  • Sip — whenever Xerxes appears in an absurdly over-the-top bedazzled costume
  • Drink Twice — whenever a celebrity impersonator cameo arrives without warning
  • Drink Twice — whenever the Pit of Death receives another guest mid-conversation
  • Drink Twice — whenever Queen Margo attempts to rally political support in Sparta
  • Shot — whenever the film breaks the fourth wall to acknowledge how stupid it is
