“Book of the Stranger” was a big episode of Game of Thrones, and it gave smartasses the internet over a lot to work with. Let’s dive into the Game of Thrones-themed funnies making the rounds.
First and foremost, Redditor BrainDeadPixie has done the lord’s work and made a video that celebrates what will surely become the most epic romance in the history of the show: Brienne of Tarth and Tormund Giantsbane. Watch and fall in love:
We could probably fill a whole post with Brienne-Tormund memes, but let’s just drop one more and move on. Via The Pixel Factor:
Their hearts will go on, people.
In other videos, hairdresser Jonathan Van Ness is back for another episode of Gay of Thrones, accompanied this time around by Rupaul’s Drag Race alum Trixie Mattel. Let’s hear his thoughts on “Book of the Stranger.”
The new names for this week:
- Sansa 2.0: Sansa Fierce
- Pycelle: The shovel guy from Home Alone
- Osha: Busted Homeless Nelly Furtado
- Tormund Giantsbane: Wildling Louis C.K.
- Dolorous Edd: Stringy Jesse Pinkman
I actually think he’s mentioned Wildling Louis C.K. before, but it bared repeating.
The always reliable Ozzy Man also turned in a fun recap of the episode.
Also, YouTuber EricThePooh masterfully edited lightsabers into the fight scene at the Tower of Joy from “Oathbreaker.” It is awesome.
It’s not just lightsabers, either—EricThePooh spliced in Star Wars-style wipes and music from the series. It’s all rather glorious.
What would “Book of the Stranger” be like if it took place entirely on Instagram? YouTuber Someecards has an idea.
Finally, Jason Mamoa (Khal Drogo) weighed in on the latest episode on Instagram. He hasn’t been in a scene with Emilia Clarke since Season 1, but he’s still following Daenerys’ progress with great interest.
Drogo was probably looking down on Daenerys killing those khals and laughing his ass off.
