The Technical Difficulties' Prizes
The Technical Difficulties is a YouTube channel of four British gents with great discussion chemistry, and at the end of their shows it has become traditional to award a prize, typically a fictional convoluted pun. Other shows of theirs, also containing such silly prizes, can be found on other earlier channels such as Matt & Tom and TomScottGo. This list attempts to combine all known prizes of all known shows.
