nessanielTVTropes meme: go to Better Than It Sounds and find some shows/books/whatever that you like. List 20, let people guess.
1.A really nice guy and his friends sing rock songs. Religious fanatics and a corrupt politician murder him. He gets better.
2. Pope-lookalike gets headshot and his underlings must find the murderer. Only it turns out that the murderer might have had good reason for doing so...
3.A bartender pretends to be the world's greatest assassin on a quest to steal the power of Jesus, who was an alien.
4.Undead detectives foil a doctor's sinister plot to discover the cure for decapitation.
5.Smug witch makes a Weirdness Magnet her bitch.
6.A man and his talking computer-controlled car wander the country, fighting crime (far too easy but beautiful <3)
7.A hyperactive goth, a hairy football player, and a tough girl go on adventures together.
8.Model one-man British police force gets transferred from his crime-infested city to a town where nothing bad ever happens. His partner, a fat guy who loves Buddy Cop Shows, wants to make his life exciting again. Lots of Ho Yay ensues.
9.A crazy red-haired woman regularly subjects elementary-aged children to life-threatening situations without the knowledge of their parents. Protests from the children are usually ignored or glibly dismissed. (I don't think anyone will ever get that...xD)
10. A desert canine, despite being backed by millions of dollars of technology and equipment, fails to catch a flightless bird, albeit one who can keep pace with The Flash.
11.Crime fighters from another universe come to Earth... and play hockey. (best description ever)
12. 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). Corny CGI ensues. ( I NEED THE SLASH DRAGON IN MY LIFE!)
13.A cute little girl navigates a world of very confusing and complex love relationships, while collecting cards in her spare time.
14. An untalkative, millennia-old, amnesiac robot meanders around a mostly abandoned space station looking for genes (Jesus, that really sounds bad xD).
15.A teenaged girl has to keep her sister from getting pregnant. (AHAHHAH xD)
16. People fight over a piece of jewelry. A bunch of pot-smoking midgets provide a convincing argument that size doesn't matter.
17. Young woman is captured by violent fanged monster, and talks to furniture and crockery. Fortunately, she convices her captor to not be such an ass and everyone lives Happily Ever After. Except for a Bruce Campbell lookalike, who falls of a building.
18. Resident Badass spends most of this book talking to himself. A future tyrant is bullied by his classmates. People die pointlessly. (Even I would not recognize it and I read the damn thing for five times, xD)
19.A military veteran, now a monk, helps solve murders. (fits in every century *hint hint*)
BONUS: 20. A lot of men and women work together to solve crimes in different cities. Some of the men take showers together or want to adopt children. Oh and one of them had sex with a villain. (I am so sorry... xD)
