Better Than It Sounds

[tredlow]

Inspired by Tv Tropes, (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BetterThanItSounds) this game is all about describing something in a way to sound unappealing, or at least confusing to the general public.

For Example:

Doctor Who

Old guy invites hot young women to his tiny booth where he lives.

Stuart Little.

Parents risk catching rabies to please their son.

and so on...

It could be a TV Show, a videogame, a movie, a novel, a comic book, a webcomic etc.

I'll start:

Dragonball

[Remolay]

Guy searches for starred balls that grant wishes and ends up getting the whole world killed at some point

Mario

[The Highway]

Tiny Italian Man goes on mushrooms that make him kill mushrooms, turtles and dinosaurs, and smash is skull open on mysterious floating boxes.

Pokemon

[Ray-The-Sun]

Charles Darwin meets Cockfighting.

Starfox.

[Mr Nutt]

The Secret of Monkey Island: A Disney ride come to life! Well, not really.
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge: A young pirate seeks a fabulous treasure that never really existed.
The Curse of Monkey Island: A young pirate proposes to his girlfriend. She swiftly turns into a statue.
Escape from Monkey Island: A young pirate discovers his wife is legally dead, and must stop a greedy Australian land-developer from insulting everyone in the Caribbean.
Tales of Monkey Island: A young pirate spreads a plague after accidentally bringing his worst enemy back to life.
(That's right I just went and stole ones from TV Tropes)
