This is a big one for me. When I released my first season 8 video a year ago, I had 841 subscribers. It's crazy to think how much things changed just because I screamed about something I used to love. It's all because every single one of us used to love this show. It brought us together with how amazing it was, and galvanised that connection with how terrible it became. Oh, what could have been. See you next week.
Subscribe for angry guys and purple eyes.
Next week? what's next week?
@@alingeorge1138 Episode 2, of course!
@@Glidus viseryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
also holy shit a week?!
Glidus Starting to feel like Georgie with all of us bugging you for more? 😊
@@deceptivelysmallman One week, as it was in the time of the original pisstake.
"It's quite dark."
"Yes, it's very poorly lit."
LOL
I thought he was gonna hit her with a "that's racist" lol
Best part of the video
i dont get it
@@theOwnuts The scene is so poorly lit we barely see anything.
@@billboardbraggins1443 foreshadowing for the Battle of Winterfell lol
The opening was the best GoT recap I’ve ever heard. Congrats.
As a welsh person myself, i completely agree.
*I love that he gave tribute to Billy Joel AND reignited my disdain for Game of Thrones in the opening 30 seconds with the new hit classic, "We Didn't Start Wildfire"*
This is going to be good
Yeah, I chuckled when he started rhyming, then grew gradually more impressed with it, then spat my drink at my phone when he revealed it was a Billy Joel cover.
another awesome recaps are the one done by the Unabashed books snob on their podcast, they recapped each episodes of season 7 and 8 with the voice and style of the annoncer guy from Legends of Korra, it's hilarious. Check the Unabashed Book Snob podcast
There's some actual rythmic poetry in there.
Dany shows no reaction to her rapist bully brother being executed - D&D: "Her reactions are chilling and cold-blooded, it was clear that she was going to go insane."
Arya smirks as she has dozens of Frey family members, some of which certain to have taken no part in the Red Wedding whatsoever, die a slow death from poisonous wine, after having cut the throat of a 95 year old man and baking his two elders sons into pies: - D&D: "She's such a strong woman, what a badass, she went through a lot, they deserved it anyway."
Beht... Every time a Targaryen is born the gods flip a coin though...
Yes, D&D are dumb and so is their writing, but Daenerys never was good, benevolent kween in a first place and books will probably have the same final. Her interaction with Mirri for example or how she doesn't mind to kill a few innocents to instill fear, or how she threats to take her birthright with fire and blood, or how she squeals with joy when her warlord husband tells how he will rape and pillage in her homeland, or...
@@user-pz6xu8so6o - THAT 👍🏻 !
No good deed goes unpunished. Danny has good intentions, I'm over this I told you so bs, if you are over 30 you will realize that life is going to put a douche and a turd sandwich for choices in front of you all the time. I get the whole not belonging anywhere bs and it kills you slowly from the inside, if you are a man you will never get it. If you are an abused female sometimes the only safe reaction is not to give one at all.
I got a better analogy. Tyrion murdered his own abusive father with little to no reaction and instead of going mad he got boring. I disregard this show as canon because dumb and dumber butchered all of G.R.R. Martin's characters. I also get so tired of hearing how fate supposedly flips a coin and a Targaryen either turns up normal or nuts. Over 300 years there have only been five crazy Targaryens. It seems like that family were beating the odds pretty well.
Sansa punishing innocent children because they have the wrong name. Joffrey would be fucking proud.
Yes but your status wealth and well-being is all based on your last name that's what it is all about.
They wouldn't be thrown away from the castles. They just wouldn't be lords of them which is what has to happen anyway as they arr children.
@@bananaforscale1283 no child lords usually have regents to rule for them until they grow up and start rulling. It's not the same thing as the family outright losing the castle.
@@masterplokoon8803 There's also the minor issue that the people inside might not want to leave and they'd have to waste time, men, and resources on two sieges. Just because the lord and his eldest sons are dead doesn't mean there aren't about 100 uncles and cousins looking to take the job. Doesn't mean all those soliders who marched home after Robb killed their leader aren't hold up inside.
Oh right, this is the show that leaves castles completely unmanned and defended.
Sansas entire arc is learning from her tormentors. She's ends up as the Northern Cersei by the end of it.
I know it’s only a minor detail but Arya calling Sansa the smartest person she ever met is very infuriating. Think who’s she met: Ned, Tywin, Tyrion, the Faceless Men, Roose Bolton, fucking Hotpie. What has Sansa done that is so smart?
Hot Pie: Finally, reconditioned.
Ned isn't very smart.
