this series doesn't get the viewership it deserves

[@hairlessoyster3689]

A Tree damn right

[@Dredrick]

It's still pretty new. could grow with time.

[@taylorgayhart9497]

A Tree probably because no one is really advertising it. I just found it by chance, and I am always on his main channel. Also KZbin's algorithm blocks out things with a lot of curse words and such.

[@hairlessoyster3689]

A Tree #schwiftysquwad. Small but loyal. Like a pack of killer chihuahuas.

[@rikkeholmberg]

Top notch Schwifty this one. Passionately delivered. Amazing. You want ants? Cause that is how you get ants!

[@alexanderreese8688]

Love hitting the gym next to lads knowing they're listening to heavy beats and I've got this Aussie genius in my ear

[@JustNatax3]

Ander Reese We get it, you lift

[@Circleoffire37]

Ander Reese I don't think he lives in Australia anymore though or he's uploading quite late in the western part, as his upload schedule is Mon, Wed and Fri and I live in Sydney and get these uploaded Tue, Thu and Sat

[@harrypotterfanman1]

What if Mord is actually Rhaegar Targaryen?

[@lucinda3964]

Holy shit that would be an interesting story! Start working on that theory.

[@humbletreestump8134]

No Mord may be the Prince that was promised

[@andrick11X]

This Episode has some amazing quotes from Schwifty "Everyone's favorite character Mord is brandishing beans at Tyrion Lannister" and "George sneaks in a food description here, it goes on for several pages" to name a few

[@ruigerd]

"Is beans.... here" So eloquent, speech 100 Mord for president

[@col10me]

Another parallel between Greek stories and ASOIAF is that of Lyanna Stark and Helen of Troy. Their departures both started a bloody war, and years later people still have conflicting stories as to whether she was abducted or went of her own free will.

[@adamklaits6379]

Tantalus was punished because he sacrificed his son and served his flesh to the gods, so don't feel too sorry for him.

[@miketrujillo3677]

Abraham sweating rn

[@DoubLL]

But don't worry, everyone, the gods reviewed the son and even gave him a prosthetic for the part they accidentally ate lol. The ultimate "feeding my son to the gods (gone wrong) (got arrested)" prank

[@domlittler8656]

I'd love to hear you and Preston talk Ice and Fire together.

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

"These are the stuff that Froot Loops are made of"

[@MrFirecasters]

I just have to say, this is the best (and most concise) GoT Abridged episode yet! I love how it's not at all about Tyrion and is about pretty much anything else... which makes me think that THIS is the new GoT content we didn't know we need up until now. Amazing work Alt ;)

[@Boyzby]

Man, I got plenty of good laughs in this one, and I learned about the etymology of "tantalize".

[@catathielemann3239]

Loved this episode. Just getting home, went to a family birthday and all I wanted was to get back to watch this. I think I'm addicted. Thanks so much, Alt, and happy weekend, everybody :)

[@shieraseastar9300]

Man, you crack me up! These videos are pure gold, and I don't mean a river of uncomfortable hot gold either.... lol

[@TGFPdan]

wheres the hairless oyster wow hes really late

[@hairlessoyster3689]

TGFPdan eating and pooping. Be back soon. Have Fun

[@zetsubanned4308]

You are indeed on fire. I'm fire. Everything is on fire. More at 9.

[@Firmus777]

We do know what the people from Greek myths punished in the underworld did, in most versions of the myth of Tantalus he is punished for killing his own son, cooking him and then serving him to the gods for example.

[@SleeperJauffre]

Peppa pig taught me that (clears throat)

[@Nostalgiamon]

Just in case you do read the comments; I just wanted you to know you're getting me through some really horrible revision for my finals. The abridged series content is a wonderful break and background noise and I really hope you keep it up for the whole series, and it gains as much attention as it deserves.

[@Lee_Enfield95]

i think Archer would say Phrasing lmao

[@CRob172]

Ahh snap what's alt drinking today ladies and gents?

[@daniemusc]

i liked tonight's particular brand of shwiftiness

[@Mortis3897]

Vodka

[@camdude2000]

I love these videos, hope you’ll finish a clash of kings

[@AlexanderEklund]

You /are/ on fire today. Damn man. I still adore this thing, it's so damned good.

[@divelostmind]

I learn a lot from this series, loved the Tantalus bit.

[@KlaraL-_-]

Amazing! I have a new found appreciation for Mord.

