Oh my dude, no-one is ignoring Euron's predations; the point is that they are not fun to think about. Remember, damn near every ASOIAF character is a murderer or worse. Remember how Danny had random people crucified because someone else had some other random people crucified? Well, that's not fun to think about so we kinda gloss over this very considered act of cruelty. GRRM knows what he is doing and all these manifold evils take their toll, but for fans who just want to talk dumb theories it's ok to just come up with madcap grimdark stuff for Euron to have done.
@callmecatalyst a great character is a great character. a character we love to hate is still a good character. get off your high horse, they’re not real people, mate 👍🏿
Seem legit. Euron being a megalomaniac and wanting to populate the world with himself only and going by the pronouns they/them. Cersei being a psycho compulsive liar that was able to lie to herself and created a scenario in her mind that she had nothing to do with it.
My favorite theory is that Lannisters secretly DO actually shit gold, so Tywin was proven to be a bastard on the privy and the true heir to Casterly Rock was always Kevan.
@@starwarsnerd100 Wel Jaime is the son of a bastard, so not a real Lannister, so he doesn't shit gold. Only Kevan and his kids shit gold. We've never had a PoV of them while on the toilet. Think about it.
The horse round made me laugh so hard cause In AGOT when Ned and Robert talk about Lyanna in winterfell I kept thinking “they talk about her like she’s a horse”
"No way Asshai was built by the squishers, I don't think anybody's that insane" -Rude Haunter "Asshai was built by the squishers is just legit" -Alt Schwift Eggs
I've 100% heard so many theories that the squishers built Asshai, so it's absolutely a real theory. Usually they'll say it was the Deep Ones, but squishers are pretty much the same thing. Oily black stone is connected to Lovecraft references, fish people are located near the toad statue which is near Yeen which is similar to Asshai, the aesthetically Lovecraftian ironborn's connections to the GEOTD... it's such an easy conclusion to reach for theorists grasping at straws. Like, there's even a video of the theory here on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/TQl16mRvq6E/видео.html
My favorite part is the always calm, eloquent and well spoken wordsmith Alt Schwift X being absolutely dumbfounded by the horse question to the point he couldn't even find proper words.
The funniest thing to me about the theory community is the possibility that all of the identity theories are real and George is going to do a massive rug-pull in book 6 where he reveals that every character is just another character.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha dude the first fucking chapter is just from Eurons perspective and he’s just struggling to maintain all these alter egos. All while he’s really a horse
Jon Snow will be the only character who isn't secretly someone else and Ygritte telling Jon that he knows nothing is actually GRRM telling the reader that they know nothing.
There are only like... three people in ASOIAF. Unaware of the other two, each of the three souls possesed everyone else on planetos to manipulate Westros to their own separate ends.
Nobody who doesn’t suddenly become a plot device to get things moving towards open war! The hand of GRRM is very blatant at times. Not that I’m saying it isn’t necessary!
I tried so hard to be quiet, its 3am when my parents sleep and I hear ASX almost genuinely asking "is it possible all of these characters are the same horse?" Brilliant.
My favourite is that Stannis actually IS Azor Ahai reborn, just because nobody thinks he is except Mel and Selyse. Not even himself, really. It would be hilarious and he'd probably grind his teeth in disappointment.
GRRM doesn't need to release the books for the sake of finishing the series. He needs to release them because his fanbase is steadily growing more and more insane and there's only one cure.
This video is also really well edited. A lot of other people would just put all of them in the same video call and there'd be lots of cross talk. Quizzing each one seperatly and editing their responses together to make a funny coherent narrative is really good work.
When the video started I was a bit disappointed that they weren't all in a call bouncing off each other and justifying the decisions they'd locked in prior. It soon became apparent that this was the wiser decision, and this is my favourite GoT video in years.