@@saulgoodman5623 sure as fuck still smarter than Sansa
@fabRic_jAck I wouldn't go so far as to say that Ned isn't smart, it's just that very often, the 'smart' thing to do goes against his morals. Though he could never see tywin, varys, littlefinger's schemes coming
Arya never met Tyrion or Roose. Tywin she briefly knew for a few days but not enough to determine he was some amazing genius. all she knew about Tywin is that her big brother kept beating him in battle. i pose the question back to you, what did Tywin do in front of Arya that was so smart?
I'm fairly sure there was a scene in Season 5 explaining how Faceless Men magic can perform literal gender and height changes but it was cut in favour of a few extra scenes of Arya sweeping floors lol
Sweeping Floors
nope - it's Official Canon that The Faceless Men use props & mummery to get around height/build differences. their training isn't all poisons, reflexes, and autopsies! cosmetics, acting, stalking targets prior to impersonating them... APPARENTLY BEING THE MOST INFAMOUS ASSASSINS IN PLANETOS ACTUALLY INVOLVES YEARS OF GRUELLING STUDY AND COMMITMENT TO THE ART OF STEALTH?
it's almost like they think of their recruits as a Serious Investment and all the Death Cultists are Busy/Devout about everything instead of having petty fights with each other as "tests" or whatever. OH WELL.
@@BattyButtercup in fairness, the show doesn't have to have the exact same canon
@@BattyButtercup but it would be nice if it had SOME lol
@@BattyButtercup well they do that when they don't use faces, we don't know in the books how changing face work yet, we got one chapter of Arya using one with not much in details and she still a young girl with that face...
After the book material runs out, Arya becomes an unkillable slayqueen ninja and D&D's insert fan fiction character.
Her cringe levels are OVER 9,000!
And Alys Kastark it's very much more important in the books, moreover she helped Jon, pheraps saving the life of Stannis Baratheon!
The stoned hordes recording their reactions in Burlington Bar loved her. After the book material ran out, it was far easier for D&D to appease them by dumbing down the characters.
It happened before they ran out of materials, her chapters in Bravos have little relation to what happens in the books
It sucks, because she was my favorite character in the books.
Even worse is little miss cringe Maisie Williams thinking she’s so cool bc D&D write this progressive woke dogshit
See, the message of the "Arya as Walder Frey" scene is that if someone wrongs you the only right way to respond is kill them and their entire family. Looks like Tywin was right all along! Who would have thought?
Aaaaaah, so if someone insults me I'll have to Kill him and his family? Hell yeah!
@@pascalschulz5894 And it is cool and badass.
Well, if you have received this treatment, that IS the right response.
How the fuck is she such an “amazing assassin” she only trains with a fucking staff that’s it, she fails her two assassination tests by the faceless men and then she kills one of them and they just let her go?
But she didn’t kill the woman or the children. Tywin eliminates entire families and destroys their castles. Arya didn’t do that even though it’s necessary for her goal. The message is just revenge without thought or a long term plan. It’s completely reckless and idiotic. We don’t even get a scene with her and Edmure.
"Why does King's Landing still has the Baratheon sigil?"
E X A C T L Y
Because Baratheon still holds the Iron Throne. Robert Baratheon takes the throne from the Targaryens. Straightforward. The next two kings are his* sons through Cersei, and therefore also Baratheons. The next ruler is Cersei Lannister, but her authority comes from her marriage to Robert and *his* name, not hers. From outward perception, the Baratheons have sat on the Iron Throne since Robert took it (and I should specifically note that Lannisters never 'took' it or declared it theirs). With the benefit of full knowledge, the sons weren't legitimate heirs, but Cersei was legitimately married, so arguably the Baratheon stag is more appropriate now than it was with either of her sons on the throne.
@@ourotayuun The Hell are you talking about lol? Cersei is literally coronated as “Cersei of the House Lannister, First of her Name” by Qyburn. Joffrey and Tommen may have always publicly recognized themselves as Baratheons, but Cersei most certainly doesn’t. At no point ever, in books or show, is she referred to as Cersei Baratheon, because the wives of Kings and royals do not take their family names, unlike the wives of lower lords. As if it wasn’t obvious enough, there’s not a single stag to be found anywhere in KL after she takes power, except in the title sequence, because she instead drapes every possible surface with Lions.
And Cersei didn’t take the throne by virtue of her marriage to Robert or her motherhood of Joff and Tom, neither of those things matters in anyway according to standard succession law. She effectively took the throne by Conquest, simply by being the last person standing in the city with any kind of military and started a new, distinctly Lannister dynasty.
@@ourotayuunno. By that logic, it is public that the ruling belongs to Baratheon I.e. stannis. The signup should’ve been changed to Lannister. She was queened as Lannister and by having the Baratheon stag only serves to give more righteousness to stannis’ claim
@Wolf6119 The Queen Regent is a temporary ruler awaiting an valid heir capable of taking the throne. Had Ned Stark acted as Regent as Robert intended, the sigil wouldn't have been a dire wolf. House Lannister, as far as those who chronicle history and care for the technicality, Cersei still holds the Throne in trust no matter *how* she dresses things up. The simple matter of declaring the throne for House Lannister in some official capacity *would* be taking it by conquest, but why bother?
This is a screwed up time in Westeros, and Cersei functionally has what she wanted. Why would she take that extra step to turn herself from legitimate ruler to usurper for no functional gain, especially with all the active upheaval already going on? The stag is correct, even with a Lion on the throne, even with no clear line of ascension. It accurately reflects the state of the in-universe politics as far as I can see.
By Season 7 the show had more or less abandoned this kind of nitty-gritty and become about the game pieces rather than the state of the board. Bet your ass Cersei didn't, though. Even if she wanted to make that official (which as far as I can tell was never her plan, content as she was for the Lannisters to be the functional power behind the throne rather than concerned with petty technicality), that's a tomorrow-problem.
@lukemaher7901 She's technically Queen Regent, ruling on behalf of the heir, which *should* be a Baratheon. That there, ya know, isn't one is unfortunate, and resolving what that means, finding an appropriate heir, and determining which House technically holds the mandate to rule would have to be done after the dust settles. It says nothing about Stannis' claim, as that was always in contention, and he died before the last of Robert's known heirs anyway.
Technically Joffrey and Tommen are Baratheons…
Your mum has a better character arc than most GOT characters in her one minute of this video
got is niet echt aivd schorem
I thought for a moment you were insulting my mum there. This is what the internet has done to us.
“Great, that doesnt answer my question, have fun freezing to death”
I sometimes have a tough time believing that the little girl fencing with needle or serving as cupbearer for tywin lannister turned into the worst character, where I can't even tolerate her physical presence in a review of a scene with her in it. The only character that even comes close is the smartest person she has ever met.
The show started with my favourite character being arya... :(
I remember at the end of season 4 that I was so happy for Arya to have escaped Westeros. Maybe spending some time away from that place that at every turn has tried to kill her, harm her, imprison her or do anything bad to her, would help her heal and gain clarity.
But no, she turned into an edgelord that supposedly is a fan favorite, but is truly only a casual-favorite because of self-insertism...
@@sandrols7 hehe, my guess you did not read the book to hold that hope... Trough the House of Black and White make much more sense in the books than the show at least
Arya in asoiaf: woke, lovable, an actual warg, a literal child driven to become a faceless assassin after she drags her mother’s body out of a river
arya in got: sansa tried to kill me after i fed walder frey’s sons to him. she’s the smartest person i’ve ever mEt
it honestly depresses and I cannot even rewatch the earlier seasons without being annoyed by maisie now.... from being loved by almost all fans to being almost universally hated
'it's quite dark'
'yes, it IS poorly lit'
Amazing
"If this is what the writers' vision of a smart woman is, they must all be misogynists."
Yeeeeppp!
And the best part is, even if we somehow get past the fact that Dragonstone is completely abandoned with nobody having moved in for 3 years, how does Dany even *know* that? She doesn't send anyone ahead, she just assumes it's empty and walks in herself without securing the castle first. How can she be sure Cersei didn't send any assassins to intercept her and her small posse of Unsullied? Anyway, can't wait for the next one!
Because blazin Dave told her it was unoccupied. How he knows nobody took it, the world may never know.
especially infuriating since in the books the lannisters take it back as soon as stannis sets sail north, because you know... it's one of the most important strategic locations for kings landing
@@tommerker8063 wasnt that the battle in which loras is horrifically injured to the point that hes nearly dead?
A bucket of shrapnel perched on top of the door to the main hall in Dragonstone would apparently have been enough to kill Dany with how casual and carefree she strolled in there.
They put up a sign, FOR SALE, LEASE, OR INVASION
*She's the smartest person I've ever met*
Remember when Sansa was a good character? Sorry, anyone remember Alayne? Baelish? Good stuff. Good times.
At least Arya shanks all of our nightmares after they've already been ruined.
Sansa was ever a good character? She went from being a plot device to an asshole.
apart from herself unfortunately
@@TheAsaoirc she's a good character in the books
and even then, you can see how her perspective starts out flawed and then reorients itself to reality as the books progress. You know, ACTUAL smart person things?
No. No I don’t.
As a Stannis fan it's really sad that they killed him of so early, but not early enough to avoid those 2 shits in charge ruining his entire character.
