This feels unnecessary, it is obvious Sansa has a point here, but the Narm comes from the Sophie Turner's line-reading and the ridiculous response.


** [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Or it can come across as a sensible person asking a very important question in a situation where provisions are in short supply.]] Of course that makes Daenerys sound even more ridiculous.

** Littlefinger's accent has been [[OohMeAccentsSlipping wandering all over the place]] since Season 2, making it really hard to take all his supposed MagnificentBastard scheming seriously, especially when he's pretending to be [[GutturalGrowler Irish Batman]]. It gets even ''worse'' in Season 4, especially on the ship with Sansa: "Oy'm teeking you… to The Veeeeel," and by Season 6 it's so bad that ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' gave him two credits as "Littlefinger's accent" and "Littlefinger's other accent."

* Dany's speech to Jorah about how she intends to rule Westeros is clearly meant to be an SugarWiki/{{awesome moment|s}} and sign of her potential character growth, but the speech itself is extremely cheesy and feels rather forced and gratuitous. This is not helped by Clarke's delivery (even her fans generally agree this is ''not'' her best moment): "[[DullSurprise I will do what queens do… I will]] [[LastSecondWordSwap roo.]]"

The information was wrong, Unella has more dialogue on season six.


** It's bound to incite laughter when you realise her actress was on the show for two seasons and literally just said two words repeated over and over again (the other word was "confess"). With Hodor, it was a tragic plot point. With Unella, you wonder how the actress [[SarcasmMode memorised all those lines]].

* The dogs that play the direwolves are ''not'' very good actors. It's hard not to laugh when CGI blood flies everywhere as a happy puppy jumps up and gnaws gleefully on a chew toy, and when Ghost is trying to warn Jon that the wights are up and about, the "wolf"'s whining and scratching at the door are so dog-like that it seems like Jon should be asking, [[Series/{{Lassie}} "What is it, girl?]] Did Rickon [[TimmyInAWell fall down the well again?]]"

* Daenerys's arc in this season has several moments of this, because it consists mostly of her wandering around Qarth arguing and yelling at other people ("''Where are my dragons?!''") and not being taken seriously, all while people around her turn inexplicably evil and [[PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure betray her for no reason]], especially since none of them [[AdaptationalVillainy did so in the book]].
* The Qarth arc also includes the masked mystic woman Quaithe from the books but, unlike the novels, the show [[AdaptationExplanationExtrication never bothers to explain]] who she is or why she's even there, and she's never mentioned again, making her two scenes feel like {{Big Lipped Alligator Moment}}s in which Jorah is visited by the Exposition Fairy, since she blatantly tells him that Dany's very important and that he's in love with her. Thanks, CaptainObvious!

* When [[spoiler: Jaime]]'s hand gets sliced off at the end of "Walk of Punishment", he screams in terror and pain, and the scene [[MoodWhiplash abruptly cuts]] to the credits... with an upbeat and completely out of place [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgiTB2NFvAM rock song]], to the raucous laughter of everyone watching.

* The tragedy (or {{catharsis|Factor}}) of Stannis' HumiliationConga in "Mother's Mercy" can cross right over into BlackComedy via its UpToEleven nature: his army deserts him, his wife [[DrivenToSuicide hangs herself]], his guru abandons him, etc. Most of it happens off-screen and in such a ludicrously short time that the second he finishes hearing awful news, even worse news arrives until it feels like an infomercial ("But wait, there's more!") and you could be forgiven for expecting [[Film/RobinHoodMenInTights Blinkin]] to appear and comment: "Oh, it's good to be home, ain't it, Master Stannis?"

** The {{fight|SceneFailure}} of the Sand Snakes vs. Jaime and Bronn is ''appallingly'' cheesy and looks like it was made for an action BMovie. None of the Snakes' actions look fast enough, Obara of the BadassBoast can't even beat a crippled Jaime Lannister, Nym's whipping is at best a mild annoyance, and—''[[http://33.media.tumblr.com/0f1bc9fd68fa50d24996bb37d67a600d/tumblr_inline_nokmxtqcuG1rku3fs_540.gif Oh, good grief, Tyene!]]'' Then it concludes with Obara giving another BadassBoast… before throwing down her spear when her opponents don't immediately surrender to her.

Bronn's opening quip of "Oh, for fuck's sake" mirror's the audience reaction quite nicely.

* Arya saying "I know a killer when I see one" regarding Dany might've been good foreshadowing and a display of keen insight on Arya's part earlier in the season. Coming on the heels of watching Dany immolate an entire city it's more tempting to shout "No shit, Sherlock!" It was so obviously scripted to be a cool one-liner that it was hilarious, especially since her being a killer isn't up for debate. It's an out-of-place line meant to sound cool that comes off as hilarious.

''Many'' characters in the setting are killers, including Arya herself; the line just doesn't have the same weight that it would have in a killer isn't up for debate. different setting. It's an even more out-of-place line meant to sound cool that comes when Arya says it after Dany has immolated a city, making it both obvious and an extreme understatement, thus making it come off as hilarious.
