Christmas Vacation Drinking Game

Give out two drinks before the game starts if you know how long ago Grace died.

Take One Drink

  • Clark gets called "Sparky"
  • Rusty gets called "Russ"

When you hear these quotes:

  • “Surprised, Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.”
  • "We’re gonna have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas."

Take Two Drinks

  • If anyone brings up "the pool"
  • If Clark's bonus is discussed.
  • If Clark is working on his Christmas Lights
  • If one of the kids corrects Clark or calls him out on something he is saying or doing wrong

Take Three Drinks

  • When Clark hits on Mary the mall girl
  • When Julia Louis-Dreyfus first appears
  • When you hear the song "Mele Kalikimaka"
  • Whenever there is a mishap with an animal

Take Four Drinks

  • "Shitter was full"
  • When he sleds using the non-nutritive cereal varnish

Finish Your Drink

  • When the lights go on

Social

  • When Clark gets stuck in the attic and watches old films.
  • When you realize neither kid was wearing a seatbelt when the old Ford Escort Wagon takes a ride off the snowbank

Waterfall

  • During the "pledge of allegiance"
  • During Clark rant of, "Hey! If any of you are looking for any last-minute gift ideas for me, I have one. I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the other rich people, and I want him brought right here! With a big ribbon on his head! And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?"
