Drinking Game / Gotham

Go To

If you're watching Gotham and have a superhuman liver, take a shot each time:

  • Bruce is kidnapped.
  • You need subtitles to understand Alfred.
  • Selina steals something.
    • Another drink if Gordon, Alfred or Bruce immediately makes her put it back.
  • Selina escapes someone's custody.
  • GCPD is raided by a villain or criminal.
    • Whenever a frontal assault on the GCPD is successful, take another drink.
    • If the Penguin or another villain Lampshades how easily criminals keep pulling this off, finish your drink.
  • There's an obvious reference to a character's (typically a villain's) future.
    • If the character in question openly likes the reference, make it a double.
  • Someone breaks into Wayne Manor.
    • If said someone ambushes Bruce or Alfred from the shadows, make it a double.
  • Alfred is stabbed.
  • A criminal or criminals is shown participating in wanton violence.
    • Double if said violence is directed at a cop.
  • Gordon (or any other cop) begins a speech to the other police officers with "Listen up!"
  • Gordon (or any other cop) shouts "GCPD" upon entering a room.
  • A newly-captured suspect escapes police custody/prison/Arkham, or is busted out by another party.
    • If they are captured, but escape/get busted out before the subsequent commercial break, make it a double.
  • The Penguin veers off-topic into philosophical musing.
    • If he "muses philosophically" simply as a lead-in to killing somebody or having them shot, take a double shot.
  • Nygma talks to himself.
    • If Nygma chews himself out for a mistake, take a double shot. Yes, his alter-ego taunting his nerdy side counts.
  • Selina says something rude enough to make you want to strangle her.
    • If Galavan says something arrogant enough to make you want to shove another umbrella down his throat, take a double shot.
  • Lee mentions Gordon killing Mario.
    • Take another if it's accompanied by another cryptic threat.
  • Alfred hangs a Lampshade.
    • When Alfred snarks, take a sip. A full shot would have you on the floor before the episode is over.
  • Alfred calls someone "mate".
  • Someone uses a French phrase.
  • Oswald calls someone "friend" or "old friend".
  • Someone calls Gordon "Jimbo".
  • Someone says "You're Insane!" or a variety of the phrase.
  • There's a kiss.
  • Gordon meets Barbara at her club.
  • Penguin shows up at the GCPD.
    • Double if he brought armed men with him.
  • Bruce hugs someone.
  • A medication or drug is mentioned (e.g. thorazine, midazolam, etc).
  • A character lampshades Gotham's status as a Wretched Hive/Vice City with the words "It's Gotham", "This is Gotham", or something similar.
  • Alfred gets into a fight.
  • Someone comes back from the dead.
  • Something violent happens to someone's hand.
  • Jerome's tone or topic of conversation shifts in mid-monologue, sniff your drink. Actually ingesting alcohol every time this happens would be fatal.
  • Someone answers one of Nygma's riddles.
    • If someone asks Nygma a riddle, make it a double.
  • A character mentions that ten years have passed in the series finale episode "The Beginning...".
  • The Penguin throws a fit, or seems on the verge of a mental breakdown. Be careful with this one.
    • Take two if he throws a fit because of Ed. The dog counts too.
  • Someone makes a deal to get out of being murdered.
  • A criminal kills one of their allies.
