This reminds me very much of a challenge that was viral back in February-March; there was this Facebook/Twitter phenomenon here in Norway (I guess other places too?). In February-March, it is still very much winter in Norway and hence; very cold (atleast in the north). I don't know the proper source, or from where it started, but it went something like this:
-A person would get nominated to take a plunge/a bath/a dive into any body of water located outside, preferably a lake, the ocean, or river.
-the person would perform the ice-cold stunt, then nominate people to do the same within 24 hours.
-If they didn't do the stunt, they should donate money to any charitable cause, though I guess no-one HAD to do anything, right?
-Things started to change when people asked for beer/money instead of money being donated.
-This mutated and lost the motivation of the event -- people became obsessed with beer and eventually all traces of good-will was removed from the challenge. I saw some people that kept true to the original formula, but it's a shame that the original message didn't come across at the end.
I don't know if this happened in USA, though I am unaware of the water temperature in the US in Feb-Mar-April -- maybe it wouldn't be so bad at certain places? If not, this is a blatent rip-off of this "scheme".
As for the funny idea:
-you could be all cocky (since your already donating); sit by a table (assuming your filming this?), ,fill out a check or something, then stretch your arm off-screen and pull a bucket filled with ice and a champagne bottle in it. Pop the cork, fill a glass and take a sip then utter: "boy, that's cold" or some other wise-crack :p
-you could "fake" an "ice-bucket mine field" where you are blind folded and have to get across a path filled with ice-cold buckets of water. The surprise is that when your done and "safe", a couple of your mates can deck you with all the buckets you just side-stepped.
-You could take a plunge in an ice-cold body of water, like the Norway-challenge, but are there any cold places to bathe right ow? :p
-You could stand in teh shower while a friend of yours flushes the toilet...lol. American entertainment has taught me that this is pretty cold :p
