My first exposure to "Hitchhiker's" was probably the t.v. series. I loved the
almost monochrome green graphics and text of the sections covering the Guide's
topics, such as [1], which compared Encyclopedia Galactica's entries to the
guide's. The narration of Kurzgesagt science videos reminds me fondly of the
hg2g [3].

I also loved the bits about people who'll be "the first against the wall when
the revolution comes".[2]
