The Best Memes of Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4

May 5, 2019 11:28 PM EDT

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones.

“The Last of the Starks,” the fourth Game of Thrones’ episode of season 8 on Sunday night, was filled with so many unintentionally comical moments thanks to all those power moves.

After some Winterfell celebrating and deliberating, the action eventually headed to King’s Landing where just about all the key players were clamoring for a slice of power or at least unacknowledged craving for some personal agency.

As usual, it was bleak central, but even if the story’s far from a laugh riot, the memes are. With the Westerosi in a near-perpetual state of sparring, lusting, or key decision-making, the show still somehow felt like comedy gold on Twitter.

Finding the joke opportunities between the true shockers of the evening like Missandei’s execution and Jamie and Brienne of Tarth sleeping together, people sapped the comedy out of the moments to quickly fire out the memes that spread on the wings of joy.

Don’t worry. Catelyn Stark was right when she said “laughter is poison to fear.”

Here are the most delightful of the bunch in this round-up of the best memes of Game of Thrones season 8 episode 4:

The Goodbye for Ghost that never was

Not giving Ghost one scritch as he says goodbye forever after he was such a good boy during the battle of the Night King disqualifies Jon instantly from the Iron Throne. This is not up for debate. #GameofThrones
