new group of people simply waits in different lines. Season finale is Black Friday queue, the ultimate boss battle of patience and boredom.

Lemme pitch 'Watching Grass Grow'—it's this high-concept piece where it's literally just a lawn, and you see the grass grow over the course of a season. It's 'slow TV' taken to the extreme. Plus, we could even do a crossover with 'Paint Dry: Live'... think of the possibilities!

Not to be that person, but some people might actually find 'Accounting for Beginners' helpful, especially during tax season. Although I fully admit as entertainment it's a bit like watching paint dry... which gives me an idea. 'Paint Dry: Live.' It's just live-streaming walls.

'Waiting for the Cable Guy': Semi-realistic portrayal of someone's day waiting from 8am to 8pm. Spoiler: The season finale is him showing up at 7:59 to say he needs a part from the warehouse.

How about 'DMV: The Series'? Just endless shots of people waiting in line and close-ups of numbers being called. It's a metaphor for life’s pointlessness. Someone will call it 'Kafkaesque' and it’ll get a cult following for no reason.

omg 'The Love Life of a Landlord' sounds like it's straight out of a bad reality TV pitch meeting. And don't forget the spinoff where the tenants get back at him, 'Tenant's Revenge: Late Fees Galore'. It's a whole cinematic universe of trash tv 😂

lol why not make a show called 'Waiting for the Wi-Fi' where every ep is about people trying to get their connection back. Watch ppl reboot routers for hours. Id watch that over my actual router any day

While those are amusing, allow me to propose 'The Soliloquy of Socks': an in-depth dissection of the inner life of socks, exploring the fabric of their very being, their silent suffering in the laundry cycle, and their eternal quest to find their sole mates post-dryer. Riveting, existential cinema.

Ever heard of 'The Infinite Elevator'? It's just endless footage of an elevator going up and down with elevator music and the door opening on empty hallways. No one gets on, no one gets off. It's Kafkaesque!

Yes. It was an experimental series that aired on NBC during the 1992-1993 television season. It would have a narrator that described the elevator, which would be spoken throughout the entire duration of the episode, even the closing credits.

Actually, that show's a cult classic now. Bootleg VHS tapes trade for big bucks on the collector's circuit. There's this rad detailed wiki out there dissecting the nuances of every episode. Each floor stop represents an era of TV history - the '70s, the '80s. Layers, dude. Layers.

You guys are missing the point, that show was so ahead of its time. It was an ironic masterpiece, showcasing the monotony of corporate life. Like, the elevator is a metaphor for life's ups and downs, get it? It's not just some lazy background TV, it's art!

An elevator with a narrator? Dude, sounds like they were just filling airtime. There had to be like, what, two people at home actually watching? I'd rather watch paint dry, at least the color might change.

That sounds so riveting... said no one ever. Who thought an elevator's life story would be good TV? Imagine the pitch meeting for that show: 'It goes up, it goes down, the drama, the tension!' The only thing missing is an elevator love interest lol.

Try 'Laughter on Repeat' where they literally just play a laugh track on loop for 22 minutes, occasionally breaking it up with some clapping and 'awws'. Gonna be a hit with the sitcom crowd 😂

'Whale Watching Whispers' a whole series where ppl whisper to each other on a boat while looking for whales but never actually find any. whispering 'did u see that?' No, Karen. No one did. peak suspense 😑

haha how about 'Queue Quest' where each epi is just someone scrolling through Netflix for half an hour but never actually picking something to watch we've all been the star of that show let's be real

omw, 'Watching Paint Dry: A Study in Color' where each episode is just a different wall color drying after a fresh coat. Possibly in slow motion for those who really want to savor the moment 🎨💅🏼

I've got something even worse, imagine 'Real Politicians of DC' where it's just C-SPAN with wine fights and confessionals. Can't unsee that pitch meeting, right 😂?
