00:05If you like someone on this show, it's best not to get too attached.
00:11Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we'll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Game of Thrones character
00:16deaths.
00:21It should be painfully obvious, but spoiler alert!
00:24For this list, we're looking at Game of Thrones deaths that have found their way onto the small screens only.
00:30Therefore, deaths from the books, or ones we did not see, like the devastating End of the Hound, do not
00:34qualify.
00:35Kill me!
00:41Kill me!
00:43Please also be advised that this video contains mature and graphic content.
00:54Number 10, Lysa Arryn.
00:57You wanted to see me on Lysa?
00:58The unstable sister of Stark matriarch, Katelyn Stark, Lysa's life and death was a study in absurdity and poor self
01:05-esteem.
01:06I'm so sorry Aunt Lysa. I never should have hit Robin, I know it. I promise it won't happen.
01:10Be coy with me, you little whore!
01:12You kissed him! You kissed Peter!
01:15Whether it was breastfeeding her son at an age far older than usual, or her incredible jealousy of the relationship
01:20of her husband with her niece, she is a woman of extremes.
01:24Look down! Look down! Look down! Look down! Look down!
01:28Lysa!
01:28Sure, she had good reason to suspect that her husband's loyalties may not have been with her, as evidenced by
01:34the fact that he seemed to relish pushing her to her death through the moon door, but she never should
01:38have come between Littlefinger and his goals.
01:50The character that was going to give us the answers to the puzzle that is Bran's warg abilities, Jojen may
01:56not have quite fulfilled that early promise, but he certainly helped Bran begin the journey to his fate.
02:01We've come a long way to find you, Brandon, and we have much farther to go.
02:06The boy's loyalty to his role as the shepherd of his ally is what ultimately led to his death, though,
02:11as Jojen's only concern was aiding Bran.
02:14Bran!
02:19Save yourself! Now!
02:21Stabbed multiple times by a wight, Jojen is then mercy-killed by his sister,
02:25and his corpse is destroyed, so he does not become a wight himself.
02:29Rough.
02:31Number 8, Ygritte.
02:33Ygritte.
02:33You swore some vows.
02:36I want you to break them.
02:38A fierce warrior who was as quick with a retort as she was with a bow,
02:42Ygritte was a deadly force who shouldn't have been underestimated.
02:48Her only weakness was her love for Jojen, and that made her unable to kill him with an arrow.
02:52Not once, but twice.
02:54You know nothing, Jojen Snowball.
02:57Unfortunately, the second time, she was too focused on Jojen
02:59and didn't see the child archer that would ultimately prove her undoing.
03:15A former prostitute who won the heart of Tyrion Lannister, her fate was sealed the moment that his father discovered
03:21their relationship,
03:21despite the fact that Tyrion marries Sansa.
03:26When Tywin threatens her life, Tyrion has no choice but to send her away.
03:30You'll have a comfortable life in Pentos.
03:35Bronn will escort you to your ship.
03:37Since he can't bear the thought of her death, he lies and tells her he doesn't care about her, so
03:42she leaves.
03:43I can't be in love with a whore.
03:45We can't exactly be sure of what back alley dealings went on,
03:48but it's not surprising that her return to testify against her former lover,
03:52as well as the fact that Tyrion finds Shae in his father's bed, ultimately led to her suffocation.
04:12A real prick with delusions of grandeur,
04:15Viserys gave his sister's hand in marriage to a man who should never be trifled with,
04:19Khal Drogo.
04:20I would let his whole tribe f*** you.
04:24All 40,000 men and their horses too, if that's what it took.
04:28However, Viserys soon began to feel like he was on the outside looking in,
04:32and made a very rash decision.
04:34I want what I came for.
04:37I want the crown he promised me.
04:39By threatening to kill Daenerys, who Drogo had grown to truly love,
04:42Viserys finally got the crown he so desired when molten gold was poured all over his head
04:47and he was killed in agony.
04:49A crown for a king.
05:005. Joffrey Baratheon
05:02Kneel!
05:03Arguably one of the most hated teens in all of television,
05:06Joffrey was a horrible brat whose every whim was granted due to the seemingly royal blood in his veins.
05:11Time has come for all of us to contemplate our history.
05:16Taking great delight in something as simple as lording his authority over his subjects,
05:20or as horrific as showing his fiancee Sansa the decapitated head of her father.
05:24Joffrey's greatest skills were in torture and death.
05:27It's not meant as an honor.
05:29That is why audiences everywhere cheered in delight as the sniveling little jerk began to cough and then writhe in
05:35horrible pain,
05:36finally succumbing to poison.
05:49Go on, say something clever.
05:51It takes a man of incredible authority to send a king to his room.
05:54And the only man in Westeros who could pull off such a feat is the one-time Hand of the
05:58King and the insanely rich Tywin Lannister.
06:00Not next year, not tomorrow.
06:04No.
06:05Concerned first and foremost with the legacy of his family's name,
06:08we can only assume that he spent his dying moments reflecting on the fact that it was his own son,
06:13Tyrion, who killed him.
06:14Are you afraid of a dead whore?
06:18Maybe he should have been a little less concerned with perception if he wanted to live a little bit longer
06:22than he did.
06:22You're no son of mine.
06:25I am your son.
06:27I have always been your son.
06:37Number 3, Eddard Stark.
06:40I am Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Hand of the King.
06:46Perhaps the most just man in the entirety of the series,
06:48Ned's turn as the Hand of the King should have had a stabilizing effect on the Seven Kingdoms.
06:53That is, if Joffrey hadn't taken the throne.
06:57Bring me his head.
06:58Instead, Eddard finds himself arrested and thrown in a dungeon where he's forced to confess to crimes he did not
07:03commit.
07:04You think my life is some precious thing to me.
07:08That I would trade my honor for a few more years of woe.
07:13Despite giving in to these ridiculous demands, he is beheaded in front of two of his daughters anyway.
07:18And from then on, every viewer instantly knew that no character on the show was safe.
07:26Number 2, Oberyn Martell.
07:28You learned this during your years in the fighting pits.
07:30He may not have lasted an entire season, but the appealing way he was utterly annihilated earned him the runner
07:36-up position on this list.
07:37I am the brother of Elia Martell.
07:41And do you know why I've come all the way to this stinking shit pile of a city?
07:46For you?
07:47A renowned and feared fighter who we never got to see in true glory, Prince Oberyn spends his final days
07:52in search of vengeance for his dead sister and her children.
07:55Say it.
07:56You raped her!
07:58You murdered her!
08:00You murdered her!
08:04You killed her children.
08:06Given the opportunity to battle the mountain, the man actually responsible for the death of his family members, Oberyn's grandstanding
08:12resulted in his wounding Gregor Clegane.
08:14But his foe ultimately and literally squeezed the House Martell's members' head until it popped.
08:20Elia Martell!
08:22I killed her children!
08:24Then I raped her!
08:27Then I smashed her head!
08:29In like this!
08:33Before we reveal our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
08:57No!
08:58Stop it!
08:59No!
09:00No!
09:01No!
09:03No!
09:05No!
09:11No!
09:12No!
09:12Caitlyn, Rob, & Theresa Stark!
09:16Ahhhhhh!
09:17OK.
09:18So this isn't just one character.
09:19We can't even imagine any argument that will make sense for any other deaths to top this list.
09:25Oh!
09:26Ah!
09:27Ah!
09:27Ah!
09:36Alanis just send their regards.
09:39The fact that they went so far as to show the stabbing of an unborn fetus,
09:43a gruesomely slit woman's throat,
09:45and the killing of the direwolves was icing on the cake.
09:53Do you agree with our list?
09:55Gods have made their will known.
09:56Which Game of Thrones character's death is the most memorable to you?
