Via Reddit: Sum up a popular film, song, or TV series in a few lines of code.

I found this awesome thread in /r/AskReddit today. /u/dingobiscuits asks the programmers of Reddit to sum up a popular film, song, or TV series in a few lines of fake code. The answers do not disappoint. Here are some of my favorites.

From /u/takagi: (Call me maybe)

if (justMetYou)
{
    crazy = true;
    cout<<number<<endl;
    int x = rand()%100;
    if (x>=50)
    {
        callMe();
    }
}

From /u/ZekeD: Batman or Hey Jude?

for ($i = 0; $i < 11; $i++){
    $chorus .= "Na ";
}

if ($subject == "Batman"){
    $chorus .= " BATMAN.";
}
else {
    $chorus .= " Hey Jude.";
}

From /u/Gazz1016: The Matrix

int[][];

From /u/Sahasrahla: Inception

function inception(){
    return inception();
}

There are a bunch more very good ones in there. They made my day!
