skuldchan I edited some of these.
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/TV shows and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
1. An incompetent scientist living in his father's shadow, his really violent bodyguard, and two dopey sons go on adventures. Venture Bros.
2. Vampire Nazis decide to reenact World War II, and the Catholic Church decides to give the Crusades another go. Dracula objects sternly. Hellsing
3. Cripple can't decide if he's Batman, Sherlock Holmes, or Nietzsche; solves mysteries to keep the crushing ennui at bay only to find that Victory Is Boring. House, M.D.
4. Eight different high school students solve local murders by watching TV all night long. Persona 4
5. Centuries after the sequel to the prequel (but before the prequel to the original two games), but in a divergent time line than the games above, one of the boys sniffs around in the dirt, scares the hell out of innocent townspeople and hunts for bugs while developing a meaningful relationship with his shadow. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
6. The main character is charming, personable, and homicidal. Dexter
7. Two guys do nothing but talk about video games. Or occasionally brutally murder each other. Hilarity Ensues. Penny Arcade
8. A well-off group of famed, socially inept musicians enjoy the ups and downs of their above-the-law status. The band's manger is a Magnificent Bastard ninja-accountant. Hilarity ensues. Metalocalypse
9. The old friend gets hysterically laughed at, tied up, and even assaulted by a badger in the course of solving crimes with logic. Ace Attorney Investigations/Gyakuten Kenji
10. A psychic high school track star helps in the fight against Isaac Newton's evil mecha army. Vision of Escaflowne
11. A pervert with a mullet encourages pretty teenagers to solve their problems through metaphorical violence and pop philosophy for no particular reason. Shoujo Kakumei Utena
12. A girl uses cross-dressing to track down and rescue her brother, and saves her home country by convincing their army to surrender. Monstrous Regiment
13. Bisexual, sociopathic veterinarian/assassin makes a bet with a fashion-challenged uke. Tokyo Babylon
14. A Tall Dark And Snarky man and his Frankensteinian creation cut people open. Black Jack
15. You take over the old family farm, hang with the locals, and get married. That's about it. Harvest Moon
16. A heavily tattooed kung-fu Dalai Lama, his Eskimo pals, a blind Chinese loli take on an army of arsonists. Avatar: The Last Airbender
17. A traveler and a talking motorcycle roam the earth and Try Not To Die. Kino's Journey
18. A lawyer defends the innocent through courtroom antics, beating down an old friend and said friend's mentor in the process. Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban
19. Nerds save the world from Louis XIV by solving math problems. The Baroque Cycle
20. A prince must pick up litter in order to make up for his father's alcoholism. Katamari Damacy
