    171. You work for Child Protective Services. After a meteor shower in town, a farm couple suddenly has a small boy. Your job is to take him away from the couple who have no right to him, and perform DNA tests to determine where he came from. Be careful – the meteors are known to have had weird effects on some townspeople.

    172. You are a psychiatrist. Your patient is a small boy who has seen his parents killed. You must cure him before the trauma turns into an obsession that can affect him in later life. If you succeed, there will be another, a young circus acrobat, who will require the same treatment.

    173. You are a test pilot with a small aviation company. An alien has crash landed in the desert nearby. You suspect that he lives, and still possesses an extremely powerful weapon. Destroy the alien and his weapon before he has a chance to destroy the earth.

    174. You work in a bio-genetic lab. An irradiated spider has escaped. You must capture it before it can poison any of the visiting students.

    175. Although details are sketchy, a young couple appears to have been killed in a gas explosion in their own home. Their infant son was wounded in the blast (a cut on his forehead), but cannot be found. Witnesses report seeing a large, hairy, disreputable man taking a baby away on a motorcycle. You must find the baby, put him in a reputable home, and keep him away from the large man and any other associates whose activities are not well known to the authorities.

    176. You are the elven herald in a great host to defeat the ultimate evil. Having won the battle and captured the great evil artifact, the commander of the human forces claims it for his own, and refuses to destroy it. You must defeat him and see it destroyed now, or the evil will rise again thousands of years later.

    (Great job, Shhalahr.)
    Ok, I've got a good number of them:
    Spoiler
    Show

    149. The Bible/Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
    150. The Bible/Jesus Christ, Superstar
    151. P.G. Wodehouse?
    152. Cats
    153. ???
    154. Le Fantôme de l’Opéra (The Phantom of the Opera)
    155. Sunset Boulevard
    156. ???
    157. Little Shop of Horrors
    158. The Sound of Music
    159. The Lion King
    160. The Sixth Sense
    161. ???
    162. Signs
    163. The Village? (I don't remember what that movie was called, but it was (iirc) Uma Thurman in some sort of M. Night Shyamalamalamalamalan vehicle)
    164. ???
    165. ???
    166. Personal Experience?
    167. The Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven/A Bug's Life (which, up till now, I had failed to recognize as a port of the other two)
    168. ???
    169. But I like Evita


    So yeah, now that I've revealed my deep love of the Broadway Musical, on to some plot hooks:

    177. You are a party of pirates, one of whom is indentured to your service until his 21st birthday. He believes he has reached said birthday, but little does he know that he was born on leap day. Incidentally, he has found love in the form of a fair maiden. You have brought him back into your service, and are planning an assault on the home of the fair maiden's father, the Major-General, who lied to you. Can love win out?

    178. All of the fairy tales are true, and each of you is a character from a different fairy tale. You must go into the woods to resolve your various individual plots. Be careful what you wish for.

    179. You are the children of the King, and your father has decided it has come time to divide his lands between you. Two of you are evil and want all of the lands to yourself. Tragedy ensues.

    180. After a great war you have decided to move to the defeated nation, in order to get your artistic groove on. You become a regular at a local cabaret, becoming involved with one of the performers. Can your love survive the political changes just around the corner?

    181. In a misguided attempt to make money, you decide to oversell stock in your latest production, which you have hired the worst bards in the world to write and direct. It is a smash hit.
    No levelled malice
    Infects one comma in the course I hold;

    206. A terrible, evil Dark Lord is threatening good and innocent people and only the Chosen One can stop him! Motivate the Chosen One to stop his self-pity and do something about saving the world.

    207. It's a low-magic world and you're all playing fighters, barbarians, and rogues. Every faction in the world is evil. You're being bossed around by an insufferable Lawful Evil DMPC wizard with plenty of connections. The DM gives his wizard a plot shield and Schrödinger's Wizard powers to keep you in line. The DM claims he is making a philosophical point about how good and evil don't really exist.

    208. You are filthy rich high level rogues but there is nothing worthwhile to spend your WBL on so you just let it sit in huge piles in your lair. Go scam some more money. What else could you do?

    209. You are sent to investigate a new religious awakening. Unknown to you, the leader is an twinked-out diplomancer among his other abilities. The DM thinks PCs should be affected by diplomacy too, as that's only fair.

    210. You are loyal servants of the king. The king is consorting with dark forces and is going steadily crazier and the castle is getting steadily more haunted. Get the king some delicious pie to cheer him up.

    211. The villains are somewhere in Planescape and you can't scry them or anything like that but you must find them to solve the crime! Wander around randomly until the DM has pity on you and let's you chance upon the bad guys.

    212. You are struggling villagers in the lands ruled by the Dark Lord. Luckily a Chosen One has come to save the world. Capture the Chosen One and sacrifice him to the sun so that your crops might grow.

    213: You are an Urban Ranger in a world overrun by evil constructs. Epic magic has sent you back in time to protect the mother of the current leader of your resistance group from a Warforged Rogue/Assassin who has also been sent back in time to kill her before she can give birth to him.

