Look, the Superbowl is great. But for those of us that don’t care about sports, or football in particular, there isn’t much in it for us. Yes, the commercials are good. But when you’re looking forward to commercials, you know you’ve got it bad.
Hence, we play Superbowl Party Bingo. It’s a great way to pass the time and still enjoy hanging with your friends and family, who all care about the game for some reason.
Instructions:
First, try to find a couple of accomplices to make things more interest. Start with a blank bingo board. Pick the things you think are most likely to happen–and feel free to customize. Make sure that you and your accomplices put the events in different boxes. Remember, like the Super bowl itself: It’s no fun if everyone wins!
Ideas for the boxes:
- Your mom asks someone for a recipe.
- A commercial has a bikini-clad woman.
- The camera shows a lame celebrity (bonus points if it’s a female celebrity in a pink version of the team jersey).
- Aunt Sharon says she’s full, but then eats off your uncle’s plate.
- A commercial actually makes someone laugh.
- The announcer says “beautiful Indianapolis.”
- Someone calls a snack something derogatory (such as “so bad” or “like drugs”), but keeps eating it.
- The camera shows a fan's sign with a spelling or grammatical error on it.
- You can see a player curse thanks to a well-timed close-up.
- Someone farts but no one says anything.
- Someone farts and someone does say something.
- Your dad calls beers “brewskis.”
- Your uncle talks about how great it was that time his team made it to the Super Bowl… 20 years ago.
- Someone in the room talks to the ref like the ref can hear him or her.
- The camera pans to a sad fan.
In the event of a tie, here are some tiebreaker ideas:
- Correctly identify the next person to belch.
- Predict the score (lame).
- Guess how many pizza rolls you can get your dad to eat just by putting them in front of him.
Or, just watch the Puppy Bowl. You won’t be disappointed.
