SBS Comedy launches Game of Thrones parodies
SBS Comedy has commissioned its first online video series parodying key moments from the cult TV show Game of Thrones ahead of the launch of the fourth series on HBO and Foxtel today.
Comedian Dan Illic and the Motion Picture Company produced the series SBS Does Game of Thrones including five sketches with titles such as The Very Awkward Red Wedding and Ramsey’s Penis Box.
Emerging Sydney comedians from the Project 52 and sketch show Make Way for Ducklings wrote and performed the episodes with director Andrew Garrick, head writer and director of Micro Nation, assisted by stand-up comic Michael Hing.

Additional titles of the series include Jon Snow Knows Nothing, Little Finger Has a Meaningful Conversation and The Small Council Meeting.
Neal Downward, managing editor of comedy at SBS, said: “Our first videos made exclusively for SBS Comedy use emerging Australian comedians and focuses on what we’re all thinking about right now. Game of Thrones.
“Seriously, did you get a load of the new season trailer? This season is going to be off the chai… anyway the videos are very funny and you should watch them.”
The Small Council Meeting
