In the Game Of Thrones parody “School Of Thrones,” you win prom king or you die
The Internet needs more Game Of Thrones fan parodies like White Walkers need fire (references!), but when they’re as well-executed as “School Of Thrones,” we’ll allow it. Game Of Thrones’ world of houses, sigils, and family honor translates surprisingly well to the clique-obsessed world of Westeros Valley High, where the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, and Greyjoys battle it out on the field of popularity, taking little notice of dragon-obsessed transfer student (presumably from Essos Valley) Daenerys Targaryen and her horrible wig. “School Of Thrones” really succeeds in the details, though, from the spot-on opening title sequence to Razor-riding Renly mocking his dweeby evangelist older brother Stannis (“I’m not adorable, I’m Stannis!) to the suitably twerpy actor playing Joffrey. The brand-new webseries is only one episode old—new episodes post on Sundays—but like its inspiration, the pilot bodes very well for future installments.
