Game of Thrones has been known to feature some really tough dads. So it's fitting that the premium cable channel would release a video, celebrating the approaching Father's Day, which just so happens to coincide with the Season 4 finale of the beloved fantasy drama series. Go ahead and bask in the glow of these memorable father moments, featuring harsh words from dear old Dad!
Among the fathers featured in Game of Thrones' "Happy Father's Day" tribute video, we have... Craster, who admits he has more daughters than he can count...
And then there's Robert Baratheon, seen shaming Joffrey for being disarmed by a little girl.
Not to be left out, there's Balon Greyjoy, who doesn't want his son dressed as a whore.
Finally, last but by no means least, Tywin Lanister, who actually sentenced his own son to death.
What a jerk!
But they aren't all bad dads on Game of Thrones, despite what the video suggests. We can laugh at just how harsh some of these dads are, but let's never forget the great Eddard Stark, who led by example and not only cared for his legitimate children, but took in a child that he fathered out of wedlock and raised him properly.
Rest in peace, Ned Stark! Gone but not forgotten.
Happy father's day, Game of Thrones fans! And don't forget to tune in this Sunday night for the Game of Thrones Season 4 finale, which airs at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO.
