There's an opportunity for a complete product development business based solely on productizing parody ideas (see also satirical prophecy). No need to brainstorm, simply watch old SNL commercials or read through Al Jaffe features in MAD, and the next billion-dollar idea will float to the surface. Witness the TwoDaLoo, a toilet-built-for-two that pays unacknowledged homage to it's duh-obvious inspiration, the Love Toilet (SNL).
In SNL's premeire 1975 episode, they featured an ad for Triple-Trac, a razor with three blades, soon an actual product. In 2000, they advertised the Platinum Mach 14 razor. MAD and the Onion have been developing parodic concepts for razors as well, and it seems that product development at Big Blade is working to reach those lofty goals.
If anyone wants to invest in developing a Taco Town franchise, please let us know.
