Dragons aren’t the only ones doling out burns in Westeros! Here’s a list of some of the most memorable put-downs from the mind of George RR Martin.
Tyrion on Jaime – Season 1
“We have our differences, Jaime and I. He is braver; I am better looking.”
Tyrion vs. Cersei – Season 2
Cersei: “You know that you’re not half as clever as you think.” Tyrion: “That still makes me twice as clever as you.”
The Hound – Season 2
“F–k the Kingsguard; f–k the city; f–k the King!” Well put!
Bronn – Season 2
“There’s no cure for being a c–t.” Bronn speaks the truth.
Renly – Season 2
(On Stannis) “Born amidst salt and smoke…Is he a ham?”
Jaime – Season 2
(To Brienne) “Has anyone ever told you you’re as boring as you are ugly?”
Ser Rodrik – Season 2
“You have less honor than a back alley whore.”
Tyrion – Season 2
“I’m not questioning your honor…I’m denying its existence.”
Brynden Tully – Season 3
“I’ve seen wet s–ts I liked better than Walder Frey.” Grossest burn ever!
Tyrion vs. Cersei – Season 3
“Grand Maester Pycelle made the same joke. You must be proud to be as funny as a man whose balls brush his knees.”
Tywin – Season 3
“Any man who must say, ‘I am the king,’ is no true king.”
The Hound vs. Arya – Season 4
Arya: “Lots of people name their swords” The Hound: “Lots of c–ts.”
Ygritte – Multiple Seasons
“You know nothing, Jon Snow.” Sometimes the simplest burns are the best.
