one of the most underrated things is how although Ned is overall disappointed in what Robert has become, he still can't help himself from cracking up at the banter lmao
Well robert is right in every sentence , fuck joffrey , humiliate the guy who couldn't impeach the destruction of the temple of the seven , kill daenarys , respect the stark ... 100% accurate
In the books, after he's convinced Robert not to take part in the tourney, and while he's being more and more aware of the Lannister plotting treason, Ned enjoys seeing Robert on his best behavior and cannot help himself but think that this is still his childhood friend, and he then has no doubts that if he were to find proof of the Lannister treasons and present them to him, he'd tear them all apart, and if Tywin were to dare rise up against him, Robert would smash him like he smashed Rhaegar. It obviously doesn't happen like that, but it's sweet to see how Ned deep down trusts the Robert he knows
Things went to sh*t when Littlefinger put his plan into action. When Robert died it turned bad faster though, of course, but even before that the situation was bad: he was surrounded by people he couldn't trust (and he knew that to some degree) and he was basically "invaded" by Lannisters. He mentioned it, he knew about it. Yet he let it happen, he let Tywin take control over the throne bit by bit over the years. They just couldn't take full control of it while Robert was still alive since he was a strong man who still had a lot of strong allies.
People say he was a bad king, but there is no evidence to support that. Even if you say that was Jon Arryn's doing Rob was smart enough put Jon Arryn in charge. Ironically Robert's biggest mistake was making Ned hand of the King. Stannis or Renly would have been better suited.
Not appointing Stannis as King was Robert's biggest mistake,he should have abdicated once he saw how he wasnt cut out to be king,he just didnt fit the role and he admits as much but he is too stubborn to give it up.@@Derekivery
A tragedy we never got to see Bobby B in his prime, the demon of the trident.

@danzansandeev6033 Ned and the prostitute just have a similar niche sense of humor so her little side-snarks at Robert made him laugh. Ned also just gets along with smallfolk well in general. Like treating his servants more like extended family than servants; or when he visited the brothel and Robert's babymama opened up to him right away, not just about the physical facts but her emotions, as well. He'd be a good therapist.
He only kept the peace because every kingdom was licking its wounds after the rebellion. Half the kingdoms were ready to go with one another. If the next generation had come into their own, it could have lasted. Joffery with Sansa, Robb marrying Margaery. But then those family ties don't always secure loyalties *cough RENLY cough*
@@HiveFleetUlfang1 But if you think about it, the war started literally hours after Robert’s death. Joffrey sentencing Ned was the beginning of it, and that wouldn’t had even happened if Robert had still been king.

That'd be the expectation for a second son of a major house. There's plenty of examples of this - Kevan Lannister, the Blackfish, Oberyn Martell, and Benjen Stark come to mind. Of course, there was no way for him to know that Bran would get shoved out of a tower by his Kingsguard.
The happiness Robert displays seeing and being with Eddard early on is so beautifully juxtaposed by his sudden rage when Ned refuses him later. They were best friends, and even in his blind rage Bobby would never have let Ned come to harm.
No wonder he called Ned an honorable fool- Ned was in a rather strong position - Hand and Best Friend of the king...was in good books of Varys and Baelish..Had more houses in North supporting him..willling to go to war for him..good obedient brother, wife and children..from that position to the executioning block - that escapated quickly due to his stubbornness!
Ned being an honorable fool was actually good on the long run. Even though the Starks are almost gone (as far as northeners know) all of Ned's vassals still plot against the Boltons in the books, just because they want to avenge Ned and his family. He grew up far away w/ Robert in the Vale, and still he built such a trustworthy relationship with northern folk that they were willing to risk everything to defend and avenge the Starks. Just goes to show how the North works. It even traces back to the old kings of the North - the king who knelt basically gave up his throne right away to Aegon the Conqueror because he didn't want any northern blood to be spilled. Meanwhile, houses like Lannister and Tyrell only exist because they were vassals backstabbing their kings in order to climb the social ladder.
@@boitrash4279 Do you think Ned would be satisfied with the fact that so many innocent people had to die just so his House could rise to the top? Having Daenerys killed earlier would have prevented much of the chaos and bloodshed that occurred later in the show. I guess you could argue she played a vital part in the battle against the White Walkers but really the Starks had that one covered and Arya ended up destroying the threat herself. Acting earlier against Cersei or aligning himself with Renly would have at least bought him some time and possibly allowed him to save Catelyn and Robb. Ultimately the Starks ascension to independence had more to do with Sansa's political opportunism, Bran's magical Three-Eyed Raven powers and Arya being an overpowered one-woman army than Ned's old-timey notions of honour. Ironically it was Jon Snow who adhered to Ned's values of honour and duty for the longest and he still suffered for it in the end. I think Ned would have been rather appalled if he could see what became of his House and family in the end.
