this is based on a forum game series from the TV tropes forums. for those who don’t know, Schaffrillas Productions (
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5UYMe ... LHzoTJB1xA) is known for his movie ranking videos, where each “Number #” transition is accompanied by a sound snippet from a movie/game/show that relates to the work about to be discussed (it’s usually never a line from the work itself). the last place jingle is always the “Disappointment in the Game of Life!” jingle from a Robot Chicken sketch. so, here’s how the game goes: i’ll name a work, then the next poster makes up a jingle for it, then names another work for the next poster. i’ll start:
