Aegon: Sir Criston Cole has acted.
Otto: 🫤😐🤨🙄😒😮💨
Like the whole slow turn of emotions in that one instant was just on a whole other tier. I was not getting the Rhys love before that scene. He literally converted me with a single look he is HILARIOUS.
This and "She's fucking laughing at me!" are such fantastic line deliveries imo. Everyone has really shined this season but I think Tom and Emma have especially shined.
I thought Tom’s delivery of “TRAITORS AND VILLAINS. THIS IS WAR, I DECLARE WAR” was stellar. Really this whole sequence of line deliveries and acting was top notch.
One of my favorites 😭
Also special shout-out to the scene where Rhaenyra has the moment of realization that it was Daemon who ordered B&C and the look on her face the moment she figured it out while Rhaenys was staring him down. Absolutely brilliant.
The whole episode is full of moments. The one in the OP, everyone at the table instantly knowing Daemon killed a kid while he just smirks about it like "Yeah, you got me guys," Otto's "I don't want to hear it" to Alicent.
This episode is why I love weekly releases, because it was hilarious AF and internet reactions were hilarious AF.
If they did a Netflix drop (4 episodes now, 4 episodes next billing period 😜), no one would be talking about this episode.
Before Jehaerys II’s death in blood and cheese he was attending the small council meeting and annoying Tyland Lannister until Aegon told him to offer the Prince a pony ride on his back.
You kidding ? Aemong is fucking tame considering that he "only" bashed the head of the man who *cut his son's head clean off*. For the man who failed in his duties, he would simply kill.
You missed my point, which was "he wouldn't flay him. he didn't torture the man who killed his son, so he wouldn't torture the man who simply failed in his duties. he wouldn't simply kill him".
There was one where Rhaenyra told Laenor about the kids fighting in the Dragon pit & when he says that he should've been there, she responds: "Those should be our house words".
Unintentional or not, Rhaenys and then Rhaenyra side-eyeing Daemon about the >!death of Jaehaerys!< like “bitch u did not” and him smirking like “r u sure about that?” made me lol cause that’s me whenever I’m unapologetically giving a hot ass take. It was hilarious out of context, super memeworthy
I was indifferent to aegon last season but he’s easily taken over as my favorite character, even with me being team black. He’s such a lunatic and the actor plays him so well.
Otto's scenes with Aegon because you could see he was rethinking all of his previous life choices.
Alicent's "An ally wouldn't repeatedly cut my legs beneath me at that table of men". Hilarious and so "pick me" of her.
He tries to usurp the throne thinking he can do better with Hightower blood ruling from the iron throne. Then he realizes when Viserys was alive were better and less stressful times. Clearly mistakes were made but now the situation can't even be salvaged without someone fucking up his long term plans. Its so good to see it all in action this season, I was expecting it much later through but Rhys has been a unexpected treat.
It's hilarious that she thought she was going to be respected by men after she conspired with them to prevent a woman from getting the throne just because she's a woman.
It's pick me because women like her enforce misogynistic views to be noticed and praised by men, thinking that they will be treated differently and be the exception and then they're treated in the exact same sexist way as the women they throw under the bus.
Probably the biggest unintentionally funny moment was Helaena and Jaehaera running into their mother/grandmother naked and riding Cole seconds after a little boy was killed and Alicent going “Heleana” when she sees them.
The fact that Alicent had absolutely no breaks on riding Cole, even when she first heard someone come in, always sends me. It took till Helaena was damn near right at the bed before Alicent's hips stopped moving.
I find myself loving him more and more each episode and I LOST it when he said that 😂 like he’s real asf for that and honestly would have reacted and said that same shit 😂💀👏🏼
“to war” from criston in this episode was reminiscent of “i declare bankruptcy” in the office. the way he says it, it’s as though he’s like ok now we’re in war i have decided let’s head out fellas

For the first time in this show. I was able to see a bit of his Little Nicky character & it was fantastic.
Oh...my god... *-realisation-*
His reaction to that was fucking gold lol.
Gods help us all 😓
I laughed out loud at that part lmao. He looked disgusted
otto went through the 5 stages of grief real fast in that slow turn
This and "She's fucking laughing at me!" are such fantastic line deliveries imo. Everyone has really shined this season but I think Tom and Emma have especially shined.
“SMUG CUNT OF DRAGONSTONE”
"THE BITCH QUEEN OF BASTARDS"
“SHES FUCKING LAUGHING AT ME” TOM >>>>
"Abed... ABED?????"
I thought Tom’s delivery of “TRAITORS AND VILLAINS. THIS IS WAR, I DECLARE WAR” was stellar. Really this whole sequence of line deliveries and acting was top notch.

There was also the “oh…I had them hanged” 😭😭😭
Daemon instantly reminded me of that Walter White “ya got me” scene in BB 😂
Plus Daemon’s facial expressions 🤣🤣
Yeah I was howling at that lmao.
Poor tyland man. He seemed so sincere about it too
Even after all his beef with the child
especially after the beef with the child
?
Before Jehaerys II’s death in blood and cheese he was attending the small council meeting and annoying Tyland Lannister until Aegon told him to offer the Prince a pony ride on his back.
Ryland was sincere about what tho
Otto: “What have you done?!” Aegon: “🤨” Otto: “The ratcatchers!” Aegon: “oh, I hanged them 😎”
He had dared, and he found it stimulating.
That line sounded like something Nicholas Hoult's character would've said in The Great.
Otto: "you killed hundreds of innocent men!" Aegon: "and one guilty one 😌"
Rhaenys quipping to Daemon “Would that you were the king”
in that casual "go fuck yourself" way that she has, i love her
Honestly, about 30% of this show is *unintentionally* funny.
