15 general prompt ideas for Dropout TV's Make Some Noise

For those unfamiliar with Dropout TV, it's a comedy subscription streaming service run by the production company that was formerly CollegeHumor. One of their series is Make Some Noise (a spinoff of Game Changer). Most episodes of Make Some Noise has three comedian players, improvising scenes based on prompts from the host, Sam Reich, that often feature impressions, noise-making abilities, lore building, and teamwork. So, here are 15 ideas for general prompts for Make Some Noise (that I don't believe have been done before)!

  1. The Clip Shown for the Oscar Winning Documentary Short on the Decline of the Pencil Industry
  2. A Problematic Editorial Style Guide that Should Be Scrapped Tries to Justify Itself
  3. The Crossover Episode All Nerds Have Been Waiting For
  4. A New and Too-Grounded D&D Class Selected by the Most Annoying Type of TTRPG Player
  5. The Backstory of a Character that in No Way Explains Why They are Questing
  6. An Eager Librarian Showing Off the Library's Newest Obscure Acquisitions While Shushing You
  7. The Captain's Attempt at a Rousing Sea Shanty Goes Awry
  8. An Art Museum Object Label Written By Someone About to Rage Quit
  9. The Siren Song that Would Absolutely Work on One of Your Fellow Players
  10. A D20 Going Through a Rube Goldberg Machine Like Dice Tower
  11. The Orientation for the 14 Young Noble Citizens Who are Preparing to Enter the Minotaur's Labyrinth
  12. An Icebreaker at College Orientation Gets Real Real Fast
  13. The Scrapped Escape Plans of Daedalus and Icarus
  14. A List of Campaign Promises Alfred Pennyworth Would Pitch for Batman's Campaign to be Elected Mayor
  15. The Draft of a First Contact Message that Got Sent Before Finishing

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself.

It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do.

She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
