Trimarian Court Bingo

The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Two Peers take a joint Associate. Court is more than one hour late. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. FREE SPACE The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows.
The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!"
The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown.

Instructions: Pay attention in court! If you see or hear something described in one of the boxes, mark off that box. If you mark off five boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally -- true diagonal, not "sort of" diagonal), jump up and shout "Bingo!" (and pray that the Crown has a sense of humor).
