Game Of Thrones: 25 Easter Eggs, In-Jokes And References You Need To See

15. You Know Nothing

Game of Thrones isn€™t necessarily the most quotable of shows, but a few key lines have managed to transcend the show and take on a life of their own. The Stark words, €˜Winter Is Coming€™ is one great example, as is the Braavosi saying €˜Valar Morghulis€™. One of the most popular is Ygritte€™s oft-repeated saying: €œYou know nothing, Jon Snow.€ After the red-headed wildling€™s tragic death, it seemed that we€™d never get to hear those words on the show again. Then, in season 5, another red-head, a Red Priestess, brought them back to life, as Melisandre did what so many fans have done and quoted Ygritte. It seems as though it€™s an attempt to make Jon feel bad, after he refuses her advances, although quite how the witch knows the famous words is another matter. Maybe it€™s just pretty clear by the expression on his face that the boy knows nothing.
