After much discussion I am presenting an idea that initially arose from a bet with my wife that she couldn't come up with a topic for a reality show that everybody would watch.
A new reality TV show with truly universal appeal!
It has shopping and shoes for the women to watch, naked women for
the men to watch and naughty monkeys running amok for the kids amusement.
It can't fail to be a success!!!
(??) Seemed like a good place to attach this interesting/odd patent article -- from Verizon

naughty monkey shoe store
http://www.naughtymonkey.com Likely just online, but it's easier to shop naked online. [popbottle, Mar 02 2014]

I have to say, in theory, it's perfect... |
|
|
This just might get you a promotion to major. |
|
|
A brilliant show. I'd never miss an episode. I take my hat off to you. Kudos. |
|
|
Would the monkeys be clothed? |
|
|
Nothing here for the male portion of the gay community. |
|
|
make it naughty gay monkeys, [egbert], thus also appealing to the bestiaphiles too. |
|
|
Top quality!. My sister once mused that the biggest advert hook would be to have a naked woman, small cute child and a fluffy kitten but this idea is simply streets ahead. |
|
|
I want naked monkeys and then maybe add some blogna and its all good |
|
|
What sort of presenter would you have? Oh, what am I saying - they're all the same. |
|
|
Aha! Graham Norton (see my previous anno). |
|
|
[egbert]. I think you will find that Aha was Alan Partridge. Graham Norton is So!. ;-) |
|
|
Can the monkeys keep the shoes? Will the women wear pasties? Is Justin Timberlake involved? |
|
|
And for the season finale, they trek to San Francisco to marry bride and monkey. |
|
|
"M-O-O-N", that spells ratings! |
|
|
Seems odd to me that lots of people said they'd like it but only one person voted for it (at the time of this anno). I detest reality TV and will not condone the perpetuation of it's evil. Writers are starving on the streets! |
|
|
Votes on this idea, as on about half of the others, were lost in the October 2004 disk crash. |
|
|
Oh, that explains the "Have you seen this vote?" thing on a milk carton I purchased recently. |
|
|
Yeah, those monkeys can keep the shoes. It's not like women go shopping because they have nothing to wear. |
|
|
Now if the monkeys were being naughty with naked woman... Really, the important thing is what are those naked woman like. Just being naked doesn't make every woman worth looking at for 20 minutes. |
|
|
This is the first idea I've ever bunned without actually reading any of the idea description or annos. Good work fella. |
|
|
Given the title, I expected this to be a variation of the |
|
|
SEX! Now that I have your attention... |
|
|
trick. Well done for doing something with such bizarre material (or rather, well done to your wife). + |
|
|
What? No mention of catchy pop tunes? Throw a naked woman/shoe/naughty monkey music video into each episode please. |
|
|
You only have naked women for the hetero men?
Why not add some bacon somewhere. Almost all the guys I know love bacon. Mmmmmmm. |
|
|
Except for those health freaks who say bacon is bad. |
|
|
Down with the health freaks! Ignorance is fattening. |
|
|
To get credit on shoes that they like, the women must endure terrible trials such as eating a tropical bug. |
|
|
As for the "game" element: |
|
|
The women get to keep the shoes if they can arrange to convince/persuade the naughty monkeys to actually touch the shoes they want. More teasing ensues. |
|
|
Of course, the women should be partially clothed, to pass censorship, and to be more interesting to watch anyway. |
|
|
Bacon too. Yes. They can all eat bacon. Even health nuts like the taste, and they don't get unhealthy from watching it. |
|
|
Ten months have passed and I have yet to see a single episode. There are responsibilities that go with posting an idea this good you know, [captain_ignorant]. Now come on, stop messing around and get on the phone to Fox. |
|
|
Fox? Fox? Are you quite mad, [wagster]? If the Americans must make this, then surely it should be commissioned by HBO, so that we can hear the monkeys swearing. They could get Ian McShane to voice the monkeys, as he has shown himself adept in the art of cussing. |
|
|
No, I've already signed him up to voice the shoes. |
|
|
Then how about Tom Baker as bonobo #1? And I think I can get you Penelope Keith. She'll do voicework for scale if she likes the project and this is right up her street. |
|
|
This is an outstanding idea! It must once again be brought forth to be seen! +! |
|
|
I'm a female and I'd enjoy seeing all
three: Shoes, Naked Women, and the
Monkeys! |
|
|
This sounds like one of Louis Theroux's weird weekends. That said, bun. |
|
|
//reality TV show that appeals to everyone// |
|
|
But what about people who can't stand reality TV? There should be a quiz show or an improv comedy in there somewhere. |
|
|
You know what happens when you start giving typewiters to monkeys - they plagiarize Shakespeare. Besides, there are already enough out-of-work writers in the entertainment biz. Give the monkeys PDAs to attract the techie crowd. Maybe they can figure out Bluetooth. |
|
|
Two years on and no tv series, no book, no DVD, not even a pilot.