Martin has written a story where a woman created a male version of herself just to be a bed mate/slave, call it whatever, but she dies before her male version was fully functional/operational to mate then she downloads her consciousness in to a space ship and later haunts the crew members of the space ship. That's GRR martin
Me pausing the video to look up who Rennifer Longwaters is. AltSchwiftX upon resuming: "Who the fuck is Rennifer Longwaters" Instantly felt better about myself
The only reason I knew him is because I searched up all possible Targblood characters, and Rennifer is the most dissappointing known descendant of Elaena (the one with the silver hair with a gold stripe, who was master of coin through her husband, and who married like three times; shes a sister of Daena the Defiant)
I had to look up so many characters Some of these I probably wouldn't even remember if I read the chapter they show up in right before watching the video
The editing for this video is so great. Juxtaposing one contestant saying, "This theory is really legit, it has to be real" with the very next one saying, "That theory is absolute horseshit, how could anyone believe that!"
@@Glidus As promised, I still think of you as the 'Drogo was a horse' guy, and immediately knew at least that one was real. I thought Tyrek Lannister was the fake, alas, I didn't think all were real. But seeing as he was last seen ahorse, I should have known. So obvious in hindsight and definitely canon.
I actually think you were quite reserved with the fake ones, I wouldn't have been able to contain myself from putting 'Gatehouse Ami is a GRRM self insert' or 'The shrouded lord is the friends we made along the way'
my favourite theory is that every POV character in the series was actually at the wall and all stabbed Jon, then rushed back to where they were supposed to be
@@TheMightofDab that's hilarious. i can just see this conversation going "- and then they ALL stabbed him - that makes no fucking sense. how did they get into their supposed places for the time of their chapters then? - idk they ran or something"
When I was in high school, my friend and I wrote a theory that Godot from "Waiting for Godot" is a polar bear. There was a surprising amount of evidence too. These reminded me of that, especially the horse one. Love this.
wow, Glidus I have to say, you hit it out of the park here. This is one of the most enjoyable ASoIaF videos I've ever seen, and I've seen them all. To get the biggest names in the fandom on one page and think of something interesting and original to do is a breath of fresh air to the community. Keep up the good work!
Dude Gerion being a mute in Euron´s crew is so fucked I want it to be real, it could also imply that Euron didn't go Valyria he just intecepted Gerion and got the valyrian armor from him (Gerion went there to find a valyrian sword and found the armor instead).
Very cool. Preston confirmed to be the sanest of them all. It may be too late for us to save Glidus. His mind has gone to some places now to think like this, we must pray that he can be pulled back from the brink
fr glimbus this video is SO well done and SO many creators wouldnt put the time in to make it look and flow as well as youve done here. 10/10 would quiz again.
"The Daenerys' Dreams are from Euron, not Quaithe" might be fake, but it makes real sense when you consider Quaithe is the Dusky Woman. So they're from both.
@@MFenix206no, see, Quaithe and Euron are separate characters, but the Quaithe that Dany met in Quarth and the Quaithe in her dreams are both Euron. Quaithe just sent Dany the Ice-Dick Dream.
As soon as Carmine said "Isn't he embedded in a tree? There's no way he's fucking" my mind immediately went "full body tree bondage with fairy roleplay is somebody's kink, I just know it"
There was a strange mental threshold I crossed halfway through this where just hearing "person x is person y" started making me laugh no matter who it concerned. Like the words lost meaning. You masterminded this beautifully.
As the test subject for this video, I suppose I might as well share some fun facts regarding several of these wacky theories: - For question 2, option C is actually only half true. It came from an awful theory video we watched a while back where the creators suggested that Oberyn Martell raped several close family members, including his sister Elia. While the video itself never actually proposed the idea that Aegon and Rhaenys were Oberyn's bastards, I think it's fair that a rational person would see such a premise and use it to come to a more reasonable conclusion. - For question 4, option D originally suggested that Timett, son of Timett was the bastard of Brandon Stark (Eddard Stark's elder brother). However, I pointed out to Glidus that while this could be a fun way to throw people off, we have no evidence to suggest that Brandon ever visited the Vale, so the parent was changed to something more believable. - For question 10, several things were changed to be a lot less specific. Originally, option B said that Lem Lemoncloak was Willem Darry, and option C said that Richard Lonmouth was Rolland Storm (Stannis Baratheon's current castellan at Dragonstone). - For question 12, I actually shocked Glidus when I said that All Walders are Walder is in fact a theory that exists... in the pinned comments of his own Discord server (join us you spineless cowards)! Thank you to Glidus for selecting me of all physical and immaterial entities to sample this dish before it was served to the proper big boys. And no Gludis, my eyebrows have still not stopped raising. We'll have to go look for them one day.
@@Rocsanna My audio recording is gone. I don't know what Glidus did with his recording, but both had audio problems (in my case, for some reason the recording software didn't pick up my mic input).
This is still one of my absolute favourite videos in RUclips, ever. I always come back to it after a few months, when I forget the theories at all, and they always crack me up and make me go insane. The editing and flow of the contestants' responses are top tier, too.
I love the editing of this one. The amount of times we're cutting from one contestant going "well obviously it's not that one" to another going "well obviously it's that one" is great.
I had a dream glidus did a face reveal in the style of a red wedding reaction video where it's obvious that he knows what's gonna happen but he still pretends to he shocked
I actually looked up a generator and these are what I got. “Coldhands and Arianne and Dany are the three heads of the dragon.” “Meera and Tyrion are secret Targaryens.” “Lysa and Davos will die in TWoW.” “Walder Frey and Quentyn are the same person.”
I got these: Viserys warged into a pigeon Rhaegar hooked up with Victarion at the tourney of Harrenhal Bran Targaryen Gilly will destroy Winterfell Edit: I did a couple more and I got "The Ser Pounce Master Plan" this thing is amazing
“Rickon will kill Jon Snow with Lightbringer in Volantis” “Victarion will skinchange into Bloodraven” “Osmund Kettleblack and Doran will get married in Volantis” “Grey Worm Targaryen” “Andals will take over Qarth” “Moon Boy, Walder Frey and Benjen are the three heads of the dragon” “Marillion is secretly Alys Karstark” “Roose Bolton will fall in love with Timett son of Timett” “Samwell killed Renly” “Greatjon Umber hooked up with Darkstar at the tourney of Harrenhal” “Thoros will fall in love with Thoros” “Ashara Dayne isn't dead” “Beric will fall in love with Wyman Manderly” “Drogon Targaryen”
i can't get over the idea of "the hive mind of Frey's" just because i rewatched Prestons Frey Civil war vid like a couple days ago. "hey me?" "Yeah me?" "you see that other bunch of me's over there?" "Yeh?" "FUCK those me's!"
I know i'm two years late to the party, but i cried actual tears of laughter at the reveal of the horse question. I wish you'd make another April Fools test, this is to me the funniest fucking thing on youtube.
Every now and then when my mental health take a turn for the worse, i come back and watch this video and just laugh myself silly. Its such an amazing comfort. All hail the OmniWalder
Glidus and Jacobs appear in the same video. The apotheosis is at hands brothers. Storm the den of the scion of gluttony. Rend its flesh from bone and raise it as our banner. The winds of winter shall never come to pass, let us bathe in the eternal autumn.
Here is the best theory ever. Jon Snow wrote the Pink Letter, but not Jon Snow Jon Snow but an alternate personality of Jon who is The Prince that was Promised. In order to make himself go for it, Jon (aka the Prince) wrote the letter, then sent it to himself - and they don't share memories, so Jon does not know that he himself wrote the Pink Letter for himself. Also explains why The Prince has a different writing style than both Jon and Ramsey.

EVERYONE IS A HORSE
@@GelberStuhl it is known. a song of horse and whinny.
This is possible due to a little-known lore tidbit called the "dragon break"
Nothing that hasn’t been said already, but the editing is brilliant and perfectly maximizes the comedy. Awesome video
None of them knew "Drogo is a horse" was yours ;-;
heartbroken
@@Glidus As promised, I still think of you as the 'Drogo was a horse' guy, and immediately knew at least that one was real. I thought Tyrek Lannister was the fake, alas, I didn't think all were real. But seeing as he was last seen ahorse, I should have known. So obvious in hindsight and definitely canon.
@@MattJDave it's gonna cause some huge twists and turns, don'tcha know x)
Yeah I was like "Well I know I've heard THAT before, that's definitely real". And I'm pretty sure I've heard "Lyanna is a horse" before too.
this is really impressively edited together, just wanted to acknowledge that
thank you! it was lots of fun to make
@@Glidus I'm a baby youtuber still learning how to edit well so its nice to see how you make the conversation flow
I actually think you were quite reserved with the fake ones, I wouldn't have been able to contain myself from putting 'Gatehouse Ami is a GRRM self insert' or 'The shrouded lord is the friends we made along the way'
my favourite theory is that every POV character in the series was actually at the wall and all stabbed Jon, then rushed back to where they were supposed to be
If you're trying to fool someone, you gotta show some restraint. Not too much obviously with how off the wall some are but still.
