The funniest Game of Thrones memes from last night, for your viewing pleasure
Warning: MAJOR Game of Thrones Season 8 spoilers ahead!
The Game of Thrones episode we’ve all been waiting for finally aired last night, May 12th. And just like past penultimate episodes have taught us (aka “The Red Wedding”), we should always expect the unexpected from this show. Not only did Season 8, Episode 5, titled “The Bells,” feature Daenerys Targaryen following in the Mad King’s footsteps, but we also witnessed a ton of major character deaths, including Lord Varys, Euron Greyjoy, The Hound, and the long-awaited demise of Cersei and Jaime Lannister who—to everyone’s surprise—died in each other’s arms.
It was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster for fans, many of whom were extremely disappointed by several key episode details. And what most of us thought would happen in the series finale is going to change now that Dany is the Mad Queen and Kings Landing is charred beyond recognition.
As always, fans had a lot of thoughts—and we’ve compiled a list of all the best memes about them.
Varys was right about Daenerys all along.

Dany lost her chill and literally burned the whole place down.

After eight seasons, it was a rock that finished Cersei off? (Really?)
When you wait 10 years and 8 seasons just to see Cersei Lannister get killed by a brick 🤦🏽♂️ #DemThrones #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/n2j0lzgAlT

The way #Cersei died was not the way she was supposed to die. Her death was supposed to be long and painful. I feel horribly cheated.#GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/kGxx0yN2yV

Arya Stark went through a lot (as per usual), which has fans thinking they know how the show will come to an end. (*cough* green eyes *cough*)
