Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
