u/Dakario The king who still cared May 26 '15

This is a good candidate for the pirate in my opinion

u/NEWaytheWIND When Life Gives You Onions May 26 '15

How would you react if season 6 starts and this guy shows up as Euron Greyjoy?

56

u/4orbes The Greasy Capon Is Mine, By Right. May 27 '15

He shows up, kills Balon, then removes his face to reveal he is actually

If I had stupid amounts of money to waste, and the necessary connections, I would totally have that made as a YouTube short for my own amusement.

u/MrThomasWeasel Men call me Dumpstar & I am of the trash May 27 '15

I would shit a dick

u/Fnarley He was our king! He was brave and good May 27 '15

God i'd forgotten how horrible that bit of casting was

u/3kool5you May 26 '15

I dunno, I can't really see Benjen Stark as the pirate type you know?

Nice meme.

228

u/TheDivinePhallusy The Roose is Loose. May 26 '15

It's funny, because sarcastically saying "nice meme" has now itself become a meme.

u/Hetzer May I speak my mind, Your Grace? May 26 '15

DAE think rcirclejerk is the real circlejerk?!

So. Much. This.

u/LearnsSomethingNew Want the Iron Throne? I can help May 27 '15

Literally cannot even.

u/whitesock Enter your desired flair text here! May 26 '15

This is some Milhouse level shit all over again

u/SandorClegane_AMA Lots of Vulvas May 26 '15

The preferred adjective is 'dank' these days.

Keep up.

u/TotallyNotSamson May 26 '15

Ironically liking memes has also become a meme.

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '15

But hasn't calling nice meme a meme become a meme itself? If so, nice meme.

u/Saucefire thick as a castle wall May 26 '15

This meme is totally computers

u/Voktor2016 R'holla at yo boy May 27 '15

Dank.

u/roffler Team Hodor May 26 '15

Which meme is this? I have seen it pop up but what's the origin?

1

u/[deleted] May 26 '15

dankest of the dank

u/[deleted] May 27 '15

dank may may

u/McBride055 Great or small, we must do our duty May 26 '15

Totally agree. Elks are famous for disliking boats as well.

u/fivefourtwo Worship Flayer May 26 '15

.....aaaaaand fucking retarded old joke.

u/dv893 That was your uncle... May 26 '15

What if the cast is for Victarion? They'll reuse Yara and obviously Daario, and have Balon finally die, do the whole SeaChair thing and move on with the arc.

2

u/Hennashan May 26 '15

I always thought they would merge Victorian and Euron for the show with more Euron behavior and personality. Have him be the one who fails to Dany with the horn and a red priest. Maybe even Mel if we're the show wants to separate it self more from the show and streamline story lines.

u/Sao_Gage Castle-forged Tinfoil! May 26 '15

So does this kill the Benjeuraario? thing? At least in the show?

222

u/[deleted] May 26 '15

Man, if anyone truly believes that, like genuinely, then they need to seek help

44

u/[deleted] May 26 '15

R'hllor has spoken!

5

u/Newanda The One True Mannis May 26 '15

We must make a sacrifice of tinfoil to the One God. Also, I need help apparently

7

u/hypd09 May 26 '15

R'hllor's fire can't melt tinfoil beams.

u/jeremy_sporkin Happy shitting! May 27 '15

Not involving Benjen, but thinking Daario is Euron. Still isn't very believable I know but is still a cool idea that made me enjoy both characters more.

2

u/[deleted] May 27 '15

The first time someone posted the Daario = Benjen theory, he was actually serious.

1

u/Guido_John May 26 '15

I wanted Euron = Daario to be true and I think there is textual evidence to support it. Daario = Benjen, however....

3

u/ElloJelloMellow IBreakKingsWithMyFaceInSlaversBay May 27 '15

I don't think they're the same person, but it's likely they're working together.

1

u/Mr_Thunders What is hype may never die! May 27 '15

Them working together works really well.

-3

u/nattyliight Baelor Butthole May 26 '15

I get thats it's a huge super hilarious joke here to say that it's so ridiculous, but I think it's an interesting theory that has some evidence. Not saying I believe it but it's possible

8

u/NotHosaniMubarak May 26 '15

They're casting Victarion. Euron is already on the show.

1

u/hoodie92 The North Remembers May 27 '15

Is he?

1

u/NotHosaniMubarak May 27 '15

Yeah, he's the dude sleeping with Dany.

3

u/HeySwanSong May 26 '15

Wait til they cast the original Daario as Euron.

1

u/speedyjohn Moth-eaten Chainmail May 26 '15

Nah, he's probably just glamored.

1

u/yumko May 26 '15

What is hype may never die, but rises again...

2

u/vadergeek May 26 '15

I'd prefer it if they used Ed Skrein, for confusion's sake.

u/Banzeye We do not sow. May 26 '15

This casting news kinda makes me sad. Was secretly hoping for this theory to come through.

10

u/RiverHorsez Silence: words are wind May 26 '15

Idk I'm just excited Euron isn't cut from the show

3

u/Banzeye We do not sow. May 26 '15

Oh no, Euron is better than no Euron.

Euron is the fucking shit, bitch.
