The Office Drinking Game: It’s Worth The Dundie Awards!

Do you have any clue on how we’re going to make it up that they removed The Office from Netflix? You wouldn’t guess, but we’ll tell you about a drinking game you can play while watching the show, and the fun is even! Let’s back up a while: The Office is one of the most popular sitcoms which started in 2005 and ended in 2013, bringing a total of 9 seasons.   

We all know people who’ve watched it more than 10 times. The whole series. At some point, all you want to do is find a way that makes watching it from a… different point of view, we may say. It’s about time we list down all the drinking rules (about a drinking game without cards, plainly) for your favorite mockumentary sitcom. Yup, so that you can go bonkers with the other Dunder Mifflin residents. 

• Essentials before playing;
• Take a sip when…;
• Take a shot when…
• Finish your drink;
• Conclusion;

Essentials Before Playing

Guys, yes, Cards Against The Office isn’t the only cool The Office game. There’s also one called The Office Drinking Game! Let’s do a brainstorming… What do you think you need before you start playing? Well, enough with the thinking, here are the equipment: 

• As many friends as you want. Invite all your Jims, Merediths, Dwights, Ryans, and of course, you’re gonna be Michael! If you ever feel like the “Survivor Man”, you can also play by yourself only.
• Drinks of your choice. We recommend having both shots and wine or cocktails.
• Shot glasses and larger glasses. You’ll need both.
• Last but not least, a laptop or other device to play the series. 

To start the game, get blindfolded (hyperbolically) and play one episode of the Office on your favorite device. You can go with your favorite or the funniest, but we think it’s always more fun when you pick it randomly. 

Now, we categorized all our rules into 3 main sections: take a sip, take a shot, and finish your drink. That’s all because of the repetition of the scenes & phrases, just as in The Friends drinking game. Of course, you’re just gonna get comfy, have some snacks, watch the episode, and all of you drink when the rules tell you so. 

Take A Sip When…

• Jim succeeds in Dwight’s pranks.
• Michael says his very famous line ‘That’s what she said!’.

Conclusion: Is It Worth The Hype?

This one will be unforgettable! That’s what she said… Well, The Office drinking game will definitely be unforgettable, especially if you and your people are fans of the show. No matter if Michael’s rude character is your type, Pam’s innocent one, or even the talkative Kelly’s, you’ll definitely find yourself and laugh with every single joke. 

The drinking game is one good reason for all the fans to watch episodes again, even after everyone has said ‘you’re watching The Office, AGAIN?’. Now you may say that it’s only because of the game (guilty). While hosting the game night, and organizing this drinking game, don’t forget to add your own jokes & game rules as well. They always add spice! 

I am your host, Michael Scott, and I just wanna tell you, please, please, do not drink and drive. Because you may hit a bump and spill the drink.
