The Ten Commandments Drinking Game
It is a tradition in my family to watch the 1956 version of "The
Ten Commandments" on Easter. I have said for years I was going to
make a drinking game of it. I finally got around to it. And, as there
are two weeks until it airs this year (It airs April 7th, 2007 on ABC
at 7pm), and as I want Nick to join me remotely in watching this....
-----------
- The Official Ten Commandments Drinking Game
-
- Drink when someone addresses Moses using his name twice ("Oh
Moses, Moses, you stubborn, splendid, adorable fool...")
- Drink when someone is described with an animal metaphor. ("You
have rats' ears and a ferret's nose") Drink twice if it is Dathan
described.
- Drink when Cecile B. DeMille uses a preachy tone to describe a
Hebrew's struggles ("So did the Egyptians cause the children of
Israel to serve with rigor, and their lives were made bitter with
hard bondage...")
- Drink twice when Pharoah orders "So let it be written, so let
it be done." (or some variant.)
- Drink once when Lilia is referred to with a reference to mud
("My mud flower
")
- Drink once when Lilia gains a Mary Sue point.
- Drink twice when someone suggests Moses would be wiser to take
the throne.
- Drink when someone's "natural force" is not abated. (Or any
other seed/semen reference.)
- Drink when someone speaks of the "Deliverer" (Need only drink
once for each new topic of deliverance
else you would not
survive the night.)
- Drink when someone refers to Memnet being a masochist. ("Oh,
Memnet you old fool, you're only happy when you're
miserable
")
- Drink when someone speaks an unwitting prophesy ("The day you
break that oath shall be the last your eyes shall ever see
")
- Drink when Ramses implicates his brother.
- Drink when Sethi calls his announcer a windbag.
- Drink when Nefertiri refers to herself as her country ("But I
am Egypt
")
- Drink twice when Ramses speaks of his horses/chariot.
- Drink when Moses calls Baka "Master Butcher"
- Drink when Nefertiri throws herself at the "foot of a Hebrew
slave"
- Drink when someone points out Sephora's age.
- Drink when someone speaks "Let my people go"
- Drink when someone makes a modern allusion ("Are there no
magicians to in Egypt that you come back to make serpents out of
sticks, or cause rabbits to appear?" "Go! Proclaim liberty to all
the land
")
- Drink when the Israelites turn against Moses.
- Drink when Pharoah's heart is hardened.
- Drink when Ramses denies God/his gods.
- Drink when Ramses hears laughter.

You forgot one of the most important ones! Swig whenever someone
shouts "Stone him!"
Another good addition would be to drink whenever Pharaoh
(Specifically Yul Brenner) is seen in a new hat. Yul had the coolest
hats in this movie!
The rest of the rules look real good. I've been saying the same
thing as you for YEARS AND YEARS...
An awesome movie and a great excuse for a drinking game!

Thought of another good one:
Swig whenever Dathan says "Where's your messiah now?"
