5 Game of Thrones Moments That Prove The Show Was Actually Funny
Let’s get a break from tragedy and appreciate the pure comedic gold.
Yes, it's true, comedy and humor aren't the first two things that come to mind when you think of Game of Thrones. The show was filled with gore, violence, nudity, and cruelty to the point where some viewers found it too hard to watch and had to give up.
For the most part, however, the writing was so good that it kept the majority glued to their seats.
Of course, the most memorable moments unfortunately have to do with death and destruction in one way or another. But you'd be surprised how many funny moments the show had.
Here are 5 scenes and lines that prove that things weren't always so dark in Westeros.
What’s Worth Fighting
Sometimes the show gives you a lesson in history or art, and sometimes it's a study in philosophy. The exchange between Bronn and Jamie in season 7 will certainly speak to the majority of men and make the rest laugh uncontrollably.
Blue Eyes
This might be both the most terrifying but also the funniest scene in the show. The brilliance of the dialogue between Edd and Tormund just proves how hard the jokes hit when you least expect them.
“Stay back, he’s got blue eyes!”
“I’ve always had blue eyes!”
Jon Snow Meeting Daenerys For The First Time
We all have shared a joke or two about Dany’s numerous titles which are impossible to remember and pronounce. Well, Jon seemed to be impressed and slightly intimidated by them too. “This is Jon Snow. He's King in the North,” Davos’ awkward introduction doesn’t help much either.
Born Amidst Salt And Smoke
There is nothing better than the good old brotherly rivalry scene. Although the tension between both Stannis and Renly is so thick it could be cut by a knife, the line provoked by Melisandre is a peak television comedy: “Born amidst salt and smoke? Is he a ham?”
Tormund Daydreaming About Brienne
Every woman needs a man who is as enchanted with her as Tormund is with Brienne. The hilarious dialogue he has with the Hound only proves how strong his love is and how serious his intentions are. Even if others are not so impressed.
