Hilarity Pile: Ozzy Man and Gay of Thrones review “Dragonstone,” and other funny stuff
By Dan Selcke
Game of Thrones came back into our lives last Sunday with “Dragonstone,” and the internet promptly turned out approximately 11,000 parodies, jokes, and other funny bits of ephemera. We’re here to give you a sampling, starting with Ozzy Man’s hilarious summary of the first episode of season 7:
But Ozzy is far from the only Game of Thrones comedy recapper around. Jonathan Van Ness of Funny or Die’s Gay of Thrones series is also back at it.
Alt Schwift X even had an advance review of the SECOND episode of the season. Click on for her big revelations.
Seriously, though, that one had me rolling.
There were plenty of episode edits out there, too, like this one of how Lord Commander Dolorous Edd should have reacted when Bran told him about the danger coming his way.
Naturally, Ed Sheeran’s appearance inspired some fans to get creative.
Some of it was better-spirited than others.
And this one…I’ll just let this one speak for itself:
In cast interviews, several of them played a rousing game of “Betray, Marry, Kill,” which is what it sounds like.
But when they got to the San Diego Comic-Con, all they wanted to do was dance.
Now that “Dragonstone” has finally aired after a seemingly endless wait, Emilia Clarke felt free to post this behind-the-scenes pic:
Keep off, indeed.
Over at Vanity Fair, Aiden Gillen lent his inestimable recap abilities to summarize the entirety of season 6 in five minutes.
That’s a lotta info. How does anybody follow this show?
Finally, Business Insider reports that Florida circuit judge Robin S. Rosenbaum quoted Game of Thrones when ruling on a free speech case. The case involved whether a police officer could be fired from his job because he expressed support for a political candidate. Naturally, Rosenbaum snuck a Tyrion quote into her opinion, specifically this bit from season 6: “”A wise man once said a true history of the world is a history of great conversations in elegant rooms.”
She used it as a segue to talk about how the great political conversations couldn’t exist without the First Amendment. Clever, right? The court ended up ruling for the officer.
