All 49 ‘Game of Thrones’ Main Characters, Ranked Worst to Best (Photos)

There are a lot of characters on “Game of Thrones.” Too many for me to make jokes about all of them here, anyway. 49 will have to satisfy. If you don’t like them, Littlefinger himself, Petyr Baelish, will poison your wedding cake.

49. Viserys Targaryan

A total jackass, Viserys had maybe the best death in the whole series: having molten gold dumped on his head.

48. Rickon
Who? (I feel bad for this joke after season 6, but I’m going to leave it)

47. Robb Stark
The red wedding was a coming of age for viewers of the show. Rewatching those early seasons knowing that’s gonna happen exposes Robb for the lame dude he really is.

46. Stannis
Basically a stodgy, moralistic Southern Baptist minister. I’m from Alabama, so I was pulling for him.

45. Bran Stark
Needs to work on his pouty face and grow out his hair if he wants to be the new Jon Snow.

44. Roose Bolton
He’s like the Count Dooku of this show, acting like he’s working for himself though he’s really just a pawn who probably will get his head cut off by young Darth Vader.

43. Daario
Was a hot blond dude, but now (after a casting change) is just a regularly attractive brown-haired dude who was banished from Dany’s bed because who cares about love anyway?

42. Ned Stark
The Mark Twain of the show, giving his kids a bunch of advice that wasn’t actually useful before he got murdered. Wait, how did Mark Twain die? This analogy may not track all the way but whatever.

41. Joffrey
Oh man. Remember that time the cake was too dry and it made his eyes bug out and his face turn purple and he spit foamy red drool everywhere? Hilarious.

40. Shae
Did what she needed to survive, until it turned out doing what she needed to do to survive (hook up with Tywin Lannister) got her killed.

39. Tommen
Not the most decisive king, either before or after he had sex. But he’s better than Joffrey, I guess.

38. Khal Drogo
Got fridged for the sake of Daenerys’ character arc. Beautiful.

37. Gendry
Melisandre put a leech on his penis one time. It feels like that’s all I should put here.

36. Theon

I’m still pulling for his post-castration power play. Or for him to just get killed already.

35. Jorah Mormont
Really sad because he can’t afford to buy Khaleesi’s love.

34. King Robert
Probably the most chill and carefree character on the show, drunk most of the time, yelling a lot even though he really didn’t have any problems. Well, until that time he drank too much and got killed by a boar.

33. Ramsey Bolton
Is Ramsey the most demented dude on this show? Well, he’s definitely the funniest demented dude, which isn’t actually funny at all when you think about it.

32. Catelyn Stark
Loses to the Lannisters both in the Game of Thrones and the Game of Angsty Overprotective Moms.

31. The Hound
Killed the butcher’s boy, then spent several seasons saying lots of mean things before being left to die on a rock. Nice. Let’s see how his redemption arc goes.

30. Talisa Stark
Every joke that comes to mind is far too reprehensible even for a “Game of Thrones” list, so I’m not going to put one here.

29. Sam
A huge nerd who predictably finds love in a house of somebody else’s daughter-wives.
