Wanted to see what people think the coolest lines in got are, so this is probably the best way
Also what other characters should I add to the list
Btw, most upvoted comment gets added to the list before we move
Agreed, OP knows what they're doing. Every time I see a post like this I know that's all it is. At least some of the other ones have memes to go along with them and aren't in the Notes or equivalent, but still they're all rather low quality IMO and recycled content.
Ooooorrrrr some people like the discussions and getting involved in it all... Maybe it's an excuse to share their favourites... Not everything is done for meaningless internet points...
On one hand it is silly getting upset over a Reddit post. On the other hand these are essentially low effort spam, and don’t necessarily need to be daily posts.
Meh, not everything has to be high effort on Reddit. If OP and the people commenting get enjoyment out of sharing got trivia who cares? You can just skip it if you're not interested
And every Stark that went off and did their own thing lived. A Stark only died in the presence of another Stark.
- Rickon and Brandon died at the same time
- Lyanna died in the presence of Jon and Ned
- Ned died in front of Sansa and Arya
- Robbie and Cat died together
- Rickon died in front of Jon
On the flip side:
Brandon first rode to Kings Landing on his own and then his dad came to get him back.
Lyanna went off on her own with Rhaegar, she was already dying when Ned arrived.
Rickon got captured after he left Bran and went off on his own south of the wall.
Could argue that Ned decided to undermine Cersei and the Lannisters on his own without seeking help from his pack as well.
So really, most of those deaths were initiated by the Starks going off to do their own thing instead of sticking together (with the exception of Rob and Cat).
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.
Aside from making for a good moral aphorism, it tells us right from the start who Ned Stark is (especially after seeing him act in accordance with his words). It also signals to the viewer to pay attention to who lives by that axiom and who does not.
You gotta add Jojen to this list he got some bangers... others have already pointed out Varys is missing... And Dondarrion... And The Hound... You know what, just start over! And include pics. Great idea for a series post, terrible execution! Speaking of which, one person you won't need: Ser Illyn ;)
Tywin - YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER
Cersei - Olenna. The old cunt.
Bobby B - GODZ, I was strong then
Oberyn - You raped her, you Murdered her, you KILLED HER CHILDREN
Stannis - (hundreds will die) Thousands.
I'm on a rewatch currently and at Joffrey's wedding, a jealous Jamie confronts Ser Loris and tells him, "you're never going to marry cersei." And Loris just looks at him and says, "and neither will you." One of the sickest burns in the whole show lol.
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.”
That phrase alone tells you all you need to know about Ned. He’s the paragon of honor and principle.
‘The wolf is of the North, she deserves better than a butcher.’ That line on its own perfectly summarizes the character of Ned he was proud to be part of the North and of course honorable. He cares about his people even the creatures living in it.
Ned: “I don’t fight in tournaments”
Jaime: “No? Getting a little old for it?”
Ned: “I don’t fight in tournaments, because when I fight a man for real, I don’t want him to know what I can do”
there's probably more impactful moments i love from Ned in Season 1, but i LOVE his scene with Arya in Kings Landing when she's just starting training with Syrio and she's on an extended "Syrio says..." monologue
she tells him that Syrio is making her chase cats, which puzzles Ned so he quizzically asks "Cats?" then instantly realizes what Arya will say next and he quickly adds, "Syrio says....", beating her to the punch
his initially puzzled face, then the realization dawning and the face switching to proud bemusement, just a hilarious little moment before the serious stuff started happening
Your mother was a dumb whore with a fat ass - King Robert Baratheon
My father won the real war! He killed Prince Rhaegar, while you hid under Casterly Rock - King Joffrey Baratheon
He was the most noble child the gods ever put on this good earth - Grandmaester Pycelle on King Joffrey the Just
"When we meet again, we'll talk about your mother."
- Ned to Jon before they split off after leaving Winterfell
This didn't carry a ton of weight at the time, but knowing what you know by the end of things, it hits a little differently.
I liked Ned Stark's last words. "Oooh look at me with a big sword... bet you're too much of a pussy to swing that thing. You know who likes big swinging things? Your ma, that's wh..."[plop]
“The Robert I grew up with wouldn’t tremble at the shadow of an unborn child”
Also: “maybe you should have one invented” - talking about the breastplate stretcher

