In a popular new meme, people changed the face of Gritty – the worthy mascot of the Philadelphia Flyers – to Olenna Tyrell’s face to celebrate President Trump’s expected loss in the 2020 election Following new votes in Pennsylvania, Insider and decision-making headquarters projected on Friday morning that former Vice President Joe Biden would win the presidential race

As the updated vote tally came in late Thursday night and Friday morning, the ‘Game of Thrones’ -Gritty crossover memes began to surface

“I’m an overseas voter so I watch every hour to see the results especially while waiting for that number from Pennsylvania,” Griffiths told Insider. “I always thought Gritty was hilarious and I just knew it would be the perfect hit to combine with this classic moment [‘Game of Thrones’] « 

The original image is from the scene in the seventh season « Game of Thrones » in which Olenna Tyrell confronts Jaime Lannister After defeating her armies and sacking her castle, Jaime told Olenna that she would have a death worthy of him. allowed him to drink a painless poison, and the « Queen of Thorns » swallowed it without hesitation

But before she could feel the effects of the poison, Olenna confessed to Jaime that she orchestrated the assassination of King Joffrey (Jaime and Cersei Lannister’s bastard son)

In the Gritty meme, people replace the Philadelphia mascot instead and caption it: « Tell Donald I want him to know it was me »

Someone once made a poster of the meme, spotted by Buzzfeed News reporter Amber Jamieson

People also used the same format to pay tribute to President-elect Joe Biden’s projected victory to Georgian voters, Stacey Abrams and the USPS
