Game #27: Seinfeld

It's a Drinking Game About Nothing

Picture
Oh, Seinfeld. We barely understood you when we were children. Now we understand you all too well.

A show many have labeled "ahead of its time", it was in many ways the anti-sitcom. Plot threads revolved around small, even non-existent slights. Conversations would often derail completely. Scenes lasted for sixty seconds at the most. And all four of the main characters were legitimately terrible people. It's a miracle it got picked up, and even more miraculous that it ran for nine seasons to critical and popular acclaim. 

I found making a drinking game for this show difficult, which shouldn't have come as a shock considering how unpredictable each episode became, especially season to season. "Seinfeld" threatened to break my tried and true game-making methods. Once again, we watched five episodes, none of which resembled any of the others. And we gazed upon mid-nineties New York City with shock and awe, and as we drank the same question burned in all of our minds:

"How far away from this are we?"

Game #26: The Godfather

Drink ALL the Wine

Picture
This is by far the longest game we've played here at For Your Inebriation. The Godfather is an epic, clocking in at just under three hours of backstabbing, power-grabbing and high-stakes negotiation. Believe me when I say, though, that the length of the movie will not make the game any less difficult.

Ideally, this game can be used for any of the movies in the Godfather trilogy, but for the purposes of our test, we used the first in the series. We treated the game like a party. People were constantly coming in and out, we ordered a pizza, and the wine flowed like a river. A dark, slow movie like this didn't seem likely to be a huge conversation piece, but it was, and we all had a blast.

But what you really want to know, I bet, is how many bottles of wine we went through that night. The answer is six. Read on, good friends.

Game #25: The Brady Bunch

Gee Whiz, What Just Happened?

Picture
Okay...okay, let me take a second to try and remember.

I'd had the idea to make a drinking game to The Brady Bunch a while ago. Yeah, not a lot of people watch this show much anymore, but all our parents loved it, and we loved it by association. The MOST improbable family goes on "adventures", in 20 minute episodes that are, as TV Tropes puts it, almost completely devoid of conflict. It could be fun to drink to, I thought. It could be good for a laugh.

I awoke the day after we played this game to enough empty bottles on my floor to make a large sculpture with, a splitting headache, and little memory of the episodes we watched. 

I'm sure I can figure out what happened. I just need to retrace my steps...

Game #24: Memento

"See, I Have this Condition..."

Picture
This is one of the most difficult drinking games I have made to date.

The rules are pretty standard. The game is difficult because in order to enjoy this movie, you have to pay close attention to EVERYthing said.

Memento launched Christopher Nolan's career, and as a first major hit, it's fantastic. Its  compelling story, small but mighty main cast, tight plotting and all around sense of creepy make it an incredible piece of film. However, all of the elements that make it a wonderful movie make it a...challenging film to drink to. By the time you get to the end, you might not remember enough to be shocked by the thrilling twists and turns the film throws at you.

While this does put you in good company with our hero, it's not company you should share on a first viewing. This game is a brain teaser, as well as a timed relay. How far can you get into the movie playing this game before it stops making sense?
