READ the disclaimers first, please.
Disclaimer #1: DON'T actually *use* this as a drinking game with alcohol. Many of us don't drink much or at all, and we'd guess that if you actually *tried* to play this drinking game with alcohol, you'd be schnockered by the first commercial.
Disclaimer #2: For those who are unfamiliar with the internet's drinking game tradition and not sure how to interpret all this, we wanted to make sure it's clear that this game was created with love. The contents of the game are not meant as any sort of criticism; quite the opposite, in fact. This is a celebration of the quirks and characteristics that make the show special to us, the moments that make us laugh, cry, think hard, or sigh.

If you want to actually *play* the game, everybody can collect poker chips or pieces of small candy/snacks like Hershey's kisses, Dove promises, nuts of any sort, M&M's, pretzels, chips, etc. in place of 'drinking'.
Another idea (thanks, PartlyK!) would be to play it as a charity game. When a group gets together to watch TBAA everyone could bring their spare pennies, nickles or dimes, etc. Then when one of these things happens, everyone tosses a coin in. Alternatively, if you want to play it competitively you call out when you recognize something from the list and everyone BUT the caller tosses a penny in. At the end of the viewing session, the money goes to a charity of choice. :-)
