Nothing will ever truly fill the void left in Game of Thrones fans’ hearts by loveable giant Hodor, but at least we’ve got depressing jokes to get us through.
Many fans are still mourning his loss, but the actor who portrayed him, Kristian Nairn, is eating up the spotlight. “Thanks to Kristian ‘Hodor” Nairn for being such a legend!’.

In the amusing clip, YouTube user Turps yells for the lift door to be held, only to find himself face-to-face with bearded icon Hodor himself. However, across the internet, various memes have quickly spread the story of Hodor’s demise, including many from big companies, including Amazon and Ikea.
The idea of this device existing in Game of Thrones has been around for some time now, but this episode has moved it beyond tinfoil theories and into the realms of reality, and at the heart of it all is Bran Stark. That’s a necessary evil as the show winnows down the contenders for the Iron Throne.
