The thread title pretty much says it all: Post examples of someone taking a silly or even satirical idea and doing a superb job of making it a reality. I'll start:

Congratulations, Sir... You got me.

Only when I saw the description of the image did I realize that isn't a real product. The sad thing is, I know people who would buy such a product in a heartbeat if it was available.

Very cool! I hadn't seen that one before, but the field setting reminded me of one of my all-time Python favorites:

Upper Class Twit of the Year [www.youtube.com]

And the second-to-last event in that clip reminded me of this:

(WARNING- Celebrity Juice is a British TV show that's like Korean and Japanese game shows in that contestants compete in wacky contests to win points for their teams, except all the contestants are B- and C-list celebrities. It is frequently unapologetically raunchy and/or gross, but that's the sort of thing that appeals to my crude sense of humor and it IS all done in good fun. If you have delicate sensibilities or are easily offended, Celebrity Juice is NOT the show for you.)
