Dear Anonymous: I’m assuming you want to make something you can serialize, instead of a one-off video. I used 10 Ideas in 10 Minutes to come up with these quick video ideas:

Wear a popular sci-fi costume while you do normal things. Imagine a vulcan with a tri-corder at Starbucks… (popular examples are dancing stormtrooper in Japan, and Chad Vader)
Wear a popular horror mask while you do normal things. What does Freddy Krueger do to relax?
Wear a popular superhero costume while you do normal things. Be extra clumsy.
Go about your day, but once per episode, turn to the camera and sell a fake product (like on the Truman Show).
Do everything in pretend slow motion while people around you are normal speed.
Every episode, review something no one else would ever review, like a toilet, or a stop sign. Encourage viewers to review these things as well through video comments.
Do a food show, but only buy and make instant food. Include recipes.
The protagonist could be an humanoid or an android that is trying to figure everything out for the first time. How would a walking human computer relate to a gum-ball machine or a parking meter?
Do a self-help show, and describe how to do something simple (for the android in #8) like opening a door handle or making toast. Make sure to review the steps at the end of the episode.
Re-enact famous scenes from movies in the wrong context or setting. Imagine “you can’t handle the truth” being spoken into a McDonalds drive thru.
BONUS: What would Stephen Hawking do? Imagine if a person went through life with Stephen Hawking’s computerized voice as their conscience? I see an Oscar in your future!
