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:

  1. 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.
  2. Nothing too on the nose, ex, no "I love the music of the Red Army Choir" or something.

          A designated segment of everyone! When your lust and desire is powered by the revolutionary vision of true human connection, sex becomes transcendant.

          Once you've had that connection, there's no going back.

        Elaine Marie Benes: Oh well nothing wrong with that. Gotta make those big bucks... money money money money money money money... ha ha ha ha ah... are you a communist?

        Ned: Yes, as a matter of fact I am.

        Elaine Marie Benes: Oh, ah! Oh! Wow! Whoa! A Commie! Wow, gee, man it must be a bummer for you guys, what with the fall of the Soviet empire and everything.

        Ned: Yeah, well, we still got China, and Cuba.

        Elaine Marie Benes: Yeah, but come on...

        Ned: I know it's not the same.

        Elaine Marie Benes: Well, you had a good run. What was it 75, 80 years? Wreaking havoc, making everybody nervous.

        Ned: Yeah, we had a good run

          you're missing the best exchange from that episode:

          Elaine (gifting Ned a shirt, which he says is 'too fancy'): Just because you're a communist, does that mean you can't wear anything nice? You look like Trotsky

          Ned (excitedly): Good!
