Back to the Future

Every once in a while a movie comes along that makes the perfect drinking game. While planning our 2002 St. Patrick's Day party, I was trying to think of a great drinking game. As I flipped through the channels of our TV, I came across Back to the Future 2 which was showing on the Disney Channel. Now as innocent and decent as Disney is, it gave me the basis for my newest drinking game...The Back to the Future Drinking Game.

To play, you need to rent or use your personal copy of Back to the Future. Use the first movie. We haven't made rules for the entire trilogy yet, but I am sure they're on the horizon. Below are the rules to the game. We had so much fun with these rules and I am sure you will as well. If you have any suggestions on how to make this game better, let me know, or if you were at the party and remember something I didn't, let me know so I can add it to the page.

Marty or McFly or Marty McFly

Ah yes, good ole Marty McFly, the main character of this timeless classic. The rule here is simple. Every time you hear the name Marty - or- McFly -or- Marty McFly, you have to drink. Easy enough, right? Well, let's just say there are a few scenes that get a little hairy and you just want his name to be something else!!!
Great Scott!!!

I have to give credit where credit is due. Our friend Scott (yeah I said his name was Scott) came up with this one. One of Doc Brown's favorite expressions is "Great Scott." He says this several times throughout the movie. So, we couldn't pass up the chance to drink every time he said it! So here is what you need to do. Whenever Doc Brown says "Great Scott", everyone watching yells "a ______ shot!" and then does that shot. Fill in the blank as you please. We were using jello shots for our line. So it went like this:

Doc Brown: "Great Scott"

Viewers: " A jello shot" and then we would do the shot.

You have to be quick with this one and you have to have your shots ready. It is so much fun.


JCPenney

Time to drink again! Whenever you see the JCPenney in the background during the scenes in the mall parking lot, you have to drink. JCPenney pops up a lot more than you may expect and don't forget, no matter how good and drunk you are by the end of the movie, the JCPenney makes a few last appearances before the movie ends!

Hi Einstein...Bye Einstein

No drinking here, but it is one of the funniest things you will see drunk people do during this movie. Any time you see Einstein, Doc Brown's dog, you have to wave to him and yell either "Hi Einstein" -or- "Bye Einstein." Obviously when he zips off to the future, we say good bye and when he comes back, we say hello. However, every time in between that you see him, well, just be sure to wave and yell something to the pooch!

Lybians

As one of my friends called them, "the Taliban of the 80's," the Lybians are not cool in this movie. I mean, they shoot Doc Brown. So whenever you see the Lybians, stand up, flip them the middle finger and scream "Fuck you Lybians!!!!" Every time you see one, you have to do it. Again, don't forget these asses appear again at the end of the movie.

Banana Suit

Before and after Marty takes his initial trip back in time, we see him wearing a bright yellow radiation suit. Although it is supposed to be protective, it also makes Marty look like a giant banana. So we call this the Banana Man drink. Whenever you see Marty in this yellow suit, you have to drink. Remember, if the camera focuses on someone else and comes back to Marty in the yellow suit...drink, drink, drink!

Chandelier Hat

One more time I have to give credit to someone else on this one. My friend Sue made the comment during this one scene that it looked as if Doc was wearing a chandelier on his head. Well, since most party animals wear a lamp shade, Doc has got to be different. So in honor of this wacked out loony man, drink everytime you see Doc in this stranger than fiction hat.

Gigawatt?...Gigawho?

This one comes from our friend Chas. Probably only the people who listen to rap will understand this one, but it is funny just the same. Doc Brown uses the word gigawatt several times throughout the film. Everytime he says gigawatt, everyone participating should yell back gigawho! Trust me, even if you have never heard the song that this one is based on, you will love it just the same.

Oh shit!!

Biff is pure evil. Biff almost destroys Marty's future. Yet when he hits the back of that manure truck and it dumps its load on his car and all of his friends, we can't help but laugh out loud. Well now, the minute the manure starts to fall, everyone should yell " Oooooohhhhhhhh ssshhhiiiiiiiiiittttt!" That's right, yell "oh shit." Make sure you stretch it out and crescendo in the middle so it sounds funnier. When you are drunk, this one will make you laugh your butt off.