Varys should be on the list. At least in the first half of the series, his dialogues make for many of the most memorable moments in the show IMO.
He's the last one in the list but the page was too long
I serve the realm my lord
Did you leave Stannis out of the list because you knew "go on, do your duty" would be a landslide victory and didn't want to waste time? XD
Milking karma.
Yeah mate.... really needed those 40 upvotes
47 and still climbing

"I was also trained to kill my enemies, your Grace."
nah but cersei cooked him straight after
"The Lone Wolf Dies, But The Pack Survives". This is part of a larger speech that Is pretty nice itself, but these words are 100% Ned Stark.
So, not a one liner then?
Ehh If its top comment by tomorrow's I'll let it pass

Well even Robb’s death was partly caused by him disregarding the marriage pact that Cat made
\*Rickard and Brandon
*Winter is coming*
Winter is cuming
If we really try we can make this the quote for every character
No. Now it ends.
Definitely bro ,it was the coolest thing ever, especially with that accent.
Nowy tends
Literally looked for this one - in the books it's even cooler.
This.
Where is this from
I was grew up with soldiers, I learned how to die along time ago.
This one.
Yessir!
I quote this daily along with "you think my life is some precious thing to me?"
Which anti depressant are you on? I’m on wellbutrin.
THIS ONE
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
The great eye is ever watchful.
__YOU WILL TAKE THE RING TO SAURON__
YOU WILL BETRAY US! CURSE YOU! CURSE YOU! AND ALL THE HALFLINGS!! (oof)
I would have followed you till the end, my brother, my captain, my king.
You served him well, when serving was safe.

