The five best Game of Thrones parodies

TYRION as the wolf of Wall Street. Ned Stark as the boss of a medieval theme park. We have trawled through the internet and found the greatest Game of Thrones parodies ever made.

“Occasionally I drank with the harlots.”

IT HAS been more than a week since HBO released its fourth and final trailer for the upcoming Game of Thrones season, and as fanatical fans of the show, we’re feeling neglected.

Seriously, it’s like going through withdrawal.

It is at desperate times like these that we look skyward and thank Al Gore for endowing the internet upon this Earth.

To feed our hopeless addiction, we have trawled through the dark recesses of the online world and found the five greatest Game of Thrones parodies ever made.

There should be enough material here to get you through to the first episode of season four, which starts on April 7, with at least a skerrick of your sanity intact.

PARODY ONE — The Wolf of Wall Street

Think of this as a snappier, funnier version of the official trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been replaced by the much more handsome Peter Dinklage, and his lines have been substituted for some of Tyrion’s best moments.

For instance, there’s the part where Lord Tywin accuses his dwarf son of frittering away his days “bedding harlots and drinking with thieves”.

“Occasionally I drank with the harlots,” Tyrion responds.

The character’s personality fits that Wolf of Wall Street role perfectly. More perfectly, in fact, than Leonardo DiCaprio ever could.

PARODY TWO — Medieval Land Fun-Time World

Ned Stark is revived from the dead and the most ruthless, cutthroat show on television is transformed into one of those cheesy American comedy films. You know, the kind that normally stars Adam Sandler.

An obtusely serious man called Eddie has a week to get the realm, otherwise known as Medieval Land Fun-Time World, into tip top shape. But the other, more mischievous characters are running rings around him.

Actually, come to think of it, this one is a lot like the real show.

The fake trailer was put together by “Bad Lip Reading”, but the highlight isn’t the bad lip reading so much as the epic voice-acting.

Tyrion and Varys are particularly well done.

PARODY THREE — Seinfeld

There’s something beautifully jarring about hearing that sitcom-style laughter in the background while Ned pins Littlefinger’s neck against a wall.

The Seinfeld parody was so wildly successful that Matin Comedy, the channel behind it, renewed the show for a second episode. Two episodes!

Hey, you’ve got to give the people what they want. Which, in this case, is footage of Tyrion slapping Joffrey again, and again, and again.

PARODY FOUR — High School

The Starks are pretentious hipsters. Daenerys is an awkward loner with a dragon obsession. Robert Baratheon is a boisterous bully.

In short, Westeros is reimagined as an American high school counting down the days until the prom.

It’s all put together pretty well, and the parody stays faithful to its source material — fake hipster Sansa is just as annoying as George R.R. Martin’s real character.

PARODY FIVE — Star Wars

There’s nothing complicated or witty about this clip. It’s just the famous duel between Ned and Jaime. But instead of swords, they’re wielding frickin’ LIGHTSABERS.

It’s a geek’s greatest dream come true.
