TVTropes + Memes = AWESOME.
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/television series and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
Since Peo stole a bunch of the good ones, there is almost no animanga on this list. It's mostly video games, books, and TV shows.
1) Exaggerated right-wing pundit reinterprets the English language, itemises things that are dead to him and attempts to alert America to the increasing threat posed by bears.
» The Colbert Report (plural_force)
2) A boy finds a really cool book and learns from it. This turns out to be very bad.
» Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (laenavesse)
3) A commercial for granola bars causes a schizophrenic ninety pound girl and a Shell Shocked Senior to topple a government.
4) A boy spends three days trying on masks in a new town.
» The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (laenavesse)
5) A boy's split personality plays with his enemies before he mind rapes them.
» Yuugiou (dragonbeak)
6) A guy with a sword. His father. They don't get along.
» Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (laenavesse)
7) A callow orphan joins a princess leading a resistance against an evil empire. They're joined by a rougish pilot/pirate and his tall, furry partner. A guy in full, black body armor gets in the way a lot. There's twins and daddy issues, but no R2D2.
» Final Fantasy XII (laenavesse)
8) A pro ballplayer's hometown is blown up by a giant Space Whale. One thousand years later, he goes on a quest to beat up his father.
» Final Fantasy X (laenavesse)
9) A girl decides that the perfect man for her is the guy who wants to kill her.
» Gundam Wing (plural_force)
10) A math teacher convinces her class she's a fan of yakuza films.
» Gokusen (plural_force)
11) This Is Your Premise On Drugs: The Book, Vol 1.
12) A young male teen-turned-demon survives the world being turned into a giant space womb and gets to decide which one of his friends impregnates the baby universe.
13) A team travels through a simmering ring of water, to other planets, to kill gods.
14) Dr. Frank 'N Furter, Doc Brown, and a bunch of other blackmail victims run around a big house looking for a murderer and debating simple mathematics.
» Clue (plural_force)
15) A mass murderer claims to have reformed, but occasionally relapses.
16) Japanese doctor sacrifices his career to save the life of a young boy. Said boy decides to thank him. Painfully.
» Monster (plural_force)
17) A man is let out of prison and is hired as chauffeur and bodyguard to a weird man who's conducting a secret war against another bunch of other weird people.
» American Gods (plural_force)
18) Post-it-notes are Serious Business.
» Dead Like Me (plural_force)
19) A group of people are at the complete, utter mercy of a whimsical and cruel god who alternates between deleting their toilets and trapping them inside the very walls of their own homes.
» The Sims (plural_force)
20) A centuries-old war hero, accompanied by a cocoon and their daughter the Internet, travels to to the home of a young girl, where he marries her after discovering that trees are actually pigs.
The last one is included solely for being the funniest summary I found, and if anyone actually gets it I will eat my hat.
