[–]SUBZEROWINS 37 points38 points ago

You know when you read a book or watch a show and you just hate the character so much you don't know what to do with yourself? You literally feel stressed because so much hate is building up? This compilation of Joffery getting smacked just relieved tension that's been building up for the past decade... (yes i know what that sounds like, and it is just as satisfying, if not more)

[–]Sandbox47 17 points18 points ago

That is Joffery? I know exactly the feeling you're talking about. God, he's a douche in the book.

[–]Sfinocc 23 points24 points ago

It's spelled Joffrey.

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 24 points25 points ago*

You forgot Nymeria biting the shit out of his arm. 'MERIA, FUCK YEAH.

Edit: sp

[–]InfintySquared 4 points5 points ago

I don't think I saw that scene. But Nymeria ravaging Joffrey, that was pretty badass!

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 6 points7 points ago

If they wanted me to be able to spell her name, they shouldn't have had her disappear for like five books in a row!

[–]Call_of_the_Void 2 points3 points ago

Oh man, you mean she comes back later? TELL ME THE TRUTH

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 4 points5 points ago

I would assume eventually, to save Arya from some horrible situation. I'm in AFFC, and still ain't seen shit from her though.

[–]RedPanther1 3 points4 points ago

Think about Aryas wolf dreams for a minute and then think about Brans. What wolf do you think she's dreaming?

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 0 points1 point ago

I'm aware she was Warging with 'Meria.

[–]Ali_Bro 1 point2 points ago

Just started AFFC today! Fucking amazing books.

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 2 points3 points ago

Just finishing AFFC. Slow as all fuck sometimes though, especially after ASOS.

[–]Ali_Bro 1 point2 points ago

All the books have felt like that at times, I remember assuming that the war and the kings' bids against each other would be finished at some point in the second book.

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 0 points1 point ago

No, I haven't felt that way in any of the books before AFFC. Nothing really happens much in AFFC; I'm almost at the end and can remember nothing that was especially memorable. ASOS was so damn good, and AFFC isn't bad at all, but it just isn't super exciting.

[–]Dissentcon 0 points1 point ago

There's mention throughout the books of a pack of vicious wolves who have "no fear of men", who are lead by a giant she-wolf...

[–]Call_of_the_Void 0 points1 point ago

Oh wow! How exciting. I need to get back into the books.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

Erm... Doesn't she (spoilers) come back in ASoS? When Arya dreams she is a wolf and she attacks her pursuers? It's not said explicitly that it's Nymeria, and her name is not written, but I think it's pretty clear that it's her.

[–]TastyFace 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, if the books imply a secret man-love between Loras and Renly, they pretty much teabag you in the face with "A mysteriously large wolf out in the riverlands has created an army of wolves and is fucking the Lannisters up."

[–]InfintySquared 2 points3 points ago

Fair enough, I'll allow it.

[–]soulblade64 7 points8 points ago

You forgot Cersei slapping him as well.

I feel like this actor is going to pull an Anthony Michael Hall and be back acting in 5 years only way hotter.

[–]zuluthrone 6 points7 points ago

not abuse, education.

[–]hennesce 3 points4 points ago

I could watch the scene where he gets hit in the face with poop over and over and over again

[–]Boobafett 0 points1 point ago

Which episode is this from? I've seen all up to date, but I can't recall that part... :-/

[–]PrincessSugarFairy 0 points1 point ago

Episode 6 of Season 2, I believe.

[–]Boobafett 0 points1 point ago

Ah! Thank you, apparently I missed last weeks! :)

[–]CRAFISHOFILLET 3 points4 points ago

Anyone else notice how he closes his eyes and anticipates the slap? Kept noticing it when it was played in slomo. idk why.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Because he's acting and knew it was coming probably, I don't think it's a documentary

[–]taibhse 2 points3 points ago

He could see the hand coming for his face...

[–]10007638 3 points4 points ago

What if it happened to Carl in the Walking Dead?

[–]hackiavelli 3 points4 points ago

Truth be told it should just about happen to everyone who isn't Daryl.

[–]10007638 1 point2 points ago

You know what's up.

[–]tidal_flood 1 point2 points ago

Daryl is the only guy I like of the damned show.

After watching it, I created a rule for the zombie apocalypse.

If you cause drama, you're out of the group.

[–]im_too_literal 3 points4 points ago

That's not abuse...that's discipline. And clearly he needs more of it.

[–]BrainSlurper 2 points3 points ago

Wait, this doesn't have his first role in a major movie, him getting slapped by the policeman in batman begins.

[–]NarutoRamen 2 points3 points ago

That's not abuse..that's just some good old fashion discipline. Kids now need some more of this.

