Im pretty sure this takes the cake:
"Puber - Uber for Poopers"
https://ride.guru/lounge/p/introducing-puber-uber-for-poopers
EW! It would take a lot of money for me to let strangers into my house to poop!!
I can't believe no one has mentioned:
Eaze: Marijuana Delivered
Wow.
so anyone who delivers is no an Uber.
There was the Uber for kittens, for an ice cream truck, for christmas trees...There was Travis Kalanick (the original CEO and chief moron) suggesting they call the company boober because it could bring girls with big tits in to the bro's in the coding team. With Uber the dumb ideas flowed like champagne at New Years until they got rid of the CEO and began to take them selves more seriously. Now they have some catching up to do, but they seem to be trying.
I totally did not know that "boober" reference came from Travis reign. Totally believable
Boober? It sounds like something Daniel Tosh would bring up on Comedy Central.

I am gonna be a karma whore and go post this as a post.
It's all an marketing attempt!
See, the problem is, every company who sells anything is marketing itself as an "Uber for..." They are just positioning themselves as a "fast service" in the word who demands instant gratification.
All of these businesses existed long ago. We always called them over the phone, and they'd deliver. Hey, take a look at this one. Does it sound familiar?
It's dumb.
Yeah, it's all about positioning. Perhaps even to the investors. Everyone wants to be the next Uber.
Saucey. Uber for alcohol. Alcoholic beverages and liquor to your door in 30 minutes
https://www.saucey.com/
That sounds like a horrible idea.
I can see an alcoholic, with his hands trembling, reaching out the phone and ordering from Saucey.
Here are some:
Washio – the Uber of laundry
GreenPal – the Uber of lawn care
Privlo – the Uber of mortgage lending
Uber of mortgage lending? That's Lending Tree.
but seriously, that isn't an "uber" for anythihng. That's like calling HomeDepot.com a Uber for powertools.
Here's a big list

Uber for puppies. Uber for mariachi bands.
....oh, right, those existed. LOL.
wat?
Honk - Uber of Roadsie Assistasnce. AAA anyone? In modern days, we all have cell phones. we can just look up a local mechanic and call.
Everything is Uber for ABC these days.
Oh, look! Dominoes have now announced themselves as Uber for Pizzas.
