Time to sit back, relax, and laugh at some of the funny stuff the internet has produced in the wake of the latest Game of Thrones episode, “The Bells.” No, Daenerys Targaryen burning innocent civilians isn’t funny…in context. Out of context, however…
Now that Game of Thrones is coming to an end, the actors have to get theirs while the getting is good. Below, the actors behind the Mountain, Hodor and Septa Unella for a commercial for SodaStream:
Circling back to Daenerys burning King’s Landing to the ground, did you realize that Simpsons predicted that two years ago?
Wow, The Simpsons hasn’t been ahead of its time for a long while. Good for them!
Jacob Anderson had a big week as Grey Worm. Here’s the actor “auditioning” for other roles in the series:

I’m most impressed with his Cersei impression.
As usual, plenty of people are recapping the episode on video, and as usual, some recaps are funnier than others, starting with the hilarious Jonathan Van Ness on Gay of Thrones:
The ever-reliable Ozzy Man brings it as well:

It’s no secret that Game of Thrones doesn’t have a ton of diversity in the cast. Comedy Central is out to change that:
We now break for an Uber joke:
"[SPOILERS] Aryas’ ride is here from gameofthrones"
Alright, be forewarned: this next photo is a little odd, so steel yourself:
So this appears to be actor Pilou Asbæk (Euron Greyjoy) without pants in very high socks with an umbrella on a sunny day. Apparently showrunner David Benioff took the photo. What happened here? I have so many questions. Maybe we’re all better off not knowing.
Asbæk wasn’t the only cast member posting reactions to the episode. This one from Emilia Clarke is only slightly less disturbing:
Jaime and Cersei’s death scene was heavy, but when the cameras weren’t rolling…
Lena Headey also posted a quick video of herself behind the scenes with a couple of costars:
That’s Anton Lesser as Qyburn and…oh, it’s Asbæk again. Pants on, dude.

Headey was posting a few more serious images, too, like this one reminding us that there no love lost between her and Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei):
And finally, she wrote a heartfelt goodbye to her character:
Now I’m getting misty…this was supposed to be a funny post. Quick, here’s Daniel Portman (Podrick Payne) popping in and out of his armor:
You know that a non-zero amount of people have named their daughter “Khaleesi”? It’s probably not looking like such a good idea right now…
"What were they thinking? from freefolk"
Speaking of Dany, everyone is wondering exactly why she attacked the city after it had rung the bells of surrender. One possibility:
"Oh gods oh fuck Dany has Airpods in, she can’t hear the bells from freefolk"
One more episode left!
