The Late Late Toy Show Drinking Game

Yes. It's that time of the year again. Ryan Tubridy has a new shipment of festive jumpers. If you're not from Ireland and aren't familiar with The Late Late Show; you are incredibly fortunate and haven't missed anything.
However, once a year we are given this wonderful opportunity; breaking away from the perpetual excretions of semi-serious questions and answers to be faced with a surplus of joy, toys and all sorts of entertainment items aimed at incredibly underage and naive children. So why not add some fermented glory to the occasion?
As the show's clichés are clichés and that being that; there is little room for originality & there are already several variations of the game. Feel free to alter them as you please.



 If something similar to the following happens, you know what to do:
 

- 'There's one for everybody in the audience'
- If there's a hamper on the go
- If anyone advertises during the show
- A child makes a cheeky comment (take two)
- Tubs can't use a toy (one) (Finish the drink if he breaks it)
- A toy is already broken (two)
- A toy needs batteries
- A piano plays
- Someone sings (two for Tubs)
- Tubs looks like he's out of it (two for a sniff; 3 for a jaw clench) 
- Any mention of a competition (two if it's a phone-in)
- A dodgy musician makes an appearance
  *If it's Jedward, take 2 + 1 for every inch high their hair is from the forehead
 - Tubs gets ignored by a child (drink for duration)
- A sexual innuendo is made or if things get a bit "Jimmy Saville" (three)
- Every time tubs changes clothes/costume
- Tubs acts condescending to a child
- A child gets too nervous to talk (two + 1 for every "eh","em" or meaningless utterances)
- A puppet appears (three); If it's Dustin or Bosco (finish the drink)


If you started late or have two livers:
Drink for the whole car/bike parade
Drink for every performer you see (Watch out for the choir(s))
One drink...FOR EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE!


As it's a drinking game, it's very easy to fuck up the rules. That's why there's too many to physically drink. Just dive in and buzz. But if you reckon you're Godzilla amongst the world; go right ahead.

Merry November!
