'Name the film, but wrong answers only' meme is cinematic comedy gold

Sage Anderson

Before your favorite films hit the big screens, they probably had a working title that, while technically accurate, could've made it a very different movie if used. The Breakfast Club was The Lunch Bunch. Clueless was No Worries, I Was a Teenage Teenager. And American Pie was Untitled Teenage Sex Comedy That Can Be Made For Under $10 Million That Most Readers Will Probably Hate But I Think You Will Love. 

But what about describing a movie using the name of another movie? Twitter might be onto something here.

The comedic possibilities are endless in this viral meme, which appears to have originated on Facebook and Reddit lolcat memes of yore. The resurgence seems to have come from actor and screenwriter Nathan Brimmer, who kicked off a series of tweets titled "Name the film. Wrong answers only," with a screenshot of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Or, as the comments sections calls it, The Aristocrats, Frost/Nixon, and Thelma and Louise. 

Grab some popcorn, cause this is a highlight reel of the best comments. (Warning: Mild spoilers ahead? You'll probably need the context, though.)
