Hit It, Booooooooooob

I've been doing a nightly deep dive into The Bob Newhart Show, something I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend, and I discovered the show is the inspiration for Hi, Bob, the first tv show drinking game:

Hi, Bob is a drinking game in which players watch The Bob Newhart Show and consume alcohol whenever a character utters the phrase "Hi, Bob". Believed to have originated on American university campuses in the 1980s, it is thought to be the first documented instance of a drinking game using prompts from a television show to initiate player action.

I haven't had a drink in a few weeks, but when I do I'm gonna try this out...and based on what I've seen so far from the show I'll last about 6 minutes.
