Nice idea. Welcome to PEEL. 

[Reply #2 on:]

Of course, the easy version is to use the 'Withnail & I' method, but in this case just drink the same amount that Bender does.   

[Reply #3 on:]

About damn time we had some rules for this.  Where's me printer?

[Reply #4 on:]

It's based on the Simpsons drinking game at snpp but with a reduced max number of players (fewer supporting characters).

There's also an older game that someone posted to alt.tv.futurama back in 1999: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=370fb22c.1619461%40gollum.kingston.net&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26scoring  %3Dd%26q%3D%2522Futurama%2BDrinking%2BGame%2522

Chug if:

FOX renews the show
FOX runs a full-length ad for the show
CN buys more episodes

[Reply #6 on:]

Kryten, if FOX renews the show I expect everyone to booze like English soccer fans just prior to a big game.

[Reply #7 on:]

And during. And afterwards. And for the whole of the next day.

Football fans get a lot of drinking done. Some say it kills braincells.

We have our own rules for Futurama drinking games. It's fun.

[Reply #8 on:]

I like to play it like this:

Take one drink if:

Heart is still beating and rectum is not bleeding .

Take two drinks if:

Rectum is bleeding.
Gone Deaf.
Gone Blind.
Gone Fishin.

If syptoms of heartbeat persist drink till cured.

What they said!
And I don't even drink any more...
 

[Reply #10 on:]

Exactly, SamuelX! If Futurama gets renewed, I'll be drunk for a week!

And if there's a movie...? You don't wanna know!   

[Reply #11 on:]

Actual slogan at beginning of a certain Futurama episode:

Drink if you see the robot!

That ought to get me drunk enough.

Edit:Bah, close enough

Technically, it's When you see the robot, drink!  What I'm trying to prove by pointing that out, I don't know...

[Reply #13 on:]

Now this is something we can all enjoy.  Hooray!

[Reply #14 on:]

Dude...the drinking game is so great!  Couldn't we take three gulps if Zapp says Velour?  Or one gulp if Morbo threatens to destroy someone?

[Reply #15 on:]

What's with counting gulps anyway?  My strategy for the Simpsons drinking game was to switch to hard liquor for the 2's and 3's.  One time, I had to do 92 shots.  I wussed out.

[Reply #16 on:]

^ 

Anyway, it was about time that someone came up with a Drinking Game for Futurama. Nice one, SFC!
 

[Reply #17 on:]

YAHOO!This shall b fun!...I think...*random cussing in background*

[Reply #18 on:]

Why did I not find this game earlier?

My god, this is FANTASTIC.

[Reply #19 on:]

I was just wondering if anyone but my friends and I have actually done this...?
Watch Love and Rocket and take one sip for every time Bender is on screen, take a new sip each time the camera angle changes, but just one for each shot, otherwise you will die.
The first time I did it my buddies and I took a swig each time the camera pans but stays on Bender, we soon discarded that idea.
PS: Drink something light like cider or beer, no wines or spirits. I don't want to be responsible for any tragic deaths.

[Reply #20 on:]

If I am relaxing with a brewsky and an episode of Everybody Loves Bender, I tend to drink whenever alcohol is referenced or consumed.

I've never done "When you see the robot, drink," though. I would how that would work in episodes with multiple bending units, such as Flexo, Bender-1, Möbius Dick, or Benderama.

[Reply #21 on:]

For Mobius Dick, you have to chug when the infinite Benders are onscreen

[Reply #22 on:]

Hang on, am I forgetting something from Mobius Dick?
The only robots in that episode are Lifter and Bender, right?
The infinite Benders are in Benderama.

Playing that game with another Bender heavy episode could be good fun, like The Lesser Of Two Evils or Bendless Love. That is, if you counted Flexo towards the drinking.
What is Bender - 1 by the way? :/

[Reply #23 on:]

The resolution is kind of low, but I estimate there to be approximately 250 Benders here (25 Benders per ring, and 10 rings visible).



Bender! Bender! Bender!

[Reply #24 on:]

Ha ha! Oh yes, that bit. I forgot about it cuz it's only about two seconds long. I think if you took 250 swigs of anything you'd end up in hospital having your stomach pumped.
I don't think Mobius Dick would be such a greet 'When you see the robot, drink!' episode.
Bender needs to be neatly spread out throughout the episode for the game to work smoothly.
But not sparsely like in That's Lobstertainment or uh, uuuh... Hurmmm... Why can't I think of any other episodes without much Bender in them? :/

[Reply #25 on:]

The only episode I can think of with too little Bender for it to work is "The Why of Fry," where he's absent for most of the middle of the episode

[Reply #26 on:]

Oh yeh, that's one! Uh. What about Time Keeps On Slippin'? As far as I remember (and that isn't very far) he isn't in that episode very much either.
Hurmmm, this may turn into a thread of trying to name episodes without much Bender! Ha ha!

[Reply #27 on:]

The resolution is kind of low, but I estimate there to be approximately 250 Benders here (25 Benders per ring, and 10 rings visible).

There's more in "Benderama"; it's somewhere in the thousands, according to the commentary. (Can I abbreviate that to just "B"?)

[Reply #28 on:]

Yeh sure. Put apostrophes around it though in case my sleep-deprived brain forgets and doesn't know what you're on about.
I think the WYSTRD game shouldn't (because it can't really) be applied to Benderama.
Bender heavy episodes yes, but not THAT heavy! O.O Ha ha.

[Reply #29 on:]

WYSTRS is way funner.

[Reply #30 on:]

Bender's Big Score will destroy your liver. Literally.

[Reply #31 on:]

WYSTRS is way funner.

I assume the S is short for smoke? As in, toke?
If so that may well be hilarious to try! XD

Bender's Big Score will destroy your liver. Literally.

Ha ha, it definitely would! O.O
But only right at the end I'd say. Also when he's stalking Fry in the past, that may take some effort to get through.

[Reply #32 on:]

I choose to watch Benderama, Mobius Dick, and Bender's Big Score all at the same time repeatedly. When I'm done, please enlist me in AA.

[Reply #33 on:]

Considering your age, they'd probably force more than just a few meetings onto you.

[Reply #34 on:]

When I'm done, please enlist me in AA.

Ha ha, I think it'd be more likely that you'd be in... I dunno, 'Alcoholics Obvious' rather than 'Anonymous' after that! Most people would be able to tell that you're drunk! Ha ha. You'd also have to drink about seven times your own body weight in alcobooze just to keep up with the game whilst watching those! O.O
How old/ young are you by the way SGB?

[Reply #35 on:]

He just turned 14 on Wednesday.

[Reply #36 on:]

So in Scotland he'd be well on his way to destroying his liver.

[Reply #37 on:]

Ha ha! Yeh I guess! I don't know any Scottish people though and I've only been to Scotland once for a weekend, so I don't know how accurate that stereotype is. :P
Apart from the idea that our only accents are posh and cockney (I'm neither) all the English stereotypes are pretty much on the spot! Ha ha.

[Reply #38 on:]

Aussies have the best stereotypes. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going ride my kangaroo down to the pub and hunt a few dingos. Or something.

[Reply #39 on:]

Try not to get a booting from the 'ol police, mate.
