open/close all folders
Regular Edition:
General
- Take a shot for every Averted Trope you find.
- Down half a Guinness whenever the wiki spoils something you were already viewing/playing/reading/learning on your own and didn't want to know before it was the due time.
- Finish the Guinness and spoiler mark the offending entry if it gets treated like an It Was His Sled.
- Take a six-pack when you see a brand new example on the top of the page.
- So that's 2 six packs so far.
- Let's turn this into a Running Gag and keep count below.
- Right here.
- Do note that the reason that this hasn't been updated for several weeks is because troper # 2 died from the sheer volumes of their beer intake on that fateful night.
- Take a hearty swig every time you can guess the trope that an example links to
- 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.
- Three if you do.
- Four if you do and it's wrong.
- Five if somebody else elaborates while subtly snarking at the original edit's lack of context.
- Back to three if they don't subtly snark.
- Take a sip for every trope page with a header quote from:
- 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".
- Take a sip for every example that starts with "parodied" and reads exactly like a straight use of the trope.
- 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".
- Or "wonderfully" or "brilliantly," and another sip if the example is actually completely ordinary.
- Take an extra sip for "subverted hard." If "hard" isn't in italics, you don't even need to bother.
- (Take a swig when you see an explanation written in parentheses by an inexperienced troper.)
- Take two if you used to do it.
- Take three if reading this taught you that putting explanations in parentheses is improper.
- Down a glass if the entire page is written like this.
- 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 another if you take issue with calling Lamp Shading "an attempt to hide" a trope.
- 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.
- Two sips if that person is your employer. Then quick link to Oh Crap.
- 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 big gulp whenever the Red Shirt Army is mentioned in a trope example scenario.
- And another if the Big Bad is mentioned.
- 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, 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.
- 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.
- And once more if you know "The Maple Leaf Forever."
- 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.
- Or, alternatively, feel free to belt out "YOU'RE A..." [large sip] "...GRAND OLD..." [gulp] "...RAG, YOU'RE A..." [slurp] "...HIGH-FLYING..." [swig] "RAAAAAAAAAAG~" if it happens more than twice for British spelling. Whether you're British or not.
- Take a sip every time somebody edits just to change American spelling/punctuation to British or vice versa.
- Take a sip every time an example is given without a link.
- 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).
- Take another sip if the troper in question gives their name or links to their contributor page.
- 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.
- Or if the original troper is just saying that the trope has happened to him, and doesn't even have an anecdote.
- This Troper had to take a drink there. Just sayin'
- 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 drink every time a page lists Crowning Music of Awesome on a given page with some variation of the phrase "the whole soundtrack."
- 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.
- 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 take a drink for each example that consists of "<something>. That is all."
- Also take a drink for each example that consists of "<something>. Nuff Said."
- Also take a drink for each example that consists of "<something>. There, I said it."
- Also drink for "X has this in spades". Two Drinks if there's nothing else there.
- Also drink for "X is the king of this trope". Three if it's "the undisputed king of this trope".
- Also drink for "X is made of this trope".
- Also drink for "X breathes 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.
- Take a drink for an example that consists of "<something>, anyone?", anyone?
- 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 sip if the example says "Full stop" or "Nuff said" ...but then still continues on after that with an explanation anyway. (Doesn't count if it's a sub-point that starts with something like "For the benefit of those not familiar, we'll explain it anyway..." Though, in truth, this probably also deserves a sip.)
- Drain your entire glass if This Troper writes "Said X (was totally Y!)".
- Take a drink if you started getting confused by the game right about here.
- 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 two if it does this, but with a rather short list.
- Take a gulp if anything is described as "the poster child for this trope."
- 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.
- If you feel like going to the hospital, this page will certainly help.
- Drain the whole glass if it's something you actually have seen.
- Take a sip if you had to uncover this to read it. *
That's a free pass, by the way.
- Chug if the spoilered thing is something that people who've never even seen the work in question knows. The site's various running gags (such as hiding the fact that Jesus dies in spoiler tags) are optional.
- Like fucking solitaire?
- The cake is a lie.
- 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!
- Bonus round if the spoiler is tagged but you were editing the page and saw it anyway.
- 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 Japanese Something Tropes or Anime Tropes) even though its list of Western examples is as long or longer than the list of anime examples.
- Take two sips if "Supernatural"" is one of the examples listed and then send the link to anyone who wants to know why it's getting turned into an anime.
- 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 sip for every image with a time display in the upper left corner (e.g., if it came out of a fansub derived from a Japanese TV broadcast).
- Take a glass everytime a page image has no link.
- Take a BIG drink everytime a picture leads to a broken link.
- Take a swig whenever the image is completely meaningless to you.
- Take a chug whenever an image has a DivX watermark in the corner.
- 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.
- Drink yourself into unconsciousness if the "no hotlinking" image is a Shock Site.
- 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 chug if a page contains more than one image.
- Take a sip for every time I Am Not Making This Up or its brother "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer is invoked, and an extra one if the description of the I Am Not Making This Up-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).
- A bigger one if it's Pot Hole'd to Deader than Disco.
- 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 a drink for every phrase potholed to Completely Missing the Point.
- Take two sips every time something is called a Narm even though it doesn't actually make the scene funny.
- Take five sips when the laughs were supposed to be intentional.
- Drink the whole glass one sip at a time if somebody potholes every single lettEr of a word.
- 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 & Droids.
- Take three sips if the example specifically mentions that the commentary does not link to TV Tropes.
- Take a sip if a The Order of the Stick or xkcd example refers to a strip less than three hours old.
- Take another sip if you were about to add it yourself.
- Take two more 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
- Finish another glass if you can't figure out which strip is referred to even with an Archive Trawl
- Finish yet another glass if you did an Archive Trawl and then forgot why you were doing it in the first place (once you remember).
- Triple the intake if an example not from either refers to something that happened less than one day ago.
- Quintuple the intake if the strip is based on a current event.
- Take a sip if a Warhammer 40,000 example is described as taking the trope to "extremes", "ridiculous levels" or Up to Eleven.
- 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 drink of the first drink to pop into your head whenever someone links to this page.
- 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 MST3K 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 MST3K Mantra feels like a way of avoiding serious discussion.
- Put that drink back if the MST3K Mantra is just there to move said lengthy discussion to the Headscratchers 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 emphasize how amazing this example is.
- Take a sip for every unexplained in-joke potholed to Memetic Mutation.
- Take a chug every time a troper's comment is Pot Holed to Incredibly Lame Pun.
- 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.
- Take a sip whenever someone confuses Character Derailment with Flanderization.
- Take a drink whenever you see "Hello. My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You Killed My Father. Prepare to Die."
- Dunk your head in hot and cold water until you're sober if it's not all blue.
- Take a swig of a completely different drink if the Trope Namer isn't an example of the trope.
- 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.
- 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*.
- Raise your glass to your mouth and then put it down in disappointment every time somebody links to a Youtube video which has since been removed from the site.
- Drink it anyway if it is there, though, and if you look through the comments, take another drink if you see one from someone else mentioning that they got there from TV Tropes.
- Or capitalizes the trope they got linked from and ends it with a bunch of exclamation marks.
- Or the comment asks for a thumbs up from everyone reading it who also got there from TV Tropes (in other words, the comment is worded as "thumbs up if TV Tropes sent you here").
- And to top it off, a sip for every thumb up. Call the ambulance before you start, though.
- 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.
- A glass if it is an 'XKCD' cartoon. A bottle if it is 'Xkcd'.
- A drink if it's "xkcd", maybe.
- Take a picture of yourself taking a swig and send it in a thank-you card to Randall Munroe if #609 was the reason you discovered TV Tropes in the first place.
Take a bottle every time someone breaks the article formatting.
- Take a sip for every suggested trope that turns out to already exist.

