Game of Thrones (King Joffrey)

Game of Thrones - Top 10 Gambling-Related Memes

If you’ve seen the Game of Thrones series, then you are no doubt familiar with King Joffrey Baratheon. He was the second Baratheon to sit on the iron throne. However, contrary to what most people thought, he was actually a Lannister. Joffrey was born from the incestuous relationship between Queen Cersei Lannister and her twin brother, Jaime Lannister.

Weird, right? Maybe that’s why their son wasn’t the people’s beloved king. He was always angry and often taken for granted.

Enough about him. This meme describes a feeling every gambler and probably Joffrey is familiar with: losing consistently at slots. Then you decide to change the machine, and boom, you hit a big win. Now, you don’t want to try another game, and it becomes a slot worthy of a king.

At one point, Ted Mosby, a close friend of Barney, suggests that he needs to address his gambling problems. However, Barney, being the corny individual as always, responds by saying it’s hardly a gambling problem if you are ‘awesome’ at it. If you’re a fan of the series, you know that’s just typical Barney.
