Released in 2007, Superbad quickly carved out its place as one of the most quotable teen comedies of all time. It’s got everything: overused profanities, endless high school horniness, fake IDs, and cops who really should not be cops. That’s a recipe for a night full of booze-soaked belly laughs. So, grab your Goldslick Vodka, channel your inner McLovin, and let the Superbad drinking game begin.

Classic Superbad Drinking Game Rules That Never Fail
Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and starring an Oscar-nominated Jonah Hill and a charmingly awkward Michael Cera, it’s the holy grail of awkward teenage debauchery. These are your bread-and-butter rules—the core of your drinking session. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned Superbad binge-drinker, these classic cues will get the drinks flowing fast.
Drink Once Every Time:
- Someone says “McLovin” (Yes, even when he’s not on screen. Good luck.)
- Jonah Hill (Seth) swears unnecessarily
- Someone awkwardly tries to flirt (watch out, Becca)
- Michael Cera (Evan) gets flustered and says “man” or “dude” too much
Take Two Sips If:
- Every time someone references genitalia (drawings included)
- Whenever someone gets hit or punched
- Anyone says “Dartmouth” or talks about college plans
Finish Your Drink When…
- The cops dance in the bar
- Fogel shows his fake ID
- Seth yells something painfully cringey to Jules
Extreme Superbad Drinking Game: For the Party Pros Only
Feeling bold? Reckless? Do you have a questionable relationship with your liver? Welcome to the extreme Superbad drinking rules. You’ve been warned.
McLovin Power Hour Challenge
Set a timer and drink every time McLovin is on screen for more than 10 seconds. Sounds easy, until he becomes the accidental hero of the film.
Drink Every F-bomb
Superbad drops the F-word more than 160 times. If you commit to this rule, you better hope your drink is closer to LaCroix than liquor.
Blackout Bonus Rules
- Take a shot if someone bleeds
- Finish a drink when the liquor store scene ends
- Make a custom dare tied to each character (e.g., “If Seth rants, you have to compliment someone in the room immediately after drinking”)
This is where the game morphs from party activity to test of survival. Tread lightly.
Superbad-Style Fun Party Games
Crank your party into full-blown Superbad chaos with these wild game variations—guaranteed to take you from “just a movie night” to “we’re never getting our deposit back” levels of legendary. Fast, ridiculous, and totally on-brand with the glorious mess that is Superbad.
1. “McLovin or Not?” Icebreaker
Want to play an outrageous ID game? Give each guest a card with a random ID name and origin. They must introduce themselves only using their fake name and state/country (Hawaii gets bonus drinks). If they break character? They drink.
2. Red Flag or Green Light: High School Edition
Each person describes a character from Superbad like they’re dating them IRL (without naming them). Everyone else votes:
- Green Light = you’d date
- Red Flag = hell no
Most red flags drinks. Bonus points for describing the cops.
Related Movie Drinking Games for Your Next Party
Once you conquer Superbad, you’re going to want more. Here are some worthy sequels:
- Pineapple Express: Drink every time someone gets high, panics, or yells “Saul!”
- Project X: Drink every time the party escalates or something gets destroyed.
- Super Troopers: Drink for every prank, “meow,” or syrup reference.
- 21 Jump Street: Sip every time Channing Tatum is confused or Jonah Hill tries to be cool.
These movies, like Superbad, work because the chaos never stops—and neither does the drinking.
Party Night Add-Ons: Turn Movie Night Into a Superbad Spectacle
If you really want to turn your night into the stuff of campus legends (or TikTok fame), here’s how to throw a Superbad party so iconic.
Dress Code: Go Full McLovin or Go Home
Forget subtlety—this party calls for full character cosplay chaos.
- McLovin Vibes: Hawaiian shirt, gold chain, awkward confidence
- Seth Style: Hoodie, constant scowl, maybe carry a bottle of detergent
- Evan Energy: Tucked-in polo, cardigan, deer-in-headlights expression
- Slater & Michaels: Aviators, fake mustache, and a Nerf gun holster
Themed Drinks: Cocktails with Character
You’re not sipping Chardonnay here. These drinks should feel like they came from a 7-Eleven run gone off the rails.
- Goldslick Shots – Glitter optional, chaos mandatory
- The McLovin Mule – Vodka, ginger beer, and the confidence of a 25-year-old Hawaiian organ donor
- Fogell Fizz – Cheap vodka + Sprite + too much lime = peak high school energy
- Seth’s Secret Mix – Whatever’s left in your fridge. No questions allowed.
Whether you’re reliving high school awkwardness or introducing friends to one of the funniest films ever made, the Superbad Drinking Game delivers maximum laughs with minimal prep. It’s chaotic, juvenile, and perfectly on-brand for anyone who’s ever dreamed of buying booze with a one-name Hawaiian ID.
So, get your crew together, cue up the movie, and remember: It’s not a party until someone yells, “I am McLovin!”
