[@DomSr]

For us non book readers I would say the red wedding was the most shocking, Ramsey's and Joffrey's deaths were the most satisfying, blood and cheese was the most disturbing, but Shireen's death just hits different 😢

[@coco2.2]

THE WORST 😢

[@taniesha64]

The red wedding I was devastated for weeks lol

[@vivekkumar-jb1tb]

That's what we call a recency bias... Redwedding and stannis daughter's death>>> if they visually showed head cutting scene then it would have been 1st

[@r.a.victory9812]

It would be brutal and torturous if they made Helaena choose like in the books... 😵😵💀

[@nbrown487]

I agree, nothing was worse than the red wedding.

[@sitomejia9620]

I don’t know why you think it has to be recency bias. It could be just the fact that watchmojo simply thought it was the worst one. The top 3 picks had to do with killing children. i think the fact that killing the targaryen kid was not public and more intimate made it more brutal

[@vivekkumar-jb1tb]

@@sitomejia9620 ??? there was no resistance, no acting by the victim we can only imagine what happened they didn't show on the other hand red wedding had brutally knife stabs into the pregnant lady's belly top notch acting better music.... stannis's daughter screaming for life is just too brutal there is no way blood and cheese ( show version) us no where near their brutality

[@KanjiG3]

Red wedding? What is this?

[@benjaminngopwaamos6878]

The fact that Catelyn Stark knew something was up when the rains of Castamere song began to play and Rob didn't was more disturbing.

[@Dopecheetah]

Yep. Good point

[@rishiadi]

Ned stark must be like REALLY?

[@benjaminngopwaamos6878]

I was surprised it wasn't number 1 or at least in the top 5.

[@JamesHightower18]

Well it’s technically not brutal since u don’t see it

[@clintharris4180]

​@@JamesHightower18 technically there are a few you don't see, none of them had the severe impact an ramifications as Ned Starks beheading.......first season they kill off the MAIN character I was like no way!!!!

[@perryco34]

Sansa’s rape to me was far more disturbing.

[@KanjiG3]

Why did I read it as "Santa's rape"...

[@Exo-cannibalistic-havok]

​@@KanjiG3 because she was on Ramsey's naughty list

[@gevorg1989]

I hate when book-readers criticise it but play coy and don't reveal how it was reportedly her BFF (who only appeared in pilot episode but was a minor character in books) who was raped and faced much worse torturing than Sansa. As if it's OK if that happens to someone else as long as not main character

[@Fegyo98]

a sex is more brutal than bloody killing? 🙄🙄

[@gevorg1989]

@@Fegyo98 not sex- rape

[@fireandbloodKMD]

I've seen every episode multiple times. There are only 2 scenes I can not watch. One being Shireen Baratheon. However, the worst for me wasn't on this list... When Ramsey sets his dogs on the poor Frey girl & her newborn. I legit can't stomach or bear it.

[@kelsiosterman1]

I can’t either! Out of all the things that happen in this series that really disturbs me and I don’t know why.

[@alexisrushing3091]

I can’t watch walda’s death either or Oberyn Martell

[@alexisrushing3091]

I cannot watch it either, especially walda’s and oberyn Martell

[@celieboo]

Walda and her baby's death was very disturbing. It definitely should have been #1.

[@fireandbloodKMD]

I think it's so hard to watch not just because it's brutal & sickeningly cruel, but bc they are so innocent & defenseless as well. Lady Walda was kind & sweet (despite being a Frey) & everything about her story broke my heart.

[@patrickoehlke9984]

Ramsey got what he deserved! Plain and simple!

[@paracyntrix]

[@hemantkulkarni7147]

No mention for Viserys getting “the crown for a king”?

[@heatherpayne1995]

I know it's just a minor character's death. But the rat bucket torture from season 2 of game of thrones was pretty brutal.

[@celieboo]

Yes! It was the stuff of nightmares.

[@businesssecretsofthepharao8901]

That was an actual method of torture in medieval England.

[@mlsaulnier]

Most brutal moment in GOT: The start of Season 8.

[@bangjoeofficial]

Only right answers for #1 and #2 are Shireen and the Red Wedding. I personally put Shireen being burned above the Red Wedding cuz of her screams and just yeah, she was pure. But I'll accept anyone who thinks the Red Wedding was worst. Red Wedding was more shocking than anything. You knew they were considering burning Shireen but you just thought they wouldn't go there. But they did.

[@Subham_on_Youtube]

The Redwedding will forever be the most brutal moment not just in 'Game Of Thrones' but in the entire TV History.

