In light of Game of Thrones coming back this weekend, Sesame Street has spoofed the show with a short film imagining the characters playing an elaborate game of musical chairs with mini replicas of the Iron Throne. There is a silver one made out of golf clubs and golf balls, a copper one made out of ping pong paddles and a gold one made out of baseball bats and wiffle balls. Sit back, and let the games begin.

Season five of the most-watched HBO series of all time premieres April 12.
