SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for the Season 8 premiere of Dropout‘s “Game Changer,” titled “Don’t Wake Standards & Practices.”

The eighth season premiere of Dropout’s ever-evolving game show “Game Changer” wasn’t about whether you won or lost (mostly), but how you played the censorship game.

Featuring Dropout regulars Ally Beardsley, Lou Wilson and Jeremy Culhane (who was part of “Saturday Night Live’s” freshman class this year), the episode titled “Don’t Wake Standards & Practices” asked the contestants to give their most salacious attempts at breaking copyright infringement, profanity rules and other things lawyers hate in order to move along the life-sized game board toward the finish line. But the fine line to walk was staying within the bounds of propriety that kept the giant “Standards & Practices” figure from springing to life and sending them back to the start.
