'SNL' sets 'GoT' in South Central L.A.
While last night's Cookie Lyon vs. Cookie MonsterSNL skit was pretty good, we're actually partial to their Game of Thrones parody, which imagines what the HBO fantasy series would be like if it were helmed by Boyz in the Hood director John Singleton and took place in an eighth kingdom called South Centros.
NBC has not posted the full sketch online but here are are a few of our favorite details:
1. THE OPENING CREDITS
OK, it's no
, but still, decent work on short notice.
2. JAIME LANNISTER DRIVE-BY
Also, Kenan Thompson's packing ... a sword.
3. THE REVENGE OF RAY-RAY BARATHEON
Forget Pete Davidson. Leslie Jones is our favorite new featured cast member.
4. "IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOUR FATHER DIED. HE WENT TO THAT RED WEDDING! EVERYBODY DIED!"
If they hadn't worked host Taraji P. Henson into this skit, we probably would have gone Red Wedding on them.
5. DON'T HATE THE SLAYER, HATE THE GAME
Lannisters represent, 'cuz.
