Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

01. A pair of bitter war veterans, a prostitute, a mercenary with an ugly hat, a cute mechanic, a Hawaiian-shirt wearing pilot, a preacher with a Mysterious Past, a socially inept medical genius and the cutest little psychotic killing machine ever all get together on a ship. They Fight Do Crime! Firefly:

05. Lots of children get sick, and join a cat-eyed cult led by three brothers, whose mother is a head in a box.

Meanwhile, a cynic with a fondness for antique cars, a rare book dealer, a Granola Girl, a man who breaks things, one of the last witch-hunters in Britain and the witch-hunter's landlady attempt to prevent four rather sinister bikers from causing The End Of The World As We Know It.

17. A fight between an Emo Teen and his best friend gets a bit out of hand.

19. Two gorgeous brothers with major-league Daddy issues seek out monsters and kill them in various nasty ways, using things as diverse as salt-filled shotgun shells, barbed wire, and circular saws.

Alternate, less-detailed version: A sad couple drive around. Supernatural

20. An old woman breaks into a con man's house. Romance ensues.

This meme is awesome. Because it's SO true that when you try to ecplain something you're like "....uhhh...just watch it."

Although: Weiss: : A group of androgynous, sexually ambiguous young men pose as florists to cover-up their lucrative business as assassins.

Does not end up any different when you watch it.

This meme is awesome. Because it's SO true that when you try to ecplain something you're like "....uhhh...just watch it."

for some reason, i am awful at explaining things that are awesome. i usually make the person want to watch/read/whatever it less. arrrgh.

Yes on all~!

~~I felt like anyone who didn't get the Dark Tower one...probably hasn't read the dark tower. Cause like...wtf else could it be~~

10 is a 90's/early 2000 cartoon~

Yep~!

And it's so true. I'm just like..."Look, watch it."

~~Although "Look, there's an episode where a succubi gets a guy by pretending to be his baby brother." worked pretty well once with Supernatural...though I feel that isn't really representative...~~

7. Lilo & Stitch
8. Sailor Moon ?

Yep on both :3

13 is totally parakiss, and 12 is maybe runaways?

I read it again, and 10 is totally batman. Like, the third Robin, Tim, I'm pretty sure.

four is Tokyo Babylon. Eighteen is Naruto?

Is twelve possibly NGE?

But Bruce Wayne isn't exactly a reclusive elderly billionaire...

Tim ♥

Ten isn't Batman Beyond, is it?

It sure is~!

(I was like "SO close...but SO FAR" with the first guess.)

Yes, yes, and yes.

Yes, and 12 is Evangelion.

... I totally had Lilo and Stitch until my internet crapped out...

The best part is that I never really watched Batman Beyond. I was thinking "What if there was something where Batman was a reclusive old man? OH WAIT"

And then you said late 90s/early 2000s cartoon and I was like, score.

These are really hilarious. XD

3 - Speed Racer

MM

Ugh, I had SO many of these last night. But my internet was like, "No, no, fuck you."

Correct~!

-O'keefe

is 6 Cloverfield?

It IS! I am surprised anyone got that one.

6. Cloverfield

I was about to nominate Godzilla (the non-canon one, with "Ferris Bueller".)
It would have worked, too.