[–]ElToroFuerte 1 point2 points ago

That's how I see it. He was out of line and he was being disciplined by his elder. And not just any elder, it's his uncle for crying out loud. Spanking and slapping I wouldn't consider child abuse if it's used to discipline the child. Doing it because he won't shut up and doing it often I might start to consider it.

Then again, I don't have kids. But I was spanked a lot as a child.

[–]NarutoRamen 1 point2 points ago

I'm glad someone besides me sees it that way. I was also disciplined this way. I don't consider this abuse for the same reason you pointed out. "Go to your room" isn't disciplining, IMO. My mom would smack the shit out of me and then sit my ass down and watch me do hw, and today I'm happy she did.

Also, I don't have kids. But I do have nieces and nephews and they don't listen to their parents, but if I'm around they're really well behaved, simply because I have smacked them (not hard) when they were out of line. I still shower them with hugs, kisses and gifts, so they know I only do it when they are bad.

[–]Havataru16 5 points6 points ago

You can clearly see him getting ready to get hit before it actually happens each time.

[–]nikolaristo 7 points8 points ago

It's not like the hand came out of nowhere. He clearly saw the hand progressing toward his face and squinted, regardless whether he knew it was coming.

[–]Lareit 3 points4 points ago

Pretty common reaction for people who are used to getting bitch slapped.

I can attest my little brothers would react before I hit them during my abusive big brother years.

[–]JinanReddit -3 points-2 points ago

Yes! That pisses me off, because he just isn't trying. You can train yourself not to anticipate it (or look like you anticipate it) so I have no idea why he anticipates it EVERY FUCKING TIME. Once or twice I could tolerate and accept. But not every time. Seriously, he's getting paid a lot of money to act, you think he would put a bit of hard work in.

[–]awesomechemist 5 points6 points ago

He is actually a fairly good actor, especially for his age...I wouldn't write him off completely just because he winces a split second before he gets slapped. I'm sure you would wince just before you got slapped too, regardless of whether or not you were anticipating it.

[–]bryman302 4 points5 points ago

Upvote any games of thrones

[–]Nathineil 1 point2 points ago

the actor must be like "man... i hate this job.."

[–]jherazob 0 points1 point ago

Well, he did say that when his work is done he'll leave acting for the academia. In philosophy and theology, no less...

[–]floppy115 1 point2 points ago

you forgot Cersei slapping him

[–]NorthboundFox 1 point2 points ago

Slap the fuck out of that insufferable little shithead!

EVERY DAY I'M HODORIN'

[–]nrgarcia92 3 points4 points ago

While I agree the actor Jack Gleeson isnt really a child at age 20. Also /r/aSongOfMemesAndRage

Edit:fucked up the link

[–]RANewton 8 points9 points ago

Fuck off is Joffrey the same age as me! Kid looks about 13.

[–]YS_Designs 4 points5 points ago

I doubt that you are a douche. And ,well, if you are, then you deserve this.

[–]Tensuke 0 points1 point ago

I'm 20, I get constantly taken for being 13-16 all the time...I keep telling myself, one of these days I'll grow into my age...

[–]nrgarcia92 -1 points0 points ago

Jack Gleeson is the same age as me! Kid looks about 13.

ftfy

but no I agree Joffery(the fictional character) is a dick and Jack Gleeson looks 13

[–]FuckYoureShit 1 point2 points ago

oh shit

TIL he's the kid in Batman Begins who gets one of Batman's gadgets.

Wow, not only did I totally not hate him at one point, but I actually related to him (considering how he looks up to Batman in that scene).

[–]Indestructavincible 1 point2 points ago

Not only that, but later on in the show, the same kid is trying to get on the island and is pushed away by an adult with his face. In a sense, he was very slowly slapped.

[–]icase81 1 point2 points ago

Where are you getting 20? He was born in 1999. That makes him 13, 14 at best.

Jack Gleeson is an Irish actor born in 1999, best known for his portrayal of Joffrey Baratheon in the HBO television series Game of Thrones.

[–]taibhse 0 points1 point ago

Jack Gleeson is an Irish actor born in 1992, best known for his portrayal of Joffrey Baratheon in the HBO television series Game of Thrones.

People can edit the wiki page. Today you learned why you don't trust it as a source.

He is in college at Trinity, so that would at least put him around 17-18 at least in age. Friend of mine saw him around the college a while back so I believe that part well enough.

[–]icase81 0 points1 point ago

I found an article after the fact that claimed he was 19, and it was a few months old. So wiki is wrong.

[–]taibhse 0 points1 point ago

...or he could be 20 now? I don't really care either way.

[–]icase81 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, pretty much, thats what I was saying. Older article saying he was 19, so he's likely 20 now.

