My Billion Dollar Ideas...
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:23Joe argues that existing products can become business opportunities when rebranded for a specific audience.
- 5:25He proposes higher-quality portable meals for adults as an alternative to Lunchables and frozen dinners.
- 10:12Rentable gaming cafes would give groups a place to hold LAN parties.
- 14:49Joe suggests an app that lets people rent out their driveway parking spaces.
- 20:00He proposes city-contracted public restrooms, then bathroom movie screens so theatergoers do not miss scenes at 22:23.
- 34:10A possible future video would involve making fictional drinks, including Fight Milk and the Flaming Moe.
Why should a bathroom break mean missing part of the movie? Joe Bartolozzi's solution is to put screens in theater bathrooms, keeping the film running wherever a viewer needs to go.
It is one of the more practical pitches in "My Billion Dollar Ideas...", a reaction to Raegasm's animated "Billion Dollar Ideas - Goblins Guide". The cartoon supplies the prompts, but Joe repeatedly pauses to develop alternatives with his live chat. The upload also includes a sponsored segment for the shopping app Whatnot.
His opening business theory is straightforward: take something that already exists and market it to a specific audience. From there, he proposes better-quality portable meals for adults, rentable video-game cafes for LAN parties, and an app that lets people rent out driveway parking spaces. These are brainstorms, not announced businesses.
Public bathrooms become his most sustained concern. Joe argues for more outdoor urinals in American cities and standardized public restrooms provided through city contracts. His frustration with businesses refusing customers bathroom access eventually leads him to the cinema-screen proposal.
Viewers pick up the design discussion. One suggests portable screens with replaceable protective covers; another compares a movie intermission to the useful kitchen-and-bathroom break provided by streaming ads. Elsewhere, a commenter extends Joe's rebranding premise with a ruggedly packaged charcuterie meal.
The video has drawn about 1.6 million views, though its appeal here is the increasingly elaborate brainstorming rather than an unusual surge. By the end, Joe has another video idea: making fictional drinks such as Fight Milk and the Flaming Moe.

What viewers say
Theaters should have small handheld screens you can carry with you to the bathroom so you don’t miss the movie. Have them wrapped in plastic that gets changed every time and now you have a hygienic way to keep watching the movie.

the intermission thing is something I noticed with amazon prime. They play an ad while you're watching something, but at the same time I go to the bathroom or get something from the kitchen while it's playing. Or I check something on my phone if I'm waiting for something.
