alt title(s): TV Tropes Drinking Game An egregious game you can play while browsing TV Tropes Wiki.
Palynig thsi game whileyer editing ain't reckommemmed ruhmockended recmoemndde ish a bad idea! *hic*
Note: Choose any twenty items on the list. If you're foolish enough to play with all of them, well..
Regular Edition:
General
- Take a six-pack when you see a brand new example on the top of the page.
- Take a mouthful for every new trope article that gets started without being first run through YKTTW.
- If said article is actually worth keeping around, rather than instant Cut List fodder, finish that bottle off.
- Take a sip every time a troper puts "enough said" rather than an actual context.
- Two sips if you don't get it.
- Take a sip for every trope page with a header quote from:
- Take a sip from two glasses at the same time if any two of the page's quotes have inconsistent indentation.
- Pour your drink into another glass and take a sip if the page contains a link to itself.
- Take a sip for every example that misuses the words "subverted", "inverted", "averted", or "justified".
- Use a sippy straw if the word partially comes before one of those words.
- Take a sip every time a trope is subverted "brutally" or "painfully".
- Take a sip when something is said to be "Lampshaded" because a trope was simply mentioned in the work, but not because it was actually pointed out in an attempt to hide it.
- Take a sip for every Pot Holed Take That.
- Take two sips for every plain old un-Pot Holed Take That.
- Take three sips every time someone Pot Holes to Take That for a completely unwarranted reason (wow, this'll happen a lot...)
- Make someone else take a sip if they look at this from behind your back.
- Take a sip for every article that references Applied Phlebotinum, Lampshade Hanging, The Oldest Ones In The Book or some other essential piece of wiki lore without linking to the relevant article.
- Take a sip while tilting your head sideways every time somebody doesn't italicise a series title. Then correct it.
- Take a sip every time you see a trope red-texted by a misspelling; then correct it.
- And then take another sip, because, being stone-drunk from playing the game (you just lost it, by the way), it'll be even more horribly misspelled.
- Chug when accidental (and unnecessarily-spaced) red text is created by a non-trope word — like Mc Donald.
- And speaking of The Game...take a sip every time you lose. Then take another if a particular mention of The Game also mentions the liberating xkcd strip
 .
- Shout "Kanpai!" and take a sip every time somebody uses the Japanese name for an anime or manga instead of the English name.
- Take a guzzle for every article with the untranslated Japanese name.
- If you're American, take a sip every time you see British spelling; if you follow British spelling, take half a sip every time you see American spelling. Take two every time you read a trope that has both 'colour' and 'color' in it. If it has both 'cheque' and 'check', hold a glass high and sing "Rule, Britannia!" or "America the Beautiful" (whichever one you don't live in).
- Getting your friends and / or family to join in is optional.
- If you don't live in either, sing both, one after the other, in whatever order you choose.
- If you're Australian, sing 'Advance Australia Fair', and then switch midway into 'Waltzing Matilda' when you realise you don't know half the worlds of the national anthem.
- Alternatively, sing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" if British, and "God Save the Queen" if American.
- Pointless trivia: The title of the American version is "America." (Also, take a drink whenever someone corrects a comment in a new bullet instead of just correcting the original comment.)
- If you're Canadian, take a drink for both American and British spelling. You use both, you drink to both. And then sing either national anthem.
- Or your own, in both official languages.
- Drink another time if you are able to sing it in Inuktitut.
- Then take a sip for every time someone mixes up you're and your. Not for any good reason, just because it's the only way to deal with it.
- Take a sip every time This Troper shows up to give a very subjective opinion and/or relate an anecdote from their own life (and you're not in Troper Tales).
- Drink the whole glass if another This Troper replies to agree/disagree with the opinion or to say that something similar happened to them, too.
- Take another sip if "This Troper" is actually a pothole link to someone's contributor page.
- Take two sips if This Troper relates how shocked, SHOCKED, they are that an example from their favorite series hasn't already been added.
- Take three sips if This Troper was right to expect said example to be mentioned sooner.
- Finish the bottle if said example has been mentioned already.
- Two bottles if you were the one to add the example and forgot about it.
- Three if has been mentioned before and the reason it's not there anymore was because it wasn't a real example.
- Four if you haven't yet died of alcohol poisoning.
- For the personal safety of those who actually want to try this drinking game, change "bottle" in the above four steps to "glass". And for that matter, omit the last one entirely.
- If you don't care about the personal safety of those trying this drinking game, suggest they trade up. If they want to try it with beer, suggest Jack Daniels as an alternative. If they want to try it with Jack Daniels, suggest absinthe. If they want to try it with absinthe, call the men in the white coats.
- However you're playing, double your intake if there's a Pot Hole to Casablanca when the troper is talking about how shocked they are.
- Take a sip every time a troper replies to and contradicts a previous troper in a trope example. Then correct it.
- Actually, you're supposed to bang two glasses together and sip once from each.
- To be fair, it was originally correct until some troper edited this entry for the lulz.
- "What are you talking about? Those edits never happened!"
- Take a drink for every example that consists of "Two words: <something>".
- Also take a drink for each example that consists of "<something>. Full Stop."
- Also drink for "X has this in spades". Especially if there's nothing else there.
- Also drink for "X is the king of this trope". Two if it's "the undisputed king of this trope".
- Also drink if it's "X Just X".
- Take two drinks if the X is a potholed quote or character name rather than a title.
- Drain your glass if you can't actually puzzle out what exactly is being referred to without mouse-overing the link.
- And pour yourself another if you still can't figure out what the two "obvious" words mean when you have viewed the pothole. Same if there is no pothole.
- Take a sip if it links to Two Words Obvious Trope or X Just X.
- Drink the bottle if you figured it out and feel superior for it.
