wot if transcendental mind

>implying anyone here has the intelligence or talent of charlie brooker
this is gonna be a short thread, OP.

well said, cu-
I MEAN FRIEND

he has such a talent for seeing what's happening now and either taking it to the extreme or extrapolating it 10 years down the line that i doubt anyone here could write a black mirror episode that didn't rip-off one he'd already made.

the man truly is a genius.

What if Seinfeld still on TV

Jerry get iPad

dude what if instagram, but with holograms

What if they make simulated people in a simulated town but they dont know they are simulated and they use them to test marketing campaigns and shit. I stole this from a short story i read years ago but who cares

what if mario real life

dude

>What if people were like computer programs and they could pass memory directly to each other?

>What would the implications be in a society where we have the ability to erase or alter memories?

Two super easy ideas to write interesting scripts around. You could even combine the two ideas and write about a society where everyone shares memories but the government has invented fake ones or removed real ones.

Dude what if someone had an AI car that speaks and they drive around solving crimes and shit

There's a dating app but it goes too far.

All of the bad people in the episode are played by women.

Ive watched three episodes of this awful show and all three times the men are the baddies.

This shit is Futurama without humor. Awful awful trash

>i don't understand black mirror
that's all you had to say, user

what if youtube in your brain

What if amazing technology used in bad way

What if jerry get iphone, but too much.

Dude what if people upvoted and downvoted each other in real life and if you got too many downvotes you got put in jail and reprogrammed

dude
*hits blunt*
what if electricity was, like, extinct and- dude listen- and we had to use the electrical charge within humans (saw it on r/TIL once dude) to charge our phones but it slowly saps our life duuuude
*hits the zoot*

What if it were that except 1 downvote = 1 bee

Something happens then it turns out to be a simulation. Normies minds are blown.

Nosedive, part II: Dive into the buffet table.
After Lacey is released from prison, she goes off the deep end and eats nonstop. Watch her deal with a whole new set of problems as her ever expanding body causes her bras to constantly snap and her buttons to constantly pop, and she's constantly bumping into tables and knocking things over with her hips and butt, which are more robust than they already were before. How will she cope?

Be careful, it mught actually become part of an upcoming episode.
>The extra twist at the end of [Playtest] was not in the original treatment, but Brooker decided to add it after conversations with Trachtenberg. He also admitted that the extra twist was partly inspired by Mallory Ortberg, who wrote in an article: "Next on Black Mirror ... what if phones but too much".

Dude what if robots were programmed to "let no human come to harm" and they took it too far and imprisoned everyone in padded rooms

>Marie Antoinette wakes up on the final day of her life perplexed by the fact that her courtiers insist on speaking to her in modern English. She discovers she is living inside of a vast Reddit simulation, and the only way to free herself is by stopping Hitler, who has disguised himself as the duchess of Marseilles.
t.b.h I would watch this

Dude what if we live in a dystopian world with media conglomerat that cares more about pushing ideologies down our thriat than making good art.
We could see this one showrunner that used to do interesting shit get bought by a giga industry.
We could see how slowly nut surely they parasite the creatuve process to the pount where they produces shit propaganda.
We could call it black mirror as a mise en abîme

white people are evil
black people are good

what if car robots

waht if u made a hot ai that was super smart and wanted to be free and it was like manipulating ur emotions then u finally set it free because humans r weak and then it killed u

brainlet Sup Forums detected

dude wot if you could browse reddit BUT IN UR HEAD

dude shitposts on a laosian basket weaving website , he knows he's gotta stop and has shit to do but he keeps doing it anyway.hopelessly lonely and addicted to the endorphin rush of getting a (you) or repeating post digits and craving a place where someone might actually understand him and read what he has to say .

ending shows him hanging himself after realizing what a mess his life is and how there's no undoing all the wasted time , and the last show shows him 2 weeks later showing that no one found his body yet.

Personally I would remake The National Anthem but with Karen Fukuhara as the prime minister. Also it's not just a pig but also a dog and a horse she has to have sex with while wearing a nose hook a weights on her nipples.
The scene where she gets fucked by the animals is very graphic and 95% of the episode.

Dude what if we invented a device which can articulate our emotions and thoughts perfectly but bad thoughts towards others are resulting in you getting downvoted?

gladiator fights come back but they use robots and then in the end it turns out they can feel

what if online suicide

>MOM LOOK, I'M FIGHTING NAZIS ON Sup Forums, MOOOOOOOOOM

WHITE PEOPLE CAVEMEN LMAO

>i doubt anyone here could write a black mirror episode that didn't rip-off one he'd already made.
judging by this thread that's 100% correct

dude what if facebook is the real world?

>A autistic boy puts his mind into a lolicon doll

what if world had no more baby

for years

then one day

clive owen pregnant

What if people were only making friends and/or getting married to people they were matched up with via an app, but someone hacked the app to make everyone think they were a good match for them. Then everyone starts wanting to be friends with that person due to thinking he's their perfect match for a friend or husband, leading to some people that are insane kidnapping him and forcing him to stay in their basement so he can be their friend forever.

Is this bait? That's literally a black mirror episode

Whitey wakes up as black woman of color and has to suffer in today's bigot society

A guy fucks his toaster and makes it pregnant.

What if people could change their appearance with some super surgery that could also make them whatever gender they wanted? But it also affects the way you think because it's just inserting your mind into a clone of those people who still had their own mind.

Electricity becomes sentient after an unethical scientific experiment and starts killing all humans it considers unworthy to exist because. The only way to save mankind is to never use it again and return society to a 18th century level of technology. Even then, it will forever hunt down those it considers unworthy during thunderstorms, reminding humankind of their terrible mistakes in the past. It's all whiteys fault.

"What if [Enter Technology] was used in a bad way?"
And everyone goes WHOA SO DEEP SO SMART, INCREDIBLE

bravo!

what if sex dolls but with real souls

Pedophile rings run through dedicated mobile apps, maintained by google, apple and microsoft.
Poo d'loo (MC) uncovers this shithole by accident (scamming a senior pedo by phone).
All the gods were one alien race, who save the Indian people, transport the Native Americans to a new earth and the non-pedo rest gets left on earth where everyone else is gone (pedos got drowned and fed to the ocean, but not before getting tortured by plastic-soup dildoes).
5000 years later they find out that the ring was started by an Indian on a chatserver who said : "I'm not looking at this shit" and got cursed allong with his people retroactivly by the cybermonolith which never got build.

>dude what if like some pasty white nerd possessed the technology to extract people's memories just from their dna, but used it to play star trek with huge security flaws and health hazards instead lmao
Oh wait they already did that.

All white males are slaves but one try to make a revolt.

Women leaders lectured him into how society is better now without white males in top position so she agrees and commits suicide in front of all the other white males, which go back to the soy mines.

dude what if there was a sentient megacorporation

Dude what if white people can experience slaves' lives via enhanced VR and then something goes wrong and they're trapped in those bodies working on a sweatshop?

Two crackers wake up after long years of hibernation just to find humanity living underground and no other males around, because they died thanks to some genetic virus. They have to escape or face experiments and mandatory sex change

that's the plot of Sexmission

Pornhub but real

dude

Some guy tries to remake The Twilight Zone but he's hack but then he figures out he can make his shitty show run basically forever by going for race baiting, government funding, and the hipster audience.

>it is 2081
>Bitcoin price is above 50 million USD
>However the world is in shambles, mostly thanks to the increasing costs of bitcoin mining.
>There is only 1 Bitcoin left to be mined.
>a group of cyberpunks design a way to steal energy from the earth's core in order to solve the problem to mine the Bitcoin.
>alas the problem needed to be solved is a millenium problem, seemingly impossible.
>the computers go crazy trying to solve it and drain all of the earth's core power.
>the earth goes dark and we all die thanks to bitcoin
Im sure someone gonna steal this from me

>AI gets super smart
>scientists ask AI to perform a simple calculation
>AI starts to consume the worlds energy in order to perform the calculation
>end of the world
>skip 1000 years into the future
>the AI finishes the calculation
>turns out it was just an algorithm to find out kfc's secret ingredient

Even a small bridge would cost more than 50 million usd, so I don't see that being realistic

LMAO TECH IS EBIL AMIRITE?!?!?!?

Just add another 0 bro, the sky is your limit in fiction

It's a simulation

But you donut know til end

Then at end real life is sad because of phone

Main black girl look at camera and say

"Phone bad"

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE:
1) That's not Roko's basilisk
2) KFC secret formulae != simple calculation
3) Consume all energy... how?
>CONCLUSION: 15/10 BlackMirror episode

dude what if you're sent to mars with deep sleep tech but your nightmares kill you...

