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

9. Taking Away Tyrion's Stool €“ 'Second Sons'

As the Hound told Tyrion after the last point's slapping, Joffrey'll remember that. But at the time, Tyrion was making a play for the audience's hearts, so gave a cocksure response about reminding the little blond-haired git if he ever forgot. Wind forward two seasons, and the Halfman's lost that spring in his step. He's been graphically scarred and browbeaten by his father to the point where any of that old swagger is long gone. To make matters worse, he's being press-ganged by Tywin into marrying Sansa Stark, the apparent key to the North and daughter of the man Joffrey's beheaded (more on that later). And the cherry on this terrible sundae? Despite the non-presence of the Hound (graphically announced with f-bombs, in true Hound style), Joffrey didn't forget. To that end, he trolls Tyrion's wedding in front of the capital's great and good by taking away the stool he needs to cloak his wife for the ceremony. Cue titters, and the sound of audience axes being ground against that crown-wearing turd.
