'Game of Thrones' Parody Cartoon 'Lil Thrones' Revealed by George R.R. Martin (VIDEO)
George R.R. Martin presented a "Game of Thrones" parody animation of the HBO series, "Lil Thrones" on "Conan" Friday. The author George R.R. Martin was on the TBS late night talk show and showed the Saturday morning cartoon-style comedy.
Martin and host Conan O'Brien promoted the premiere of season five of the show with an NSFW animation presented in a Saturday morning cartoon-like parody of HBO's award winning fantasy miniseries, which in turn is based on Martin's epic fantasy series beginning with "A Song of Ice and Fire."
The TBS-produced video, which went viral after being posted over the weekend, showed "Game of Thrones" animated characters, complete with murders, nudity, and talk of incest and sex, with Martin himself introducing the faux "brand new cartoon series for kids."
The "Conan" web exclusive summarizes the storyline of the last four seasons of the show with catchy kids' theme music playing in the background of the lively animation:
"Lil Thrones, Lil Thrones, we're having so much fun. Lil Thrones, Lil Thrones … by killing everyone!"
Most of the show's major characters make their appearance singing joyfully about the HBO show's violent content, acting out King Joffrey's poisoning, Ned Stark's beheading – with Stark's head on a spike continuing to sing, the Red Wedding, musical mention of Cersei and Jaime's Lannister's incest, Daenerys Targaryen's face singed off by a dragon, missing appendages that Theon Grayjoy and the Unsullied have in common, an animated singing Tyrion Lannister, and a cameo by Hodor with a one-word repetitive song.
The not-so-kid friendly animated "GoT" version condensed all the numerous characters, plots and subplots into a 30-minute cartoon serving to make the show clearer for non-followers.