Stannis' death is where I stop my rewatchs of the series. It's infuriating how they just scratched out such an important and great character by means of the very person who was trying to kill him as a personal vendetta. I'm 100% D&D gave each other a pat on the back for writing that scene, thinking they had given fans what they wanted (Brienne fulfilling one of her vows), but they actually undermined Martin's world building. The so called "subversion" in the books is that characters didn't always get to do what they (and therefore the readers) wanted to do because there's simply too much shit happening around them. Arya will never get to complete her list because a lot of the people there is already dead for some other reason. Drogo never became the first khal to cross the sea because he got an infected wound. Shit happens in this world that comes in the characters way towards their desires. BUT IN THE SHOW, we have Brienne finding Stannis in the middle of the woods after losing a battle, giving her no resistance at all and simply accepting his death. Good for Brienne, everyone please clap.
So, so sad.
@@MarianFK Another example is "hot roasted boi" in Book 5. (The Suitor)
When Stannis didn’t repudiate “Rightful King.” That’s what bothered me
Honestly your season 8 pisstake was the most entertains thing for me on RUclips for miles. I can’t wait for another one
*entertaining
"If this is what the writer's vision of a smart woman is, they must all be misogynists."
Well, if the shoe fits...
I initially heard "If this is what the writer's vision of a smart woman is: they MUST ALL be misogynists." So I went down here to say that the proper term is misandrist, but looking back now that wouldn't have made sense even if he said it that way.
Especially how they wrote that useless conflict with Dany and Sansa because of course two strong women can’t get along they have to be bitches towards one another. Cat fight
@@901stinababy Despite the fact that i made my original comment over a year ago, and have since left GOT FAR behind for greener shores, i still stand by this point; and i agree with you about the ridiculousness of the dany and sansa plot.
@@honoramongassasins8056 what are you interested in now?
@@jamesmeow3039 Star Wars (Knights of the Old Republic era, mostly) and Tolkien's Silmarillion (and related properties). No one ever accused ME of not being a nerd, haha. And yes, I AM concerned about the new Amazon series. Everything I see regarding the characters (with the exception of the added ethnic diversity, which I am HIGHLY in favor of) seems to make me very apprehensive. (I have spent far more time than any human SHOULD ranting about the designs of Galadriel's armor and whether or not it contains the symbol of the uncle she Doesn't Talk About.)
Given Jaime's lack of a reaction here to Cersei's use of wildfire, I have no idea why any of us were surprised what happened to his character in season 8.
Really like the scheming and smarts of that littlefinger guy. I'm sure with those skills he'll stick around.
Until he meets Medieval Google man!!!
@@toby1061 Chaos is an iPad
“He was never a professional gravedigger or anything like that...”
Lmao
The Lyanna Mormont scene embodies so many problems of the later seasons. A character who only exists for fan service, discussing important logistical issues that are lamp-shaded and then promptly ignored, which is somehow meant to be feminist because a woman is being sassy and masculine. Women being trained for combat could have had actually interesting consequences on the political situation in the North but it's glossed over for #girlboss moments like these. It's almost a microcosm of Arya and Sansa's story in the last two seasons.
Nearly every thing she says is the epitome of the word CRINGE. Shes supposed to be defiant and proud,not act like some haughty annoying boss. She is 100% a microcosm of arya,and that rubs me the wrong way since theres no character i hate more in GoT than arya stark
That's what happens when you try to virtue signal in a tv show.
(Or anything for that matter)
literally discovered this channel today, watched the season 1 reviews, the theory videos, and the season 8 pisstakes, and then immediately there was a new upload. very chuffed
The season 8 pisstakes were my therapy after the catastrophe, it was an amazing binge watch after it all went down.
Damn I still talk about season 8 like some collective traumatic event.
"You've seen the Nightking"
"Guess that's what we're calling him"..
Damn, had a good laugh on that one. Also, very true. Nobody has ever mentioned a name, why give him one?
But D&D *_REALLY_* wanted to shock Maisie by casting Eddy S as unnamed Lannister soldier #4 smfh /s
oh - thank god the actors had a good time! Thats what really matters! :D
You know writers are good when they fanservice not only a viewer but also an actor.
I really don't mind the cameo, I just wish it was a little less dragged out and maybe a bit less HEY GUYS THIS IS ED SHEREEN CAN YOU TELL IT'S ED SHEREEN HE'S SINGING IN CASE YOU CAN'T! Something like the Stan Lee cameos in the Marvel films could work. Oh and if they're gonna include Ed Sheeran then where the fuck is my GRRM cameo?