[@simbalesliechoto8663]

Brutal sure but entire TV History, that award goes to the fate of Tigs daughter in Season 5, Sons Of Anarchy....that was brutal

[@Dantheman-bw8hv]

Shireen's sacrifice was worse, in my opinion. Yes, the red wedding was brutal and sad. However, Robb was at war, and at war terrible things happen. Shireen was a sweet, innocent girl and it was for nothing! Not to mention the fact that her parents were there and allowed it to happen

[@AndreaDoesYoga]

😱 Absolutely heart-stopping moments from GoT and HotD! 🔥

[@pumpkineder]

Red Wedding should have been the easy #1. It was THE iconic Game of Thrones moment that has countless reaction compilations. Absolutely no one reacted to House of the Dragon like that scene

[@LukeKetchum7003]

I can't believe you left out what happens to Sansa on her wedding night. What Ramsay did to her in front of Theon, I think about it all the time.

[@kdr121279]

The fact the Red Wedding isn’t number one is a huge surprise. Yes, Shireen’s death and blood and cheese are horrifying, but nothing tops Red Wedding.

[@thisismetim1833]

20:29 yup.Shireen and Jaehaerys😢. . Thosr poor kids suffered for their parents actions😢

[@hakunamatata3214]

There are 2 scenes I struggle to watch. Oberyn's death and Aemma's death. I always cringe but end laughing with Oberyn because it is entertainingly gruesome but there is something about Aemma that is just too much to handle. It's the only scene in pretty much anything that I skip every time.

[@ASparkleross]

Nothing, and I do mean nothing, has ever made me more sick than Oberyn's eye gouge/head smash. I legit had to take Tums and watch videos of puppies to try and get over it. Sickening.

[@ericko85r]

nothing surpass Ramsay feeding his hounds with her stepmom and brother

[@kubranurcelik-oz3ub]

Who's here before this video hits 1 million views? Early squad, where you at?

[@lilygoatdemon]

In Viserys's defense of the awful scene in HotD; he was told flat-out Aemma was going to dye. The maesters suggested the c-section, with the belief that BOTH of them were going to die if they didn't intervene. At least with the c-section, the child MIGHT live, but at that point, Aemma was already a dead woman and there was no way to save her, let alone her and the baby. Horrific as it is, I understand the logic and why Viserys chose that. He didn't want to lose them both; when Aemma was effectively at this point giving up her life to try and birth this child. It's a shame they weren't able to help Aemma at least in some other way, or at least TALK TO HER about it, and I think those choices were really messed up. But I at least get the reasoning because why Viserys and the maesters did what they did. It just sucks a lot.

[@redviper6805]

Of course The Red Wedding was No.3 b/c it happened in Season 3. Shireen’s death upset me a lot😤 Oberyn’s demise should have been higher on the list

[@tiffanytaylor994]

You all are spreading so much love. It’s truly heartwarming. Thank you!

[@anamelesspasserby]

Red Wedding should be #1 or Ned's death or Shireen, etc. Blood and Cheese show version was a joke. Actually all scenes from HOTD should be on the lower half of the list because those scenes have been small fry compared to GOT. GOT's shocking scenes made a huge impact on pop culture and had the world talking which is something HOTD hasn't really done. HOTD isn't a watercooler show in the way GOT was.

[@ashleypainter6734]

In the battle of the bastards when Jon is on the ground and can't get up 😨

[@anamelesspasserby]

No Jaime Lannister losing his hand? Really? That should have easily made Top 5. These watchmojo GOT lists are always lacking something.

[@Dennis85NL]

I know you guys like your clicks and reactions but this is outrageious . Ned and the Red wedding should be 1 and 2.

[@livori624]

How is Sansa getting assaulted and Jaime getting his hand cut off not on the list

[@Fegyo98]

because yt and this channel is so weak.. they not even showing the scenes :D and those 2 was even cut off in 2024 from a yt list like this 😅😅😅😅

[@kaylahgoodwin8794]

Sansa’s wedding night and Theon having to watch scarred me.

[@A_Rose_From_Concrete]

Shireen's and Jaehaeys' deaths were uncalled for 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@marvinm8343]

The Red Wedding should be no. 1. It was just a wholesale slaughter of the Northerners. The corpse of Robb Stark being paraded with Grey Wind's head is a scene that'll give nightmares. No mention of the Boltons? Ramsay flayed at least 5 characters on the show. The Mountain was brutal too, as well as his minions like Tickler and Weasel.

[@coco2.2]

no Ned Stark? Sansa’s rape? rat torture? also Shireen should be #1 😢💔

[@thisismetim1833]

HOTD was truly a blessing,a relief for me After how GOT season 7 and 8.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

I didn’t read the books, so I consider myself shocked when Blood and Cheese executed their attack. Prince Jaehaerys, still too young to understand how dangerous the world is, for all the “fun” he had at that council meeting, couldn’t have anticipated what happened that night.

[@TeniBear10]

In the book, it's almost worse. They force Helaena to choose which of her sons will be killed (by threatening to brutally r@pe her and her daughter), then kill the non-chosen one.

