Police sketch artists, speed bumps, late-night talk shows and the QWERTY keyboard all have one thing in common: They’re shitty ideas that have somehow gained immortality.

We’re not being tongue-and-cheek about the “bad” part either — speed-bumps kill eighty-five people for every life they save and, seriously, have you ever watched Jay Leno? That man is an engine fueled purely by nostalgia.
If you’re ready for a crash course in how some of the worst ideas manage to live forever, throw on your headphones and click play above.
