"CHiPs" Drinking Game

"CHiPs" Drinking Game
(Carefully Selected and Refined for any episode)

General Patrolling with Ponch & Jon:

1 drink every time they apprehend a suspect while not patrolling the highway system
1 drink every time they're shocked to see anyone they've pulled over or arrested is female
1 drink for every VW Bug
1 drink for every dramatic zoom-in
1 drink for time continuity issues (day-for-night, sun setting/high noon during chase sequence, etc.)
1 drink for every instance of reused footage
1 drink for every time a vehicle is reused in the same scene
2 drinks every time they actually cuff someone

1 drink if Officer Barry Baricza arrives after a pursuit, accident, etc.
2 drinks if Officer Barry Baricza joins in the pursuit with Ponch & Jon

Ponch & Jon (Specific):

1 drink for The Ting Ponch shows his pearly whites and purposely smiles during any situation
2 drinks if during an accident

1 drink every time Ponch's uniform gets messy
2 drinks if it happens more than once in a single episode
Finish the glass/bottle if hes seen coming from the shower

1 drink for every time Ponch/Jon refer to each other as "Old Buddy", "Partner", etc.
1 drink for every time Ponch/Jon tells a citizen to "Cool It", "Take It Easy", etc.

1 drink for every time Ponch flirts with someone they've pulled over
3 drinks if Ponch flirts on Jon's behalf
Finish your glass/bottle if Jon flirts with someone they've pulled over
2 drinks if that gets them a date

1 drink for every time Ponch/Jon lets someone off with just a warning

1 drink for every time we see Ponch and Jon have lunch
2 drinks if they're interrupted

1 drink (at every freeze frame) if the ending credits are at Ponchs expense
Finish your glass/bottle if Ponch shakes his fist during the ending credits
Finish your glass/bottle if Jon shrugs his shoulders at Ponch's expense

Other Locations & Miscellaneous:

1 drink for every sergeant voice-over montage
2 drinks for every time Ponch is called Francis
3 drinks if they use his middle name Llewellyn
1 drink for every time someone mispronounces Ponch's last name (Poncherello)
2 drinks every time someone Ponch/Jon saves sends them a gift or visits them
2 drinks for every time Ponch has a Hostess Ding-Dong
2 drinks every time you see Ponch's trailer
3 drinks when we see Jon's apartment
2 drinks for every time the whole squad has a laugh at Ponch's expense

This might be moderately pathetic since this is my first official post, but I really don't care. Just enough time and dedication went into this list. I've spent the last two weeks regressing into my childhood and I've discovered one very important lesson: If you're caught watching "CHiPs" at the age of 28 without a beer in your hand, then you have serious issues that need to be dealt with immediately. I'm not joking, either. Go, run to the nearest bridge and jump or see a psychiatrist at least for Christ's sake!

Adios Muchachos!
