Blues Brothers Drinking Game

Simple.  (and it works for either movie.)  Pull the movie down off the shelf and throw it in the VCR.  (Or go out and rent it if for some reason you don't already own it.)  Then, take a sip, gulp, swig (whatever) of your beverage whenever a car crashes.  Take a couple of drinks when you quote lines from the movie or say the dialog along with the characters.  (the '106 mile' rule)

Finish what you are drinking if you ever question the logic of the movie.
i.e.  "Why are they wearing sunglasses when it's dark?"
"Why do the police want to arrest them so bad?"
"Who called in the national guard?"
"Where did Carrie Fisher get the assault rifle?"
"Assault rifle?  Hell, where did she get the rocket launcher?"
 

Bill and Ted's Most Excellent Drinking Game

First, find a copy of either movie.  The Excellent Adventure is preferred if you can show only one movie, but our personal recommendation is to get both the Adventure and the Bogus Journey, and show them back to back.

Then all you have to do is drink when...

• Bill or Ted says "Excellent".
• Bill and Ted do the air guitar riff.
• Bill and Ted meet themselves (or their evil robot counterparts).
• George Carlin makes an appearance.  Everyone playing the game should shout "Rufus!" and take a swig.

The rules above are easy to remember, even when you are so, um, tired no one can operate the VCR.  However, for a more intense experience try a few of these optional rules.

Drink when...

• Bill or Ted say "dude".
• Bill and Ted are separated.  That is to say, when Bill and Ted split up for the purposes of the Plot[sic] and go do different things.
• The phone booth shoots sparks and falls through the floor.
• More than three people are crammed into the phone booth at a time.
• Anyone is speaking some language other than English.
• A noted historical figure uses words like "excellent" or "dude".
• Someone mentions the Alaskan Military Academy.
• Anyone says "station", and they aren't referring to the character of the same name.
• Death first makes an appearance.  Similar to the Rufus rule above, everyone should shout "Death!" and take a drink.

• Bill or Ted says "most excellent" instead of just plain old "excellent"
• Rufus says "excellent"
• Bill or Ted uses the grammatically incorrect word "uses".  (two syllables, US-es, as in the phrase "those evil robot uses")
• Bill and Ted say something in unison.
• Count along with me:  Bill and Ted say "excellent" in unison and immediately follow up with the air guitar riff:  1 + 2 + 1 = 4 drinks.

2001 update:  Maybe you saw it in theaters, maybe not.  Someone made a movie called "Dude, Where's My Car".  A better title might have been "Bill and Ted's Heinous Hangover".  (Yeah, I know, they would never be able to get Keanu back... but moving on...)  "Dude, Where's My Car" will soon be coming out on video (if it isn't out already) allowing us to do a triple threat:  Excellent Adventure, Bogus Journey, and Heinous Hangover.  Fortunately, the worst movie comes last, after you're so, um, tired you won't care as much.

New rules for the "Heinous Hangover":  Drink when...

• Someone says "Dude".
• Someone say "Sweet".
• Anyone mentions the "continuum transfunctioner."
• Anyone mistakenly calls something that isn't a llama a llama.
• George Carlin make an appearance.  If you see Rufus in this movie, take one last swig and stop drinking -- you've had enough.
