Every station has a flunkee (intern) that is quite willing and usually physically able to take some abuse
for your "cause." Here are some weird, strange, ridiculous stunts that you can impose on your gopher.
As always, e-mail Bit-O-Humor your personal success stories (or terrible mishaps). All of these work best with a live audio feed obviously.

Just look for the pepper symbol for show prep and bits related to the clean, creative humor offered here.


Funny Stuff to Do in an Elevator:
1) When there's only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn't you.
2) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.
3) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.
4) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you're on.
5) Hold the doors open and say you're waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg. How's your day been?"
6) Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, "That's mine!"
7) Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.
8) Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.
9) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they'd like to play.
10) Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.
11) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.
12) Ask, "Did you feel that?"
13) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.
14) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It's okay. Don't panic, they open up again."
15) Swat at flies that don't exist.
16) Tell people that you can see their aura.
17) Call out, "group hug!", then enforce it.
18) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"
19) Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside,ask,"Got enough air in there?"
20) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.
21) Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You're one of THEM!" and back away slowly.
22) Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.
23) Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.
24) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.
25) Stare, grinning at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I have new socks on."
26) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is my personal space!"

Peppered Prep: Find the tallest building in your town and have your intern/flunky spend the morning show in the elevator (remote audio equipped) trying out each of these, then have them report on the reactions to each.


Bubble Wrap and Roll
Wrap your flunkee in bubble wrap and duct tape and roll him down the stairs in a prominent local building. Tape a cel phone to his face for a live audio feed of the event.

- Performed on Ryan in the Morning, KDWB, Mpls., MN (Dave Ryan, host).


Duct Tape Your Intern to a Signpost at a major intersection.
This stunt has been done by several stations in conjunction with a Duct Tape Guy/Duct Tape Book interview. Warning: Make sure you support their feet (or you could crucify them). Call Tim@651-482-0700 for a prize package of duct tape and a set of Duct Tape Books.


Elevator Caruso
Have your flunkee ride the elevator at one of your city's taller buildings singing out loud each time the door opens - see if anyone gets in with him/her. If someone does actually get in (we doubt they will), have the flunkee encourage them to join in with them on the next chorus.
