What a bitch. She should've definately let him go after doing all of that. That guy was remarkable, though at times I wondered its validity after seeing her tell him to do all of these whacky things. Of course, I guess she was just trying to get a few laughs from him.
You know, I've had cops ask me to do the alphabet thing. What the bells is that all about? Is it just me that can't do it? (Sober...maybe I could do it drunk. heh.)

I memorized it when I was 15 or so. Thought it would be a useful skill. I've never had to use it, though:)
The only problem with Reno 911 is that ads for that were the first ads put into SWAT4 by the mandatory ad-enabling patch. I immediately quit watching the show, deleted it from my Tivo schedule, and sent a letter to Comedy Central explaining I would never watch it again for using an ad system installed without my consent post-purchase.

The idea behind having you say the alphabet backwards is it requires thought for most people, yet it's a manipulation of something that almost everybody knows. Though I believe these days most police just have people say the alphabet forwards, which seems to be enough to catch drunks.
I heard one cop who was working security off-duty say that the alphabet backwards thing was more for a "I don't know" or "I can't do it" response then an actual person trying to recite it backwards. A drunk will go ahead and try it.
Sometimes they will make you say the alphabet forwards, but stop on a particular letter.

I agree with your sentiment here, but blame the marketing and promotion people, not the show and actors! Reno 911! is in my top 4 shows on TV right now. And they're making a movie!! Woohoo!

I got stopped once and the cop made me count backward from 100 to 75. Try doing that when you're drunk.
I got the "follow my finger without moving your head" test (with the goddamn flashing lightbar strobing me from behind him), the walk straight line test, and balance on one foot test.
Of course this was in my training peak when I was doing kung fu 25 hours a week or more. I could have passed out while balancing on one foot...
Ahahaha.

This is a clip from the fake "cops" show "Reno 911" on Comedy Central.
Funny show.

See: Reno 911.
EDIT: Crap. Beaten to the punch.

Any of our Goodjer Cops™ wanna chime in?

Now that would make for some entertaining squad car footage.
