There’s no such thing as an innocent game of Pictionary for Blake Shelton on Barmageddon!
The USA Network game show, executive produced by and starring Shelton, as well as his costar Carson Daly, sees celebrities team up with everyday contestants as they compete against each other in classic bar games for a cash prize.
On this Day We will seal their mouths, their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify to what they used to commit.Had We willed, We could have easily blinded their eyes, so they would struggle to find their way. How then could they see?(The Quran - Chapter Yasin : 65 - 66)
At Monday’s upcoming episode, featuring comedians Rob Riggle and Chris Hardwick — and the game quickly veers into NSFW territory.
The clip begins with Hardwick, 52, drawing something on the board as Daly begins to make guesses. “I honestly can’t tell what it is but my eyesight’s very bad,” he tells the group.
Shelton, 47, and Riggle, 53, quickly realize what Hardwick is trying to draw and declare that the task is “easy” — perhaps the “easiest one” of the game.
Daly then correctly guesses “fish” and Hardwick celebrates as Barmageddon host and former WWE star Nikki Garcia (formerly known as Nikki Bella) informs them that they guessed it in 24 seconds, which Riggle and Shelton have to beat.
Riggle then stands up to face the board, where he begins drawing a “crawfish” — but his early illustrations have Shelton thinking something completely different.
“D — — tater,” the country singer shouts out. “It’s a kitten, nipple, that’s a nipple!”
“Condom, it’s a condom, it’s an unrolled condom!” he continues. “Christmas lights… what in the hell is it? A spider?”
After guesses of “cockroach” and “water bug” are thrown out, Shelton is finally able to identify the crawfish and shouts it out.
In the final moment of the clip, Hardwick jokes it was “easily ten minutes” before Shelton correctly guessed the picture.
“We wanted to try to capture that in a TV show with people that we know,” he explained, adding that he didn’t envision himself participating in the games quite so enthusiastically when the show first began, because he liked to “watch other people do stupid stuff — not necessarily be the one doing it.”
But Barmageddon had only filmed a few episodes before he and Daly could no longer resist playing. “It’s so much fun, I wanted to be a part of it,” he said.
“We’re both very dumb men, and we come up with lots of what we think are great ideas,” Daly also joked about how he and Shelton came up with the idea for the show.
Barmageddon airs Mondays at 11 p.m. ET on USA Network.
