party game idea: My Compliments To Your Majesty

need 3+ players (preferably more)

players take turns being Your Majesty, who will be the judge for the round

each round, starting with the player to the left of Your Majesty, the other players take turns coming up with a devastating insult for Your Majesty, beginning with "Your Majesty is like a/an...", for example, "Your Majesty is like a moldy orange."

Understandably, Your Majesty is shocked and appalled at the insult and will require the insulting player to justify this, whereupon that player will deflect, and say it is in fact an insult created by another player ("It was one of Bob's!")

The called out player then has to come up with a justification for the insult to actually be a compliment. For example, "Your Majesty is like a moldy orange" could be justified as "Full of life and activity, with a slight yet appealing citrusy scent"

The called out player may stall for time, following filibuster rules - you can keep talking as long as you're actually saying something. So, "Well you see the thing is, what I meant by that.." is allowed, but just saying "um" over and over is not.

If the called out player successfully comes up with a justification, they may then insult Your Majesty in turn, redirecting to yet another player, who has not yet been redirected to.

Once every player has had the opportunity to both insult and justify (ending with a justification from the first insulter), Your Majesty ruminates briefly, and decides whose justification that round was best. That player gets to be Your Majesty in the next round.

If you fail to justify an insult in time, you're out of the round, and any other player (who has not insulted or justified yet) may step in to justify the insult instead, taking over, and then insulting in turn.

It is encouraged (but not required) to speak in a formal, Victorian upper crusty manner, in the style of Oscar Wilde.

(This is shamelessly based on a Monty Python skit)

The entire topic of should comedians should be given a free pass when it comes to offending minorities. Its jokes right? Or is here something more to it than that?
