About: No More for Me   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Some startling, extraordinary event occurs, and a bewildered spectator (archetypally, a lone tramp with a bottle) decides that some consumable he/she is working on is causing hallucinations, and promptly throws it away. They might also take a vow of sobriety out loud (often with one hand raised), or write down a pledge to stop drinking or drugging. If the person realizes their eyes and/or mind is not playing tricks on them, they may either recant or find a loophole in their decision. Contrast I Need a Freaking Drink, where the situation will make someone on screen turn to drinking.

As one of those "old-fashioned" comedy gags, it's rarely played straight nowadays. It may be a throwback to the time of Prohibition, when poorly-synthesized bathtub gin could cause brain damage and blindness. Contrast I Need a Freaking Drink, where the situation will make someone on screen turn to drinking. Examples of No More for Me include:
