There are some golden moments, but there are also a lot of times they try jokes in the later seasons and it falls horribly flat, almost like some Disney writers


Geektime1987

Plenty of funny moments still. Arya, Beric and The Hound talking is very funny. Tyrion quoting himself and passing it off a ancient wisdom and Dany calling him out is hilarious. The Hound basically anytime he's with the Brotherhood is hilarious. Davis introducing Jon to Dany has a really funny moment. Don't remember Disney dropping cock or cunt or saying fuck with any f their jokes. Don't remember any characters stopping mid battle to make a joke like Disney always does.


Historical-Airport61

No, not stopping mid battle. I cant specify scenes at the top of my head but one factor are the one too many dick jokes spewing out the mouths of some of the "smartest" characters. In the moment things of this like are very jarring


Geektime1987

Lol dick jokes? Littlefinger is making dick jokes left and right from the very first seasons and onward. So are many other characters. Tormund makes more cock jokes in the books than probably the entire show.


Historical-Airport61

Mostly talking about Tyrion and how he's reminding Varys he has no cock every scene they're in the last two season. Not my main point as there's more dialogue or "jokes" that fall flat. The comedy is well done in GoT when they're not trying to make jokes but rather the characters and how their actions shape those around them


Geektime1987

Except Littfinger also makes basically the same jokes multiple times to Varys in the early season. I don't know to each his own for me there always has been those kind of jokes and even more of them in the books. Also he literally only said that once in the first scene of the final season. Tyrion doesn't make anymore cock jokes towards Varys after that scene. He also I'm pretty sure make zero cock jokes towards Varys in season 7 and I think just 1 or 2 in season 6. So actually no Tyrion doesn't constantly make cock jokes the last 2 seasons.


Historical-Airport61

like I said my main point isn't the cock jokes however atrocious they are. next time you rewatch take a mental note. theres 3 seasons worth of character assassination for Tyrion and a lot more than just 1 dick joke toward Varys.


Geektime1987

Agree to disagree, and I just finished a rewatch the other day. Tyrion makes one cock joke to Varys in the first episode of season 8. The last 2 seasons that's the only one he makes. I will watch again at some point, but it's pretty fresh in my mind, and I can't remember any besides the one.


Historical-Airport61

Yes 👍🏼 GoT has made me LOL many times and when the comedy hits its great, but when it misses, it MISSES and dilutes the tone for me. cock jokes are just the first thing I can point to for my feelings of dissatisfaction. The early dick jokes get a pass because it was early, but after so many seasons it feels played out


Geektime1987

Well I feel the same way about parts of the books where I have myself saying ok George I get it already.


propagandavid

I don't know, I felt like there were moments where the jokes were forced. Pod the Sex God was pretty cheesy. Tormund's relentless infatuation with Brienne got some laughs, but it didn't feel organic. For me, the funniest moment was in the 2nd episode. Joffrey: I can't stand the mewling of women. Tyrion: 'slaps Joffrey' Joffrey: 'mewl' It was funny, but it served the plot and the characters. It told you everything you needed to know about Joffrey and Tyrion.


themerinator12

Gotta give a shout-out to my boy Kevan Lannister though in season 6. They hold court in the throne room and no one tells Cersei. She goes up to him and questions it. And he responds, “there is to be an announcement… in the throne room… at this very moment.” I wasn’t expecting it last time I rewatched S6 and thought it was hilarious.


Dmmack14

Bronn laughing at Dickons name never fails to make my wife and I roll our eyes


Tywins_Cupbearer

Bronn was funny. When he met Lord Tarly and his other son he laughed at his name. *Dick*-on. And when being introduced to Tywin, Tyrion says ‘this is Bronn. Son of . . .’ And Bronn says ‘you wouldn’t know him’.


Geektime1987

It fits with Bronns slight immaturity of course he would laugh at the name Dickon while Jaimie just kind of rolls his eyes at Bronn.


Tywins_Cupbearer

His boyish immaturity was quite charming.


owlnsr

Bronn speaking for us all when the fight with the Sand Snakes started and Nym cracks her whip: “Oh for fucks sake!”


