Re-released on
video Feb. 3, 1998!



I developed this drinking game in college, where I suppose most drinking games are created, and it has served me well. In the tradition of the ancient and well-respected drinking game, "Hi Bob", this game utilizes catch phrases to cue drinking.

This game was first played at a cast party after a largely unsuccessful show. I played with whisky, others with beer. I didn't even make it through the end of the video before driving the porcelain bus.

I highly recommend using beer instead of hard liquor, unless you're an alcoholic. And you are, so stop denying it and get rich and famous quick! (That way you'll be first in line when you need a new liver.)


Basic Rules of the Game

When you hear a predetermined word or phrase, you must drink. Here are some of the catch phrases you MUST use for optimum enjoyment of this game:
  • Farmboy.
  • As you wish.
  • Buttercup.
  • Hello, my name is...
  • Inconceivable!
  • True love.
  • Mawige.
  • Humperdink.
  • Man in black.
  • Boo!
  • Rodents.
It is important to drink when ANY character says these catch phrases, as they occur in many places, even in the narration. You'll find that they occur more frequently than you might think.

Variations of the Game

  1. You may assign one character to each player. Whenever that character says or does something cool, that player must drink.
  2. You may do the same with lines by assigning one or more cues to each player. (We've drawn out of a hat before.)
  3. You may add other catch phrases to the game. (I've included some.)
Here are some of my favorite phrases you may wish to add:

"You truly have a dizzying intellect." "Wait till I get going!"
"What's so funny?" "I'll tell you in a minute."
"...and dream of large women."
"hahahahahahahahahahaha... (thud)"
"I am not left-handed!"
"I'm not left-handed either!"
"Life is pain, highness...anyone that says otherwise is selling something."
"Ever heard of Aristotle? Socrates?" "Yes." "Morons."
"Anybody want a peanut?"
"My way isn't sportsmanlike."

Disclaimer

I do not advocate the consumption of alcohol, and realize that sustained use may have adverse effects on one's health. Alcoholism is a serious problem, and alcohol abuse may lead to abuse of more harmful substances. But from those of us who are responsible drinkers, who only drink on a social basis, and who do not become violent or operate heavy machinery while under the influence, please LIGHTEN UP!!!
