Game Of Thrones: Joffrey's 10 Most Slappable Acts Of Dickery

By Edward Owen /

10. Showing No Sympathy To Bran €“ 'The Kingsroad'

In the world of Joffrey's black belt bastardry, this might seem like thin gruel by comparison. Maybe that's the case, but every douche has to start somewhere, and it might as well be by showing indifference to a crippled child before throwing in some misogyny for good measure. Let's not forget that at this point, non-book readers weren't aware just how deep Joffrey's insanity rabbit hole went. Indeed, aside from looking overly smug when he rode into Winterfell, he'd been pretty charming to Sansa in 'Winter Is Coming.' But then we saw the man €“ or in this case, entitled, loathsome boy €“ behind the curtain. Sidetracked from mocking his hungover uncle for sleeping in a pigpen, the Prince is told he needs to offer the Catelyn Stark his sympathies for her comatose son. But rather than doing what's expected of him, he chooses to say the boy meant nothing to him, and €“ in what will be the first of many callous things to come from his mouth €“ mocks a distraught mother, instantly nailing down a place on the audience's douche-to-watch list. Needless to say, Tyrion leaps in as the audience surrogate and slaps the everloving filth out of him. Twice. You can see it above, multiple times over. Go on, watch it €“ it's the most satisfying thing you'll do all day without taking your trousers off.
