Consider this a low rent "contest"

[Crunchy English]

So my friends and I tell each other a lot of dumb jokes about video games. We can never remember them all but they all fit under our fictional video game company "AwesomeGamesandEntertainmentandFun Corp." or Awesome Corp. for short.

We always come back to the same stupid jokes we came up with at 3AM, Hyrule Golf, Linear a 1D adventure, Generic RPG #11122 Save A world, from an Evil, as a Guy, etc.

This stuff is getting pretty stale and I want new ridiculous game ideas. I know you guys would suggest this stuff for fun, but to try inspire more out of you, I'll make it a contest. A very low rent contest since I have no money with which to award you. Post your most hilarious Awesome Corp. Game suggestion here, and I'll give you something cool related to your suggestion. A picture of the main character or villain, the script from a sample cinema scene, and some box art. I'll PM the winner in 2 days so they can PM me back with their email for thier prize.

Rules
- Keep it clean, all Escapist Rules apply and I won't have artist for hire drawing smut.
-Give me enough to go on, not just a title
-Limit 3 suggestions per person, no spamming

I didn't see anything against this sort of thing in the Forum Rules, and I could use a good laugh. Hit me!

Ban hammer.

You go through an internet forum and ban all of the idiots and trolls.

Estimated game length: Wait could you even finish this?

Hmm.

'Amnesia: The forgotten game about a main character who has it.'

'Save the scantily clad girl from the very ugly monster'

'Quicksave/Quickload: My many lives as a Space Marine fighting evil'

OK, I'll bite on this one. Keep in mind I'm shooting from the hip here.

Little League Manager. Think Out of the Park Baseball meets the Backyard Sports series meets The Bad News Bears. You are the coach of the Mack's Bail Bonds Jailbirds, a ragtag bunch of 11- and 12-year-olds from the wrong side of Pleasant Valley's tracks. In addition to setting lineups, substitutions, and strategy like a traditional baseball sim, the game-within-a-game of dealing with parents' delusions about their sons' talent, making sure Billy can get to the game on days his single mom has to work late and leave him at home alone, and making sure Tommy keeps his mind on baseball and not the rapidly advancing puberty that has him wanting to chase tail in his sixth grade class rather than go to practice will keep you busy. Get through the regular season with a good enough record and you'll get to the playoffs, trying for a berth in the City Championship against the Richington's Jewelers Diamond Sox so you can stick it to those minivan preppies and bring a smile to the faces of your underprivileged charges. The planned expansion pack, Road to the Little League World Series, will have you taking your kids all the way to Williamsport and taking on the world.

The Elder Scrolls: Tamrielic Trader. A trade sim set in the Elder Scrolls universe. Starting out as a humble shopkeeper in Anvil, you will see your trade fleet go from a simple small sailboat doing business with nearby ports in Valenwood and Hammerfell to a trade empire shuttling saltrice from Morrowind to the Summerset Isle, smuggling Skooma into Elsweyr, and hiring guards to ensure that the Gray Fox does not set the Thieves' Guild's sights on your warehouses. Of course there will be competition, as the Dunmer Great Houses and the Nordic mariners of Skyrim will not take kindly to someone trying to horn in on their territory. When that happens, however, it's nothing that a few contacts in the Morag Tong or a prayer to the Night Mother for the aid of the Dark Brotherhood can't fix. Play your cards right, and you'll be richer than the Elder Council, who have grown quite wealthy in the dawning years of the Fourth Era.

Calvinball Online. What could be better than playing games in a persistent world against other people? Why, making up the rules as you go along, of course! Bill Watterson finally breaks his taboo on licensing Calvin and Hobbes merchandise for Awesome Corp., and we've gone all-out to provide an authentic re-creation of Calvin's world. The full range of in-universe characters, props, settings, Time-Fracture Wickets, and the titular Calvinball are all here. Form a group, head to an instance, and let fun reign as the only rule is "you can't use the same rule twice." Whether the score is Oogy to Boogy or Z to 12, the real winners are the gamers.

Great ideas all Sim, but I was actually looking for sort've sarcastic "joke" games. I'd buy Calvinball Online tomorrow regardless of money.

There was a (mildly) similar thread that I posted on once, so I had to go looking up my ideas... as it turns out, they all sucked, but that's not the point. The NecroSwanson had a suggestion for a Bill and Ted-esque parody of Don Quixote. I'm not sure how you'd do it, but it was funny to me when I read it (and think about it).

