d and I love Dirty Jobs. d loves it because "it reveals the dirty underbelly of capitalism," I like it because it's dirty. In honor of their 100th dirty job episode -- Farmer Bob's Las Vegas pig farm is our favorite -- we put together this drinking game. This is our first cut, we may refine the list later.
Warmup:
- "Hi, I'm Mike Rowe" (including outtakes)
Drink if:
- Mike tells someone, "you have a dirty job"
- Mike quotes opera lyrics, theater lines, or poetry
- There is an explosion
- Mike squirts/flings something on the camera
- Mike gets something unpleasant in his mouth
- Mike writes "Dirty Jobs" in muck
- Fecal matter is involved
- Pigs!
- Mike harasses a cameraman
- Mike attempts math
- Mike takes his shirt off
- Mike loses a shoe
- Vexcon makes an appearance
- Mike has to catch an animal
- Producer jazzes up monotonous segment with rock music
- Mike has to sex an animal
- Mike wonders why he isn't wearing a mask
- Mike complains about not getting any help
- Mike has to herd an animal into a pen
- Mike mentions his former career
- Mike eats whatever he was handling
- Mike gets stuck
- Mike has to assist animal mating rituals
- Mike fears for his life
Chug if: * Mike sings a song * Mike coaches a kid to say Dirty Jobs is his favorite show * Mike vomits
If you're really crazy, drink (or chug) if: * Mike screws something up

Nice! Still love the show, but didn't much care for the 2-hour retrospective special.
The Vegas pig farmer segment WAS a good one...now I'm trying to figure out my favorite. Maybe a tie between "chick sexer", "SF sewer repairman", and the pig farmer.
I thought I saw the vexcon logo on Mythbusters recently (on a piece of clothing, forget whose)...did you see it?
Rowe-related: You might also enjoy the Deadliest Catch season 2 if you haven't seen it yet.

SF sewer repairman definitely up there for me and I'm certain fits directly into d's "dirty underbelly of capitalism" delight. We have the season 1 DVDs on order and that episode is among them. The 2-hour special definitely played a lot of b-sides, with the natural problem that there was a good reason why that material wasn't originally on the show, though it was fun to see the short clips of some of the better moments of previous shows. I didn't realize that Rowe was involved with so many Discovery shows. After your mention of Deadliest Catch, I looked it up and found out that he also narrates American Chopper and American Hot Rod.
I'm a bit behind on MythBusters. I'm waiting for the RSI to cool down before I blitz through the episode guides for those.

Interestingly, Rowe also did some Bay Area local-interest shows a few years back (I forget the names).
He did a segment on the Fremont backyard monorail guy on one of those shows, for instance.
(I recommended Deadliest Catch not so much because he narrates it -- he basically just reads a matter-of-fact script -- but because it seems like if you like DJ and MB you might like DC)
