10 Hilarious House of the Dragon Memes (More Killer Than Blood & Cheese)
It’s not always about the lore or the next season release date. Sometimes, it’s about exhaling really hard through your nose.
10. Viserys Just Wasn’t Cut Out for It
Viserys Targaryen was definitely not having the life of his time being a King, always miserable from the burden of his responsibility. He wasn’t even a good King, to be honest — but unlike good ol’ Bobby B, he was a good man trying his best.
9. If Daemon Could Read, He’d Be Very Upset
The entire Season 1 of House of the Dragon was basically Daemon Targaryen being exiled over and over again, pissing off to kill people somewhere else, and returning like nothing ever happened — looking slick as Seven Hells. What a menace.
8. Listen to Your Moms, Little Kings
While Alicent is struggling after joining the "We're against women on the Iron Throne" team (which, surprise-surprise, didn’t let her sit the Iron Throne, too), this one serves as a friendly reminder that even the kings need to just listen to what their mom says. Just in case the idea to drunkenly ride your dragon to war doesn't pay off… Smh.
7. He Created an Environment SO Toxic…
It was genuinely frustrating to choose only one Toxic Daemon meme as they’re just so good and plentiful, but this one just about sums it up. Daemon Targaryen is a huge PoS you’d hate in real life, but in House of the Dragon? Boy do we love him.
6. There Are Two Kinds of HotD “Plot”
Unlike Game of Thrones ( which only had three dragons), House of the Dragon could have gotten away with anything, between the countless dragons and the Emma D’Arcy—Olivia Cooke duo. That’s what people refer to as “the Plot” of HotD.
5. The Legacy of Starbucks Strikes Again
No matter how great House of the Dragon is, no one’s ever forgetting about the notorious Starbucks cup from Game of Thrones. Ever. Fortunately, the prequel series hasn’t messed up like that yet — but the Starbucks prophecy is remembered.
4. Daemon Having Special Murder Fits
One thing Daemon Targaryen’s really good at is having people have unfortunate incidents. Spouses, precisely. But he can only get away with killing so many wives before you realize that tha man has a dedicated “hoodie” for murdering them!
3. Riches to Rags Success Story
We only got House of the Dragon because people really wanted to see the Targaryens at their peak, but the contrast is just so stark! Pun unintended. Dany and Viserys had nothing on the likes of Rhaenyra and Daemon… Especially not gold.
2. Daemon and Jaime Were the Same
Jaime Lannister was ridiculed for being in love with his sister, but for House Targaryen, that was the norm. Daemon’s questionable attitude to his wives could be explained by their too-dark hair, couldn’t it? He was very much like Jaime, at that.
1. Christon Cole, the Worst Criminal Ever
Typically, you don’t want to confess to your crimes. At least, not right away. Ser Christon was apparently not aware of that — and folded instantly. If you’re this terrible at remaining calm under pressure, maybe just don’t commit crimes at all?
