1. A bureaucrat tries to get some loose paperwork errors corrected, and maybe get his air conditioning repaired in the process.
2. Super-centenarian travels to New York to claim a prize.
3. A group of stuffed animals, cats, robots and a cokehead squirrel drink hard and wheel and deal in the author's house, Hell and outer space... among other things.
4. The last human in existence drifts through space in a vast abandoned ship. It's a comedy.
5. Washed-up actors discover that people they never expected to meet love their work a bit too much IN SPACE!
6. A trigger-happy botanist and an elderly sanitation worker fall in love. Then they rescue some fat people from a steering wheel.
7. 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.
8. Freakishly talented, seemingly ageless guy goes everywhere with a hairy old drunk and a dog.
9. A group of bored people walk to visit the site where somebody died. On the way, they tell stories in hopes of winning food.
10. Magicians who work for the British government regulate magic, travel to parallel universes, and die. A lot.
11. Boy named after a mouse helps locals improve their drug-filled sandpit, despite unfriendly wildlife. The government disapproves.
12. A stammering cripple pretends to be retarded so his family doesn't murder him. Becomes king of the world in the sequel. Oh, and incest!
13. A pair of time travellers go to Victorian England to try to play matchmaker and look for a really ugly vase.
14. Obnoxiously religious man meets people who are even more obnoxiously religious than he is.
15. A bumbling manservant uses non-specified superpowers to protect his unwitting and unappreciative master while taking advice from a dragon that basically speaks in subtext (and ships them).
16. A scientist with daddy issues goes on adventures with his idiot sons and his overzealous bodyguard while an army of men in butterfly suits tries to kill him.
17. A neurotic divorcée, her drug-addict boyfriend and their murderous, amoral sidekicks run black ops for The Empire while a math teacher battles a crimelord over the right to take over the world. Then the aliens attack.
18. A hobbit and his friends try to find some treasure that was buried in a cave. They end up not getting to keep much of it.
19. A girl enrolls in a mysterious academy where fencing is practically a way of life and everyone has issues.
20. A man beats himself up. Lots of people think this is a good idea.
