Super Bowl 2012 Halftime Show: Survive the Halftime Show with This Drinking Game

If you're anything like me, the Super Bowl halftime show is a great time to go the bathroom, fill up the plate with more food, check emails, grab some fresh air outside and pretty much do anything that doesn't involve actually watching the show.

But halftime lasts for 30 minutes, so even I run out of things to do. Until this year. I present to you the Halftime Show Drinking Game!

Enjoy. And don't drink and drive.

Drink (Once)

Any time a new performer appears on stage.

Each time someone at the party says Madonna "still has it," "looks fantastic," "is such a talented performer," "is a genius" or anything involving the word "reinvent."

A performer bows his or her head and crosses his or her arms.

A performer is carried by stage hands.

A performer sits in some sort of large and elaborate seat or chair.

Someone ascends from below the stage.

A closeup of a dancer or a non-singing performer is shown on the screen.

There is any sort of explosion or smoke released from the stage.

Any time anyone tries to predict the set list Madonna will perform.

Drink (Twice)

Someone at the party compares the performance to previous Super Bowl performances.

Someone shares an anecdote about the time they saw Madonna perform live.

Someone notes that they've never heard of any of the performers other than Madonna.

Someone jokingly wonders why Madonna didn't perform "Like a Virgin."

Someone at the party accuses the performers of lip synching.

Finish Your Drink

There is a wardrobe malfunction.

Someone curses or a word is obviously censored during the performance.

Someone falls off the stage.

Anyone mentions the Lingerie Bowl or Puppy Bowl.

Hit me up on Twitter—my tweets are Super (Bowl), thanks for asking.
