TVTropes meme
Saw on two different journals, and it looked like too much fun not to steal it.
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
Here we go then :) I've got 4 TV shows, 7 Movies, 2 Books, 3 Video Games, 3 Cartoons, and 1 Theatre Production.
-----------------
1.The personification of Beware The Nice Ones travels with a few successive companions until he has to neutralize one.
2. Model one-man British police force gets transferred from his crime-infested city to a town where nothing bad ever happens. His partner, a fat guy who loves Buddy Cop Shows, wants to make his life exciting again. Lots of Ho Yay ensues. Hot Fuzz - amredthelector
3. An Officer And A Gentleman throws away his Naval career for his new pet.
4. A baby is switched at birth, which causes great problems later on. Meanwhile, a cynic with a fondness for antique cars, a rare book dealer, a Granola Girl, a man who breaks things, one of the last witch-hunters in Britain and the witch-hunter's landlady attempt to prevent four rather sinister bikers from causing The End Of The World As We Know It. Good Omens - amredthelector
5. A dog and a bug go stargazing and practice calligraphy. They are insulted by a Frenchman everyone.
6.A man injured on the job gets no worker's compensation, so he decides to shoot up the place with an immigrant friend.
7. A hero's attempts to slay a dragon are delayed when everyone makes him/her solve their problems first.
8. Five educated British men make complete fools of themselves on national television until they run out of ideas, at which point their American colleague cuts bits of famous paintings out and moves them in front of the camera. Monty Pythons Flying Circus - amredthelector
9. Three middle-aged men arse about with cars and a whole bunch of the BBC's money. Somehow, the results are brilliant. Top Gear - amredthelector
10. Slacker dude from New Jersey refurbishes a Humongous Mecha from the future out of spare parts he finds in a dumpster. Aliens want to steal the mecha for their own purposes. Lots of things explode. Mega XLR - yasushiroi
11. Two disgraced angels try to exploit a loophole in Catholicism to kill God and destroy the universe, and it's up to an abortion clinic worker, two stoners, a stripper, and the 13th Apostle to stop them. And there's a monster made out of crap.
12. A trigger-happy botanist and an elderly sanitation worker fall in love. Then they rescue some fat people from a steering wheel.
13. Old man trying to cope with his wife's death kills their mutual childhood hero, steals his pets and vehicle. Up - amredthelector
14. People who have seen way too many Zombie Apocalypse films go to an amusement park.
15. A pug-nosed toddler, her furry sidekick, and her egotistical horse fight evil with the power of the visible light spectrum.
16. Scrawny young teen stops a seven-generation long war and impresses his dad by eating a raw fish that his best friend spit back up. Cuteness ensues.
17. You and your friends are surrounded by fast zombies and friendly fire is on.
18. A group of geek and a hot geek blow stuff up in the name of science.
19. A circus specializing in explorations of aspects of Life, the Universe and Everything...with next to no dialogue. It's All There In The Manual!
20. Giant robots trapped on a primitive world wage war on each other while hiding from the planet's populace. Transformers - yasushiroi
Let's see how many of these get checked off :D
