- Take a shot every time somebody:
- starts going out with someone.
- breaks up with someone.
- has sex.
- gets married.
- has a baby.
- Take a shot every time Chandler makes a joke.
- Two if it involves sarcasm.
- Three if Joey doesn't get it.
- Finish your drink if it's a self deprecating remark.
- Take a shot when characters say their best-known catchphrases:
- Monica excitedly says "I know!"
- Rachel says an elongated "Noooooooooo" in a low/gravelly voice.
- Ross references that he and Rachel were on a break.
- Chandler says some variant of "Could X be any more Y" (although he actually doesn't do this much).
- Or if another character uses this to do an impression of Chandler (which actually happens just as often).
- Joey says "How you doin'".
- Phoebe uses her distinctive way of saying "Oh no".
- Phoebe uses the fake name "Regina Phalange".
- Whenever Joey and others find out something at the same time, and the others react immediately but Joey does not, start drinking. Keep going until Joey finally puts 2 and 2 together and reacts.
- Take a shot every time Joey tries to flirt with a girl. Two if he succeeds.
- Take a shot every time Monica freaks out about something not being clean/being in the wrong place.
- Take a shot whenever Gunther pines for Rachel.
- If there's a big secret, take a shot whenever someone finds out.
- Take a shot whenever you can see someone's nipple protrusions in their shirt. Two if they're Rachel's.
- Take a shot when Phoebe sings. Make it two if it's "Smelly Cat"
- Three drinks when Janice comes in unannounced and says "OH! MY!!! GOD!!!!!", one with each word.
- Drink whenever Joey plays a role in something truly awful.
An alternative, simpler game:
- Drink every time the audience makes a noise. Laugh track, "Oooooh" etc.
