Just about everyday at school from 5 to 7 p.m. I would watch "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel. If you've never seen the show, it is a trivia masterpiece that takes place in a NYC cab, hosted by the corny and semi-witty Ben Bailey. I realized that the show fits perfectly before sports games and other night-time activities so I came up with a drinking game to go along with it and get the night started. Feel free to add your own rules and leave them as comments.
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.
