Trimarian Court Bingo

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

The Quarter - If someone isn't offended, it probably isn't funny!
