Have you dudes been icing any bros? - Page 6 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

My hope is that she would know better than to. If not for this topic I would have no idea what was going on so I would be dumbstruck and just decline. I view Ice as a girlie drink so my automatic assumption would be that it was some sort of insult. Now knowing what it is I would still just play stupid and decline.

This really amuses me for some reason. The entire post. Not sure why. But I smiled a lot while reading it.

(and in this case in their interests pretty much just means they lose less by going along with it than not; reducing losses rather than increasing gains)

The US gets weird when it comes to alcohol. Had no idea you didn't have vodka and rum coolers until I looked it up just now. I can't really speak coming from Ontario though where the only way to get liquor is through government owned stores at jacked up prices.

the only time it is appropriate to have smirnoff ice is when you mix it with beer to make a turbo shandy.

Get 1 pint lager
Drink 1/2 pint of it
Add bottle of smirnoff ice to make whole pint
Drink whole pint

repeat x10

Imagine this game with Ambien instead of booze. Popping Ambien at 9AM before your shift starts.

I just Iced a homeless guy by the store a few hours ago. He didn't stand up to take a knee or anything and seemed a tad confused (especially by the video camera), but he knew about the chug part of the game.

pretty clever guerrilla marketing, encouraging young males to consume a product that isnt usually purchased by them.

Someone does this to me and I take the drink, turn away and never bother partying with that sad freak again.

Drinking games, pranks and the two combined are funny. Some sad game invented by a drinks company is merely that, a sad game invented to boost sales.

The link/OP should be treated as spam and act accordingly.

This is new and awesome.

Or you know, they actually like having fun with their friends.

That it might be rooted in marketing doesn't chance the fact that it's an amusing premise. Don't get the hate in this thread at all.

I don't get why it is hilarious. We did a lot of silly things and had pranks and **** so not like I'm just mr serious all the time but this just seems stupid. Humor can't be explained so maybe it is a generational thing but I don't get it.

AND IF THAT'S NOT FUNNY ENOUGH, the victim has to drink it on one knee for no apparent reason. HOW DO YOU NOT FIND THIS FUNNY?

Because repetition ceases to make it funny. What was funny about stuff we did was that it was always unique. Doing the same thing over and over again with just a slight variation isn't funny.

This is funny, but if it happens any more than like 5 times to you, it starts to become lame. This **** is something that people can have a bit of fun with... it shouldn't consume your life.
