Examples that come to mind:
- saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
- saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9
The two rules are that:
- It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
- Nothing too on the nose, ex, no "I love the music of the Red Army Choir" or something.
I've been saying it openly for like 15 years now and every American I've talked to thinks I'm joking until I say something nice about China
