1	----
2	* King Robert being completely ignorant of Renly's homosexuality during their hunting scene ("Have you ever fucked a Riverlands girl?") is quite amusing after you finish watching Season 3. The show now portrays Renly and Loras' romance as ''the'' worst kept secret in all of Westeros; virtually ''everyone'' besides Sansa seems to know about it, so how the heck is it that Robert didn't have a clue?
3	* If Lady Olenna Tyrell knew the song "Betcha By Golly Wow" by The Stylistics, she'd have even more reason to hate the Tyrell motto, "Growing Strong".
4	* A deleted scene on the season 3 DVD has Tywin meeting Pycelle in private and revealing he knows full well that Pycelle's appearance of a doddering old man is an act, asking "Am I the only one who sees through this performance?" (Speaking normally, Pycelle admits even he has a hard time believing it works so well). With this in mind, watch when Pycelle and Tywin share a scene in seasons 3 and 4 and you can see Tywin fighting not to roll his eyes when Pycelle speaks and even glancing about as if thinking "Seriously? You all buy this?"
5	* One has to wonder what the Lannisters would make of Music/KatyPerry's song "Roar", which repeats their motto "Hear Me Roar" several times, especially since the song talks about roaring "louder than a lion".
6	* "He was no true dragon. Fire cannot kill a dragon" becomes funny to those who've seen ''Film/TheHobbitTheDesolationOfSmaug'' and realise that Daenerys is absolutely correct.
7	* The [[RuleThirtyFour porn parody]] of ''Game Of Thrones'' has a scene between Ygritte and Jon Snow, where she seduces him by convincing him his vows prevent him from owning a land and title, or taking a wife... but this leaves a bit of [[ExactWords wiggle room]] which they exploit. Then come season 4, where Sam gives a similar argument to Jon Snow, though about himself and Gilly.
8	* And of course the SlapSlapKiss dynamic between Ygritte and Jon when you discover that their actors got together and eventually married.
9	* Season 3 has Jaime mocking Brienne about Renly, claiming that "if the Iron Throne was made of cock they'd never keep him off it." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDGF_OTC-XE Well...]]
10	* The season 4 finale, in which [[spoiler:Tywin is directly confronted with the fact that two of his children are incestuous lovers and his grandchildren are the product of it, then gets killed by his other son]], happened to air on Father's Day.
11	* In season 3, Tywin, after announcing his plan to marry Cersei to Ser Loras, has a discussion with Lady Olenna about Cersei's fertility. Then in February 2015, Creator/LenaHeadey announced that she was pregnant with her second child.
12	* In the Season 5 premiere, blonde-haired former queen Cersei suddenly has more power than ever before and is the de facto ruler of Westeros. The very day it premiered, UsefulNotes/HillaryClinton announced her candidacy for President.
13	* It seems the Lannister incest trend has invaded the real world, as Tommen and Myrcella's actors are now dating. Even better, they never actually worked together on the show so it doesn't quite count as RomanceOnTheSet.
14	** Even better: Wargrave punctiliously attends the execution of every man he's sentenced to death. He doesn't pull the rope himself, but it seems Ned's practices have rubbed off...
15	* In Season 6, [[spoiler:by far the most popular theory about Jon was that Melisandre would bring him back to life. Then the premiere reveals that she's actually an extremely old woman, and looks quite similar to [[Literature/ThePrincessBride Miracle Max]], the Trope Namer for OnlyMostlyDead.]]
16	* The Father’s Day shenanigans got even funnier in Season 6, as the episode that aired on that day has a scene between Dany, Tyrion, Theon, and Yara, where Dany points out that every one of them had horrible fathers who left the world worse off for their presence.
17	* In the Season 6 finale, one of the titles Jon is given is "The White Wolf." The irony is not lost upon [[Franchise/TheWitcher Witcher]] and [[Literature/TheElricSaga Elric]] fans, since all three franchises use the same epithet to refer to sword-wielding badasses who [[spoiler:come back from death]] and end up fighting an invasion of supernatural creatures from a frozen realm, and in the case of Elric, is reluctant about his destiny on account of his loved ones dying around him.
18	* One of the jokes the producers played on the cast in early seasons was creating fake "death scenes" for the characters. It went well until Creator/AlfieAllen was completely nonchalant about his, which involved him being killed, then being resurrected naked. [[spoiler: Jump to Seasons 5 and 6, and that is just about exactly what happened to Jon Snow.]]
19	* After the Purple Wedding Tywin orders the city gates closed declaring "No One Leaves the Capital!!" we then cut to Sansa...leaving the capital. Then in Season 5, we saw Arya's training with the Faceless Men but some declared that Sansa became No One before Arya.
20	* In season 1, Ned jokingly tells Arya [[TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry not to stab her sister]] with her sword Needle. By season 7, after several years of trauma and training to be a killer, she's literally issuing Sansa death threats by insinuating that she'll skin her face with her Valyrian steel knife. Oh, and both blades were given to her by one of her brothers.
21	* In 2006, Creator/AlfieAllen's older sister [[Music/LilyAllen Lily]] released a song mocking him for being such a loser. Now Alfie's playing a character who lives in the shadow of his more competent older sister. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=366_NM97ovo The parodies write themselves]].
22	* “The night is dark and full of terrors.” So dark, in fact, that the final battle against it was notoriously incomprehensible.
23	* There's a 2015 ''Series/SesameStreet'' parody skit called "Game of Chairs", which is a literal game of musical chairs. Grover has to remove a heavy chair in-between turns and says [[spoiler:"should get some wheels on these chairs..." At the end of ''Game of Thrones'', the wheelchair-bound Bran Stark becomes King of the Six Kingdoms.]]
24	* Years before ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'' got greenlit, Joffrey casually [[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E4AndNowHisWatchIsEnded discussed the eventual fate of Rhaenyra Targaryen]] on a tour through the Sept of Baelor. Fans quickly pointed out how fitting it was that [[HateSink Joffrey]] of all people would deliver such a major spoiler for the series.