“Joffrey will bare these scars for the rest of his life” “… You let that little girl disarm you?” Bro was more focused on his son losing to a girl than his injury 💀💀
Meanwhile in the afterlife. Robert: You f*cked it up, Ned. Ned: No, YOU f*cked it up, Robert. You and your not-son and full of incest, psycopath not-family. Robert: Yeah, I did, didn't I?
What should Robert have done? Immediately gone to war with the Lannisters after he was already spent from beating the Targaryens? Marrying into the Lannister family was basically a political necessity for the stability of the realm and he couldn't help the fact that his wife was an incestuous scumbag. Tywin basically had the whole realm over a barrel by the end of the rebellion and he was going to ensure his House prospered in the long run so there wasn't much choice other than to play ball with him. I suppose Robert's greatest mistake was spending so much time drinking and sleeping around that he didn't realize his children were actually Cersei and Jaime's, but even if he had discovered the truth and had them executed it still would have led to Tywin flipping out and taking revenge in some way. The only possible compromise would have been forcing Jaime to take the black and serve out his days in the Night's Watch so he could keep his head but not be able to continue his affair with Cersei.
Hbo needs to do a 8 episode season of roberts rebellion it would be the greatest thing to ever happen. To see robert , ned , Arthur daine, and barriston in their primes

Joffrey just wanted his approvel but never got that. he frequently raped cercei while drunk. and he spended all the money of the throne. which is the reason that Tyvion has so much power
When you realize why he fought the Targaryens in the first place, you can't help but wonder if he's the one who shit the bed that were the 7 kingdoms in the first place
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 because rhaegar targaryen stole his wife (from his perspective at least) and the mad king murdered his best friend's brother and dad in a horrific way just because he wanted to, Robert is more a hero than anything else, hes not perfect but still a good man
@@tereza1959I wouldn't say Robert was particularly noble in his youth, more a medieval fratbro with zero discipline and some delusional thoughts, but he had a great many moments where you see that he could have been a good man, even a great man. Unfortunately the Crown and the loss of Lyanna, no matter how skewed his love for her was, broke him. No excuse for his actions, especially not his refusal to punish Gregor Clegane and Amory Lorch, but Robert is mostly pitiful and tragic rather than outright loathsome
Have to understand how powerful house Stark was because Ned and the king are absolute battle brothers, while the Lannisters were obvious opportunists during the rebellion. The king visited Winterfell, while it should be the other way round. That is something to mind, looking at how the situation unfolds.
The 7 Kingdoms saw its best years with Robert going as far back as Aegon the V. Despite being labeled a terrible king his presence made up for it. No one dared cross him except for the Greyjoys and the learned the hard way.
When Robert was king, that's as good as it gets, all the rest of the kings were bolllllx, he demanded respect from Tywin the second best king, Stannis and his bro knee, sand swipers knee, rose peeps knee, the Starks , the vale, alll of em, bowed to Robert, so maybe he was the king who was promised
Robert had his personal shortcomings but he did much to stabilize the Realm. He won the throne by right of conquest and managed to keep all the great houses from tearing each other apart, which is an achievement in and of itself. Marrying Cersei was probably the greatest political move he ever made but it led to his downfall in the long run. You can only lay in bed with lions for so long before you get mauled.
Robert wasn't a great king, sad as it was, but he was a good man. Every time Dany insulted him in the book as "the usurper", I just gritted my teeth and thought "bite your tongue, princess incest".
Back when the show was truly amazing. It felt like an actual lived in world with real people. Instead of what it turned into, it ended up like a hollywood action movie trying to have the biggest most flashy moments instead of good writing and characters and plot
Robert Baratheon was a drunk idiot but also a Wise king and more respected than any other character in this show. His death was very important for the plot to advance, but I still would have love to see him live longer.
He wasn't stupid, he stopped caring. He never was a ruler, but he was a great warrior. His drinking, weird laughs and etc. that we see in his behaviour was more of a painkiller and a way of coping in order to keep himself going. There was a great scene that is partly here between him and Cersei, gives a good glimpse at how broken this man is.

@@abyrvalg_ not true. read the books. When he is on his deathbad he say that he regreted that he has been a shitty king and vater to joffrey. He even though he was worse then the mad king. Joffrey just wanted his approvel but never got that. he frequently raped cercei while drunk. and he spended all the money of the throne. which is the reason that Tyvion has so much power
@@abyrvalg_ he also hated to be king and never inhabit the small council, becuause he was drunk all the time and fucked hookers and girls
Would be funny if there actually was a dish called "The Boar That Got Me".
Should be called robert abusing every lannister in his sight
ONE KING
SEVEN KINGDOMS
His bromance with Ned is goals
"too soon bobby b" 💀
Robert baratheon, suffering from success
He was the best king after all.