- Drain the glass if the suggested title contains the words "crowning", "moment", "awesome", "Screw X, I X", "badass" or "trope".
- Take a sip for every initial post which lists at least one Real Life example in violation of the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment.
- Down a 40 and smack someone upside the head if the OP bumps their own page more than 3 times without adding new examples.
Wild Mass Guessing
- Take a sip every time someone links a series to Neon Genesis Evangelion.
- Take two sips if they theorize that the other series occurs within Instrumentality.
- Take a sip every time someone identifies a character as a Time Lord.
- Two sips if the reasoning is "Character X is a Time Lord because every series needs a Time Lord."
- Three sips if there is absolutely no reason for them to think someone is a Time Lord, e.g. the series doesn't involve Time Travel.
- And another if they then continue 'and X is their TARDIS'.
- Finish the bottle if the person exists in real life. Example: Stephen Colbert is a Time Lord.
- Start on another one if they cite or Pot Hole Trope Law 14 or this very page as their reasons for the guess.
- Take a gulp for every link to Mahou Sensei Negima!.
- Down three mouthfulls for every time the link doesn't take you to fanservice or fetish fuel.

- Take a sip every time someone links two or more characters played by the same actor.
- Take a sip if a theory out-and-out contradicts the rules and/or established facts of the story's universe (ie: "replicants are brainwashed humans" in the Blade Runner entry.)
- Take a shot if, despite it defying the established laws, it makes better sense and/or works better than the canon version.
- Take a shot every time it turns out that someone never wanted to be an X anyway... they wanted to be... A LUMBERJACK!
- Take two shots if they never wanted to be a lumberjack anyway. They wanted to be... AN X!
- Finish your drink every time you see a plausible and convincing theory connecting two series.
- Take a sip for every occurrence of the sentence, "Think about it."
- While sober, find a batshit insane theory that you'd have to be drunk to believe. When drunk, find that theory and see if it does make sense. If not, keep drinking until it does (or you pass out, whichever comes first).
- Take a shot whenever a theory is "X is dead."
- Take a shot whenever a WMG is just a casting gag the troper would like to see.