'Gatehouse Ami is a GRRM self insert'. Well, now I'm going to need some strong evidence to convince me this is NOT true.
Nakama GANG GANG
@@TheMightofDab that's hilarious. i can just see this conversation going
"- and then they ALL stabbed him
- that makes no fucking sense. how did they get into their supposed places for the time of their chapters then?
- idk they ran or something"
When I was in high school, my friend and I wrote a theory that Godot from "Waiting for Godot" is a polar bear. There was a surprising amount of evidence too. These reminded me of that, especially the horse one. Love this.
AltShwiftX: "I like badminton, crochet, and talking about dragons on the internet."
You're more grandma than my grandma and I love it.
"it's because he's of the night, you see"
fucking floored me lol
wow, Glidus I have to say, you hit it out of the park here. This is one of the most enjoyable ASoIaF videos I've ever seen, and I've seen them all. To get the biggest names in the fandom on one page and think of something interesting and original to do is a breath of fresh air to the community. Keep up the good work!
back for my once-every-few-months watch of this video. it’s my favorite 40 minutes on youtube. thanks glimglam
Dude Gerion being a mute in Euron´s crew is so fucked I want it to be real, it could also imply that Euron didn't go Valyria he just intecepted Gerion and got the valyrian armor from him (Gerion went there to find a valyrian sword and found the armor instead).
Imagine Euron whips out Brightroar too just to make it even more fucked, that Gerion actually succeeded but got caught and made a mute by Euron.
All of the Euron theories in that round were actually pretty hype.
This theory has legs...
Yeah, same! I kinda like that one
@@tobyjimmy but no tongue!
11:02 “If anyone’s gonna outwit themselves, it’s Cersei Lannister” is so funny because of how true it is
Shit man I'm trying to discreetly watch RUclips at work and the laugh from
"Tyrek Lannister was last seen ahorse" could not be contained
"And I struggle to imagine _a horse_ inheriting Casterly Rock"
You clearly haven't played enough CK2, Shwifty 😆
Very cool. Preston confirmed to be the sanest of them all. It may be too late for us to save Glidus. His mind has gone to some places now to think like this, we must pray that he can be pulled back from the brink
Preston Jacobs now has to surrender his channel to RedTeamReview, where Carmine proceeds to explain to us how everything is as it appears.
we must drown him in salt water and make him rise again, saner and stronger
"Tyrek was last see a horse" KILLED me
fr glimbus this video is SO well done and SO many creators wouldnt put the time in to make it look and flow as well as youve done here. 10/10 would quiz again.
I went to that random theory generator and got "Ser Pounce will destroy Qarth" and now I really want to see that
You should have that Glidus guy in your videos more often, he's funny
no hes not
Well I personally thing that Glimbus has the edge above him
Dude 202 likes? You’re a celebrity now
@@void_wyrm Wow people have a really low comedic standard if that's all it takes 🙄
@@Wafflbaum don't be a knob
"The Daenerys' Dreams are from Euron, not Quaithe" might be fake, but it makes real sense when you consider Quaithe is the Dusky Woman. So they're from both.
Yeah that one is not that implausible actually. It's dumb, but I was genuinely surprised when that one turned out to be fake.
I mean, i wouldn't say the quaithe dreams are from Euron, i personally think she is getting dreams from both and they are independent characters...
@@MFenix206no, see, Quaithe and Euron are separate characters, but the Quaithe that Dany met in Quarth and the Quaithe in her dreams are both Euron. Quaithe just sent Dany the Ice-Dick Dream.
As soon as Carmine said "Isn't he embedded in a tree? There's no way he's fucking" my mind immediately went "full body tree bondage with fairy roleplay is somebody's kink, I just know it"
are you ok
"Somebody's kink", just own it, let your freak flag fly high!
Oh this will make a fine addition to my collection.
It's beautiful to watch Rule 34 in action...
*slowly raises hand*
15:04 "Guys. Guys?? I know George is taking his time but *for fuck's sake"* is the biggest mood. 😂
Nobody would EVER think Drogo is a horse. Only a real idiot would think that.
some MORON might think that i guess.
There was a strange mental threshold I crossed halfway through this where just hearing "person x is person y" started making me laugh no matter who it concerned.
Like the words lost meaning.
You masterminded this beautifully.
As the test subject for this video, I suppose I might as well share some fun facts regarding several of these wacky theories:
- For question 2, option C is actually only half true. It came from an awful theory video we watched a while back where the creators suggested that Oberyn Martell raped several close family members, including his sister Elia. While the video itself never actually proposed the idea that Aegon and Rhaenys were Oberyn's bastards, I think it's fair that a rational person would see such a premise and use it to come to a more reasonable conclusion.
- For question 4, option D originally suggested that Timett, son of Timett was the bastard of Brandon Stark (Eddard Stark's elder brother). However, I pointed out to Glidus that while this could be a fun way to throw people off, we have no evidence to suggest that Brandon ever visited the Vale, so the parent was changed to something more believable.
- For question 10, several things were changed to be a lot less specific. Originally, option B said that Lem Lemoncloak was Willem Darry, and option C said that Richard Lonmouth was Rolland Storm (Stannis Baratheon's current castellan at Dragonstone).
- For question 12, I actually shocked Glidus when I said that All Walders are Walder is in fact a theory that exists... in the pinned comments of his own Discord server (join us you spineless cowards)!
Thank you to Glidus for selecting me of all physical and immaterial entities to sample this dish before it was served to the proper big boys. And no Gludis, my eyebrows have still not stopped raising. We'll have to go look for them one day.
Ur-Walder is real? Thats only slightly less ridiculous than the entirety of the horse round.
So is your recording like gone-gone, or just partially gone? I'd be interested in more of this craziness, this fandom is the bomb!
@@Rocsanna My audio recording is gone. I don't know what Glidus did with his recording, but both had audio problems (in my case, for some reason the recording software didn't pick up my mic input).
This is still one of my absolute favourite videos in RUclips, ever. I always come back to it after a few months, when I forget the theories at all, and they always crack me up and make me go insane. The editing and flow of the contestants' responses are top tier, too.
I like how three of them died inside each time they found out the answer, while Preston was occasionally inspired by them 😂
Can’t believe you didn’t include the Bran parentage theory (Catelyn warged into a squirrel and reproduced with an actual squirrel)
I want to think you're shitposting rn, but I'm too afraid to check
that can't be real
Now thinking about it, the asoiaf fandom hasn't THAT many furry theories. I think it's for the best.
Excuse me what
I mean it perfectly explains Bran's climbing hobby
I love the editing of this one. The amount of times we're cutting from one contestant going "well obviously it's not that one" to another going "well obviously it's that one" is great.
"Isn't he embedded in a tree? There's no way he's fucking"
Yeah? "embedded," "children of the forest" c'mon it's in the name...
im pretty sure they were called that by ignorant First Men because the Children were short
@@godemperorofmankind3.091 Are they known by any other name?
Could have just milked him
I had a dream glidus did a face reveal in the style of a red wedding reaction video where it's obvious that he knows what's gonna happen but he still pretends to he shocked
I was literally just sitting on the privy thinking “I wonder when glidus will upload again.” Nice to see you.
Hope you didn't have an encounters with any crossbows 🤪
Watch out for a disgruntled son…
@@Black_pearl_adrift he’s locked up and due to be executed in the morning, I have nothing to worry about
I love the change from “I love all of these” to “I want none of these to be true” LOL
Hats off to you Glingleberry for putting on such an enthralling and mind-bendingly eye-opening Song of Game and Show quiz!
“Some people look at this story and decide there’s not enough incest”
The Horse Round was hilarious. We like #Drogoisahorse around these parts
I actually looked up a generator and these are what I got.
“Coldhands and Arianne and Dany are the three heads of the dragon.”
“Meera and Tyrion are secret Targaryens.”
“Lysa and Davos will die in TWoW.”
“Walder Frey and Quentyn are the same person.”
My favorites are
"Darkstar will be defeated by Darkstar at Pentos"
"Lady Stoneheart killed Renly"
"Grand Hot Pie Conspiracy"
@@admiralgaius9796 The Grand Hot Pie Conspiracy came scary close to giving me a cardiac arrest. Oh my god that's beautiful honestly.