[@redcd3743]

Great of u to keep finding Greek associations with ASOIAF!! So Tantalus actually ties in even with guest right! According to mythology, Tantalus was so arrogant that he stole ambrosia and nectar from the gods when they invited him to Olympus, and when a God-Party (!) went to face him at his house, he tried to "trick" them by serving them at the table.....his son!!!!.... Cut into pieces.....!!! he killed his son.....!!! And fed him to the gods in pieces.....!! The curse that fell upon him was said to "tantalise" his progeny for aeons, since Menelaos and Agamemnon and all these fun ppl are his kin!! and btw, the fruit was grapes! Another mofo that suffered in the afterlife was Syssifus: he had to push a rock up a mountain for eternity and once he reached the top the rock would just roll back down on him! Keep up the informative analyses, they are quite fascinating! ;) PS: Btw, person that would cut a knot instead of untying it: Alexander the Great, Gordian Knot! PS2: death drive, originally proposed by Spielrein, Freud called it "todestrieb".. Yes, Freud was a nutjob! PS3: yes, Greeks are creeps too!

[@liviavalverde1599]

This one has been the best so far. Can't wait for when you reach the adventures of Doña Brienne and Pod Panza.

[@calikal1968]

Hilarious moments with Mord!! You were on fire!!!

aha.. “i dont think theres singular cocaine” 😂

[@nanmetselaar2204]

haha that lemonhead reference tho! Keep it up Alt Shift X

[@frsttmshy]

Omg, man you had me on the floor with the Peppa Pig comment, you are brilliant! This series is awesome, please keep them coming.

[@eyedekay]

I WAS EATING THOSE BEENS

[@circependragon1201]

eyedekay Concept: Mord is actually Frank who somehow found his way from Arcadia Bay to Westeros years later.

[@Ghostwalker2061]

Dude, I want to hear the theory about how the Red Comet is really a space ship. Is there a Westerosi version of Heaven's Gate?

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

My reign is just begun!

[@lythaogg]

Welcome...**tangents**greeks**joy***..... cheers.

[@theshackledgamer799]

Tantalus tricked the gods into engaging in cannibalism by eating his own children, much like how Manderly bakes the Freys into pies.

[@hollin220]

I wanna hear Maud’s backstory too! I always figured he was a Mountain Clansman who got the gaoler job by some feat of heroism.

[@Kwap88]

BEES!?

[@moostymoosty7857]

cool it, fantano

[@otterlover3399]

I believe Tantalus either killed or ate his own kids.

[@Modguw]

21:00 that's called projection. Another one of the Freud family contributions

[@NostalgiaChubby]

Peppa Pig knows her shit

[@IvorMektin1701]

Started rewatching the show to prep for July, is there a copy of the original GoT pilot floating about? You can really see original scenes with the film grain on the Blueray.

[@ABLEARC]

I wissssh

[@WorthlessWinner]

4:00 pythagoras disaproves of your beans

[@XxIsolationistxX]

ayy lmao

[@jackkellyattorneyatlaw8921]

shots fired?

[@marktravor4082]

pretty sure tantalus fed human flesh to the gods and was being punished for reverse cannibalism

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

33:05 I like how this is presented like they all genuinely think it's awesome and brave and badass they would kill an unarmed man half their size. But then again there was an unhealthy amount of fans that thought it was sooooo badass of Catelyn getting 12 random goons to all draw their swords on an unarmed man half their size. You'd think that'd be the definition of being cowardly.

[@DerFrischkopf]

youre at exactly 10k subs since a week or so

[@GeekFurious]

Best part of this entire series is the Preston Jacobs shade. Find it impressive he can spend so much time and effort reading GRRM to NOT UNDERSTAND HIM.

[@deffientllynotjalenbutler1736]

Where is all the Mord merch HBO

[@skippycoulter]

Not a spaceship, it's some weird lifeform. #CometIsAVolcryn

[@lucygonzalez3692]

Peppa Pig 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Bluemilk92]

You know, it's funny how consistently I've seen this pattern repeated on different ASoIaF channels. The creators insult Preston Jacobs, get a pretty big negative fan backlash, then rescind their sentiment at a later date. He is a *really* easy target 'cause (by his own admission) 50% of the shit he says is fuckin' bonkers, were talkin' totally fruit-loops here, but I also don't think people realize just how popular he is.

[@UraStr]

thumbs up if you wanna see "GOT abridged the series"

[@josiethompson2420]

You gave this chapter a 10 but Bran V a 3?

[@stephaniec9539]

i hope they werent maple beans..

[@Monotremewisdom]

Schwifty, I love you bro, maybe try to avoid saying stuff like “spaz attack” when talking about epilepsy, and the diminutive stuff about Little People? You’re fantastic, I love your stuff, you’ll never see this ‘cause it’s so far back, just a suggestion 😊 Thank you for making these! Listening to them on my commute is what I look forward to every morning!!

[@_anastos]

All that stuff you said Preston would think, your probably wrong about half of it.

[@catathielemann3239]

#CometIsAVolcryn ?

[@sffrnndzn]

Nah, man, in the later books doesn't Tyrion fantasize about raping and killing Cersei? He def isn't less vindictive.