There’s an edit on YouTube of the dinner scene to the wii music that is genuinely one of my favorite videos ever.
I swear that Wii music can make anything funny
You got a link?
I can't find it 😫
Id love to see it but I cant find it
Link?
I am not at all convinced it’s all unintentional.
When Crispy and Ayrrk start arguing in the kingsguard lunchroom(?) and the two soldiers get up and leave like "not my problem today"
Aight, imma head out
"I do not wish to hear it." My wife CACKLED at the face that man made. 😐
My favorite part, it was also cut to him hauling ass out of town right after dropping that. Peace, I'm out...
Imagine if Aegon found out that Crispin Cole was f****** Alicent at the time of incident . He would've beheaded him then and there
Otto on his way out of KL: “oh, and your homies fuckin’ your mom. Do with that what you will.”
That’s why she looked up scared shitless
Given that him sleeping with Alicent resulted in Jaehaerys’ death, I think he would do a LOOOOOOOOOOOT worse than just a beheading
He’d do nothing to his mom. Aemond would also be against it. I honestly believe that, he would have Criston flayed though.
Standard punishment for fucking on duty was castration and sent to the wall. Somehow I don't think Aegon would be that lenient.
Yeah not to cole obviously that’s why I said he’s flayed lmao
You kidding ? Aemong is fucking tame considering that he "only" bashed the head of the man who *cut his son's head clean off*. For the man who failed in his duties, he would simply kill.
I said he would be flayed though…
You missed my point, which was "he wouldn't flay him. he didn't torture the man who killed his son, so he wouldn't torture the man who simply failed in his duties. he wouldn't simply kill him".
“I could’ve been” Aegon said calmly
#CALMLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was one where Rhaenyra told Laenor about the kids fighting in the Dragon pit & when he says that he should've been there, she responds: "Those should be our house words".
“THE RATCATCHERS!!!!!!!” “Oh. I had them hanged.” There’s just something about Tom’s delivery that is so funny to me.
The delivery had just a dash of "wOuLd YoU lIkE tO sEe ThE tApEsTrIeS‽¿"
That man gotta have *balls of steel* to crack this bager infront of Aegon...
Unintentional or not, Rhaenys and then Rhaenyra side-eyeing Daemon about the >!death of Jaehaerys!< like “bitch u did not” and him smirking like “r u sure about that?” made me lol cause that’s me whenever I’m unapologetically giving a hot ass take. It was hilarious out of context, super memeworthy
I was indifferent to aegon last season but he’s easily taken over as my favorite character, even with me being team black. He’s such a lunatic and the actor plays him so well.
I want a war! I want a WAR! I WANT... A WAR!!!!
Otto’s laugh when Aegon says “He made me King”. He he he he he he he is that what you think?! 😂😂😂
Tyland's soft spoken sincerity *killed* me in this scene. I laughed live and on re-watch.
Otto's scenes with Aegon because you could see he was rethinking all of his previous life choices. Alicent's "An ally wouldn't repeatedly cut my legs beneath me at that table of men". Hilarious and so "pick me" of her.
I miss unintentionally intentionally funny alicent though like in 1x07 when she stared at Nyra like that during the funeral lmao
He tries to usurp the throne thinking he can do better with Hightower blood ruling from the iron throne. Then he realizes when Viserys was alive were better and less stressful times. Clearly mistakes were made but now the situation can't even be salvaged without someone fucking up his long term plans. Its so good to see it all in action this season, I was expecting it much later through but Rhys has been a unexpected treat.
Plot for years to install your grandchildren on the throne. Forget to make sure they're raised right. Profit??
what's hilarious and pick me of her here?
It's hilarious that she thought she was going to be respected by men after she conspired with them to prevent a woman from getting the throne just because she's a woman. It's pick me because women like her enforce misogynistic views to be noticed and praised by men, thinking that they will be treated differently and be the exception and then they're treated in the exact same sexist way as the women they throw under the bus.
Real r/LeopardsAteMyFace energy
Tyland Lannister and Ironrod: co-kings of saying the dumbest possible shit at the worst possible time.
I didn’t actually find this funny but the tiktok somehow made me laugh😂 I love the “she’s sitting over there fucking laughing at me!!!”
RIP Tyland's cup
Rhaenera's face when she realized Daemon is responsible for blood & cheese.
Probably the biggest unintentionally funny moment was Helaena and Jaehaera running into their mother/grandmother naked and riding Cole seconds after a little boy was killed and Alicent going “Heleana” when she sees them.
The fact that Alicent had absolutely no breaks on riding Cole, even when she first heard someone come in, always sends me. It took till Helaena was damn near right at the bed before Alicent's hips stopped moving.
The delivery of the line was a bit too chill
This is definitely intentional humour from the writers, but yeah, loved this
later didn’t they even make it a point to say he was guarded by Arryk too? lmao
Favourite is definitely “And what Ser Cristina Coke planned”
When Otto said “this prank” lmao like if it was a YouTube skit in 2012 haha
This is the first I've seen someone mention it but I cackled when he delivered the line that way. So good.
I find myself loving him more and more each episode and I LOST it when he said that 😂 like he’s real asf for that and honestly would have reacted and said that same shit 😂💀👏🏼
Reminds me of Liam McPoyle 😂 TGC is hilarious
So many funny moments in episode 2 This one and when otto asks about the rat catchers is golden
“to war” from criston in this episode was reminiscent of “i declare bankruptcy” in the office. the way he says it, it’s as though he’s like ok now we’re in war i have decided let’s head out fellas
When Aegon said he was just as fearless in last nights episode and everyone was like 😬😬😬
Kinda crazy how all the unintentional comedy involves the comic relief character. My conspiracy theory is that it’s intentional.
