History DrinkingGame / NCIS

* Take a drink whenever one of Gibbs' rules is mentioned. Take two if it's because someone broke said rule.

* Take a drink when our heroes announce themselves as federal agents and someone either runs away or attacks them.

* Take a shot every time Gibbs gets impatient with any long-winded chatter from Ducky or Abby.

* Take a shot every time someone calls Director Vance by his first name, Leon. Take another shot if the character doing so is not Gibbs or Abby.

* On the DVD commentary for "Twilight," Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, and John C. Kelley direct the audience to "take a drink of your favorite beverage every time someone dies or almost dies."

* You could get quite drunk if you took a drink for every [[DopeSlap Gibbs Slap]], [=McGee=] gets a new name from [=DiNozzo=], a main character is in immediate danger, or if you see a gun (which is not always the same as the immediate danger).

* Take a mouthful every time Jimmy Palmer makes a joke at the exact wrong time. Or, really, any time he puts his foot in his mouth in general.

* Take a drink whenever the first sound after a commercial break/opening credits is the ding of the elevator. (Seriously, they do this ''all the time''.

* Take a shot every time a movie reference is made. Take two if the character making the reference is not Tony.

** Concerning the Gibbs Slap: drink twice for every one that's ''not'' borne of annoyance, or that's actually plot-relevant.[[hottip:*:Such as the time when Ziva used Gibbs' hand to Gibbs Slap ''herself'' as a way to restore his memory.]] Drink a whole bottle when Gibbs either has someone do it to him, or he does it to himself.

* Take a sip whenever Ducky holds conversations with a corpse. Any more than that will give you liver damage.

* You could get quite drunk if you took a drink for every GibbsSlap, [=McGee=] gets a new name from [=DiNozzo=], a main character is in immediate danger, or if you see a gun (which is not always the same as the immediate danger).

** Better yet: take one every time Ziva doesn't understand some form of Western culture. Or when Gibbs is tech-illiterate

* Take a shot or two if the show opens with somebody stumbling on a dead body (in a [[BlackHumor humorous sort of way]]), followed by random chatter in the bullpen that sets up that episode's comedic subplot(s).

* Take a shot every time Ziva teases [=DiNozzo=] in a ''[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean highly suggestive]]'' manner, [=McGee=]'s technical explanation is interrupted by someone, and when Ducky's mother appears or is mentioned. Drink when someone asks how he gets the boat out of the basement. (For those not using alcohol, drink when Ducky says "This reminds me of...", don't do this if you use proper drinks.)