    214: You are a Warforged Rogue/Assassin in a world overrun by evil constructs. You were once one of them, till you were captured by the humanoid resistance forces and subjected to a Mindrape spell. Now you must travel back in time via epic magic to protect the leader of the resistance as a young child from an evil golem with Regeneration/cold damage who has gone back in time to kill him.

    215: You are a Marshal/Rogue taught from birth that your destiny is to lead the remnants of the humanoid races in a resistance group after the world is overrun by evil constructs. Along with your girlfriend and a Mindraped Warforged Rogue/Assassin sent back in time via Epic magic to aid you, survive being hunted by an evil shapeshifting golem with Warshaper levels until the day that the war against the constructs begins.

    218. You're all sick in bed, but luckily your grandfather is here to read you a story!

    219. You're a socially-awkward gamer whose way of life was shattered when an alien race butchered your species over a misunderstanding. The remainder of your kind is searching for a new world to inhabit.

    220. You're a vast, space-borne alien cyborg, your body a conglomerate of machines and biology. You serve as a protector, yet you are dragged into "games" of death by an equally-powerful monstrous entity. One of your battles forces you into a black hole, but you miraculously survive as a spiritual entity with vast control over the universe itself. But you know that your enemy's arrival in this place is inevitable as well...

You can travel to anyplace in time, but only as long as you get to school in time to take your history test.Now travel back to the past and learn about history,so you can pass the history test and go to rock and roll camp to bring world peace!

    222:Everything is going great,you two have girlfriends and you just signed up for the battle of bands. So they say you sound terrible and you're going to be the last band to play,but hey you know it in your heart you will win!Then two time traveling robots,[which look just like you two.]came back in the past and killed you. They plan on ruining your lives and relationships with your girlfriends.Lucky you two are now ghost and must stop them!

    223:In the north a evil is growing.A powerful wraith has taken up a iron crown and now leads his forces to destroy that powerful kingdom of that homebrew super human race the dm made up, in the north.You are minions of this evil wraith and will be facing these super humans!Lucky for you the last true king of the north, had 3 sons and gave each of them part of his kingdom.Giving birth to 3 new kingdoms,which are not the best of friends.That would be a good thing if the dm was not starting you out as level one human commoners.Good luck trying to live past the first battle against this super human race and earning the xp for level two.

    224. Your party is a group of high-level druids, but the DM has applied a homebrew 'fix' that takes away your spellcasting, forces you to physically encounter animals before being able to wildshape into them, and prevents you from spending more than two hours in Wildshape at a time. On the bright side, you can now Wildshape at will and have Telepathy while wildshaped. On the not-so bright side, you must defend your kingdom from an invasion by Tsochari from the Far Realms, who have infiltrated and taken over many key authority figures.

    225: The DM's girlfriend joins your game, and gets to play an overpowered homebrew centaur-like race with telepathy, all-round vision, and an scythe-tail natural weapon. Survive her wacky hijinx.

    226. Bards have gathered at the local forum to share exciting stories, but Trolls are gearing to disrupt the festivities! As a divine hero, call upon your deity, Moderus, to banish them back to the pits of 4chan!

    227. The world has two coincidental problems: A new weapon was invented, but it is too expensive for anyone to buy and you must liquidate its vast supply of ammunition. Boggles have overrun the town. Use all the ammo. Use all the Boggles. Use ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

    226. Your character's backstory has been changed so you have some curse placed on you because of some action your character would never do.

    227. A wizard comes to you and forces you to follow him on a long journey. You don't want to go on his quest, no problem he'll blackmail you to do it. Either in character or out of character your doing the god damn mission.

    228. A portal opens up and you find yourselves in a world of wonder.

    229. Anything with amnesia.

    230. A starting encounter where the group is meant to die so they can be brought back to life.

    You seem to have misunderstood what we meant by "Bad" plot hooks. We're referring to more of the "B-movie" or "clearly-ripped-off"-types, not the ones that you actually get mad over.

    Yes, this; there is some irony in the 'bad' in that many of these would actually be pretty fun.

    And:

    232. Your father swore a blood-oath against an evil lich for killing his master. You (a fighter; your dad wanted you to be a wizard) and your amusing party members must destroy this lich and liberate the dungeon he has occupied (that of a wizard who built it to close a tear in the fabric of reality that came into being when the gods argued while creating the world).

    233. You must write a successful webcomic. Yes, a SUCCESSFUL webcomic.

    236. You are Aasimar on a quest to become full Deva. Convince a local commoner that without him, his community would fall apart. (If he jumps off the bridge, you lose your template.)

    237. The orphanage where you grew up is in trouble. (What, aren't all adventurers plucky orphans?) Win the local talent show to raise the money to save it, while dodging your evil counterparts, who want the money to raize the orphanage and build a puppy-kicking factory in its place.

    239. There has been a rash of robberies in the city where all that has been taken is glitter. There are also rumors that certain citizens may be vampires. Your job is to get to the bottom of the Great Glitter Robbery and dispatch any vampires if found.
