Beer Pong

[John Galt]

Ok, first off BEER PONG IS FUCKING GAY!

I've been trying to find a T-shirt that says this so I can proudly wear it in a bar.
For one thing, it's a waste of fucking beer and it's a pretty infantile game.

Who fucking wants to keep picking up balls all night. You like grabbing balls? Grab these you fucking assholes!

I have only played it once and that was because two VERY hot chicks asked me to play.

For that reason I can excuse it.

But you want to dirty up some beer and then keep touching a dirty ball all night? And then while I'm playing pool you expect me to pick up your dirty fucking ping pong ball up for you???

FUCK YOU

What the fuck is wrong with you?!?

Play pool, darts, or trivia like any decent person.

[MightyCelestial]

Yeah....!

Methinks someone missed out on a kickass rant about horseshit straight-to-DVD sequels like Road Trip: Beer Pong, ones that have absolutely nothing to do with their preceding films other than the title and a vaguely similar premise. Not to mention how stupid the general public is for eating them up time and again.

Sigh.

In general I don't like things intended to make drinking more fun. I turn into Hank Hill, saying things like, "Dang it. Drinking can already be fun. Why do you need to try and make it more fun?" There's a couple blaring exceptions, but nothing "mainstream" or even probably played outside my home.

That said, I was at some record chain when my wife asked, "Hey, I wonder if those girls come with it." and pointed out to me what might be the most awesome, begging for photoshop work, box artwork ever:

Beer Pong is a frat boy thing.

Anyway, about Road Trip: Beer Pong.....doesn't the title alone pretty much encourage drinking and driving?

You mean like my "Heineken" bottle opener that's also a key chain?

[jdparker]

I like how you call beer pong gay while you discredit it for being infantile.

I really like Beer Pong and drinking games in general. I do like Pool, darts and trivia as well, but at a house party those things aren't always around. I've found that a good drinking game is a great way to include people at a party that might not know as many people.

[Powerslave]

Beer pong is fun. It doesn't go much deeper than that. And it really doesn't warrant a rant. And it is possible for a person to both play beer pong and play darts or pool. These things can be done at different times.

Also, beer pong doesn't have to replace standard drinking, nor does any drinking game. It's simply enjoyable sometimes, especially in party situations.

Though I can't deny the game's questionable cleanliness standards; too often you pick a ball up off some basement floor covered in dust and dirt and dog hair and god knows what else, and the rinse cup is never much consolation. Then again, I've never heard of anyone getting sick because of beer pong. So who knows.

[The Postmaster General]

I like those <insert TV or movie> drinking games where you take a drink if such and such does this or that. To me, that's not really a drinking game though, or to say it doesn't make drinking more fun as much as it makes whatever you are watching more fun. There's also a rumor about a JoBlo Forums Drinking Game that exists, where apparently people take drinks if I only post once in a thread more than a day old, or like if everyone agrees with a particular schmoe you take two drinks. It might have been a dream I had though.

[DaveyJoeG]

Usually if I play beer pong we use the honor system and fill the cups with water. When someone sinks one in a cup of yours, you drink an appropriate amount, that way you don't get your beer dirty and disgusting. But ultimately I prefer not to play beer pong because the more I win the longer I have to stay on the table and the more likely I am to find myself ripping my shirt off and riverdancing in a drunken stupor. I do enjoy the movie drinking games though. I try to invite some friends over once a year during Friday the 13th and play those films while drinking everytime somebody dies, does drugs, has sex, or stumbles onto a cleverly hidden corpse.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not stiff by any means. I'm for all things wild and crazy and whatever enhances our good time; particularly if it involves girls.

But beer pong?

Really? It's not enough that I already know sober about the dumbing down of mankind.

I like those <insert TV or movie> drinking games where you take a drink if such and such does this or that.

Sidenote: One of my favs of that kind is if you take "Roxanne" by The Police and everytime Sting says "Roxeanne", one of you drinks. Whenever he says, "Put on the RED LIGHT", the other one of you drinks.
It's a great way to get caught up with your pals if you're behind in the pacing.

[zombievictim]

From my experience, everyone that hates beer pong either A) suck at it or B) Have only played it a handful of times

Usually A.

The one time I played it, I was a shark.

So I guess.....B?

[echo_bravo]

I was always awful at beer pong. I was always the "weak link" and let my partner down.

BUT I am really really good at Fussball. I beat just about everyone so I got that going for me.

On a side note, Crash Nitro Kart is great to play when you are hammered.

I have a habit of reading posts and not seeing who typed it out. After I read the first post, I had to see who wrote it and I was surprised. Not the usual stuff John Galt writes. Funny and classic!

I have never been one to play drinking games. If I participated it was only to get laid. I take no joy in playing such pointless games. To me, these games are for people who really can't think of anything better to do while drinking with friends. I was never one to get drunk out of my mind either.

I also figured out there was no Santa Claus at age 6.

[jolanar]

Beer pong is just a fun game to drink with.

Some people take it way too seriously though with there stupid rules.