Headscratchers
Discussion

- Take a sip every time a specific scene is suggested in Image Picking without any actual image because "it's a good example of this trope". Take the shot if there are several images of the suggested scene as the first results of a google image search.
Special Editions
Your Liver Is Currently Dialing Dr. Kevorkian's Number Edition:
- Take a sip every time you see the word 'trope'.
- Another sip if it's a similar word ('troper', 'tropes', etc).
- Take a drink every time you see the word "egregious" (currently appears on
609 735 775 787 815 959 1132 1269 1439 articles).
- Two drinks if "egregious" is potholed into TV Tropes Wiki Drinking Game.
- 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. Now there's 16 "egregious'es" on that page.
- 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 egregious.
- Damn you! * hic*
- Finish off the bottle if you can still spell "egregious" by this point.
- We apologize that "egregious" now no longer looks like a word.
- If the overuse of the word egregious seems like a Dead Unicorn Trope because every time you see it, it's potholed to Egregious or TV Tropes Wiki Drinking Game, finish whatever you're drinking.
- Drain two glasses if "egregious" is potholed to a different page.
- Lastly, take one extra drink every time it's mispronounced/misspelled "egregrious", or variations thereof.
- Take a drink for every example from a Trope Overdosed series.
- Take a drink for every mention of one of the Tropes of Legend.
- Take a drink for every use of a Prededefined Message in YKTTW.
- Take a drink for every snowcloned trope title.
- Take a drink every time a trope is declared one of The Oldest Ones in the Book (or one of the subtropes).
- Take a sip for every example listed on the Magnificent Bastard page. (That would, at 630 examples as of March 2012, give you liver failure by itself, if you're lucky....)
- Count all the linked-to tropes on a page, then take that many sips.
- Two sips for each numerical discrepancy in the number of tropes counted (good for late in the game).
- Take another sip every time an example is "obligatory".
- Take a large sip for the phrase "Pick a [X]. Any [X]."
- Take a sip every time an article potholes to itself.
- Take a sip every time the character string "fuck" appears on a page.
- Take a drink whenever someone snarks at a Dominic Deegan example.
- Take two drinks if it's not the actual Dominic Deegan page or one of its related pages (WMG, JBM, etc)
- 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 *
- Take 3 if every part of the chain doesn't need it, like now.
- Finish the rest of your bottle if this is exaggerated to ridiculous extremes.
- 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 40,000, then shout it 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). Take a third drink if it's not a link.
- Take a drink every time you see the word "titular" misused.
- Take a sip every time you see the phrase "oddly enough."
- Take a drink for every mention of a Dead Unicorn Trope.
- Take a drink for every aversion of a trope that is not listed on the page.
Celebrity Edition
- Take a sip every time BRIAN BLESSED is mentioned.
- Drain the whole glass if he isn't referred to in all-caps.

- And everytime you take a drink, you gotta take a drink!
Teetotaller's Edition:

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.
Haseo Natsume's Edition
- Instead of drinking every time Mystical Waif is mentioned, look up to the heavens, pray for the blessing of the Grail, anoint yourself with the libation, in the manner you are accustomed to (Sign of the Cross if you're Catholic/Orthodox, for example,) while thinking of your favorite Mystical Waif, and finally order out for a pizza.
- When Arc Words are mentioned, take a sip, and then repeat the words, or if it is simply the trope itself mentioned, repeat the ones you like most.
- Take a sip of sacramental wine every time Christianity is Catholic is played straight.
- Drink half a glass of your favorite non-alcoholic beverage every time you see Frothy Mugs of Water.
- Do NOT drink if you see a top page quote by one of the most usual page quote sources, otherwise you'll be drinking all night and forget to play the game properly.
- If you've completed all the previous challenges up to this point without passing out in a pool of vomit, try the Ultimate TV Tropes Drinking Challenge (TM): Take a sip for every internal link you see. Yes, EVERY link, including the sidebar menu on the left and the Indexes at the bottom of the page. Afterwords, follow some of those links to their pages. Lather, rinse, repeat.
- For a ridiculous off-the-wall challenge, include red links and external links.
- If you are still conscious at this point, switch out the "sips" for "shots of brandy."
- NOTE: There may not be enough brandy in the world to complete the above challenge. If you run out a brandy, any form of alcohol will do. If you must, use hand sanitizer. It's not like you have your health to worry about, right?
- If you haven't died of alcohol poisoning from the above challenges yet, you haven't followed any of the links. If you claim you have, you are probably either lying or not on TV Tropes. Or any other wiki, for that matter.
- For those with a scroll wheel on their mouse, go for a 2-hour browsing session of TV Tropes where you are encouraged to open new tabs, but you are not allowed to close them. After the session, drink a bottle of your choice for every tab that you've opened.
... I Need a Freaking Drink...
- Finish off any drinks on hand if you entered the page thinking/saying something like this.
- Then take an Advil and a glass or two of water if you're not sober yet. Trust me, you need that water.
