    I wonder how well a "Fan Submitted Openings Lines" video would do, giving good critiques or praise to lines that Ramblers wrote or came up with.

    "Ricardo lapping and sucking at felicity's mouth as If she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil"
    This has to be the single funniest sentence in the english lexicon😂😂😂

    While the line isn't great I still kind of want there to be a real book whose worldbuilding includes people randomly finding small dragons in their boots 😅

    My submission for the worst first sentence: The zombie wasn’t dead like it used to be, it was reanimated by magic or science or something to shamble through the undulating swamp being thankful it couldn’t smell the miasma, or it would be if it could think like it could when it was alive the first time.

    Love what you said about people knowning/appreciating the material well enough to make a great parody of it. Reminds me of the recent Star Trek Next Generation anniversary 'special' cartoons whoever is in charge of Star Trek put out. I saw only clips, but that was too much. Awful stuff. Fans could and probably have come up with much, much better.

    The scowl at myself in my mirror is a good example of how its short and still doesnt respect the audiences time. "I scowl at my reflection." Done.
    The sticks one actually pays off because what is happening is due to something being too short and running out of time. I'd argue its length aids its imagery. Whereas the 50 shades of grey example just feels like someone padded an essay, theres no intention or purpose behind it.
