It’s Game of Thrones season, and everyone is making parodies, memes, and what have you. Sit back and let the laughter flow.
Let’s start with Tyrion and Cersei Lannister’s appearance on Sesame Street, which may be the only thing you need to watch all week:
I loved that completely. Okay, Elmo, your next mission is to teach the Night King the value of human life.
Here’s another idea for how Cersei and Tyrion could come together:
WHERE ARE MY ELEPHANTS?
Over on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Game of Thrones cast members manned the phone lines to answer fan questions:
From Sesame Street to chlamydia jokes, nothing is off limits. Davos Seaworth: “My penis is perfect!”
Then there are the Game of Thrones premiere recaps, starting with the indispensable Gay of Thrones, hosted by Jonathan Van Ness. When Van Ness started this series, he was an ordinary hairdresser.

…Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) getting kneed in the balls over and over…
…and Gemma Whelan (Yara Greyjoy) getting the water out of her boots:
And now, a look behind the scenes as Clarke and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) film a crucial scene from “Winterfell”:
Alright, reset!
Have you heard of Chrys Reviews? If not, you’re missing out. Every week, Chrys recaps each new episode with hundreds of captioned screenshots. Enjoy their take on “Winterfell”:
Finally, you’ve probably seen a few of the hundred million Bran memes popping in the wake of him sitting around the Winterfell courtyard staring at people. Seriously, there are a ton out there, but if we had to narrow it down to the best one, we’d pick…

Laughter is coming!
