Watchers on the Wall Awards Season 7: Funniest Scene – Preliminary Round

WotW season7-awards

For all its emotional, heartbreaking and gruesome moments, Game of Thrones can be as funny as any comedy on television. That’s why today we’re celebrating the funniest moments of season 7, as chosen by you, the readers! We’ve gathered up dozens of nominees from your suggestions, and it’s time to narrow down the lengthy list to just five. Which five scenes made you laugh the most? It’s time to vote!

The standard rules: Select up to FIVE nominees from the poll. You can choose fewer if you like, but you cannot choose more than 5. (Visit the initial WotW Awards post for a complete explanation of the rules and process.)

At the end of 72 hours (Sunday 11/05/17 at 1PM Eastern Time), whichever five scenes have the most votes will continue on to the finals. The results of the poll will be revealed when it’s time to choose the winner of Funniest Scene in a few weeks.

Thanks to Greatjon of Slumber for tallying up the initial nominee suggestions. Time to vote!

The Watchers on the Wall/Game of Thrones Halloween 2017 Parade/Party/Round-Up of Epic Proportions

Ladies and Gents of the Wall,

It is time once again for our annual round-up/party/parade of Game of Thrones related tricks and treats from Halloween 2017 (although, admittedly sometimes photos from years past do tend to sneak in).

This year features an abundance of riches including plenty of Dany, Jon and Dany, Jon and Tormund, Jon and various dead characters, a few pets, a few kids, a few fanatical parents, plenty of Night Kings, and some (un)realistic looking dragons.

Enter if you dare, for the night is dark and full of errors…

As always, we head off first to the Westerosi pumpkin patch.  No Halloween is complete without an array of pumpkins. Pick one and let’s get into costume.

Hound approved…

Wicked…

GoT Pets
Now that we’ve got the pumpkin, it’s time to get the pooches dressed to a level that will not alarm the local humane society.

#HoDog?

The bearded dragon…

Rhaegal…

Breaker of Leashes…

The infamous Pugs of Winterfell…

UM…. LOL. No.

The Kiddos
It is known that before tending to yourself, you must prepare the younglings if you are the proud owner of one (or more). And some of these costumes are just damn awesome.

A true Mother of Dragons…

The Big Kids

The only true way to open GoT Halloween is with Dany riding a dragon. This depiction is so close, I thought I was watching an episode…

Dany was apparently riding the dragon to work…

I was not aware that the Night King was hitched, but he married up for sure…

And he now has a smartphone as well…

And laser vision…

Impressive…

No comment…

From Varys to Olenna. Very diverse indeed.

Come to think of it, Jaime did not stick around to burn the body…

Yes, we are.

And then, there was Dany…

And then, Jon and Dany…

And then, Jon and randos…

As Jon ages, golf clubs will emerge from his crown…

And then, a Kardashian (apologies for Kardashian inclusion)

I’ve got news for you kid, it doesn’t get any better. We were put here to give birth to and humiliate you…

Frozen 2 Spoiler Alert…

The detail in Viserion here is exquisite…

A woman must update her list…

A woman is adaptable…

From the Watchers Contributors, our very own Joe Magician…

And check this out from Sam Wallace!

The dead are resurrected on Halloween…

There are always a few randoms that make you stop and spew coffee or make you go “whaaaa?”

All Hail, Jon of House Snowden…

Lucas, the resemblance is uncanny…

Finally, this year’s clear #GoTHalloween winner is… the Javelin King

The good news is that if you didn’t make the annual Unofficial GoT Halloween post this year, it looks like we will get another Halloween in before the show concludes. That’s also the bad news.

Hope all of you Ladies and Sers are doing well! A man will be back soon for an off-season Looking Forward. Follow a man on twitter, and may there always be peace in your realm.

-Oz

More cast members sighted in Belfast & Increased activity at new Season 8 set

A week into filming season eight, the Game of Thrones cast continues popping up in Belfast, where, incidentally, the mysterious new set being built on the parking lot of Titanic Studios has seen a spike in activity — they are going all in with this one.

Despite the many sightings around the city, it appears they are sticking pretty close to the new rule we’ve been hearing about lately: “No selfies allowed.” Nevertheless, according to reports, throughout the week a number of Game of Thrones stars have been in Belfast, namely Kit Harington, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, John Bradley, and Emilia Clarke

 

Paint Hall - Castle Set 6

We also lack photos of the set developments, but reports show production is ramping up at Linen Mill, where a number of sets are held (the ships; Riverrun, which turned into Casterly Rock; Volantis, formerly Harrenhal; and more), and at the massive set in construction next to Titanic Studios. Here it all is, courtesy of Irish Thrones:



Hopefully we’ll have more photos of the new set soon. Despite its public location, the crew may do a better job at hiding it once filming begins within, so there’s a relatively short window of opportunity in which the set will be done but filming won’t have started there yet, and so we may learn what this castle-sized set is supposed to depict at last.

Place your bets, folks.