- Drink the bottle if it's really three words.
- Take a drink if an example that has 'Where to start?' or 'Where to begin?' followed by a long list of examples under it.
- Take a sip if you have to uncover a spoiler in order to understand why a certain example is on the trope page.
- Take three sips if it's an anime series.
- Drain the whole glass if it's something you actually have seen.
- Chug if the fact that a series is mentioned on a certain page is a spoiler by itself.
- Chug again if the spoilery information implied by the series' mere presence is spelled out in a spoiler, as if you couldn't figure it out from "<series> has an example of <trope>".
- Chug again if if the example is entirely spoiler-tagged.
- If any spoiler reveals something you really didn't want spoiled, give a Big No, then immediately drink yourself into unconsciousness. When you wake up with a hangover the following morning, you might no longer remember the offending spoiler!
- Take a sip for every trope that's identified as an anime-specific trope (either in the article itself, or because the article is solely indexed under Anime Tropes) even though its list of Western examples is as long or longer than the list of anime examples.
- Chug a glass of water if one of the page's category bars has no "next" or "previous" links.
- Take a sip for every trope page with an image from:
- Take a swig whenever the image is completely meaningless to you.
- Take a sip for every image without a link to the page of the series it came from. Then fix it, if possible.
- Take a sip from someone else's glass for every image not hosted on TV Tropes.
- Drink the whole glass if it now shows a "no hotlinking" image.
- Take a sip when you see an image you've seen on another page.
- Take a sip when an image's caption says the character in it is "this trope's patron saint".
- Take a sip when an image "shows us how it's done".
- Take a sip for every time is invoked, and an extra one if the description of the -worthy element is potholed to that page.
- Take a long drink every time, because "I Am Not Making This Up" is no longer a wiki-link, sentences like the above now seem to be missing a very key phrase.
- A shorter one if it just leads to a broken pothole (visible brackets).
- Take a sip for every phrase potholed to Did Not Do The Research.
- Take another if a more specific page, such as Misplaced Wildlife, would have worked better.
- Take two sips every time something is called a Narm even though it doesn't actually make the scene funny.
- Drink the whole glass one sip at a time if somebody potholes every single lettEr of a word.
- Down two glasses every time you uncover a supersecretspoiler like this one.
- Drink the whole glass if a trope from Discworld is mentioned and it isn't an example of a subversion.
- Take a sip if an Irregular Webcomic example mentions that the strip's commentary includes a link to this trope page.
- Or Darths And Droids.
- Take three sips if the example specifically mentions that the commentary does not link to TV Tropes.
- Take a sip if an Order Of The Stick example refers to a strip less than three hours old.
- Take two sips if you were about to add it yourself.
- Three sips if the text refers to "a recent" or "the latest" strip but the strip is now more than three months old.
- Finish the glass if you can't figure out which strip is referred to without an Archive Trawl
- These rules also apply to xkcd.
- Take a sip if a Warhammer 40000 example is described as taking the trope to "extremes" or "ridiculous levels".
- Take a drink if a Mahou Sensei Negima example mentions that it is actually a Shounen series that is made to look like an Unwanted Harem.
- Take a sip for every instance of the phrase "notable aversion" or "notable exception."
- Drain the whole bottle if you think the aversion actually is notable.
- Take a sip from a friend's glass when you see the phrase "you are not alone". If you have no friends present (or no friends at all), immediately abandon the page you're on and continue the drinking game from Ineffectual Loner, Loners Are Freaks, or, if you are young and female, Shrinking Violet.
- Take a sip if you see an unflattering reference to some work that goes out of the way to address the author/creator by name.
- Take a sip if an example is mentioned as being "the absolute epitome of this trope"
- Take another sip if there is no explanation or support for this claim.
- Take a sip if someone says "Some people, This Troper included," letting you know they have a certain opinion, but totally aren't the only one they know that thinks that.
- Take a sip every time the Trope Codifier is identified as the Trope Maker.
- Take a sip every time the same trope is linked to twice in the same sentence, or in consecutive sentences.
- Take zero sips for every aversion listed on a non-omnipresent trope.
- Take a shot every time you see somebody Pot Hole a show using a character's name without actually giving the name of the show in text (making it impossible to search for the show on that page).
- Take three shots and then juggle the glasses if somebody italicizes the show's name and then Pot Holes a character instead of, y'know, using the name of the show to link to the show's page.
- Take a sip if an example lists by number the installments of a series that does not use Numbered Sequels, such as Fire Emblem.
- Take a sip every time a foreign term is misused.
- Take two sips if the misused term is from your native language.
- Take two sips if a character in the show lampshades its misuse.
- Take a loooooooong drink for every time someone is told to recite the MST 3 K Mantra, or whenever the mantra is referenced. Doesn't count on the actual page.
- Take another drink if someone complains about it again nonetheless.
- Take another drink if you feel that the question is an important one worth answering, and that the MST 3 K Mantra feels like a way of avoiding serious discussion.
- Put that drink back if the MST 3 Kmantra is just there to move said lengthy discussion to the Just Bugs Me section.
- Alternatively, slam the drink on your head if you think that justifies complaining about not doing the research on series that don't claim to be accurate.
- Take a sip and then slam your head on the nearest hard, flat surface every time a Pot Hole gets broken up into multiple identical instances of the same link by an italicized word in the middle of it
- Take a sip while leaning to the right for every example (especially on Crowning Moments) where the second half is written in italics to emphasise how amazing this example is.
- Take a sip for every unexplained in-joke potholed to Memetic Mutation.
- Smash the bottle over your head afterwards.
- Take a sip if someone complains about not doing the research... on a series that is completely meant to be non-serious. It is guaranteed you will not survive within the hour.

