tvtropes meme

[valentinite]

I still owe comments and tags, and have a bunch to do around the house. So what better to do than waste time on a meme.

TVTropes meme: go to Better Than It Sounds and find some shows/books/whatever that you like. List 20, let people guess.Fairly random collection, as I went sort of randomly diving through the lists after a bunch of ones I

Indeed it is!

If #17 isn't Zodiac, I'll eat my hat. XD

#15 is The Vorkosigan Saga?

[valentinite]

Yes on Zodiac, no on #15. The Vorkosigan Saga wasn't in there, as far as I could see, and I couldn't come up with anything pithy.

[lady_angelina]

Yay! :D

And... awww... yeah, I had that same problem with a lot of the ones I wanted to put up on mine. :<

I'm thinking that #10 is either... Hitchhiker's Guide, or Venus on the Half-Shell. >.> Disregard, I suck cocks. =P I've never even seen Red Dwarf, though I've read the two books I listed.

[valentinite]

It's a fun little British sci-fi comedy/sitcom thing. Low-brow, low-budget, very silly.

And I have no Red Dwarf icons; I should fix that. It lends itself well to iconing, but I've just never hunted any down.

[astrogirl2]

Well, #10 is clearly Red Dwarf, #19 must be The Matrix, and #20 sounds like Jurassic Park.

I have the feeling I'm likely to be kicking myself when I find out what some of the others are, too.

[valentinite]

Correct on all counts!

There's at least one more where I'm sure you know the source material, but I tried to pick less-obvious summaries for the more popular sources when there were multiples.

5 has to be Into the Woods. Love that show so much.

Some of the others ring bells, but I'm not sure.

[valentinite]

Yep!

Right on the money for 1 -- there were a couple descriptions for P3 and I picked the hardest to guess, since a lot of y'all know it.

And nope, Farscape's one of the few big recent scifi series I haven't seen any of. I should fix that some time.

9 is another one I thought a lot of people would guess, and one with a lot of alternate entries in the list, so I picked one of the harder descriptions for it. It's not Shaun of the Dead, though -- the only time I've seen any of a zombie movie, ever, was the first few minutes of something soodonim recommended in chat during the zombie Doyleton event, and then I got sidetracked by tagging.

Apparently I am just too obscure, though I expected that. Especially since some of the more guessable ones I found weren't actually funny, but the really vague ones were.
