The show has quoted off Gibbs rules over the course of five seasons. How many can you name?

I think I know a couple, but I'm not a 100% sure.

1. Never let suspects stay together. (Yankee White)
2. Always wear gloves at a crime scene. (Yankee White)
3. Don't believe what you're told, always double check. (Yankee White)
4. Never say you're sorry.
7. Always be specific when you lie. (Reveille)

Tony just told McGee that one of Gibbs' rules is no eating in the truck. Then when Tim tossed his burger in the garbage Tony said that maybe he was mistaken and that Gibbs' rule was actually 'no eating in autopsy.'

I just watched "Yankee White" and rule #4 was mentioned. But I also know this rule is mentioned liberally throughout every season.

[marsden765]

I just watched "Yankee White" and rule #4 was mentioned. But I also know this rule is mentioned liberally throughout every season.

I'm watching the episode called, "Blowback" and Jennie begins telling Gibbs some of his rules at about the 15:30 mark.

http://www.veoh.com/...4842268htyHEZHx

Jenny

"The best way to keep a secret: keep it to yourself. Second best: tell one other person, if you must. There is no third best. That's rule #4 isn't it?"

Gibbs

"Number 1 supercedes all of the others."

Jenny

"Never screw your partner?"

Gibbs

"Never screw over your partner."

[redhead21]

[Canoness]

The show has quoted off Gibbs rules over the course of five seasons. How many can you name?

I believe a nice piece of NCIS merchandise, would be a poster with Gibbs on it and all his 50 rules.

[Spock]

It would be a great gift if USA came out with a poster with all the rules, when the show is ending.

I if it interesting, that this "list" has numbers which aren't constant. Apparently, the writers don't record the rules they come up with.

This vid is created by NCISmelanie ( as previously posted ). As she ( the creator ) states, this vid was made in 2007.

Gibbs Rules


This thread should be kept going, being able to add to it when we hear a rule.

We need the USAAdmin to pin or sticky it.
