*passes out after 30 seconds -- 35 shots*

Haha, good stuff!

Yikes, that's a harsh game. I advise you to play this with LITE beer, or else you'll pass out before each week's "shocking" twist.

25. Jack Bauer yells, "Who are you working for?!?" (1 Drink)
26. A character has the same conversation he had less than 30 minutes ago in "<i>24</i> Time." (1 Drink) It's the same episode. (2 Drinks)
27. Someone says, "Transfer it to my console." (Everyone designates someone else to take 1 Drink)
28. Someone pulls up a remote, obscure, and live camera feed. (1 Drink)
29. Someone on Palmer's staff says, "I'm not Sherry." (1 Drink)

#17 hasn't been used too much this season.

Hey Groucho, what happened to your name?

My original name was repossessed by the IRS.

How many drinks is that?

5/17 is my anniversary. Nice choice :)

I'm jealous. I've been wanting Jeremy517 for a while, but alas I have too many posts to change.

Gee, your liver smells terrific!

This game shouldn't stop at the end of the episode, there's still a little more drinking to be done:

31. President tries to sell you insurance (1 drink) or Jack tries to sell you a truck (2 drinks slowly, it'll be a while).
32. An unexpected, unwanted Fox promo ruins a major plot point twist in the next episode (1 drink)


Y'know someone should really keep score tomorrow night. I'm pretty curious now.

:lol: kenbuzz should start compiling all these for tomorrow...

My additions

* A Ford vehicle is prominently displayed (1 drink)
* Control of CTU changes hands (1 drink)
* Someone at CTU waits for a fellow CTU member to leave their work station so they can get on their computer or some other sneaky thing without their knowledge (1 drink)
* Someone on the CTU main floor does something sneaky while keeping an eye on the CTU "God office" upstairs (1 drink)

*An ex-lover/girlfriend/wife appears during an episode and causes trouble to their ex-lover/boyfriend/husband (and vice-versa) - 2 drinks
*Tony and Michelle have any kind of husband/wife moment, including looks, touches, kissing, hugging, or any other type of PDA - 2 drinks
* If it happens more than once in the same episode - 1 drink per PDA offense.
* Any major female character shows any type of "forbidden fruit" (for example, Kim's nip-nips last season) - 1 drink per "fruit"

:lol: this is too much.

Just like the other two seasons. Hmm, maybe they think the audience enjoys Kim's stupidity.

I've gone ahead and appended everyone's suggestions. They're all pretty good.

the same conversation thing happens at least 2 or 3 times per episode. like last week, when that guy killed himself in front of anne, she told the same story about 3 or 4 times in about a half an hour.

This is Chase's job now.

If a character crashes a car intentionally, 1 drink.

Each time Jack Bauer is referred to by his full name (1 drink).

It's gotta be 5-6 times an episode. Isn't Jack or Bauer enough?

Any public service announcement after the show (a la the recent gun safety PSA): chug entire beer/drink

best thread in a long time! (and I love the show)

One more:

If a recognizable B-Movie star appears on screen - 1 Drink
If a former A-list movie star that's been regulated to B-List status appears on screen - 3 Drinks of sorrow
Someone recognizable from any TV show - 1 Drink
- If that person is involved with any Joss Whedon show - 2 Drinks.

if a plot is stolen/very similar to another tv show 2 drinks. (the early season 3 drug plot was very similar to a drug plot in early season 2 of alias.
