Dinklage Previews SNL, while the Rest of The Cast Plays “Swords or Metal Band”

With the major promotional push for Game of Thrones Season 6 officially in full swing, , the marketing department decided the rest of us needed a humor break. To that end, when SNL posted their weekly promo yesterday for the coming weekend, the GoT official YouTube account countered with a humor video of their own, featuring the rest of the cast.

First though, let’s check out the Saturday Night Live promos (helpfully all rolled into a single video below), and see if the writers are letting Dinklage (and Cecily Strong) show promise for this week’s episode.

For those who might not usually follow late night TV, the last episode SNL aired (back on March 12th) with Ariana Grande was considered to be the best episode they’d done in quite a while. Let’s hope Dinklage (and Gwen Stefani) can keep that trend going. even if Summer doesn’t have nearly the menace of Winter.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t entered the competition to join the cast of Game of Thrones at the Season 6 premiere, what are you waiting for? You’ll get to donate to a good cause helping the Syrian refugees. And if you do win, you can hang out with the actors and get to be doofuses together in real life and play “Sword Name or Metal Band.” As the blurb for the video says: “Heart Eater. Crimson Death. Dark Sister. Which are Game of Thrones swords and which are 80’s metal bands?” (What, did no metal bands start in the 90s?)

Lena Headey (mostly) knowing her metal bands does not shock me in the slightest. (Also Sophie Turner remembering Joffrey’s sword name is not surprising either. Forgetting Ned’s sword on the other hand… well, it has been a rather long time since Season 1, hasn’t it?)
