I took this from my girlfriend, who is much more awesomer than I am.
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/musicals/TV shows/etc. and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
1.) A skinny goth philosophizes about the human condition while killing people and drawing comics about a crazy, foul-mouthed stick figure. Also there might or might not be a monster in his basement, and his best friend is a dead rabbit.
2.) Crippled Doctor can't decide if he's Batman, Sherlock Holmes, or Nietzsche; solves medical mysteries to keep the crushing ennui at bay only to find that Victory Is Boring
3.) A short megalomaniac from a society where height determines rank tries to conquer/destroy the ultimate Crapsack World while being opposed by the ultimate Butt Monkey. Also involves pigs and monkeys. And doom.
4.) A kid tries to save the entire multiverse by beating up monsters with a giant key. His strongest allies are a duck and a dog thing.
5.) Nice dead people try to scare living people from a house. Also, a decomposing pervert with an identity crisis falls madly in love with a teenage girl and tries to marry her.
6.) An effeminate boy sells his soul for a highly skilled butler.
7.) Teenage girl collects jewelry with her boyfriend, whose late dad is a real son of a bitch.
8.) Three Funny Animals of indeterminate species live in a refurbished water storage device and spend their time driving people insane, making fun of their writers, and breaking the Fourth Wall at every given opportunity. Also features shorts of mobster pigeons, a jack-of-all-trades giant chicken, and a Genre Savvy retired actor.
9.) A pizza delivery boy goes on a one-way trip to the future, where he meets and befriends a physically deformed orphan and an alcohol-fueled criminal. They all quit their jobs to work for the delivery boy's senile nephew.
10.) Two slackers discover that the dead have risen and decide to go to the pub.
11.) Three young orphans, including a baby, go through a series of abusive and/or ineffectual guardians, while being stalked by their arsonist cousin, their mother's first boyfriend, and a secret fire department.
◦Alternately: 3 orphans end up in the middle of a vast conspiracy involving espionage, death, and a sugar bowl.
12.) Two guys in a Winnebago rescue a Rebellious Princess and her maid. After visiting a midget who is trying to make some money with merchandising, they fight air-stealing aliens who have a bunch of Assholes working for them.
13.) A goth, an orange-skinned space babe, a shapeshifter, a robot, and a guy in spandex hang out in a giant "T" and argue over who gets the last slice of pizza. They Fight Crime
14.) A clueless British inventor and his dog do stuff.
15.) Fending off depression, a terminally ill craftsman and his puppet mascot pose puzzles to strangers.
16.) King Arthur on a low budget. With many original additions.
17.) A walking skeleton decides to be jolly instead of scary, and nearly ruins Christmas as a result.
18.) Pederast terrorizes the French upper crust from underground lair.
19.) A recovering alcoholic tries to keep a Cowboy Cop, a closet lesbian, a gangsta rapper, and John Munch from taking their frustrations out on rapists and child molesters.
20.) A girl who is only famous when she wears a blonde wig overacts, a lot.