@@johnmanthorpe4640 the problem is not that he has a cameo, it's that he is the center piece of the scene, it's an entirely useless fourth wall break and realy ruins the tone of the scene
A lot of people thought the Frey genocide was well done. I disagree and am happy to see another person thinking the same.
I liked the candles.
@@alanpennie8013 costume design was great too, to be fair :^)
@@SephonDK not realy, everyone is wearing brown and grey, it'S realy poorly lit and i find the words for house frey kind of on the nose, especially as the fries are never portraied as a house with strong bonds, the two walders openly discuss the inheritance and how they hope that some of the people who are in line befor them die
Keep making these.
Only if you keep making things too.
Aren't they great?? These videos are becoming better than the damn show that brought us all together. I'm late to the party but that is easily corrected!! It's called BINGE WATCHING! I shall be caught up in no time. I do wish I'd started sooner to see the first few years but oh well. I'm here now! Here's what I think....These artists just have to be very famous people related to this show some how but don't want their identities know to cause strife in their professional lives. That's what I think 👏👍😉
@@Glidus Oops, I hope not
This
I still think my favourite line is from the Long Night review.
"The cripple gets bored and becomes a bird and finds a dragon that we can't see!"
I literally screamed “yes” when I saw the notification. I am hyped for these season seven pisstakes. Do season five and six!
Dude SAME!
5 and 6 wont be as funny because they were actually good seasons
Season 6 was one of the best
@@nathancampbell9083 it depends how you look at it. Season 6 had some amazing scenes and episodes. Like the battle of the bastards. It's one if my favourite seasons. The only downside is that there is quite a bit of plot armour.
@j mula you must have been watching another show lmao. Season 5 and 6 are amazing. The only issue was plot armour. Most the story and dialogue was on par with seasons 1-4
"Junk Spearow" is the best description of Euron I've ever heard
I am healthcare worker in Ny, We need a pisstake over here more than you know, shit show for sure. Major Thrones and song fans. You are spot on. Thank you for giving us great vids. Truly awesome!
Thank you so much for what you're doing. We would be royally fucked if not for you and people like you.
Margherita Uzzo Thank you! No words can express our appreciation!
*when gildius releases another piss take
*"It cannot be"
Guldan reference?
It always bother me that Arya didn't get Robb's body and release their uncle. It felt like she did it for pleasure not revenge.
pretty sure edmund is a prisoner in casterly rock in the books, but the show cut the scene
Didn’t they throw Rob’s body in the river with Katlins? I can’t recall if they did or not in the books
@@friendlyneighborhoodspider7145 it was not explicitly mentioned what happened t his body. cat was thrown into the river as a mockery of the tully burial rites
“Brienne is large, Ed’s in charge, EXPLODED MARGE” - Hey look it’s the thing that made me stop watching the show. Nothing about the entire runtime of this show pisses me off more than the explosion of the Sept, not least because people still have the wool pulled over their eyes by season 6.
When Ned died, it’s because he was a wolf out of the woods with more honor than sense.
When the wedding ran red it was because for all of Robb’s success on the battlefield he lacked the political savvy to secure good alliances and the situational awareness to see the traitors in his midst, his relative blindness a residual consequence of Ned’s Northern values, the ‘sins’ of the father becoming that of the son. Something which raises the stakes for Jonny Boy who has even more of Ned’s scruples than Robb - it establishes honor as a Damocles sword which hangs over the character’s head - which then comes to a head in the Great Stabbening. Lending to the event the POSSIBILITY that Jon’s goners for gooders and some mystical shit won’t be dues exing him in the machina at the last moment. It’s important and has a point, is my point. Characters don’t die for no reason.
When Marge and Co. get napalmed, it’s because the show writers had to tie off a lump sum of character arcs and sub plots because they didn’t want to devote a season to depicting the downfall of the Tyrells in a more organic manner and needed a spectacle to distract people from the downward spiral of the narrative cohesion. SEASON SIX WAS NOT GOOD, IT WAS A HARBINGER OF THINGS TO COME. Nobody had any business being surprised by seasons seven and eight. I wasn’t. I cashed my chips out before the Wildfyre even stopped burning - before Tommen took his tumble,, and I am not a particularly perceptive or intelligent man. Season six is what killed the show, because it was proof-positive to the showfumblers that they could fake it until they made it.
Marge deserved better. She was always destined to fly too close to the sun, pushed out the back of a cargo plane with wings made of paper and wax by her over-ambitious elders but that process needed to be a slow burn. Marge was too competent at her gimmick to get offed so suddenly and so (ironically given the context) unceremoniously, not because the character was major or important but because the character represented a portent of ambition and competency that could and should have meant something to characters like Danners and especially Sansers. Marge made no fucking mistakes - she was beloved by the small folk (WHICH PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE FACTORED INTO SOME POST SPLOSION UNREST, but I guess if entire families are losing their agency we shouldn’t have expected anything of the proles), she had the ear of her child-husband-king - what lesson was there to learn? What’s the takeaway for the other characters? NOTHING - SEASON SIX WAS SHIT.
