**Let's Play MONIKERS** is a video in the Board Game Club series.

"*It is incredibly stupid, and a lot of fun.*"
― Adam
## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "rules help control the fun".
* Who will *have the gift of the gab* and who will be *left flailing at nothing*?
* Teri spot! Early Teri spot! Continuing Teri spot! Hi Teri!
* Chorus introduction! Which I think counts as a "Let's All Pick on Adam". It certainly counts as our cast doing an impression of our cast.
* All hail the Tower of Destiny! It's up, it's down, it's up, it's down - and every time, Tilly gives us a tiny tune. I'm thinking someone's going to pay for Tilly's brief enforced spell as Adam's assistant, though.
* The band's back together.
* James is very busy this episode. Thanks James!
* Adam: "How dare you describe yourself as stable?!"
* *Is* this our least watchable video ever? Yeah, no. It's hilarious.
* Adam: "Tom." Tom: "Yeah, whaddya want?"
* Tilly starts fairly tense and just gets more tense. If she squishes her body there is less distance for the thought to travel from her brain, so she can think more clearly. All unnecessary bodily functions are shut down so she can concentrate.
* We will be taking no drugs-related questions at this time.
* Adam's taking this very seriously, quelle suprise.
* Brooke sounds like she may take off, or implode - but her approach to clue giving is ruthless efficiency.
* Come back, kids!
* Is anyone else repeatedly pausing the video to read the answer cards? Just me, then.
* Famous boogier, Michael Flatley - plus Sullivan and Adam throwing the shapes.
* Adam wants more of a turn, thank you very much.
* So the man who talks 80% with his hands is quite good at charades. That was totally worthy of the applause, though.
* Brooke's Karma Sutra will live on in our collective memory.
* And we've gone - laughing till we're short of breath, that's our speciality here at *Blampied's House of Boardgames*.
* What *exactly* is sergeant porridge?
* Sullivan's Human Centipede. Man alive. That's a theatre education well earned. We've gone again.
* How much does Tom hate charades? For his second go, he does very Tom-like charades - very calm and composed.
* Tom and the boys - fucking incels.
* I think Laurie and Adam's entire relationship to this point is distilled into the fact that Laurie insisted on running out the time watching Adam's increasingly ludicrous 'Florida Man' charade, even though we knew that he knew exactly what was on the card. Beautiful. And the fact that Sullivan is genuinely guessing the whole time just makes it better.
* It's always very slightly distressing when we change seats.
* Tilly's very good at this stuff.
* As we know, Sullivan is very fond of horses. He did resist this knowledge becoming public, in our last episode, but I'm thinking that ship has sailed far far away now.
* The 90s were wild, man.
* Laurie's one-word round was spectacular! Adam's mimes were enthusiastic and frequently disturbing.
* Unrehearsed chaotic Sullivan outro is unrehearsed and chaotic.
