Deal or No Deal

Okay, I've gotten suckered into watching this show and I actually enjoy it, although I have no idea why - it's essentially roulette with pretty girls and suitcases. The contestants don't need to be clever or well-schooled, just lucky. It's not as easy to "play along" as, say, Jeopardy! or Who Wants to be a Millionaire? But, not unlike some of the other cheesy programs I have come to enjoy, Deal or No Deal is just that much more enjoyable accompanied by the following drinking game:

  • take a drink whenever Howie Mandel says "hello" when he answers the phone
  • take a drink whenever Howie Mandel uses the name of the "model" when requesting that she open a suitcase
  • take a drink whenever a contestant insists that the million dollars is inside the suitcase they have selected at the start of their game
  • take a drink whenever any of the "models" say something
  • take a drink whenever the contestant has an especially animated outburst (defining this can be left to your own discretion, but you may wish to consider fainting, falling down, jumping, funny catchphrases, tears, etc.)
  • take a drink whenever the contestant's onstage support network of three begs the contestant to take the deal and the contestant does the opposite
Feel free to add your own additional accompaniments to this game in the comments section!
