It’s Thanksgiving. Fill it with laughter. Here’s some funny stuff.
Thanksgiving is a time to come together with family and friends, which is wonderful, except when it isn’t. Sometimes, awkward situations can occur. There may even be insults lobbed. We only hope nothing this year will get as bad as the sniping match between the Lannisters and Martells during Joffrey’s wedding, which Redditor KlebbTheKunt has conveniently outfitted with a counter.
And if you feel even a whiff of desire to challenge anyone to a trial by combat, take a time out.
In parody, former Daily Show host Jon Stewart recently hosted a star-studded charity event to raise money for autism research. It was called A Night of Too Many Stars. It aired on HBO, which meant that Game of Thrones-themed marketing was inevitable:
The event was pretty successful, which we mostly attribute to invoking Jon Snow.
Elsewhere, YouTuber steve continues his unorthodox journey through the show. His deal is that he’s never seen Game of Thrones before, and is watching it completely out of order, one episode at a time. This time, he makes it to “Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things,” the fourth episode of season 1. Does he get it remotely right?
“Yes, now dump [hot wax] on [Viserys’] face and kill him.” Prescient!
Any children of the ’90s in the audience? If so, you might be interested to know that 1) Boom! Studios produces a comic based on Rugrats, a popular Nickelodeon cartoon from back in the day; and 2) They did a Game of Thrones issue.

Finally, George R.R. Martin made the The Onion, which announced the substance of the next Song of Ice and Fire novel. Enjoy an excerpt:
Explaining that the new novel would be a radical departure from his previous work, best-selling author George R.R. Martin reportedly told readers “Fuck you” while announcing Monday that the next book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series will feature pixies and Dracula. “Guess what, shitheads, this next installment is going to be loaded with fairies and vampires, and everything will take place in the Millennium Falcon,” said Martin, raising both middle fingers in the air as he revealed the new book would be called Suck My Dick, You Fucking Dweebs. “Not only is Jon Snow not in this next one, but you’re going to find out that he was a figment of everyone’s imagination the whole time.”
Interesting. We’ll be watching this one closely.
