Polay—HBO by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Jun 9, 2016 2:45 PM UTC [_Game of Thrones_](http://time.com/4360024/game-of-thrones-episode-8-description-arya-stark/?iid=sr-link3) and [_30 Rock_](http://time.com/3615987/bill-cosby-sexual-assault-allegations-30-rock/?iid=sr-link1) are arguably two of the greatest television shows ever, but what if they were mashed up in to one truly amazing television show? A new video gives fans a very brief taste of what it could be like if [Liz Lemon](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/01/18/watch-tina-fey-gives-a-tour-of-liz-lemons-office/?iid=sr-link2) moved in with the Lannisters of Casterly Rock. The video comes from YouTube channel [Practical Folks](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXMyUOJEQr5vOrFPD-pweTw) and it re-imagines the opening credits of _Game of Thrones._ Gone are the dramatic swells of the show’s epic theme and the ever-evolving map of Westeros, replaced by the zany, zippy sounds of the _30 Rock_ introduction. Swap Tyrion Lannister for Tina Fey, Jaime Lannister for Alec Baldwin, and King Tommen for Judah Friedlander (wait, can we make that one really happen, please?) and you have everyone’s favorite new TV show, _30 Casterly Rock!_ Now if we could just get Hodor to do an [EDM remix](http://time.com/3962246/hodor-edm-game-of-thrones-music-dance-kristian-nairn/?iid=sr-link4) of the song. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4362520/game-of-thrones-30-rock-casterly-rock-mashup/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4362520/game-of-thrones-30-rock-casterly-rock-mashup/"},"headline":"30 Casterly Rock is the Game of Thrones-30 Rock Mashup of Your Dreams","datePublished":"2016-06-09T14:45:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:11.205Z","description":"(30) Rock on, Lannisters","url":"https://time.com/4362520/game-of-thrones-30-rock-casterly-rock-mashup/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","Viral Videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt19d9d89ac36b3d1b/698897062dce0125db9e9669/game-of-thrones-episode-8-facebook.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt19d9d89ac36b3d1b/698897062dce0125db9e9669/game-of-thrones-episode-8-facebook.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"game-of-thrones-episode-8-facebook","caption":"","creditText":"Macall B.
