- Beer pong, the undeniable poster child
of drinking games.
And today, I'm gonna prove to you why beer pong
is the greatest drinking game in the world.
But if I'm right, and I'm definitely right,
you probably already knew that.
(Western music)
- [Voiceover] So to start my case,
I took to the streets of LA to ask
what was the best drinking game.
Keep in mind, these people have no idea
I'm making a video about beer pong.
In your opinion, what is the best beer drinking game?
- The best beer drinking game for sure is beer pong.
- Beer pong. It's more social.
- Kings cup.
- Beer pong.
- Kings.
- Beer pong.
- This game we call Things.
- [Voiceover] So, let's recap.
That's one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight votes for beer pong.
And one, two votes for kings cup.
And also, one vote for some game called things.
Yes, that means a game that I've never even heard of
got more votes than flip cup,
which put up a big fat doughnut.
You get it, moving on.
I could show you how fun beer pong is
by showing you clips like this epic beer pong
done from my college days.
(yelling and screaming)
(crowd cheers)
But instead, I'm just gonna show you me and my dad
chilling over a game of BP in the backyard.
All right.
- Not bad for an old dude.
- Yeah, whatever.
(dad laughs)
You've seen this game before,
and you saw it for the first time one summer night,
actually in this house, when we were having a party.
- Right.
- What did you think of when you first saw it?
- I think that night, one of your uncles was over here.
He was about my age, and we figured,
you know what, that looks like a game
that we could probably school these young kids on.
I was never really into chugging games
and I figure, well, why not play a skill game
while having a casual sip of your beer?
I mean, the two just went together naturally.
And I believe, we actually did beat you guys
all that night and you weren't
so happy about it. - You lost the first game
from my recollection.
- Okay, is that what it was? (laughs)
I don't think there's an age requirement
or anything like that.
Pretty much anybody can play.
- Oh man, see that form, Dad?
(dad laughs)
- [Voiceover] So to close this thing out,
I sent an email to the entire office to see
who would like to participate in a beer pong tournament.
Within one hour, I had 60 volunteers.
But, due to time, I had to cut it down to an 18 tournament.
(electronic music)
All right, let's be honest,
nobody wants to watch the qualifiers.
So, let's just skip to the finals.
(electronic music)
- I will.
(cheers)
- Balls back, all right.
You go, girl.
- Watch Mallory
and her elbows, though. - Nice.
- Yes!
- Okay, okay.
- You got it, girl.
- Were you going every time for defense?
- Woo! - Yeah, baby!
- See what happens? - It's okay.
- Well, Kelsey is carrying your team.
(laughs)
- Damn!
- You gotta get this one, man.
- Okay, that's a lot of pressure.
(other team laughs)
Aww. - You're there!
- Yeah, baby!
- What am I doing?
- Yeah! Tail up!
(teammates whisper)
(laughs)
- There you go. - Finally!
Okay, get that cup.
- Where'd that one come from?
- That's how we do. That's it, oh yeah.
- No, please stop.
- I can't see well.
(cheers)
- Oh no. - D. D. Yes!
- Hold on, I have a speech to make.
It's been a good game.
- Oh my God.
- I really enjoy, - Stop, you're doing this.
- I really enjoy this game. - You do this.
- Okay, winning an Oscar.
(cheers)
- Oh is it? - Rebuttal, right?
- No rebuttal, it's the same front cup.
- Fucking horseshit.
- So what did we learn here today?
Beer pong is the crowd favorite.
It could be chill, or it could be crazy.
It could be enjoyed by people young and old.
And it also lends itself to decorum and competition,
i.e., the tournament that we just had.
And I guess that's my favorite part about it.
The competitive aspect that it brings out of people.
Because when you step up to the table,
you would swear that you could beat
the people across from you,
no matter who they are
and no matter how skilled you are.
I didn't make that, did i?
It's fine.
That wasn't even close, was it?
Yes!
