Hilarity roundup: Gay of Thrones, The Warp Zone, and why Daenerys is a special snowflake
We’re halfway through the fifth season of Game of Thrones, and the comedy videos, recaps, and parodies are continuing apace.
First up is the latest entry in Gay of Thrones, FunnyOrDie’s long-running series on which Game of Thrones is recapped in a hilarious, homosexually-focused fashion. This week, host Jonathan Van Ness and guest Tess Holliday, speaking for the multitudes who have no idea what’s happening, tear into “Kill the Boy.”
I’ve already cataloged many of the uproarious nicknames this show develops for the characters, but there are still a few new ones left.
- Roose Bolton: Rude Bader Ginsburg
- Missandei: Solange
- Greyscale: Winterfell leprosy AIDS
Next, the folks over at The Warp Zone (who have created some Game of Thrones-themed content before) put out a video featuring some dearly departed characters singing about their ends with help from the likes of Katy Perry and Bastille. It’s probably not the most gut-busting Thrones-themed music parody out there, but they clearly spared no expense putting it together.
Finally, a Game of Thrones fan named Chrys K uploaded a tongue-in-cheek visual recap of “Kill the Boy” to Imgur. It’s pretty remarkable how much mileage Chrys K gets out of superimposing text over screenshots.
Read the whole recap on Imgur.
