“Game of Thrones Fan” Barack Obama Can’t Remember Any Of The Characters’ Names

Caught with a dot trying to be down with the kids.

Barack Obama not being able to remember the characters in his “favourite show” reminds us of when we wore a Nirvana t-shirt but couldn’t name any songs.

Looks like the US President was caught rapid trying to be down with the kids. Tut tut.

He has often enthused about his “favourite show” Game of Thrones, but when quizzed on the HBO hit series by the folk at GQ, he couldn’t back it up.

In fact, the only name he managed to drop was Jon Snow – the equivalent of Smells Like Teen Spirit in Nirvana terms.

When asked who his favourite character was, however, he was at a loss, and answered:

“My favorite character is probably… the dwarf, what’s his name?”

Backing himself into a hole, he continued: “I remember the characters, so when I watch it, I know exactly what’s going on.”

Hmm…

“But if you read a review of the show afterwards and they’re mentioning such and such, the only one I remember is Jon Snow, because I can pronounce Jon Snow.”

Yeah, yeah. Tell it to the judge.
