4	Drinking games for ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
5	----
6	* Take a drink every time you notice that [[HalfwayPlotSwitch the episode's plot changed]].
7	* Every time Homer says "D'oh!", or ScreamsLikeALittleGirl, drink.
8	** Likewise, drink if he says, "WOO HOO!" or "WHY YOU LITTLE...!" and strangles Bart.
9	** Same goes for "Mmmm... donuts..." and/or that drooling noise he makes.
10	** Drink whenever he drinks alcohol or eats donuts.
11	* Take a drink every time [[ButtMonkey Homer]] is injured in some way.
12	** Take two drinks every time [[TheyKilledKennyAgain Homer dies]] during the Couch Gags and ''Treehouse of Horror'' segments.
13	** Drink every time he delves into a [[ContinuityNod continuity-laden]] rant that somehow delves into the realm of the {{Metaphorgotten}}. Take an extra finger if the rant [[CallBack calls back]] to an occupation/crazy scheme that occurred that very season.
14	** If, in seasons 9-12, Homer is seen holding a humorous pennant, take a shot. If it's somehow plot-related, take an additional finger.
15	* Take two drinks if a character other than Homer says "D'oh!".
16	** Take three drinks if the character is not a Simpson.
17	* Take a shot for every item a repo man ''isn't'' supposed to take takes.
18	* Every time Marge does her frustrated murmur, drink.
19	* Every time Marge is a killjoy, take a drink. Drink the whole bottle if this habit of hers is lampshaded (ex. everybody turns to see if Marge will naysay the idea of a casino in "$pringfield") or is central to the plot (ex. "Bart After Dark" or "Bart's Inner Child").
20	* Every time Barney burps, drink.
21	* Every time a celebrity does a guest voice on the show.
22	** Take two fingers if it's obvious the voice is a celebrity or not.
23	** Take another drink if a character on the show addresses the celebrity by name and occupation.
24	** Take a shot if the celebrity's appearance is a cameo (ex. Music/{{Metallica}} or Cindi Lauper). Take two shots if the appearance is short but helps the plot (ex. Music/EltonJohn, Music/PaulMcCartney). Down the whole bottle if the whole episode revolves around the guest appearance (ex. Creator/DustinHoffman, Music/MichaelJackson, Music/LadyGaga, Elon Musk).
25	* Every time Nelson says "Ha-ha!", drink.
26	** Extra rule: If watching the first 5 seasons and this gag comes in through an odd variation.
27	** If the laugh follows him beating someone up, take a second drink.
28	** Take an additional drink if LaserGuidedKarma gets him right after he mocks someone.

33	* Take a shot every time [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield the writers make a gag about how they will never say where Springfield is located.]]
34	** Take a shot every time the structure of the town is changed for the sake of a gag (like Moe's Bar and the church being within running distance of each other in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'').
35	** Down the whole bottle every time things are added to the town that are utterly nonsensical [[EldritchLocation to the point of borderline Eldritch]] (such as West Springfield being a desert ''three times the size of Texas'' in "Half-Decent Proposal").
36	* Take a shot every time there is a gag that demonstrates that's ''every single'' business in Springfield is either already IncompetenceInc or will be in due time. Recurrently-appearing businesesses like Krusty Burger and the nuclear plant will get as many shots as gags appear in an episode. Take two shots if the incompetence gag is life-threatening in any way, shape or form.
37	* Every time Mr. Burns says "Excellent".
38	* Any time, Smithers or Patty's homosexuality is brought up, drink.
39	* Every time the Comic Book Guy says "Worst (insert word) ever", take a shot.
40	** Two shots if it's "Best (insert word) ever" instead.
41	* Every time Dr. Nick cheers "Hi everybody!", drink.
42	** Two sips if it's an odd variation.
43	* Every time Krusty says, "HEY, HEY!" or "Hi, Kids!" followed by his goofy laugh, drink.

45	** Take a shot if Krusty is a corporate whore in some way. Take two shots if the gag involves something life-threatening in any way, shape or form (such as Krusty answering to a NoodleIncident). Gags regarding his horrifyingly unsanitary mismanagement of Krusty Burger ''will'' get shots from this and the "incompetence gag" bullet point above.
46	* Every time Sideshow Bob says, "Hello, ''Bart''." drink.
47	** If someone screams "Sideshow Bob!" in fright, drink.
48	** If Bob tries to ''kill'' Bart, take two drinks
