15 ideas for Dropout TV's Make Some Noise minigame "A Challenger Appears"

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. The show has three rounds, plus a minigame before each round. One of those mingames is "A Challenger Appears" where one player starts ranting about a particular topic, (e.g. "Developing your taste in music"), but the other players can then interrupt the first on the fly by buzzing in and saying "challenge", letting them take a new approach to the topic that is in disagreement with the player who began the rant. This interrupting has no limits and whoever is speaking when exactly three minutes have passed is declared the winner. Anyways, here are 15 ideas for the Make Some Noise minigame "A Challenger Appears" (that I don't believe have been done before)!

  1. The Lost Art of In-Person Communication
  2. Bananas Changing Flavor After the 1950s
  3. The Importance of Physical Media
  4. Graffitiing Over Other Graffiti
  5. The Significance of the Olympics
  6. Why Telling Analog Time Matters
  7. The American-ness of the Tradition of the "Big Game"
  8. When to Become a Parent
  9. The Time to Bail on a Romantic Relationship
  10. How to Advocate Without Becoming Domineering
  11. The Relevance of Live Theatre in a Digital World
  12. Escaping the White Savior Complex
  13. The Best Way to Let Someone Down
  14. Pickup Lines that I Can Confirm Work
  15. The Perfect Drinking Game

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. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. 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. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. 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 ...
