The Kramer test for 'bad ideas': imagine Kramer explaining to Jerry why he just invested a bunch of money in the company ("but Jerry - it's an alarm clock... AND it's SOCIAL!"). If it sounds like something he might say, then it's probably a bad idea.

After QuickMeet, they could use the platform to implement QuickMeat -- which lets users post their ETTBGD, or Estimated Time To Beer Goggles Drunk.

Like Redux, they would be helping their users get laid.

The thing is, Kramer had some decent ideas. Particularly hiring an NYU student as an intern for Kramerica Industries. Easiest way to get a personal assistant ever.

The giant oil bladder wasn't a bad idea -- the test was flawed.