- Down a swig of hot chocolate if a Crowning Moment Of Heart Warming Troper Tale talks about someone in the third person ends with "Oh and by the way? That guy/girl was me!" or any variant.
- If you actually care or your heart is warmed, go kill yourself. Don't worry; you'll be fine.
- Take a shot every time you go to a page where spoilers are a foregone conclusion, such as virtually all death tropes, yet someone still puts up spoiler tags. Take another if a majority of the page is like this and looks like a declassified government document.
- Take a drink whenever someone *coughcoughs*.
- Take a drink every time somebody links to a Youtube video which has since been removed from the site.
- Take a drink every time someone potholes a mention of Catholicism to Christianity Is Catholic, even when it's not an example of the trope.
- Take a sip when someone Pot Holes a word that doesn't relate to their example or the article, but, like, to what they were saying/how they said something.
- Take two sips if the Pot Hole is to a different series which has nothing to do with the matter at hand, but they just felt like Entry Pimping, mmkay?
- Take a drink every time xkcd 609 is mentioned/linked to. Including now.

Take a bottle every time someone breaks the article formatting.
- Take a drink every time the trope separators alternates between colon [:], parentheses [ () ] or a strike [-].
- Take two sips every time you read the same example twice because somebody was clearly so convinced they had a perfect example that they didn't bother to read the page before "adding" it. Bonus sip if the example is mentioned in contradictory terms — as a straight example and then as a subversion, for example. Then, y'know, delete the duplicate.
- Take a sip every time there's a link to the old version of 8-Bit Theater's archive. Don't bother fixing it, it'd take too long.

