Hilarity Roundup: Jon Snow impersonators and LeBron James as Drogon
Kit Harington appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and was treated to three guys who impersonated Jon Snow, Kit’s alter ego on Game of Thrones, quite well. Check it out.
While all three did quite well, the first guy reading from the Frosted Flakes box was probably my favorite. Although the third guy absolutely nailed Varys, Littlefinger, and Samwell Tarly…I mean come on, someone give this kid his own variety show already. His Jon Snow was probably the funniest, just because he was reading from a Pantene bottle, and we all know that the hair makes the man, at least in this particular instance.
Kit seemed to take it all in stride and was a good sport about the flattering impersonations. He even provided his own read of the line “Winter is coming.” Of course, there’s no substitute for the real thing, is there?
Jon Snow’s imitable accent wasn’t the only Game of Thrones-inspired bit of hilarity to surface over the past couple of days. Grantland produced a video that masterfully recreates the events of Daznak’s Pit using the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers as an inspiration. Warning: you will probably want to swallow your drink, have a seat, and make sure to clear the general area around your computer…it’s that funny.
I’ve seen a lot of Game of Thrones parodies, and I can honestly say that this is probably the most hilarious one of them all. Perhaps it’s the fact that the NBA Finals have been extra great this year or maybe it’s that the idea of LeBron James as a dragon is just that hilarious, but I’ve watched this video over and over and it never gets old. “Score.”
