"Everyone fights to sit on the world's most uncomfortable chair, while completely ignoring the invasion of ice zombies that threatens to kill them all." ~ Honest Trailers - Game of Thrones Vol. 1

Script[]

From fiction’s most notorious serial killer (George R.R. Martin), comes the TV adaptation of the medieval encyclopedia/ Dungeon Master’s Guide/ porno that is... Game of Thrones. [Sings theme song] God, that song’s cool!

Get ready for the show that has viewers of the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next, and as people who’ve read the books acting all smug because they already know. It’s the abusive show you keep watching no matter how many times it hurts you (Sansa: How long do I have to look?) .Full of disturbing imagery like: incest, beheadings, attempted child murder, more incest, and that’s just the first episode!

Travel to Westeros, a place where everything is the thing of nouns. (Robert Baratheon: The Hand of the King. Sam: Light of the Seven. Brienne: Brienne of Tarth. Ygritte: Lord of Bones. Beric: Lord of Light. Tywin Lannister: Master of Coin. Daenerys: Mother of Dragons. Shagga: Son of Dolf. Melisandre: Son of Fire! Melisandre: Warrior of Light. Tyrion: Bank of Braavos. Ned Stark: Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North.) Watch as everyone fights to sit in the world’s most uncomfortable chair, while completely ignoring an invasion of ice zombies that threatens to kill them all. Seriously, someone should really get on that!

Meet unforgettable heroes (Arya Stark is shown), who were still alive when we wrote this Honest Trailer (Barristan Selmy is shown): Jon Snow, a mopey bastard who doesn’t know anything (Ygritte: You know nothing, Jon Snow.); Tyrion Lannister, a character who’s so awesome.[Tyrion slaps Joffrey] Imp slap! Peter Dinklage will get every good dwarf role until he dies or Warwick Davis kills him; And Daenerys Targaryen, a super hot queen obsessed with her dragons. (Daenerys: Where are my dragons?) She’s out for vengeance against the people who killed her family... [riding a horse] eventually... [walking] one of these days... [walking] Can we just fast-forward to that part? Watch as these heroes struggle to end the reign of King Justin Bieber (Joffrey: Leave her face. I like her pretty.) God, if he doesn’t die this season, I’m gonna f*cking kill him myself! I f*cking hate that kid!

Ride along on an adventure where any lead character can die, whether you’re Sean Bean [Ned Stark], Sean Bean’s wife [Catelyn Stark], Sean Bean’s best friend [Robert Baratheon], Sean Bean’s son [Robb Stark], Sean Bean’s daughter-in-law [Talisa], Sean Bean’s family dogs [Direwolves], or Sean Bean’s unborn grandkid. All men must die... who are in any way close to Sean Bean.

So begin the epic journey, so long and complicated, we hope the creator doesn’t eat himself to death before he’s finished writing it. And settle in for a show with so many monologues, HBO will desperately try to keep your attention by any bewbs necessary (Montage of female nudity). Not that I’m complaining. Bewbs!

Starring the ten characters whose names you actually remember. [Daenerys, Jon Snow, Robb Stark, Ned Stark, Tyrion Lannister, Jamie Lannister, Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark, Joffery Baratheon and Arya Stark] And all these other characters whose names you actually don’t remember, like: [Littlefinger] The Sneaky Guy; [Varys] The Sneaky Bald Guy; [Khal Drogo] Carl Drago; [Renly Baratheon and Loras Tyrell] Those Gay Dudes; [Jorah Mormont] Lord Friend Zone; [Tywin Lannister] Grumpy Old Dad; [Stannis Baratheon] That’s the same person, right?; [Sansa] Sand- San- Sansa?; [Bran Stark] Bronn?; [Ser Bronn] Bran?; [Robin Arryn] Bronn again?; [Sam] Sam? No, Sam’s the fat one from Lord of the Rings; [Melisandre] She’s the one who had a demon baby!; [Theon Greyjoy] That’s the guy that got his dick cut off; [Margaery Tyrell] I don’t remember her name, but she’s super hot; [Shae] That’s Tyrion’s hooker girlfriend!; [Hodor] Hodor! That’s Hodor!; [Xaro Xhoan Daxos] Uhhhh...; [Lord Commander Mormont] Uhhh...' [Walder Frey] Now you’re just messing with me; [Ser Davos Seaworth] No idea; [Jaqen H'ghar] Faceless Assassin! That guy’s awesome!; [Grand Maester Pycelle] Not a clu; [Rodrik Cassel] No; [Osha] Uh-uh, [Benjen Stark] Nope; [Balon Greyjoy] Nope; [Syrio Forel] Nope; [Luwin] Dunno; [Mance Rayder] I Got Nothin’; [Beric] Yeah, none of these are ringing a bell; [Barristan Selmy] Go make up your own names, nerds!

Game of Thrones.

It’s kinda like a history test, but with dragons and boobs!

If you put any spoilers in the comments, I’ll kill you. But to all my book bros: R + L = J. You know what I’m talking about.

Reception[]

Honest Trailers - Game of Thrones Vol. 1 has a 96.4% approval rating from YouTube viewers. The Huffington Post described the Honest Trailer as "beautifully blunt." In the same article, the Huff Post wrote that Screen Junkies have "boiled the series' plot down to 'everyone fights to sit on the world's most uncomfortable chair, while completely ignoring the invasion of ice zombies that threatens to kill them all,' and really, that's not far from the truth." Slate praised the "brilliant minds at Screen Junkies" for mocking "everything from Westerosi nomenclature ... to perhaps inevitably, its tendency to offer naked ladies as eye candy while old men with beards deliver monologues." The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Screen Junkies "lovingly mocks" Game of Thrones, and also commented on Screen Junkies' enthusiasm for breasts, noting "the series' gravely voiced narrator is quite fond of saying "boooobs" -- and the nudity-heavy Game of Thrones provides him with plenty of opportunity for that."

In 2019, USA Today named Screen Junkies' two Game of Thrones Honest Trailers as among the top 10 best Game of Thrones parodies of all time. The site wrote that all the parodies were "amusing tributes" to the show that "offer humorous relief from the onslaught of battles, bastards and beheadings."
