Oh, Eurovision, you truly are our favourite event of the year.
The glamorous outfits, the drinking games, the sometimes questionable performances – it was truly a Saturday night to remember… However, we do remember very little. It’s become an annual tradition for us to gather together and watch the music event, and as usual our fave YouTubers got in on the action as well, hosting parties and becoming entranced by this year’s entrants.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or had your internet disconnected over the weekend, in which case we’re incredibly sorry for your loss), then you would have had your Twitter timelines filled with Eurovision tweets. Seriously, we doubt anyone was talking about anything else! So we’ve rounded up a few of our faves…
Let the drinking games begin!
This is your 40 minute warning! Here’s my set of drinking rules to have an amazing Eurovision party at home! Have the best time Europe! 💜💜💜 pic.twitter.com/RZ497vUdUb

Don’t lie, we know everyone watches Eurovision for the drinking games. They’re surprisingly creative.
Stale memes
Okay they’re getting DISQUALIFIED for dabbing #CZE #Eurovision
— Scola Dondo (@ScolaDondo) May 12, 2018
We’re in full agreement here, Scola Dondo. Who let Evan Edinger into Eurovision anyway?
Your first Eurovision gathering?!
Okay so I'm at my first #Eurovision gathering and I've been ASSIGNED a country?!
So um…GO GERMANY!!! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🙌👊😩😩😩
— Peter Kingston (@petesjams) May 12, 2018
How was this your first Eurovision party, Peter Kingston?! We think we need to have a little talk.
Phil?!
This year for #Eurovision, I'm rooting for @AmazingPhil. #UKR pic.twitter.com/r2KpxdcZN4
— Benjamin Cook (@benjamin_cook) May 12, 2018
We’re gutted Phil Lester didn’t let us know he’d be participating in this year’s competition. What an exclusive that would have been!

This tweet from NeonFiona shows how Eurovision always brings out everyone’s true colours. If you’ve been wondering who you can trust and who you can’t, invite them over to watch the competition. You’ll learn pretty quickly who your true friends are by who they root for.
No-one knows the words
No one knows the words yet #Slovenia, you can't ask them to sing along.#Eurovision
— Jazza John (@JazzaJohn) May 12, 2018
Come on, Slovenia, get with the programme! We’re here for good times and drinking games, not for actually learning the words to songs.
You’ve got our vote
SHE STOOD UP. SHE STOOD UP. BRAVA. Also who were those ghosts? WHO IS THAT MAN? #LTU #Eurovision
— Daniel J. Layton (@DanielJLayton) May 12, 2018
We know who Daniel J. Layton was rooting for and we can’t blame him. Nothing beats a sit-down-to-stand-up.
Bring out the pets
I don’t give a shit about people’s real husbands and boyfriends joining them onstage, wake me up when they bring out someone’s real dog #Eurovision
— Lex Croucher (@lexcanroar) May 12, 2018
If we don’t see at least one pet, whether it be dog, cat, or gerbil, during next year’s Eurovision competition, then we’re boycotting. Who’s with us?
“That ball sweat must be fearsome”
Has Austria really got vinyl pants on? That ball sweat must be fearsome. #Eurovision
— The Weebl (@TheWeebl) May 12, 2018
Did Austria’s performance remind anyone else of that episode of Friends where Ross wears leather pants?
SO SOFT
Why are all these people so attractive and why does she look SO SOFT #Eurovision @eurovision #EST pic.twitter.com/nQJByFxxhA
— Niki and Sammy (@nikinsammy) May 12, 2018
Leave it to Niki and Sammy Albon to ask the questions we’re all wondering. Why is everyone performing at Eurovision so attractive and soft-looking? How is that even possible?
Graham’s expert commentary was noted
Opera singer: *hits amazing note*
Graham Norton: "Nice teeth"
😂 #eurovision— Penny Kate Starr (@Starrlett20) May 12, 2018
Leave it to Graham Norton to completely ignore the performances and comment on practically anything else.
You never know what to expect!
OH WHAT SOMEONE STOLE HER MIC?! She’s pushing for it now, what class #GBR #Eurovision
— Ellen Rose (@icklenellierose) May 12, 2018
That's the most interesting moment for #GBR at #Eurovision in years and it wasn't even due to our act…
— Matt Hargreaves (@MattLobster) May 12, 2018
HOLY SHIT!!! WELL DONE #SuRie YOU HANDLED THAT WELL! CHAMPION #Eurovision #GBR
— Roly (@RolyUnGashaa) May 12, 2018
Ellen Rose, Matt Hargreaves, and Roly West weren’t the only ones stunned when an audience member ran on stage during SuRie’s performance for Great Britain. Anyone else would have stopped performing then and there, but, like a true champ, SuRie kept on singing, stealing the hearts of everyone in Europe.
Remember them?
Wow Pentatonix had a rebrand. #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/5OyB1GRCAv
— ˗ˏˋ niki ˊˎ˗ (@NikiAlbon) May 12, 2018
We were wondering what Pentatonix had been up to lately. Now we know!
Bring on the cheesiness!
#MDA Is the first song so far that feels and looks even remotely #Eurovision. Cheesy and entertaining!
— Rebecca Jane Brown (@BeckieJBrown) May 12, 2018
We were waiting for some good old-fashioned Eurovision cheesiness. Now this is what we call entertaining!
You Swedes, you
Does every Swedish person have a nice face?? Also am I the only person loving this song? Everyone else in this room is hating it although it might be the gyrating of the hips. Which I like. Quite a lot. #SWE #Eurovision
— Emma Blackery (@emmablackery) May 12, 2018
Why does everyone from Sweden look so lovely? Also, who ever said gyrating hips are a bad thing? We, like Emma Blackery, think it’s an excellent dance move.
Are we at a rock show?
Revenge of the secondary school talent show rock band #Eurovision #HUN
— Seán Connolly (@TheSonicScrew) May 12, 2018
OH OHH OHHH R0CK BAND ALERT THIS IS WELL EMO. #HUN #Eurovision pic.twitter.com/rliRxzsmOV
— Kier Kemp (@KierKemp) May 12, 2018
It appears we weren’t the only one brought back to our teenage rock roots with Hungary’s performance.
YAAAASSSS, IRELAND!
YOU GO IRELAND!!!
🇮🇪 #IRL #eurovision pic.twitter.com/CZEVReLVbY
— 🏳️🌈Jessica Kellgren-Fozard🏳️🌈 (@JessicaOOTC) May 12, 2018
We love how inclusive Ireland’s performance was on Saturday night. What a great representation of the LGBTQ+ community. Tons of our faves, including Jessica Kellgren-Fozard, were in agreement with us.
The winner is…
Congrats Israel! The new chicken dance looks great! #Eurovision
— Jacksepticeye (@Jack_Septic_Eye) May 12, 2018
Congrats are in order for the Israeli entry, which took home the crown this Eurovision. We can’t wait to try out the new chicken dance at our next party. (And if you ask us, Sean McLoughlin can’t either.)
Another successful Eurovision was celebrated by all!
Can you believe we have to wait another year for until the next contest? We don’t know if we can wait that long! The performances, the excitement, the parties – we LIVE for Eurovision. How will we manage to pass the time until the next one? Well, checking out our other amazing articles would be a start:
