The rules are simple: watch for each of the below Kevin Lemannerisms and, when you spot one, call out the corresponding phrase and enjoy the appropriate number of chugs with all your drinking buddies (if you're drinking alone, it's recommended that you call them out anyways; maybe your neighbors will be intrigued and tune in for a taste of the smugness).
The game is best played with beer, wine, or champagne--anything you can chug. If you're playing with hard alcohol, you can decide whether to substitute a single chug for a full shot or a half. Either way, you can trust Kevo to get you totally crunk any night of the week except Beach Wednesdays. Let's take Boston by storm!!
The Kevin Lemannerisms
Pointing into the camera: one chug
Take a chug whenever Kevin points into the camera--presumably at you, the viewer. We're still not sure whether this is a conscious Lemannerism or not. Most Lemannerists to date think it is a subconscious attempt to remind the audience that we are here and he is there, soaking up the spotlight. Shout out: Fuck you, Kevin!
The Fonzi Point: two chugs
Originally the "double point", the Fonzi Point occurs when Kevin points both fingers at once into the camera. Just cover up all those gray hairs, throw a leather jacket on him, and, ayyyyyy! We got ourselves a regular Fonzi! Shout out: Ayyyyyy!
The Pat: one chug
The Pat is a rather flamboyant gesture whereby Kevin seems to pat an imaginary puppy or some other cute animal on the head. If you watch Fox 25 long enough, you'll get what I mean. Or you could try imagining your ex-girlfriend's hand motions as she explains last week's episode of Gossip Girl. Shout out: Omg omg!
The CLAW: one chug
The CLAW is one of the most special Lemannerisms we know of. It occurs when Kevin shapes one of his hands in the form of a bear claw, as if he is attempting to scratch the life out of the nearest storm or low pressure zone. Shout out: THE CLAWWWWWW!
The Double CLAW: two chugs
The Double CLAW, while frightening to most viewers, is completely harmless. Just imagine he is doing the Monster Mash. It happens, of course, when Kevin makes the CLAW shape in both of his hands. Shout out: we-do-the-MASH (sung)
Smug skies ahead: two chugs
Only use this rule if you can hold your drinks, as it happens in nearly every one of Kevin's intros and outros. Take two chugs if Kevin says something smug or makes a smug grin. Not only is this a frequent occurrence, but if you're partying with smart people (MIT sorority girls, for example) it can lead to interesting and hilarious drunk debates about what is considered smug and what isn't. Shout out: smug skies ahead!
For Advanced Players
There is an additional variant of the MyFox Drinking Game whereby the last person to make the appropriate shout-out must suffer a cruel and unusual punishment. You can settle for an extra chug or two, or you can make them spin around on one foot singing "We Love You Conrad" from Bye Bye Birdie, replacing "Conrad" with "Kevin", of course. You'll have to YouTube the song if you don't know it, but here are the lyrics:
We love you Kevin
Oh yes we do
We love you Kevin
And we'll be true
When you're not near us
We're blue
Oh, Kevin, we love you!
For Kevin Lemanowicz
No hard feelings, Kev. You just have a hilarious weathercast. You know I'm just playin' wichu dog!! Just think, you are now responsible for thousands of college-age jerks getting drunk off the weather. The next generation of weathermen is in your claws.
Interesting. I assume you are a male, because us ladies love our Kev! He is "Le Man O' wits"...which you could never match . We would never drink while he is on and risk blurring our view of him or compromising the high intellect you need to get his analysis of dew points and storm systems.
ReplyDeleteSo you can keep your sour grapes in the cheap wine you drink and we'll take Kevin sober, rain or shine
If you love him so much, why don't you give us your name? And yes, I am a male. That's one of the reasons my parents decided to name me "Andrew".
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Andrews sisters??????
ReplyDeleteLet me speak for the rest of the female population. Kevin Lemanowicz is just meh. I mean, he reminds me of the rich punks who played lax in college.
ReplyDeleteAnd he's a moron.