[–]nrgarcia92 0 points1 point ago

Go to the link and read that again it says 1992. I was talking about this with a friend last year before he had a wiki page and it was hard to find a solid date but most things said around 19-20 at that time.

[–]SebbenandSebben 4 points5 points ago

In honor of the show being on in 30 min. This must make frontpage.

[–]Cavejohnson84 0 points1 point ago

FUCK THE FAKE KING, FUCK THAT LITTLE STUPID CUNT.

[–]deepthoughtsays 0 points1 point ago

The way he acts, I wouldn't describe him as anything resembling a child.

[–]Level_32_Mage 0 points1 point ago

He was like 16, not much of a child!

[–]WildSeven2 0 points1 point ago

Oh he's such a detestable little bastard. More beatings!

[–]OSLoT 0 points1 point ago

I wnt to see joffrey experience a proper "Archie slap". Those who have rocknrolla know what i mean.

[–]MechaVader 0 points1 point ago

Now if someone would just slap that "oh the world is a fairytale and everyone will be nice if I act proper" Sansa.

[–]goffers92 0 points1 point ago

I extend these slaps to all Sandford students !

[–]Umbe_Orso 0 points1 point ago

[–]mjc1027 0 points1 point ago

Somebody, somewhere, is fapping to that....what you looking at me for?.

[–]aspireS 0 points1 point ago

He close the eye before shit hits him.

[–]King-Joffrey 0 points1 point ago

:0

[–]MrRicey 0 points1 point ago

So many kids that given the chance would do exactly the same as jeoffry in GOT.

[–]xine302 0 points1 point ago

What episode is the first slap from?

[–]LiteweightPhenomenal 0 points1 point ago

It's titled The Epic of Charles Murphy

[–]graffiti81 0 points1 point ago

I feel like, at the end of the episode last night, Tyrion and Cersei are coming to the conclusion that something needs to be done with Joffrey.

I get the feeling, though, that won't happen.

[–]fuckhitler 0 points1 point ago

It's missing his mother slapping him.

[–]cfuse 0 points1 point ago

You missed one.

[–]Jaboomaphoo 0 points1 point ago

this is hardly abuse

[–]velvetconductor 0 points1 point ago

For a split second I thought that was Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie.

[–]campushippo 0 points1 point ago

Whatever happened to those poor whores he abused?

[–]coolbeaNs92 0 points1 point ago

It became an even better when I actually watched GOT and found out what a little shit King Joffrey is.

[–]snufflers 0 points1 point ago

I swear I've seen this before, though it wasn't as graphic...

[–]BerryBadrenath 0 points1 point ago

I cannot effing wait to see Joffrey die

[–]Cleanbeats 0 points1 point ago

I could watch this all day,

[–]shwayze547 0 points1 point ago

Impin' ain't easy

[–]jazzhat19 0 points1 point ago

and the kind said "Stop hitting me!" but Tyrion would not, for he was the king's own hand

[–]bhaiya1288 -1 points0 points ago

Game of Thrones FTW!!!!!!!!!

[–]the_catacombs 0 points1 point ago

The last hit.. it kinda killed something for me.. you can see the actor close his eye before the object hits.

[–]Tensuke 0 points1 point ago

Well, he did know that he was about to be hit in the face with a bit of fake shit, it's pretty hard to repress a reactionary thing like that.

[–]ChocolateStorm -1 points0 points ago

This isn't even child abuse. This is discipline. I wish people could realize the difference. That's why so many kids are growing up to be assholes. Parents are afraid of disciplining their children because someone will mistake it for child abuse. When I was little, I got spanked. I got the belt. I got soap in my mouth. And when I was grounded, by god I was grounded. I wasn't allowed to do anything except go to school and do homework. No games (SNES, N64), no tv (Hey Arnold, CatDog), no computer (AOL, remember that?).

And look at me now. I have grown up to be a respectable part of society. Not like these dumb kids now who think they are so entitled to everything in the world. Or the kids that run around screaming their heads off while the parent just watches (or doesn't watch, even worse!). A little discipline never hurt anyone.

EDIT: Abuse is when the child has done nothing wrong, and gets hurt anyways. Discipline is a firm spanking because they did something wrong, in order to instill in them that what they did was wrong and punishable.

[–]Saisino 0 points1 point ago

You don't need to spank/give the belt/ground your kids. that's not the problem. I have never been spanked, nor anything else. And i'm not running around like a little idiot. The thing is people get spoiled with gifts. they get what they want. kids needs to learn that they can't get everything.

[–]monkeyface496 -1 points0 points ago

NOO!! I'm reading the books first and am about on par with season 2 episode 3! Not ready to know this about Joffrey yet! :(

[–]MickeyJim -1 points0 points ago

Joffrey 2012!!!!!

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 8 points9 points ago