Haha. That'd be a short game. I remember the first drinking game I learned (though didn't play) was "Hi Bob" where you drank every time someone said that on the Bob Newhart show (or was it Newhart?... maybe both...) Then in college, a neighbor who started a war with me, tried to bond by printing out an X-Files drinking game he printed of an alt.something website. I asked him if he wanted to come by and pay it, and he was like, "Oh no, I don't drink." That dude was a weirdo. It was up there when I had earlier lent him an X-File VHS and he borrowed it for weeks until I asked for him back, and in retrieving it, discovered he owned no TV or VCR (or couch, or table, or furniture of any kind...) He met this girl and moved away. I often wonder what happened to that girl.

I think that's about the average age most people find this out.

[Tweek]

The concept of beer pong sounds pointless and ridiculous to me. I haven't played it (don't drink) but it looks like something I wouldn't consider fun.

What do you mean there's no Santa Claus????

Much harder is to Listen to Michael Jackson's Beat It and drink every time MJ sings "Beat It". It's downright impossible.

[labialover]

I used to play beer pong all the time. I was good at it, some would say a legend. But I have played with people who take it entirely too serious. I was always a bigger fan of flip cup. It was more suspenseful, got more people involved.

Another great song to drink to was AC/DC-Thunderstruck. Drink whenever 'thunder' is said.

[jdparker]

Has anyone played this game? We call it sociables, but it may have a few different names.

You take a deck of cards, and each card (suit doesn't matter) represents something else - drink related. Then you take turns choosing cards. Here's a sample deck, but of course the card's can mean different things.

Ace - Take a drink
2 - Take a drink and give a drink.
3 - Take one and give two (you could give two drinks to one person, or one drink to two people)
4 - Take two and give two
5 - Take two and give three
6 - Thumb Master (Like that camp game where one person puts their thumb on the table and then the last person to put it down loses - the person who gets the 6 initiates it)
7 - 7's rule (You count in a circle, each person saying a different number, and every time you come to a number with a 7 in it or a multiple of seven then that person, instead of saying said number, yells "Fuck You" and you change directions)
8 - Never Have I Ever (The person with this card says something like, "Never have I ever seen Evil Dead 2" or "Never Have I ever had sex in the woods" and then anyone whose done it has to drink, including the person who said it)
9 - Categories (The person with this card names a category, eg: Kevin Smith Movies, and you go in a circle and everyone needs to name a Kevin Smith movie, whoever can't name one has to drink)
10 - Make a Rule ( You make up a rule that everyone has to follow for the remainder of the game. Eg, no cursing, or no names, or no pointing. Anytime someone breaks your rule they have to drink)
Jack - Boys Drink
Queen - Girls Drink
King - Kings Cup! ( You get an empty cup and everytime someone gets a King they pour a little bit of their drink into the cup and whoever gets the fourth king has to drink the cup)

This si a favorite amongst my friends. It'll get you pretty hammered

Oh man, I play this game all the time. It does get you pretty hammered, especially the "Make a Rule".

I play beer pong once in a while. It is kind of pointless, but when you're at a party with a bunch of friends...good times are had.

[zombievictim]

Yeah, JDParker, that's Kings. My friends and I play that a lot too. Fun game.

And I'm with Labia on Thunderstruck. SUCH a fun game.

[Smiert Spionam]

Fuckin' hate beer pong. Its only one notch above cornhole as you atleast get to drink.
Hey, if you wanan get drunk, why don't you just drink a fuckin' beer? Why go through all the bullshit of playing a dumb game and possibly getting sick from the various germs involved?

Fuckin' kids these days....

I was adding movies to my Netflix queue last night and see...

That's what kills it for me. I'm just faded and want to play a game while bullshitting. Some people and their rules, I just want to pimp slap the shit out of them. They suck the fun out of it. Fuck those people.

[QUENTIN]

For close to two years, I opened my bedroom door into a beer pong table in our living room. I've played, I don't know, several hundred games (and oddly, have never had any homosexual experiences or desires). I think it's generally more fun than just sipping on a beer and makes a game out of getting drunk, I don't see the harm.

Flipcup, Kings, Asshole, etc. all involve more people and are more directly sociable, but beer pong is often a good way to meet people, hang out with your friends, and drink beer, which are all things I like. If you're all about the hot chicks, I've seen girls do wild things to distract an opponent while he's shooting, and most girls I knew liked to play too. It is no different than darts really, a simple game of skill, except it's not dangerous to do at a party and everyone who plays wins, since drinking, not scoring an arbitrary number of points, is the goal.

The animosity here just seems to be unreasonable, misplaced hostility. What did beer pong ever do to you?

Agree with Quentin = take a drink.

Attracted more assholes to the bars I hang out in and brought forth a staggering increase in infantile behavior.

*falls asleep, head smacking off table*

[Bahs]

I like the beer pong because i think its a fun game
Im in college and playing beer pong at parties is kinda a social thing to me--you can meet new people. I mean i know my limits and such so i dont overdo myself, and plus my friends can get pretty competitive and that makes it fun.
I don't know why you all hate on it like it is some douchebag game (which it can be sometimes, espessialy when someone gets wayyy to butthurt over a rule that screws them over) but i think it is an enjoyable game for what it is-just like any card game, or an internet game, or triva games , or board games, or air hockey ect.

[echo_bravo]

I gotta agree that Flippy Cup is more fun to play than Beer Pong (IMO).

You can get a ton of people to play at once and there is a lot of hilarious trash talking going on (not to mention, you can get incredible shitfaced a lot quicker)