- If you give up on understanding the explanation of a trope at the top of the page and just scroll down to the first example you recognize, drink for as long as you scroll.

- Take a shot when you see an example on a series page that has been blatantly copy/pasted from its trope page, or vice-versa.

- Take a drink whenever you come across "Bonus points" and "double points".
- Finish the current bottle then open another if an example has very little or nothing to do with the trope and is only there as an excuse to sneer at the fans of the example's subject matter.
- Take another long pull if the example IS valid, but the editor still can't resist getting in a dig at the fan base.

- Or if it's about Egregious Heterodyne.
- Take three if an egregious pothole is how you initially found this page.
- Take four drinks if the example is particularly egregious
- Take two if the editor has in fact simply double-braced the word egregious.
- Note: For those with stomachs of steel or a death wish, try the Guide Dang It page. Twelve "egregious"es, all potholed, six of which are "particularly" egregious. That's...30 drinks. Good luck.
- Running Gag is worse. This Troper prides himself on (almost) singlehandedly spelling a surefire path to painful death by cirrhosis,
- Not to mention this very page, which is becoming an egregious example of "egregious" itself, with eight examples so far. Egregious egregious egregious egregious egregious.
- Finish off the bottle if you can still spell "egregious" by this point.

- Down the bottle if the snarker has a valid complaint.
- When reading through an Alternate Character Interpretation of the comic, take a shot every time Dominic is referred to as "Lord Domenuce". Place bets on what comes first — alcohol poisoning or the ACI becoming entertaining.
- Take a shot, of all measures, for an example, of all examples, notes that something was done by a character, of all people.
- Take a sip everytime 4 * or more used at the start.
- Take 2 if at least one part of the chain does not need an added *
- Just in case you failed an attempt at assassinating a politician and need an internet-worthy (not to mention nerdy) way to die, and can still count, count all of the tabs in your web browser you've opened up as a result of your reading a page, and have a shot for each one.
- Down the rest of the bottle if someone writes down a battle cry from Warhammer 40000, then it shout out.
- Take a drink if the page image for an article is from an anime or manga. Then take another if you've never heard of it (if it doesn't say what it's from in the caption, the image or the caption will probably link to the article describing the anime or manga. In fact, you should take another drink if this is the case).

- On that same idea, take a sip for every positive Jay Leno mention.

- Every time someone does it right? It is supposed to look like that: When you type Candlejack, you do not usually finish second sentence. If you do not finish the first sentence you are doing it wr

Badass (or Wannabe Badass) Edition:
- Take a drink whenever you feel like it. Excuses are for sissies!
- Every time you take a drink, you gotta take a drink!
Teetotaller's Edition:

- Take a sip when you see an example of the pages this troper made:
Not too bad, yet not too good examples
- Take a sip when House Of Leaves is mentioned, and the word "house" is in blue (not recomended to take along with the first one listed, other wise it's "take a sip when ever house of leaves is metioned. Ever.)
- Take a sip when you see Great Pikmin Fan, or any pot holes to great pikmin fan.
- Take a drink if one minor character is an example of a trope by themselfs.
- Take a sip if you see a link to a cut aricle.
Your liver will fail if you do more than one of these at a time examples
- Take a drink every time the Ed Edd N Eddy movie is mentioned, and a plot point, important or not, is spoiled. Like the "spoiler" that nobody dies.
- Take a sip when you find an Edit War.
- Take a sip if someone links to example less article (unwinnable doesn't count, every thing is covered by the sub-tropes, yet Did Not Do The Research does not, so it counts.)
- Take a sip for every non-example you find.
- Take a sip if you see a red link. (Good luck with List Of Shows That Need Summary or, while not as bad, All Red Entry.)

NOT ADVISED WHILE READING THIS Kill yourself with alcohol overdose (or not...) when ever you read about The Game or Drew Pickles. As for the later, seeing "Drew" is fine, as long as it isn't listed as an example of rugrats, and if rugrats isn't spoiled. Or you don't read what show it is. if you see "Drew" and it is potholed, roll over it. if it links to rugrats, your screwed.
Statler: Think we should tell them to take a sip for every stinger they find in an article too? Waldorf: Aww, they should just chug till they drop at this point. They're as wasted as their lives by now anyways! Both: Ohohohohohohoho!
... I Need A Freaking Drink...