Also, Natalie Dormer was already smoking hot. Wildfyre not required.
Margaery was one of my favorite characters. She had that quality of “there are only two kinds of people in the world: people that wanna be me or marry me”. She made no mistakes and you’re absolutely right. She shaded Cersei and was *this* close to getting her sent off away from King’s Landing. I’m glad to hear someone else was devastated when she died and felt like “what the heck what’s gonna happen now this is totally ripping out the side block”. Like I didn’t understand because politically she represented some very important qualities in what kind of story Grrm was originally trying to tell… not to mention that her yelling at Cersei never get like a win for me in the way I think it was supposed to. She was imprisoned and she was supposed to be the person that never really broke that mask with Cersei because she couldn’t afford to.
Cersei wasn’t supposed to the one who killed her even if she had to die.
But Margaery I think was a sincerely kind character who was excellent at the political game & did something smart and cool nobody did by first checking out the ex and checking in on the poor kids in Flea Bottom. And her style and her hair, she was just lovely. Well done Natalie Dormer
Finally sound something more cringe than the ending of GOT. A dude saying "Sansers" and "Danners" as if he's edgy. Thanks I puked this comment is disgusting lol
Oh yeah while it was an earlier s6 episode that killed the show for me, I did ride out the last 2 episodes just to finish the season, and see if the plot could pull a miracle rabbit out at the last second. The cinematography? Incredible. The music? Haunting. The actual content? Underwhelming AT BEST. Its rather strange to be simultaneously in awe of something while also reassured that your instinct to give up on it is well founded. The Tyrells spent the entire season twiddling their thumbs and doing nothing to oppose the extremely vulnerable Cersei because, uh, she’s got this… big zombie guy… yeah… Cersei taking over King’s Landing had all the competitive spirit of fighting a punching bag. And also instead of punching it you just threw a grenade at the damn thing.
You know there’s a fun version of this season where Cersei’s arc is being forced back to some arranged marriage in Casterly Rock, away from her son, and her plot for that season is getting away from this person she’s being forced to marry and sneaking her way back to King’s Landing to do the big coup d’etait. Hell it could even explain Cersei being so buddy buddy with Euron if she had to make a deal with him to get the damn throne. Just anything to give her more to do than sit around in all black glaring daggers at people for ten episodes.
I love how I'm not the only one who gets pissed off at sansa in season 7.
Arya was so much worse.
@@alanpennie8013 🤡🤡
I feel like glidus slowly melts into madness as he’s breaking the episodes down just for our entertainment, great content please do more
It is absolutely goddam baffling to me that this channel doesn't have more subscribers
protip: force your family and friends to subscribe at knifepoint
I cannot contain my excitement for your inevitable Beyond the Wall Pisstake
I'm convinced this channel is just Viserys Targaryen brought back to life by Kinvara with an Australian accent to cover his identity. His experience with death made him aware of the true Lord of Light: those basked in the flame emitted by the television screen. Now he appeases R'hllor, who has been saddened by the decline in quality of this show due to the banishing of the prince who was promised (Grrm), by making some of the best Game of Thrones criticisms on RUclips. Amazing critique aside, the editing and writing for these videos is phenomenal. Keen to see more, Glidus :) all the best
wait what? this is an australian accent? i would have never guessed
Nope sounds English to me
Once upon a time I thought I'd be rewatching Game of Thrones in a time like this.
But thanks to 2D, Im rewatching piss takes of it instead.
Wiktoria Chmielewska Me too buddy, me too :’(
I'm using this time to reread the books.
After season 8 it feels like therapy :)
Euron Greyjoy i started to read the books because of the shitty ending and i really hope that the books will end much better! Right now im reading A Dance With Dragons and i am soo much more hooked on the books then i was ever in the TV Show
The bit with your Ma was simultaneously the funniest and the sweets thing I've seen on the internet in years. Thank you Gildus. Keep up the awesome work.
*I love that you gave tribute to Billy Joel AND reignited my disdain for Game of Thrones in the opening 30 seconds with the new hit classic, "We Didn't Start Wildfire"*
This is going to be good
I love the addition of "Mom" to the Glidus expanded universe, hope to get more content soon
I don't really get why so many people say season 8 is a lot worse than 7. To me they're basically on the same level.
