Five Thrones You Had To See Online This Week
This week in “Thanks, Internet” — just the scent of new Game of Thrones episodes was enough to throw the internet into a tailspin. Seth Meyers, Sesame Street, Key (and his buddy Peele) helped.
***SPOILER CITY IS SECONDS AWAY IF YOU'RE NOT CAUGHT UP***
1. Seth Meets The Snowman
As fans of the show are well aware, Jon Snow knows approximately bupkis about how the world works, and that includes dinner party etiquette. This week, Seth Meyers was nice enough to introduce the handsome bastard (his words, not mine) to a few of his friends. It didn't go well.
2. All Newspapers Must Die
Remember when the Washington Post was struggling? Then that one guy from Amazon bought the paper and everything started to get better? Well, now they can finally publish the illustrated guide to all 456 on-screen deaths in Game of Thrones. It's beautiful, trenchant, and might one day be part of a Journalism 101 syllabus.
3. Key And Peele And Big Dave Navarro
Key and Peele did a less comprehensive recap of Game of Thrones deaths, but theirs was way more lol and probably cost significantly less money. Will someone snatch Liam Neesons' kid and abscond to Westeros already?
4. Can You Tell Me How To Get, How To Get To Westeros
Fun with Game of Thrones isn't solely the domain of late night television, legacy media, and fanboys: Sesame Street can get in on the action, too. While keeping it totally safe for the kids, Grover and a gang of strikingly familiar characters play an strikingly familiar game of... thrones. It's called musical chairs. Let's hope kids don't want the real thing anytime soon.
5. All men must recap. But some men rerap.