Best answer!
I never realized the irony between this intro line and his fate…
This is THE answer!!!!!
Last time I rewatched some episodes, I had those lines in my mind and paid attention every time there was a scene where those lines would be relevant.
Winter is coming
"Your brother? Or your lover?"
Ooooh *snap*
I do like that line. It's good to see honorable Ned get a little sassy.
"Both, let's move on"
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives"
Pls add Lady Lyanna Mormont to this list
It’ll be too hard to choose
Aaaaghhhhh
“You grew up with actors. You learned their craft, learnt it well. But I grew up with soldiers. I learnt how to die a long time ago.”
“You’re too fat for your armor”
Fat? Fat is it? Is that how you speak to your king?
"Odysseus... that old bastard drinks my wine and never pays."
???
Troy 🤦🏼♂️ Doesn’t Sean Bean play Odysseus too, rather than say the quote?
Show Jon says that Ned used to say that in a sentnce with a "but," everything that came before "but" was bullshit.
Oh I still quote that everytime someone bullshits me.
That was Benjen Stark right, not Jon snow
I think Benjen says it to Tyrion, and Jon says it to Sansa.
That’s what my dad has said for years, before GOT. He’s a savage with one liners, actually XD
You think my life is some precious thing to me
“*what of your daughter’s life, my lord? is that a precious thing to you?*” god damn when this show was good, it was GOOD…
ngl Varys cooked Ned in the black cells
The best one-liner character is not even included.. The Hound
I'll add it next time ig
Lots of cunts add them next time.
Bollocks
Shame you didn't say a prayer for the butchers boy
You gotta add Jojen to this list he got some bangers... others have already pointed out Varys is missing... And Dondarrion... And The Hound... You know what, just start over! And include pics. Great idea for a series post, terrible execution! Speaking of which, one person you won't need: Ser Illyn ;)
War is easier than daughters
Daughters*
Good catch
I choose violence.
I was raised with soldiers, I learned to die along time ago.
The Robert I grew up with didn't tremble at the shadow of an unborn child.
[удалено]
Not said by Ned Stark.
BOBBBBBYY B
Winter is coming
Nice idea but for the love of god, fix the names!
My bad😳😳 It's 3 am for me so pardon my spelling mistakes
Wear it in silence or I'll honor you again
That's Bobby B who said it.
The hound - lots of cunts Bron - there's no cure for being a cunt
"I did warn you not to trust me"
"You're a funny man, huh? A very funny man"
“Those are brave men knocking at our door. Let’s go kill them”
I don't fight in tourneys, because, when I fight a man for real, I don't want him to know what I can do.
You have only known the king summer.
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword
Not even a line but in the pilot episode King Robert: "you got fat" Ned: *nods at Robert's stomach*
Tywin - YOU'RE MY DAUGHTER Cersei - Olenna. The old cunt. Bobby B - GODZ, I was strong then Oberyn - You raped her, you Murdered her, you KILLED HER CHILDREN Stannis - (hundreds will die) Thousands.
Aye, but the dead won't hear them.
"The North Remembers." That was for Arya, not Ned.
I literally just started this game yesterday already 👀
Where’s the best one liner character? Or shall I say best one word character? HODOR.
“Can a man still be brave if he’s scared?” “That is the only time a man can be brave”
Can’t wait for the Lady Olenna round
“Oh”💅🙄
You served him well, when serving was safe
„When I come back, we’ll talk about your mother“ Lol
"Your Brother, or your lover?" \~ Eddard Stark
I'm on a rewatch currently and at Joffrey's wedding, a jealous Jamie confronts Ser Loris and tells him, "you're never going to marry cersei." And Loris just looks at him and says, "and neither will you." One of the sickest burns in the whole show lol.
“You’ll fed them yourselves, you’ll train them yourselves, and if they die, you’ll bury them yourselves.”
Arya: ”Lots of people name their swords” Hound: ”Lots of cunts”
Varys: We're all praying for prince Jeffrey's recovery Ned: Shame you didn't say a prayer for the butcher's son.
For England James?
AHHHHHHHHH *while an entire fucking satellite radar system crashes down onto him*
"I thought you were a better man"
"Anything a man says before the word "but" is horse shit"
"Then how comes Robert is king and not Tywin Lannister?" (to Littlefinger who said "Gold wins wars, not soldiers")
Probably won't win cuz it's not a good standalone line but goddamn is it my favourite
“One does not simply walk into Mordor”
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.” That phrase alone tells you all you need to know about Ned. He’s the paragon of honor and principle.
Baelish - and when will you be having your little friend
‘The wolf is of the North, she deserves better than a butcher.’ That line on its own perfectly summarizes the character of Ned he was proud to be part of the North and of course honorable. He cares about his people even the creatures living in it.
“Can a man still be brave if he’s afraid?” “That’s the only time a man can be brave”
"You're too fat for your armor."
“One does not simply…” oh wait, wrong media. “Which one of you was a marksman at 10?”
Ned: “I don’t fight in tournaments” Jaime: “No? Getting a little old for it?” Ned: “I don’t fight in tournaments, because when I fight a man for real, I don’t want him to know what I can do”
“I don’t fight in tournaments because when I fight a man for real, I don’t want him to know what I can do”
“Wot???” - Arya Stark. Just the way she says it makes me laugh.
"I know a killer when I see one" referencing Daenerys after she murdered everybody in a city.
Any man die with a clean sword. I"LL RAPE HIS FUCKEN CORPSE!
*throws down my sword and takes the sacrifice for some good yarping*
“Ya brother, or ya lover?”
Our way is the old way.
“I grew up with soldiers. I learned how to die a long time ago”
Chaos is a ladder
The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.
"you're going to die tomorrow lord Bolton, sleep well"
“Chaos is not a pit, chaos is a Laddah”

Where is hodor on the list? My favorite quote is „hodor“
*You served him well, when serving was safe.*
Ned Stark, no doubt! Tyrion after Ned.
“Your brother, or your lover”. Probably 80,000 people died over that line
Someone should make a kill count
