Joffrey Baratheon/Lannister's Most Evil Moments
StreaminGarage As HBO's "Game of Thrones" begins its second season, the character of Joffrey Baratheon has been coronated as King and holds control over the Iron Throne. Baratheon should really be called "Joffrey Lannister," however, as the mean little bastard is the unfortunate, weasely product of incest between Queen Cersei Lannister and her brother, Jaime.
It isn't easy to rise to the position of "Most Detestable Character on Game of Thrones." We're talking about a show where the pilot episode featured the heroic protagonist executing an innocent man. (Plus, he insisted his wife raise his bastard son conceived by another woman, and kept the only son of his vanquished foe working around the house as a slave. But, hey, he loves wolves, so it's all good!)
Still, Joffrey manages it with a mix of pluck, looking astonishingly like the guy who plays Draco Malfoy, and of course, petulance. He approaches ruling Westeros the way any angry, twisted, in-bred, evil blonde pre-teen who's been trained to be insufferable since the womb would. Go through the list and vote for what YOU think are Joffrey's most deliriously villainous moments from "Game of Thrones" Seasons 1 and 2. Then join us at 8pm PT Sunday for our fan interactive round table discussion right after GOT! Stupid For Game of Thrones: hosted by Sarah Penna and Bob Jennings. And don't forget to subscribe!

Joffrey Has It Out With Cersei
Joffrey, newly coronated, has heard the gossip about the... rather murky circumstances of his birth. So naturally, he goes to his mother, Cersei, with his concerns, and to find out the truth. Because when you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you end up in a slapfight with your adolescent son in a still-under-construction throne room.
Joffrey and Cersei have a tense back-and-forth, in which he taunts his mother with the (perfectly true) rumors about King Robert fathering bastards throughout the kingdom. (When you consider his age, size and the fact that most of his meals were basically hog fat in a goblet, it's pretty amazing King Robert had the endurance to father this many children. No wonder they made him king.) Then she hits him, which may be the first thing she's done in the series to date that wins her points with the viewers at home.
Joffrey notes that his mother's actions are "punishable by death," but actually DOESN'T have her arrested and beheaded. This time. But he hasn't ruled out the whole "fill her full of wine on my next Name Day" plan. Let's play it as it comes.
