tvtropes meme, yay
I've seen this meme all over the place, and have been meaning to do it for a while.
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
Warning, though, I made up quite a few of these myself, either because they weren't on TVtropes, or the ones that were there were too obvious. List contains: 4 films, 3 live action tv shows, 5 books, 2 plays, 2 animes, 2 bands, and 2 cartoons.
1. Princess Bride if the grandfather had been suicidal.
2. A Jewish teen and his wisecracking friend go on a road trip through Asia so the first teen can find his purpose in life.
3. Second-hand store owner's daughter is a God-mode Mary Sue, his girlfriend is into bestiality and necrophilia, and his coworker is named after toothpaste.
4. Nice Guy (TM) moves to Hollywood, can't get laid, goes crazy.
5. A futuristic aristocrat tries to redeem his mom's old boyfriend.
6. People sing and dance suggestively while Nazis take over. Cabaret - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

7. A group of musicians from Nashville, TN. join forces to create a Dystopian Rock Opera based off of a series of NES games with virtually no storyline proceed to act out as if it was real.
8. He's a Teen Genius Villain Protagonist. She's a tough cop into social experimentation. They Fight Crime.
9. A man sings in Spanish, French, and English while accompanied by Eastern European strings, Mexican horns, and ladies in skimpy clothing.
10. Guy gets his rug peed on, and then has to fight a bunch of nihilists.
11. Children see a Thing Man Was Not Meant To Know, run around country looking for another one.
12. 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. House MD - dragonladycels
13. A teenager volunteers to be tutored by a reclusive elderly billionaire, putting his social and family life on hold while avoiding questions about what they do together. Batman Beyond - dragonladycels
14. Two cowboys wax philosophic on murder and share some ho-yay.
15. Cross-dressing Batman in South America fights monsters made by Nazis and makes everyone around them question their sexuality.
16. A French man destroys a utopian English government.
17. A 20-something woman hears voices and goes to the bar a lot.
18. A man tells his bored teenaged children stories about himself when he was younger. Evidently there's nothing good on TV in the future. How I Met Your Mother - umi_mikazuki
19. The world will be saved by a hot girl with a weird name. With the assistance of a cab driver and a cross-dressing radio disc jockey. The Fifth Element - umi_mikazuki
20. Highway patroller goes to a community led by Tina Turner. Later becomes the idol of many kids.
