Don't use any ideas from him.
He is a failed sitcom writer.

You forgot about the part where the girl gets pregnant and you have to pay child support.

Once apon a time, there was this little boy who used to play around with a toy FA/18 Hornet Jet in his backyard, playing make-believe, but he spent too much time outside was was developing skin cancer from all the sun exposure...So his mom bought him a computer and he discovered a thing called internet forums...

Whatever your story is about, in the end, make sure everybody dies, except the protagonist, who has miraculously survived whatever implausible catastrophe you have invented that caused everybody else to die.

So you have a lot of dead bodies... ruins... rubble... ashes...

Suddenly, from underneath the ashes, something moves!

And the protagonist emerges from under the ashes... unscathed! Triumphant!

And then a large steel beam falls down and hits him, and he dies too.

But make it just ambiguous enough that your viewers will suspect there might be a sequel... something that's blatantly wrong about the story, which would suggest it's "all just a dream". (Helps you get away with whatever lousy plot you had in the story too.)

you should do a tv-series about a journalist and his attorney that go to vegas. Maybe lots of drugs could be included.

And On that day, the Lords of the land said unto their Master Architect, "The temple you have made to the gods of Wasabi and Maki has brought us no great prosperity" and they sent out him into the lands.

As he traveled to a far off land, he found he wasn't traveling alone, but that he had gained companions, and when they found their new land, they started work on a new temple, one that would be OPEN to all who wanted to worship.

How about a SciFi from the aliens perspective, looking down at mankind and laughing.

South Park also did a spoof on reality shows where Earth was the reality show to the rest of the universe...

So much for this idea...

Hey, you stole most of that from the Matrix 3.

I've always wanted a storyline that's about nothing...

Unfortunately, you can't possibly outdo a Shakespearean play.