Season 7 was like meeting a cute girl on Tinder, having an okay first date but realising she doesn't have much going for her but anyway at least she is a looker and trying the first couple of days. It is only belately that you realise just how stupid she really is and that she starts randomly breaking shit that you care about (like the laws of physics in Beyond the Wall) so you eventually end it, unsatisfied but still not completly turned down.
Season 8 is the cute girl you meet on Tinder but you quickly realise she is not the smartest pebble in the pond. However, you still hit it of for two times but suddenly she just punches you. She is not abusive or evil. She is just stupid and literally she punches you out of stupidity. And she does this, over and over. Suddenly, she starts destroying the memories of past relationships, even the one with the season 7 girl. But you can't bring yourself to let it be. You have to see this through, it isn't going to last long, but at least give me 6 weeks. but her stupidity, her violent destruction of beloved things continues and when all is finished you realise that you wasted your time. That it wasn't worth it and you are angry, because even the dispassionate sex on the third night was underwhelming as everything was dark and you couldn't see anything and she was so stupid that you couldn't enjoy yourself as everything about the situation was laughably dumb.
If you take offense at my english or the gender of my metaphor feel free to correct it and replace the sex specific pronouns with your chosen substitute.
it's pretty close, yeah. s7e6 is up there with s8e3 and s8e5.
i think it's because we all thought it was a fluke and that it would be fixed in season 8 since they basically had a decade to fix their problems. But nope...everything fell off a fuckin cliff
Pascal Küchler, are you okay?
You could argue they're really the same season split into unequal halves.
Yea after the shitfire of s07 I thought s08 was going to be a huge let down, but didn't expect them to plainly massacre the entire show. 😪
Still rocking those TFS/yugiohabridged references. Me likey
Me too. it's very nostalgic :)
Noticed that too.
Sansa jabs Jon asking if he is going to start wearing a crown yet she is the only Stark who wears one in the show, Daenerys didn't even get one.
Me: * going to sleep *
Glidus: Its pisstake time
You had it down in your first video, but holy hell brother! You've really started nailing the format. You never let things run too long without a joke, but it's still full of information about the episode. I can't imagine how much effort goes into each episode but as always _keep it up!_
Gonna dig me a hole
Gonna put a nerd in it
thank you for reminding me of that episode, your name and comment gave me spontanious giggles ;)
12:19 i will never be able to watch this scene again without hearing "I CAN SEE THE FUTURRRRRRRRE!" 🤣🤣🤣
Once more, the editing is peak quality. Best thing I’ve ever seen. Praise.
The whole exchange with your mum is brilliant. “Okay, so it’s a 2 year old with gigantism?” “Perhaps, yes.” Hahahaha
The shot where Daenerys pulls down the Stannis banner always makes me sad.
Seriously thank you for this. I was so captivated by the production value the first time I watched basically all of this series that it was always easy for me to forgive or ignore or not notice inconsistencies, but just wow. I'm sorry that you had to watch these bad episodes so much to put this together, but you've done "God's" work, or something like that, so once again thank you!
I didn't know who you were until this week but oh my god I'm glad I've found your channel. Very funny and clever, my man and thank you for giving a fair review with props when needed. Nice job.
i know i'm very late but "junk spearow" is the best fucking thing ever
The beginning was Game of Thrones as told by Dr Seus. Love it!
it's actually the song "we didn't start the fire"
The first thirty five seconds was the greatest poetry since...
No actually, it was just the best poetry ever, full stop.
Bitter sweet seeing our boy Stannis get namechecked.
Best. Birthday. Present. EVER!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
🎁
Bone apple teeth
I love your limerick opening thing, it was very clever and funny :)
I also like the line about "If I'm lost because I haven't been paying attention, shame on me. If I'm lost because I _have_ been paying attention, fuck you." It's a great attitude to have, and increasingly relevant in the modern storytelling landscape.
Y’know, I prefer to think of the Night King not so much as “Blue Satan”, but rather the cool mint version of Darth Maul.
He does he call the night king rheagar
YESSSSSS I didn’t think it would be possible to recreate the perfection that were the season 8 pisstakes but you seem to be doing it again
Glidus, the king of RUclips has returned to bless the realm with more pisstake videos🙌. Long may he reign.
Glidus, these are the BEST videos on RUclips, thank you for your brain!!! I am counting days till 'Beyond the wall' pisstake.
This was fast paced and funny. We can see how much hard work you put into it. Loved it man.
Glidus. Your mother sounds like a very nice and happy person. Call her sometimes, buy her flowers and tell her you love her.
Unbelievable
I was just about to Finish your pisstakes of Season 8
And now youre releasing pisstakes of Season 7
Noice.
