To be honest, we prefer Ned Stark as a failed archery coach that has a drinking problem and hates his family…

Whenever JOE thinks of Australian TV we’re instantly reminded of the countless hungover hours that we spent on the couch watching Home and Away or Neighbours.

Why did we do this? Honestly, we were far too lazy to get up and look for the remote.

The experience did teach us a few things about what to expect from soap operas though. Cheesy acting, unbelievably stupid plots and the occasional hilarious foul mouthed character that losses his sanity are all to be expected.

No wait that’s not right, the former character description belongs more in the realms of Game of Thrones.

Happy days then because this brilliant reimagining of the pilot episode of the HBO series as an Australian soap opera is absolutely perfect and wildly inappropriate also.

In just over four minutes, this clip probably manages to work in more cursing than every single member of the Night’s Watch did in the shows first four seasons combined.

Take a look.
