In the tradition of Mel Brooks, a spinoff on the Star Wars
Drinking Game known as...

---[ Spaceballs The Drinking Game ]---

To play the Spaceballs Drinking Game you will need:
  1. A copy of Spaceballs on tape
  2. An ample supply of your favorite beverage
    (beer, orange soda, whatever)
  3. A big-screen TV so you can see all the tiny
    gags you'd miss otherwise (optional but funky)

Rules:

  1. The game begins when the word SPACEBALLS is first legible at the
    start of the movie and ends when MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOU
    appears at the end.
  2. Once the game has begun, watch the movie for the listed events. Each
    time an event occurs everyone drinks.
  3. No need to worry about people successfully operating the VCR since
    it's only one tape (if you taped it off the air in such a way that you
    have it on two tapes, you don't need to play the Spaceballs drinking game
    in the first place)

Drink When:
