Cash Cab – The Drinking Game
I woke up this morning (after spending this week drinking heavily between Montreal, QC and Burlington, VT) to stumble upon the greatest drinking game EVER – based off of my favorite game show Cash Cab!
For those without cable, or access to surfthechannel.com, Cash Cab is a Discovery Channel game where comedian Ben Bailey picks up unsuspecting NYC residents and tourists in his Toyota Sienna Yellow Cab and challenges them to three rounds of hard hitting questions. In exchange, contestants receive not only a free ride, but also the chance to win upwards of $3000 or more. If they answer three questions wrong it’s to the curb with them! No cash and no cab.
But enough of this palaver – let’s get the show on the road! Enjoy the Cash Cab Drinking Game, courtesy of (the unfortunately named) BroBible.com:
Drink Once When…
- Ben Bailey tries to use his really bad New York Italian accent when the contestants get in the car.
- Contestants seem disappointed to be on the show when the lights come on but continue anyway.
- You see the big gray van pull up behind the Cash Cab (I think it’s the production truck, but it gets in the shot all the time).
- A question references New York City.
- The person in the backseat answers a question correctly.
- A contestant fails to answer correctly after using a “Street Shoutout.”
Drink Twice When…
- The contestants fail a Red Light Challenge.
- Ben tries to convince the contestants that their answer is wrong when it is actually correct (this should happen at least twice a show).
- Contestants get thrown out on the street for getting three strikes.
- They do not answer the question correctly after a mobile shoutout.
- You see a Duane Reade or Ray’s Pizza along the taxi’s route.
- The camera focuses on a hot girl on the street.
- Contestants know about the show already.
- Contestants are clearly tourists.
Finish Your Beer When…
- Contestants lose the double or nothing video bonus question.
- Contestants don’t even answer one question correctly.
- Contestants disregard one friend’s correct answer and opt for another’s incorrect one
- They win more than $3,000.
hilarious! we have a drinking game for Cash Cab also, but with less demanding rules….We drink at all Red Light Challenges, and we drink when Ben says “Oh, No…..” at a wrong answer….We love the show, and actually do reasonably well on the trivia questions…
AWESOME
