A Highborn Maid Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Is it wrong if I say renly has the biggest stick up his ass? Renly reminds me of people I went to school with. Kind of smug and bitch about people behind their back, and entitled to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Member Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Is it wrong if I say renly has the biggest stick up his ass? We're only including people who don't enjoy having sticks up their butts(hence why they're so grumpy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod The Impaler Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Oh, Stannis definitely has a bigger stick up his butt. Jon is actually quite a flexible thinker, even if he is morose half the time (that would be those R genes I suspect). Stannis is often hilarious, but as the straight-man. As many say, I'm not sure he's trying to be funny; more likely he just so deadpan serious he comes off that way. (If this was the film Dragnet, he'd be Joe Friday.)

Pod The Impaler Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Anyway, Stannis is the life of the party compared to Selyse.A man like that, and yet next to him is a women so priggish you feel sorry for him having married her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Of Thrones Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 But the Lannisters and Renly are funnier than Stannis, I'll give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelborn Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Jon doesn't have a dry humour like some people said. Even those examples mentioned here are not... dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Stannis is often hilarious, but as the straight-man. As many say, I'm not sure he's trying to be funny; more likely he just so deadpan serious he comes off that way. (If this was the film Dragnet, he'd be Joe Friday.) Exactly. He's a perfect deadpan snarker rather than funny, tbh. A character given to gnomic, sarcastic, sometimes bitter, occasionally whimsical asides. They can vary wildly from rare, funny one-liners to complete obnoxiousness. The Deadpan Snarker exists to deflate pomposity, point out the unlikelihood of certain plans, and deliver funny lines. Typically the most cynical supporting character. In most cases, it is implied that the snarker would make a good leader, strategist, or consultant given their ability to instantly see the flaws in a constructed plan. More often than not, their innate snarkiness is the only thing preventing the other characters from comprehending this for themselves. In other cases, the Deadpan Snarker resorts to sarcasm because they're the Only Sane Man. Tends to be shot a Death Glare when they go too far (and probably isn't without one of their own, either). Note that due to the definition evolving, the "Deadpan" part of the title has gradually become The Artifact and a deadpan delivery is no longer a necessary part of the trope.

David Selig Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 This thread is insulting to Stannis. The guy is hilarious. Jon Snow's "humor" is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
