In the entire series of Game of Thrones, there are few characters as good as Samwell Tarly. From his very first appearance on screen, he has consistently shown that he, unlike so many other characters, truly does seem to have the well-being of the realm—and his friends—at heart.

Is it any wonder that he’s become something of a fan favorite, the one person that is admirable? At the same time, he’s also a figure of fun and humor, and the internet has had a field day creating hilarious memes focused on Sam and his exploits in Westeros.

10 Dany Vs. Sam

One of the reasons that it’s easy to underestimate Sam is that he seems so subdued compared to characters such as Dany. Here, we see a list of their relative accomplishments. It’s worth pointing out that Dany, despite her narrative importance, is mostly famous for the titles that she has been given as a result of her birth. Sam, on the other hand, has done quite a lot for the betterment of the kingdom, to say nothing of the fact that he has slain a White Walker.

Oh, and did we mention that he’s in love with a wildling?

9 Sam Really Is The MVP

The internet has been very good at highlighting and itemizing each and every thing that Samwell has done throughout his appearances on Game of Thrones. In this instance, we see the ways in which he has not only radically reshaped the fate of nations—by discovering how to slay White Walkers—but also saved individual characters from almost certain death. What’s more, this meme highlights one of the essential messages about Game of Thrones: that even the most seemingly insignificant characters can have effects that change the fate of the world.

8 Sam Vs. Sam

In the annals of epic fantasy, it seems like Sam is the name that you give a character who manages to fly under the radar, before coming out and saving the day at the last minute. Of course, the difference between Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones stems, in part, from the fact that the former is a straightforward epic, while the latter is, to some degree, devoted to undermining what we’ve come to expect from epic. Seeing the juxtaposition of expectation vs. reality mapped onto these two expressions of the epic is the height of hilarity.

7 The Madness Of Dany

In all of the atrocities that have taken place during the course of Game of Thrones, it’s sometimes easy to lose track of who all has been executed. Even in the midst of all the carnage, however, it’s hard to forget that Dany was responsible for the horrifying burning of Sam’s father and brother when they refused to bend the knee to her. In this meme, we see Dany’s capriciousness and cruelty humorously juxtaposed to the selfless Sam who, above all other things, really does prioritize helping others rather than killing them.

6 Dany Vs. Sam

Lest you think that Sam is willing to just lie down and accept the fact that Dany was responsible for the death of his father and brother, this meme points out that that is very far from the truth. Not content with just getting a bit of revenge on the woman who stole his family, Sam sets out to destroy all that Dany has sought for so long to build.

As with so many of the other memes on this list, this meme points out how important the small or meek are, and how easily they can bring down the mightiest monarchs.

5 Sam Vs. Sam (Round Two)

The internet seems more than a little obsessed with juxtaposing Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, and it’s usually pretty clear that the latter comes out the loser in those comparisons. In this case, we see yet another comparison between Samwise and Samwell. Unfortunately, our second-favorite member of the Night’s Watch is unfavorably compared to his hobbit predecessor.

Though it is, admittedly, a very funny meme, it gives Samwell far too little credit. He might not have had to face the temptation of the One Ring, but he did have to face down the White Walkers.

4 Futurama, Meet Game of Thrones

This meme is the Futurama and Game of Thrones mashup that you didn’t know that you wanted. There’s no doubt that Professor Farnsworth, with his deadpan delivery, can be quite hilarious, and in this case, we see Sam confronting the tragic death of both his father and his brother at the hands of the ruthless Dany and her dragon Drogon. In this case, the meme manages to effortlessly weave together both the tragic and the humorous, making one of the most horrifying deaths in a series full of such deaths almost funny.

3 The Horror!

Sometimes, you have to wonder just what goes through the minds of the great wizzes of the internet, and the creation of the face-swap is one of those things that really makes you wonder whether the internet was all a mistake. And truly, can there be anything more horrifying than seeing the face of Samwell, that genial and splendid member of the Night’s Watch, transposed onto the body of Sansa, one of the most tragic (and steely) members of House Stark? As they say, what is seen cannot be unseen (you’re welcome).

2 I’ll Make A Man Out Of You

Game of Thrones explores many of the most important issues of our time: the nature of power, the operation of politics, the interaction between the great and the small. It is also about masculinity, and this meme points out that, of all of the male characters, Sam performs a very nonnormative masculinity. However, all it would take would be a few minor adjustments (okay, some of them might be more on the major side), to turn him into a professional wrestler. Sam the Slayer might actually live up to his name.

1 Game Of Star Wars

The internet does many things well, and one of the things that it does well is the mashup. And what better mashup could there be than Game of Thrones with Star Wars? And, furthermore, what better mashup could there be than the seemingly innocent Sam with the cunning and ruthless Darth Sidious/Emperor Palpatine? Indeed, though Sam seems all innocent on the surface, who’s to say that distracting everyone wasn’t just part of his elaborate scheme to make sure that he got to spend lots of quality time with Gilly?
