Red Wedding > For the Watch > Ned Stark behaeding
How about that scene from cye where Larry’s in the bathroom, hiding a water bottle in his pants and that little girl hugs him, starts crying and screams “mommy mommy, that bald man is in the bathroom and there’s something hard in his pants!”
Forget all this nonsense, THAT is the most shocking hbo moment in history. I’m pretty sure I almost evacuated into the back of my pants laughing the first time i saw that
Good ol' GAME OF THRONES!
Ugh I knew I shouldn't have watched. I don't watch HBO the only ones I've watched is true blood and I just started GOT just finished the 4th season. I figured from the cover that only one GOT surprise was Neds death which I knew about..then I get to #1 and then I'm like oh crap.
Whats shocking about this? Only the spoon thing was a bit strange
the wire was the real shit, big character death that came out of nowhere, that's how one of the most memorable deaths are made
now look at the walking dead, imagine if omar had a shoot out with that kid for half an episode and then music intensifies and he finally dies after 30 minutes
The red wedding is the most shocking tv moment of all time yet on watchmojo it doesn't even reach top 10 moments on HBO lol. Instead they show us the money shot which is obviously waayyyy more shocking
chris dead should be number 1
Eat da booty. Hooray for beer.
god I need to rewatch game of thrones
Adebisi's death in Oz
I thought the red wedding was more shocking
Eating a white girl ass. Amazingly hot.
print pale settlement resemble aside pilot courage re regarding.
Idk, the Red Wedding was WAY more shocking than Ned's death.
Came here to see how many "Where's the Red Wedding" comments
No red wedding?
Yeah Red wedding wasn't that shocking. Soft.
This is poor, lazy work, Watch Mojo (Spoilers follow)! Your list seems like it was created by AI that knew nothing of HBO, the shows in question, or TV in general. For starters, mispronouncing Adriana La Cerva’s name (it is pronounced ‘serva’ not ‘kurva,’) is pure laziness – watching a single episode would have solved that problem for you.and not only did you not watch any Sopranos episodes, fans expected her to die because her multi-season story arc as an FBI informant could only go in one way. The way she was killed was surprising at the time, but no one was ‘shocked’ that she died. The deaths of Richie Aprile and Ralph were far more shocking than the ones you mentioned.
Then you picked Jimmy and Gillian Darmody’s incest in Boardwalk Empire when Jimmy’s death – which happened only one episode later – was FAR more shocking. It happened in 2011 and it STILL surprises me that the show went in such a bold direction
I don’t know who wrote this list, but it is awful, and far worse than that is how lazy it is.
Ned Stark should be 1. Christopher 2.
Should have had the Band of Brothers scene where they find the concentration camp
Omar from The Wire is not a drug dealer, he just robs drug dealers with his sawed of shotgun. Of you hear him whistling, its to late.
hmm red wedding?
Shame!
Shame!
Shame!
😮😔😏
There are a couple of True Blood scenes that would've qualified as well. Head twisting sex for example!