Congratulations on the 50,000!!! You oh so deserve it and many many more. I LOVE the content you create. Well done!! ♥️
I don't think an actual library would look like the citadel here in the show. The shelves are positioned very poorly, not to mention the huge-ass hole in the wall letting in natural light. That would harm the parchment the books are written on, I imagine.
Ayyyy, it's a productive boi. Glad you're uploading :)
I wasn't expecting this but I was very happy to see this pop-up.
OMG I was not expecting this and I'm so freakin' excited that the Pisstake is back!!!
Wtf i was literally half way through rewatching the season 8 pisstake for a third time and you drop this gloriousness on us! Here we goooo
I had no idea who Ed Sheeran was when this episode came on and I remember trying to figure out why the camera seemed to focus on him so much. They had me thinking he was someone who'd be important later in the show.
“This Norwegian Adonis”. What a great way to explain tormund
Here watching these videos for like the 5th time. Infinitely rewatchable content on this channel
Ok, this was the first time in like 2 years that I actually laughed out loud while watching a RUclips video while alone.
I remember seeing the Frey scene finally after wanting it for sooo long and just feeling...nothing. Feel like I finally know why. Cheers mate
"Its quite dark" "yes its very poorly lit" that exchange describes the entire last 3 seasons
Never get tired of your videos! Keep em coming! Masterful creations
I still go through the season 8 pisstakes when I wanna pass the time. Happy to see more 👍🏻
Oh boy I just watched the Pisstake about season 8, here we go
Nearly 4 years since this utter bollocks sullied our telly screens and I'm still annoyed that Dany was mad but Arya feeding a man his own sons, killing him, stealing his face and then killing all the males his family, including little boys and those who had nothing to do with offing her brother and mother, and doing it with a smile on her face is the sign of justified revenge and is totally cool and sane.
In fact, all the sane members of the Stark family are dead and Westeros is left with a sadistic mass murderer, a woman who enjoys feeding her husband to dogs (which, okay it was killing Ramsay so cool, but Dany was condemned for letting Viserys die), a malfunctioning robot who doesn't understand human emotions and has inexplicably been made King so buckle up smallfolk because he's going to let lots of you starve when he cannot compute your problems and finally a man who executed a traumatised child without a second thought and treated the free folk as little more that disposable reserves to die needlessly in his awful battle plans.
Just what I needed today, lovely video as always! Great job :))
Thank you for giving my life meaning again
Never stop making these pisstakes. Oh and your other content too, everything is just great.
Thank you
Fuck the show's celebrity cameo, we met Glidus' MUM. I feel somehow honored.
The intro to this video was art
Its been a while since I've thought about GoT since it ended, but watching your videos makes me feel like I'm reexperiencing it with a drunk friend giving his commentary and I think its great
Somehow this pisstakes are so much better than the actual show.
Great to see back, Glidus, my mandude.
I feel kind of grossly guilty about the fact that I genuinely want that painting of Westeros as a floor painting/carpet in my own home, because it came from one of the 2 worst seasons of GOT, but you gotta give props where props are due; the artists/set designers/whoever the hell is in charge of this crazy train, did a hell of a job with that. It looks so _gooooood_
I want to add that even the visuals of the show were getting worse, the costumes were so good 1 - 4, but everyone went goth and emo after that.
"There's 4 locations at any given time in this universe"
-winterfell
-king's landing
-oldtown
-albuquerque
I already liked your videos but the fact that you hit close to home 😩 makes me consider subbing to your paytreon
Oh @glidus you have no idea how bad I needed these back in my life 😂
Arya killing the freys is so unsatisfying in so many ways thematically.
1. Its just Arya cheating in the story bc she never actually learns anything that we see, just derping in braavos does not make you this good. Therefore its very undeserving.
2. The freys downfall is not satisfying because, again, its undeserving but Arya just killing this enemy who murdered beloved characters in a cheating kind of way gives no satisfaction.
3. There's absolutely zero tension from the Freys downfall, theres no buildup, Arya just appears and kills the plot, there's no repercussions they just mention they are dead.
4. The entire North, Jon, Sansa whatever, everyone else has nothing to do with the Freys downfall which is also so incredibly unsatisfying when you consider how much damage they did to the North and house Stark in particular.
5. Because of how the plot overall develops (becoming more fast paced and rushed) the Freys just has so go out the window and for D&D and their lack of imagination that means god-mode Arya can just finish it. No intrigue, warfare or political game between the North and Freys and in the end no payoff to Robb Starks and Catelyns deaths at all.
The edits of Arya saying Sansa is "the smartest person I've ever met" right after Sansa gets done saying something dumb were glorious
I live for these videos, absolutely amazing
YESSSS! So glad you're doing these again!