Robert was the real hero of the story, it really makes me sad that he married Cersei and never had his own children inherit the iron throne 😭
He’s a tragic hero and a twisted parody of traditional fantasy heroes like slaying the dragon, saving the princess and overthrowing evil King.
When you realize why he fought the Targaryens in the first place, you can't help but wonder if he's the one who shit the bed that were the 7 kingdoms in the first place
@@simple-commentator-not-rea7345 because rhaegar targaryen stole his wife (from his perspective at least) and the mad king murdered his best friend's brother and dad in a horrific way just because he wanted to, Robert is more a hero than anything else, hes not perfect but still a good man
What are you talking about, his sone and heir Joffrey Baratheon takes his rightful place after his father!
@@tereza1959I wouldn't say Robert was particularly noble in his youth, more a medieval fratbro with zero discipline and some delusional thoughts, but he had a great many moments where you see that he could have been a good man, even a great man.
Unfortunately the Crown and the loss of Lyanna, no matter how skewed his love for her was, broke him. No excuse for his actions, especially not his refusal to punish Gregor Clegane and Amory Lorch, but Robert is mostly pitiful and tragic rather than outright loathsome
I love everything about this! so funny fr!
Have to understand how powerful house Stark was because Ned and the king are absolute battle brothers, while the Lannisters were obvious opportunists during the rebellion. The king visited Winterfell, while it should be the other way round. That is something to mind, looking at how the situation unfolds.
The 7 Kingdoms saw its best years with Robert going as far back as Aegon the V.
Despite being labeled a terrible king his presence made up for it. No one dared cross him except for the Greyjoys and the learned the hard way.
The beginning of GOT was so strong, I wish they took their time with the last part of the series
The WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEE is pregnant....So get MOOOOREEEEE! - Bobby B
"bow ya shits" always hits
I love the fear he can instill in others
Every time Bobby B laughs, an angel gets its wings
I honestly thought he was a hilarious character, even tho he was obnoxious af I couldn't help but like him
Robert is the definition of the guy that peaked in college
Poor Lancel though.
Robert is taking out all his hatred of Cersei and Tywin (and maybe Joff) out on this poor kid.
Robert and Ned still best "Friend Duo" in the whole 8 seasons😁
Every scene with him is peak
well Tywin got killed by a dwarf while he was shitting
When Robert was king, that's as good as it gets, all the rest of the kings were bolllllx, he demanded respect from Tywin the second best king, Stannis and his bro knee, sand swipers knee, rose peeps knee, the Starks , the vale, alll of em, bowed to Robert, so maybe he was the king who was promised
Robert had his personal shortcomings but he did much to stabilize the Realm. He won the throne by right of conquest and managed to keep all the great houses from tearing each other apart, which is an achievement in and of itself. Marrying Cersei was probably the greatest political move he ever made but it led to his downfall in the long run. You can only lay in bed with lions for so long before you get mauled.
Robert wasn't a great king, sad as it was, but he was a good man. Every time Dany insulted him in the book as "the usurper", I just gritted my teeth and thought "bite your tongue, princess incest".
You know if roberts firstborn son survived a lot of bad things would have been prevented. Some not all.
“Look who’s talking budget Santa”
Can’t start like this, got me dying.
Asking ser Baristan if he made the eight while he is a kingsguard who can have no bitches is such a roast
The captions are everything 😂
Robert was so awesome, actually felt sad when he died. Laughing until the very end
Arguably one of the best men in the whole show
Always loved the way he says "IVE GOT SEVEN KINGDOMS TO RULE. ONE KING, SEVEN KINGDOMS"
The best moment in the series, especially when he humiliates joffrey
0:18
Actually He Will be King 😂
I love how Ned looks down and up at Robot “ like really? “
Terrible king, lovable dude
Ned and Robert were so funny together😭😭
In the book, Ned's common girl was "Wylla"
Back when the show was truly amazing. It felt like an actual lived in world with real people. Instead of what it turned into, it ended up like a hollywood action movie trying to have the biggest most flashy moments instead of good writing and characters and plot
"Not as bad as Tywin" 💀😂
Robert Baratheon was a drunk idiot but also a Wise king and more respected than any other character in this show. His death was very important for the plot to advance, but I still would have love to see him live longer.
"It's a neat little trick you do, you move your lips and your fathers voice comes out" he wasn't stupid, he could of been a great king.
He wasn't stupid, he stopped caring. He never was a ruler, but he was a great warrior. His drinking, weird laughs and etc. that we see in his behaviour was more of a painkiller and a way of coping in order to keep himself going. There was a great scene that is partly here between him and Cersei, gives a good glimpse at how broken this man is.
"You let the little girl disarm you."
😂😂😂
Mark Addy didn't have the right build to play Robert, but he brings the character to life in a way that's extremely satisfying to watch.
Ned and Rob are warriors, not politicians
“You’ve got fat.” First line he says in the pilot but doesn’t regard that he IS fat.