Or... You're an adorable anthropomorphic tomato, and are rudely picked from the ground one day and end up in a supermarket. You must stave off hungry humans, get out of the supermarket, and make your way back to the farm before rot sets in. Only thing is...

Spoiler

You die anyway, as you're a tomato and off the vine. Ah, such is life.

It's not a great idea but I thought it was funny, as a Take That to the other video games where you have to escape prison or whatever... Make it bright and shiny and happy (so the ending is soul-destroying!)!

This is an odd idea my friend pitched to me a while ago. Bloody christmas. All of your favorite holiday icons beating each other's brains out in an all out everything goes wrestling MMA tournament to see which holiday hero is the biggest badarse. Imagine playing as Santa Piledriving Rudolph, and maybe each character could have special attacks, like the easter bunny could throw exploding easter eggs!

Tamrielic Trader isn't "joke" enough for you? Very well, then.

Meat Quest. What could be more fun than a game where you play as a pork chop and have to save the world from PeTA? NPCs include Chicken Thigh, Meatball, and Ribeye Steak. Enemies include Miso Soup, Quorn, and the horrible mid-boss Tofurky!

Food Network and Fuji TV Present Iron Chef Kart! Because nothing says "quirky Japanese game" quite like a kart racer. As one of the Iron Chefs or as Kaga-san, race around Kitchen Stadium, but watch out for secret ingredient obstacles placed around the course!

Poké Krishna! Pikachu, Charmander, and all your other favorite Pokémon are at the airport handing out flowers on the concourse! Pika pika hare rama chuuuuu!

Could we combine our games? I'd play your PeTA game, actually, but I think you need an adorable anthropomorphic tomato somewhere in there (because vegetables are living things too, PeTA! Bahaha!).

Sure. Your anthropomorphic tomato is secretly a member of the Meaty Resistance movement but gets killed off in a classic Disc One Surprise, then the Church of the Cheeseburger does a gruesome ritual involving running captured Potato Soldiers through a julienne slicer. Tomato's death will not have been in vain as the Meaty Resistance eats the potato soldiers with ketchup made from their friend the tomato.

We so win this. As long as it didn't become one of those really horrible games activist websites tend to have where you do something and a pop-up announces some stupid statistic you can't be arsed about.

EDIT: Wait, wait, wait? You eat my adorable tomato? Well, I suppose that keeps in line with the idea of letting nothing go to waste.

Republican Presidential Campaign.

You have to spend your time on the phone, calling right wing extremeists, making up stories about the other side, trying to bury and spin your way out of the bollocks your own party members and nominees have said, organise an appearance by chuck norris, use hand-eye coordination skills to obfuscate mistakes back to statements like "but the other person wants to put your babies in a blender".

There's even a musical section where you have to get a crowd of morons to clap in time to a bad country singer who's whipped up a ditty about drilling for oil, white supremacy and god-bothering.

Pre-teen Differently-Abled Kung Fu Sloths!! If you thought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were, like, far out dude, then you haven't seen anything yet. These heroes are even goofier! They're even younger and more hip. In keeping with the times, they're P.C. and are not "mutants" but rather differently-abled! Each sloth is "special" is his own way yet overcomes it to make the criminals pay. All four are the most unlikely kung fu heroes you'll ever meet. Meet the team! Each is named by their mysterious master for a different artist revered by the kids of today.

Snoop Dog: This sloth loves to rhyme, rap and mix beats. He keeps his own special rhythem thanks to his severe muscle ticks that make him twitch uncontrollably when not kung fu fighting.

Marc Eko: Marc shreds it up on his tricked out skateboard when not fighting crime. He's the daredevil of the group risking it all in both fun and fighting because the voices tell him to.

Jonas: This sloth is a hit with the ladies and is the smooth talker of the bunch. He croons his way out of trouble as long as Marc doesn't stir things up too much. These powers are made even more amazing considering his facial deformities. "True beauty lies within" is his motto.

Cobert: This sarcasitc sloth uses his wise cracks to stun his enemies as often as he does cracks from his kung fu chops. His comedic timing is nothing short of amazing considering the way he stutters.

Check out their new kung fu fighting game so amazing it'll make you forget ol' Street Fi- Oh what's it's name.