I got these:
Viserys warged into a pigeon
Rhaegar hooked up with Victarion at the tourney of Harrenhal
Bran Targaryen
Gilly will destroy Winterfell
Edit: I did a couple more and I got "The Ser Pounce Master Plan" this thing is amazing
“Rickon will kill Jon Snow with Lightbringer in Volantis”
“Victarion will skinchange into Bloodraven”
“Osmund Kettleblack and Doran will get married in Volantis”
“Grey Worm Targaryen”
“Andals will take over Qarth”
“Moon Boy, Walder Frey and Benjen are the three heads of the dragon”
“Marillion is secretly Alys Karstark”
“Roose Bolton will fall in love with Timett son of Timett”
“Samwell killed Renly”
“Greatjon Umber hooked up with Darkstar at the tourney of Harrenhal”
“Thoros will fall in love with Thoros”
“Ashara Dayne isn't dead”
“Beric will fall in love with Wyman Manderly”
“Drogon Targaryen”
i can't get over the idea of "the hive mind of Frey's" just because i rewatched Prestons Frey Civil war vid like a couple days ago. "hey me?" "Yeah me?" "you see that other bunch of me's over there?" "Yeh?" "FUCK those me's!"
27:24 - I didn't know how much the sound of your theories BREAKING Schwifty's brain would bring me joy and life 😂
April 1st is my favorite day of the year, because it’s the only day of the year where a Glidus video is guaranteed to come out.
the wild laughter when schwift says "youre telling me that THREE of these are REAL???" for question 9 hits different on a rewatch
I originally read this title as "fnaf asoiaf theories" and was *beyond* confused
Based on this video, I'd say those are real theories
Euron did the bite of 87 as a horse
The Puppet is being controlled by Bloodraven
@@KaitlinLuksa Thats no theory, thats canon.
I know i'm two years late to the party, but i cried actual tears of laughter at the reveal of the horse question. I wish you'd make another April Fools test, this is to me the funniest fucking thing on youtube.
Also I got half of them right, and it's got me worried about my level of ASOIAF brainrot
I love that none of them believe the Khal Drogo is a Horse theory even though it's literally Glidus' masterpiece
I really wanted the all "Walders are the same time travelling Walder" one to be real. Let's make it real.
having watched schwifty's seven hour theory iceberg literally yesterday may give me an edge on this quiz
The reactions to the Horse question wins the “thing I can’t stop playing over and over” award for this month.
Glidus brings our ASOIAF family of theorists together. We love you Glidus. Hail Glidus the Great Uniter!
I watched this on an airplane and was trying to quietly laugh so badly the flight attendant came and asked if I was okay lol. This is incredible
I got all of the first one right, lmao. I really did want the Council of Walders to be real, though - I wanted someone to be living that dream.
Every now and then when my mental health take a turn for the worse, i come back and watch this video and just laugh myself silly. Its such an amazing comfort. All hail the OmniWalder
Glidus and Jacobs appear in the same video.
The apotheosis is at hands brothers.
Storm the den of the scion of gluttony.
Rend its flesh from bone and raise it as our banner.
The winds of winter shall never come to pass, let us bathe in the eternal autumn.
Roose Bolton will rule the north forever.
Its 2024 and this is still one of my absolute favourite video, just straight up
Here is the best theory ever. Jon Snow wrote the Pink Letter, but not Jon Snow Jon Snow but an alternate personality of Jon who is The Prince that was Promised. In order to make himself go for it, Jon (aka the Prince) wrote the letter, then sent it to himself - and they don't share memories, so Jon does not know that he himself wrote the Pink Letter for himself. Also explains why The Prince has a different writing style than both Jon and Ramsey.
That's the plot of the short-lived BBC series "Jekyll"!
[Insert TFS Future Trunks screaming]: Nooooooooooooo!
So Jon’s just a Schizo then, sounds legit.
I had a stroke while reading this
The rule of thumb with identity theories is that if characters have even a single, minuscule similarity then someone thinks they’re the same guy.
The best fake theory.
That d and d actually tried making something good
This video is the first one I've see from this channel.
Needless to say, I'm now a fan.
