It’s been quite a while since we’ve done one of these. Here are our suggested drinking rules for the seminal sketch comedy show of any generation: Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
Take a drink any time any of the following occurs:
1. Nudity
2. Cut to cartoon
3. Gumby (Dumb yelling guys)
4. Cross-Dressing
5. Cut to 1-2 unrelated clip
6. Long memorized list
7. Being Crushed by a Giant Object
8. Knight in Armor
9. Opening Credits beginning late in the episode
10. Pantomime anything
11. “It’s…”
12. “And now for something completely different…”
13. Sketch after the end credits
Since the show tends to be all over the place, if you find that you’re not drinking enough, there’s one easy fall back rule: drink any time something completely bizarre happens.
Before the show ends I feel like it would be good to share the Lost drinking game with the world. Because Lost is a show that is constantly evolving (or ruining a good thing if you’re some sort of loser who hates Lost), new rules were developed as old ones ceased to be applicable. No need to worry about math, every instance of a rule means 1 drink.
-Every time there is a Jack-face or Dan-face (Jackface!)
-Every time Michael says “WALT!” or “My Son!”
-At the beginning of every flashback/forward
-Whenever someone time travels
-Whenever Sawyer uses a nickname
-Ben or E-Locke Lie
-Appearance of any of the numbers (4 8 15 16 23 42)
-Every time Hurley says “Dude”
-Whenever there is an explosion
-Whenever a gun is pointed at a central character
-Whenever someone dies
-Every time someone talks about destiny/faith/belief
-Whenever Charlie or Claire say “Chah-lay” or “Clah”
-Whenever Desmond says “Brotha”
-Every time a vague question is asked to facilitate exposition/recap
-Dramatic trombone Womp
-Whenever someone says “Trust me!” or “You don’t understand!”
-Close up shot of an eye
When you’re too drunk to remember what you just watched, it’s like getting an extra new episode every week!
