"I Never..." or "Never Have I Ever..." is a Drinking Game played frequently by high school and college students. The premise is simple: Everyone has a drink. Going around in a circle, players begin, "I never..." and finish the statement with an action or behavior. Everyone who has done so must drink. In Real Life, this is a way for friends to get to know each other better, although it has a tendency to turn nasty, becoming spiteful and a way to embarrass "friends." It is also probable that someone will be playing only to learn new gossip about the other players. They will probably react badly if called on this. It is also sometimes known as "ten fingers," because it can be played by putting down a finger instead of taking a drink, if you're in a setting where alcohol is unavailable. It gets raunchy. In fiction, it's just mild teasing, and it's great for character exposition. |

Happy Days: Fonzie is invited to a socialite's dinner party but only for the purpose of making fun of him. When Fonzie catches on, he leaves but not before he dresses down his hostess. She huffs "Well, I never!" To which the Fonz replies, "Yeah, maybe that's your problem!" | |

Another non-alcoholic version of "I Never..." occurs in the lonelygirl15 episode "Backyard Bikini Patrol". The point was obviously not to get drunk (they were playing with M&M's), but to learn "something juicy" about the participants. Served as a means of delivering exposition because we found out how different the lives of trait positives were from those of normal girls. | |

Played in the Miraculous Ladybug fic Porte-Boner during the party at Adrien's house, spanning multiple chapters. Probably the funniest part of the game is when Marinette unexpectedly gets the entire room to admit to having had at least one sexual fantasy involving an Akuma, much to her shock. | |

"I Never..." was played on an episode of Medium where it became a clue that a man was possessed by his murderer ancestor. He was playing with his girlfriend and she asked whether he had dreamt of menstrual blood running down a virgin's leg and then slitting her throat. He had to take a drink. | |

On The Big Bang Theory episode "The Big Bear Percipitaiton", Leonard, Sheldon, Amy and Penny play "Never have I ever..." to pass the time at a cabin while it's raining outside. It leads to a spat between Leonard and Penny when it's revealed that Leonard keeps a secret money account. We also learned that Sheldon was arrested for jaywalking (or rather, for harassing an officer for not arresting him for jaywalking) and that Amy once pushed all the buttons on an elevator. ("Everyone has a past.") | |

Service with a Smile: In chapter 24, after the twins and Neo take Jaune and Pyrrha to the club's private room, they engage in a few rounds of this. We learn in short order that Jaune's been caught masturbating (he has seven sisters, he has no privacy), Miltia has publicly exposed herself (she got woken up for an emergency and stumbled out without putting her clothes on properly), Jaune has never made out with a girl (Miltia happily corrects that one), and Pyrrha has never made out with a boy (Pyrrha happily corrects that one using Jaune). | |

Discussed on Top Gear during a news segment, in which Clarkson notes that an easy turn for a guy is to say "I've never used a tampon". Hammond notes this for future reference, but May says he has used one (for "you know, spillage") then goes on with an innuendo-laden discussion of two legitimate uses a man might find for a tampon. Given that all three hosts did use tampons in the Bolivia special (to help seal their cars for a river crossing), this becomes Hilarious in Hindsight. | |

Family Guy: The episode “Perfect Castaway” had Peter and his friends play "I Never" while on a boating trip, exclusively naming off sexual acts. Naturally, Quagmire ends up taking a drink for every single round, despite the others actively trying to come up with the most ludicrous, unlikely situations they can imagine (for some reason, it never occurs to them to say something non-sexual, nor is it ever shown to be Quagmire's turn to say "I never"). Eventually he just passes out. | |

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt, Eskel, and Lambert can engage in a round of "I Never" during their drunken night in. The "I Never"s are predictably saucy, including sleeping with a succubus and taking fisstech as one of Geralt's possible choices, to both of which Eskel drinks, prompting Lambert to quip that still waters run deep. If Geralt chooses the other possible dialogue option in the game, Lambert reveals himself as having slept with his best friend's wife. | |
