Starfell Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It's not so much a moment as a general conecpt, but the idea of LF actually takling up his duties as Lord Paramount amuses me greatly. Littlefinger having to hold feasts, go on hunts, command lords, raise his banners and lead me to war; I love imagining how uncomfortable life in the limelight would make him, unable to skulk off after a clever manipulation or retreat to the top of a mountain where he can be all inscrutable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rider Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You really have to love Martin's ability to inject humor into his story. Humor is important especially with such a heavy story with so many horrible things happening. A lot of authors though can't do it either because they're just not funny or they over-do it to the point where it ruins the story.My favorite funny characters who aren't trying to be funny would have to be Victarion and Stannis. I don't know why, but every time I think of Victarion I think of Al Swearengen from "Deadwood." Would be AWESOME if they could get Ian McShane to play him in Season 4. Stannis just has dry humor down to an art, which I think is not something Martin himself probably has (a dry sense of humor), which really makes Martin that much more brillant that he pulls that off so well with that character.

But c'mon he's 5'9 and will be 71 if they introduce Victarion next season.Besides Ray Stevenson will play Victarion. It is known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Africanus Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 For me, I dunno why, but that Mormont's Raven (warged by Brynden Rivers) was clamouring for corn when the rest of the rangers were clamouring for food at Craster's pad seems funny to me. I can just imagine the whole scene. Too bad it got Old Bear killed.Also I can just imagine the look on Stan's face when he read Lyanna Mormont's note, and Jon holding back his laughter, as they both realized high and mighty Stan just got snubbed by a snot nosed kid.

Trinket2 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I love this thread, there are so many great moments in these books. Stannis, Victarion, Cersei and Jaime are all hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mountain That Posts Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You really have to love Martin's ability to inject humor into his story. Humor is important especially with such a heavy story with so many horrible things happening. A lot of authors though can't do it either because they're just not funny or they over-do it to the point where it ruins the story.Do you think humor, even if it's subtle and/or seldom, is mandatory for a great story? Just curious.Because there are some stories, like Naoki Urasawa's "Monster" which I think is just GENIUS, but I can only really think of one or two characters in the entire series who are particularly "funny". Just curious what you think. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManceSnow Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Randyll Tarly talking to Brienne, especially 'a good hard raping'. That was so bizarre.And as other people have said, Tyrion laughing as Tywin suggests husbands for Cersei.Most of Cersei's stupid actions in AFFC were pretty funny aswell. Like thinking Kevan was in league with the Tyrells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbentFury Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Whenever Aeron or Victarion griped about Euron winning the kingsmoot.Especially bitter ass Aeron suddenly deciding that the flawless kingsmoot that would ensure Euron would have no power, is now totally full of flaws and Euron obviously cheated. LOl forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviathan I Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The funniest part of the books is Stannis thinking he has a shot at being king.(Sorry. I had to.)It's not a question of 'having a shot at being king'. He is by right Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm and he must take his throne in order to save the kingdom or die trying. Stannis will fight to the bitter end and then some. And whatever end he does meet it will certainly not be worth mockery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tookie Clothespin Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 the scene with one of the Kettlebacks and Cersei about to get it on was pretty hilarious. i felt like Martin dipped into the realm of soft porn romance novels with cheesy titles like "Hot Nights in the Red Keep" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Baelish Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 When Jofferey tells Tywin that his 'father' won the rebellion whilst Tywin hid under the rock. I could imagine the dramatic "ooooooh" echoing out through the room at that low blow.I laughed harder at Tywin responding with "Thank you for that wisdom, your grace." I'm really hoping they include that scene in the TV show.I've mentioned this before, but Lysa's death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
