I put this in the TV thread, but decided let's give it its own thread and see if everyone is keen on giving it a go.

A friend of mine is trying to persuade me to watch a TV series he loves. I asked him to provide me with the best youtube clip of less than 3 mins of that show, and I would judge whether I'd watch the show solely from that clip. He provided it to me, and gave me a spiel of how I'd need to know certain character traits etc, but nonetheless I made my judgement purely on the clip he gave me.

What I was thinking would be cool is we name what our favourite shows/movies are, and provide a < 3min youtube clip (let's say around 3mins, happy for it to be say 3:30 if it so happens) from that show which is your selling clip - the one you consider to be the best one, and that someone could watch and go "yep, I've gotta watch that show". It's surprisingly difficult! The shows/movies can be old or new - just your favourites over time. This might end up cool in that we will all decide to watch things we otherwise wouldn't have.

So yeah, give it a crack. List your favourite shows/movies and the link a clip that you think would persuade people to watch said show. Feel free to make your own 3min clip if you have the skills to. The clip can be 20seconds long if you think it does the show/movie justice. It can be a direct scene from the thing, or can be a montage of a single character. I think "Best bits of _____" is a bit much, so maybe steer clear of them.

Would recommend.

Yep. Great show. It's one of those comedies that really rewards you watching from the start, always referencing jokes and events from earlier episodes.