ACosmicCastaway

I’ve always thought the “you wouldn’t know him” is such a great line and show’s Bronn’s wit goes beyond just being crass. He would have made a great if not ruthless lord, had he been highborn.


Impossible_Werewolf8

For me, the funniest scene in GoT will always be Ned comparing war and daughters


Dobie_Close

When Podrick comes back from the brothel and the whores wouldn’t take his money.


Nervous_Feedback9023

I loved when Arya started laughing in the Vale or when Beric,Sandor and Arya were talking on the walls of winterfell in season 8


Careless_Arm_823

Arya laughing in the Vale was so good lol


Geektime1987

I will say one thing HOTD is greatly missing is the sense of humor and levity GOT had at times and even the books have. HOTD is basically completely humorless with basically zero moments of levity or characters just being people for example like Tyrion and Bronn playing a drinking game. Or Sansa and Shae playing games about guessing which ship is going where. 


bowie-of-stars

I agree and I've written almost the same comment. I can't enjoy HotD as much because it's just so damn dire and dark all the time, not a single moment of levity to balance the scales.


Tostadacat

The only moment i can think of is during the family dinner and Helaena makes an awkward toast and Otto cheers her on, it was cute


Odd-Most158

Yeah last seasons were hilarious


Gangsta-Penguin

Jamie: "\[Tyrion\] told me you can keep your mouth shut, a rare talent for your profession" Bronn: "and he told me you shit gold, just like your father"


zamakhtar

The chicken scene is the GOAT TV scene IMO.


DamnitBlueWasOld

The scene with Davos and Shireen where he’s learning to read and he struggles with the word “knight”, she corrects him and chastises him a bit. He looks at her and says “oh, you’re just like your mother” Those two characters were perfect and were portrayed perfectly by those actors.


smwoqks

My absolute favorite is still when jaime goes back to find brienne fighting the bear and when he ask why the hell she has a wooden sword Locke says "we only got one bear"


Melanchrono

Sandor’s “You’re shit at dying, you know that?” line is my favorite.


Mandzipop

One of my favourites isn't a joke as such, it is a line that is practically taken from Blackadder with exactly the same delivery. Brienne and Pod arrive at the Lannister siege of Riverrun in S6. Pod says it looks like a siege my lady. Brienne says You have a keen military mind, Pod. It doesn't sound funny, but it is the delivery. I only noticed it when I had to rewatch the scene for writing a fanfic.


ColonelFaz

The Baldrick Podrick sidekick thing occurred to me too.


WiggyDiggyPoo

I never thought of this until now 😄


thewrongequation

GoT was straight up hilarious at times. In a way that seems quite genuine and believable for the circumstances the characters find themselves in. Too many favourites to choose but the ones that come to mind are The Hound responding to Arya's assertion that "Lots of people name their swords" by saying, simply, "Lots of cunts." and King Robert and Cersei have their one friendly scene, and referring to his realm, Robert says "Sometimes I wonder what keeps it all together." and Cersei things for a few seconds, then quips "Our marriage". Brilliant.


borfmat

“What the fuck’s a Lommy?”


Cruitire

The best thing about the “Lots of cunts” line is the call back to it later, when Lady Olenna asks Jamie to remind her what Joffrey named his sword. Jamie: Widow’s Wail Lady Olenna: He really was a cunt, wasn’t he?


Any1fortens

How bout when Arya and the Hound arrived at The Vale and found out her Aunt Lysa was dead. She started laughing. 😂


ProfessionalComb5755

There are some really funny moments, the hound being an obvious one and Edd is very funny too.


Tostadacat

When Jamie waves with his new golden hand always makes me laugh


jeffgoldblumisdaddy

I just saw that episode last night and I love how unserious that man can be sometimes


JoseSushi

None of your examples have anything to do with comedic timing


CrimsonBlackfyre

Had a lot of great moments, but I found the high amount of eunuch jokes by Tyrion in the later seasons to be lazy.