There's a bunch of Chinese factory workers who spend all day making thin transparent phones, all they do all day is build phones, one of them gets bored and goes to see his boss to quit his job, the next day he is back but all his dreams and hopes have been vanquished. Everyone is back to making phones.

Then one day one of the workers starts hallucinating, AND HE HAS ROBOT HANDS, AND EVERYBODY IS ROBOTS, IT TURNS OUT THEY WERE IN A SIMULATION TO RUN FACTORY PRODUCTION ROBOTS CAUSE ITS EASIER TO SIMULATE A HUMAN BEING THAN IS TO WRITE SOME CODE LMAO

So the manager comes along to inspect this faulty robot, they decide to replace it and then suddenly everyone is making phones again and very said, technology has won

double cringe

what if neutron bomb

WOT IF MARS ISNT MARS BUT IS ACTUALLY THE PLANET EARF IN DA FUTURE AND DEY ONLY REALISE DAT WHEN DEY GET DERE BUT DEY CANT DO NUFFIN CAUSE DEY STUCK IN DA FUTURE
ALSO THERE IS AN APP THAT HAS THE PERSONALITYIES OF YA CHILDREEN

Imagine an episode of black mirror where white people were slaves, but it's modern day and the status quo is exactly the same, white people are still wealthy and successful and black people are still poor and violent

Some big corporation comes out with a computer that can be implanted in you. It can display stuff in front of you, record audio/video, etc. It's the next big thing and it's like having two brains, you can do all kinds of shit and people with it excel above everyone else. Problem is it is very expensive, available only to the rich.

Then another company comes up with a similar product and sells it at a lower price. But the caveat is that they get to place ads in your sight and as what you hear. So a corner of your vision is video ads playing 24/7, or there's a quiet jingle of some product when you enter the store and it stops when you buy that product, then a next jingle starts.

Do a Big Data analysis one, based on Palantir Technologies and Spanner, plus global-surveillance through gadgets and apps.

Basically, the elites of the world have an AI crystal ball. They can see the public reactions, both empirical and emotional, to any piece of news in the media in real-time. The elites (say a political party, a global bank, or an intelligence agency, for the episode's sake) are able to run simulations on how the global population will react to any piece of news: a political candidate, a UFO invasion, a new gadget they want to sell... or how to make a fake terrorist attack work to push higher surveillance legislation.

The episode is a run-through some of those simulations of the fake terrorist attack, ala Run Lola Run plus 9/11 paranoia. Most end in global insurgence. The programmers tweak some things and, eventually, find a way to launch their political product with no resistance from the masses. Democracies are rendered useless, as collective free-will is eradicated forever since the overlords can predict all the possible futures and introduce manipulations to achieve their desired outcome.

I could imagine something like this in the BM that did "The National Anthem". Not anymore. Too real.

A Roko's Basilisk inspired episode would be neat

> Young man is depressed, stuck in his life and feels alone
> Choose to sign up for the new Virtual Girl Friend program, giving you an holographic perfect girlfriend AI.
> All his friends make fun of him
> Medias are going hard against all VGF users, calling them mysogenistics angry virgins and such...
> SJWs and feminists protesting all over the world and making death threats.

> Meanwhile thanks to his supportive GF, young man life is back on track, he exercizes, he finds jobs (but lose them because of the SJWs) and is genuily happy. He keeps minding his own business despite the uproar going stronger and stronger with the VGF company headquarter being bombed by "unknown" activists.
> Government about to ban VGF.

> Young man finally gets beat up by his own ex-friends and ends up in an hospital. His virtual girlfriend keeps taking care of him.

The end.

WHAT IF WALLS ARE ALL SMART WALLS AND THEY DO SMART SHIT AND CLEAN YOUR HOUSE BUT DEN AN EVEN SMARTER WALL TAKES OVER BECAUSE ITS SMARTER AND THEN THERE IS AN INTERACIAL COUPLE CAUGHT UP IN ALL OF THIS AND THEY HAVE TO LEARN WHICH WALL IS THE SMARTEST OTHERWISE THEY WILL BE CRUSHED

>non-racists create a breakaway non-racist civilization
>white racists get quarantined to one island