And I was going to buy a TV just for this... |
|
|
The only thing I saw in the title was the words NAKED and TV. But both of those words in the same sentence and I will bun it. |
|
|
I've written a seven book series on this subject, but no one seems to want to publish it. |
|
|
Send the e-book to Project Gutenberg [nmf]. |
|
|
I'm surprised this doesn't have "[marked for deletion]" on it yet. Ideas for television shows are not halfbakery material. |
|
|
// Ideas for television shows are not halfbakery material.// Look, there is a category for "culture: reality tv"... what else would you put here? Besides, this is an old favorite. 56 buns? Hardly your typical MFD material. Why? I don't have a clue. (OK... maybe I have a bit of a clue... naked women... monkeys... seems simple enough.) |
|
|
Does this involve bananas? |
|
|
bananas? You want *more*? Next thing someone is going to ask that the monkeys be dressed as pirat... Hey, I just got a *great* idea! |
|
|
I'll pays ya five pence a week ta look out for the big haired dame w/ the blood red stilettos. |
|
|
As funny and novel as this is, there seems to be a rather large conflict of interest in this reality show of yours....children watching soft porn? Men watching shopping? women watching monkeys? hmmm. You have enough buns, you can afford a fishbone from me. |
|
|
Porn? I just read it as naked women. The kids won't care as long as there's a monkey. As long as the shoes are varied, interesting, and available for purchase many women would watch. And I don't know any man who wouldn't go shoe shopping if there were naked women present. |
|
|
I must be having a [waugsqueke] moment. +70, -8? I cannot remember the last time I saw anything as stupid as this. Oh, wait, 'Tails for all', that was it. |
|
|
Do you have a problem with the shoes or the monkeys? |
|
|
It just strikes me as a waste of pixels. But then, I don't watch 'reality' TV, and fail to understand why anyone else does. Still, each to his own. |
|
|
doesn't this sound a great deal like john
cleese's ad proposal in the monty python
sketch "string"? |
|
|
// Except for those health freaks who say bacon is bad. |
|
|
Down with the health freaks! Ignorance is fattening.// |
|
|
I've discovered that at Denny's you can order a vegetarian burger, and have them add bacon to it for like 20 cents. Then you get a receipt that says exactly what you ordered. |
|
|
Show that to your health freaks! |
|
|
Where's the illustration? |
|
|
I think Benny Hill did this |
|
|
[ignorantimmigrant] created an account on 3/8/2005, posted two ideas beginning with the letter P , annotated on 11 ideas including this one during 2005 - 2006, and dropped out of sight. |
|
|
Shouldn't you put that on a graph or a chart or a Venn Diagram or something? |
|
|
But what about the monkeys? And why do I have no
recollection of this idea at all? Hoooey. |
|
|
Looking forward to the videogame spinoff. |
|
|
I remember an advertisement showcasing feminine hygiene products with a PIP showing football. Best
ad ever. |
|
|
The naughty monkeys are almost universally
entertaining too.... |
|
|
My wife likes watching Victoria's Secret lingerie shows and beauty pageants in a weird wholesome way. I like them in a dirty nasty way. Why come up with anything else? |