[@shanechipman7157]

Nah bro this is definitely recency bias everyone that clicked on this video either expected the red wedding or Sansa’s rape to be #1 y’all trippin.

[@aSelvaraj-yy2nt]

Who else is binge-watching these?

[@gideonscinematography]

this is recency bias. I can mention 20 brutal moments from game of thrones alone. how is the Blackwood and bracken fight that we only see 2 seconds of more brutal than Theon beheading that man, or even more brutal than Jamie losing his hand

[@nichhodge8503]

8:33 Talking about literally punching someone’s head in! I’ve heard some people warn others by saying “I’ll punch your head in” but Ser Criston literally punches Joffrey’s head in!

#1 Rhaenyra rejecting Criston Cole and telling him he can't be anything more than her boy toy

[@sebastianleonhartsberger9522]

Joffrey cutting out the singer’s tongue should have been on there

[@jameshedrick4490]

The Red Wedding is number 1 and nothing in House of the Dragon will ever chance that.

[@Seinneka83]

Rickon Stark. Boy could run a straight line good though.

[@iamkimishima]

How the hell did Joffrey from HoD make it on this list with just a brief mention of one of the most satisfying deaths in all of GoT, prince/king Joffrey's death. Just don't get the way this list was structured (the place each event was on the list) as well as how they were even selected. I think that it would have played out better to section into houses and talk about the most brutal deaths in each major house from both GoT and HoD. Joffrey, and particularly Myrcella and Tomen's death were more sad and shocking than some of the entries on this list, so lumping houses together means a more robust and complete list. Just my opinion though.

[@nichhodge8503]

For such a big dragon Vhagar has twice so far come out of nowhere to attack and kill two dragons and their riders. For a dragon that’s meant to be 260ft long with a wingspan of 500ft you’d think Vhagar would be easy to see coming and a sneak attack would be impossible! Goes to show in nearly 200yrs of living and multiple wars Vhagar has learned a few things about war and fighting over the years, you sneaky old girl.

[@tofu8676]

I lost my innocence the day i saw the red wedding.

[@skyshatter3633]

The real red wedding happened in the vampire diaries when Alaric and josie were getting married. Great video btw. Hate Ramsey.

[@SmokinBlunts781]

Daemon supporter here… Not only will I defend him I will also say he would have been the best Targaryen king ever. The right amount of violence and intelligence plus caraxes 🔥 viserys should of knelt to his lil bro and built his valerian free hold legos in peace

[@G1Grimlock94]

Now that's gore

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

A lot of people are gonna complain that Blood and Cheese made #1. A common complaint after that episode was they wanted the child murder to be more dark and brutal like it was in the book

[@Nonyabidness122]

Theon’s torture was from birth, he rarely had a moment to his own mind. He is one of the truly tragic characters of this series. I’m not defending his betrayal of the Starks, just acknowledging the events that led up to it

[@LMC3-p9t]

How did Ned starks death not make this list ?!????

[@WickedWompum313]

Veamond scene was the best

[@gevorg1989]

2:18 is about to start 11:23 regrets none? Watch S1 finale 😅 And he wouldn't lose an eye if he didn't pick a stone

[@gevorg1989]

9:04 blackmail? Or bond over both of them being lovers who can't marry?

[@drewfugiel2361]

I would say this list is clearly not made by someone that actually watches the shows, except they left neds death off the list but mentioned it anyways like the freaking crab feeder dying off screen that no one cared about at all was at 20 and Ned (along with many others) didn’t get a spot

[@MeaCulpa04]

That Jaherys scene could have been so much worse / better depending on how you see it. It was bad for how they wrote it and scenes it but good it terms of what it represents in the storyline.

H-Hodor?

[@vumo2422]

You should’ve done this list after season 2 episode 4 of House of the Dragon.

there are a few brutal scenes in GOT, but nothing haunts me like Theon getting the bone pulled out of his damn finger!

So I take that death by dragon would be too quick and painless?

[@gevorg1989]

16:15 prove it - no DNA analyses at the time, plus no dark-skinned Velarions mentioned at the time. Also de jure dad and the latter's parents are OK with it, they don't put forth any illegitimacy claims =D

That was number 1??? How much are they paying you to put that there?

[@gokurakuclerk]

I get that it was referenced but the purple wedding doesn’t place?

[@iamkimishima]

My thoughts exactly. I commented this already but I think if they went by each major house in both GoT and HoD then we could have gotten a brief look at all of the impactful, shocking, sad, etc. deaths and murders in each family.

[@lordgiantsbane]

Also you don’t have rights to a dragon. Just because Vhagar was Laena’s mount doesn’t mean she automatically passes to her child. Thats not how dragon bonding works. While it was a dick move to claim her on the same night as her funeral Aemond did nothing wrong to that point.
