1. Something like Once More with Feeling, from Buffy's canon - i.e., random musical numbers, but they break the usual musical conventions in that people talk about the numbers, and little to-the-audience asides are considered shared information, etc. [I think there may have been one of these before my time, from things I've heard people say, but if so, we could have another one, maybe?]
2. Detachable Velcro limbs, for a day. Rip your arm off! Swap with someone else!
3. Random electronics become sentient, and will argue with you when you try to use them. (I.e., your laptop switches web pages to ones it thinks are more appropriate, the television suggests you read a book for once.)
4. Somewhat swiped from Labyrinth: beautiful fairies appear, but they are bitchy and nasty and bite you.
5. Somewhat swiped from The Sims: genies appear! They will grant you wishes! But they're kinda incompetent. A lot.
6. A common room where conversation has to start with sequential letters of the alphabet. (Ex.: "Are you feeling all right?" "Better than I was." "Can I borrow that?" "Don't mind if you do!")
7. Sitcom background audio: laugh track, applause when someone walks in, an audible "Awwwwww" for anything cute, and the guitar cue of Everyone's About to Hug and Make Up Now
8. Insane Japanese-style game shows, taking place in the common room for no apparent reason, where the questions are bizarre wrong answers mean you get hit with a rain of fish and so on. (I don't know if they really have those game shows in Japan, or if that's a weird misunderstood stereotype; I just think they'd be fun.)
... And speaking of game shows we so need another round of Fandom Peril. *salutes Hades*
