Game of Thrones-themed Three-Eyed Raven beer on tap, and there will definitely be an Iron Throne in the bathroom. That’s because bar owner John Giovanazzi received the custom-made toilet courtesy of Super-Fan Builds.

The YouTube show features Hollywood prop makers who build amazing paraphernalia for all sorts of fans of comics, TV shows, video games, and more. In the latest episode, the team from Tim Baker Creations got to work on a throne fit for a drunken king. There were a few things they needed to take into consideration, mostly having to do with the toilet’s location in a bar.

Since even a novice swordfighter like Arya Stark knows you stick ‘em with the pointy end, Baker decided to keep the sharper swords away from any sensitive anatomy. Also, because intoxicated patrons would be among those using the commode, Baker used marine-grade resin to coat the plywood and plastic swords and base. “If it can protect against the ocean seawater, I think you’ll be safe with whatever else happens in here,” he told the bar owner. The throne boasts over 200 swords, sculpted to look like individual weapons fused together with dragon fire. There’s even a toilet paper holder.

This isn’t the first toilet that’s appeared on Super-Fan Builds. In Season 1, Baker made a “Hobbit Hole” litter box for a couple of cats (who happened to be named Sam and Frodo), complete with a Tower of Sauron scratching post.

The show isn’t just for fancy toilets, though. The show’s prop makers have also created a Batmobile baby stroller, a Groot swing set, and a BioShock fish tank. Please tell us where we can sign up to get a Harry Potter flying car.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem is missing the one thing that made Game of Thrones great

Ye Wenjie sits in front of a radio dish controller in 3 Body Problem.

Netflix's 3 Body Problem isn't just the streaming service's long-awaited adaptation of the acclaimed Chinese science fiction novel of the same name by Liu Cixin. It's also Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' follow-up to their HBO smash hit. In many ways, the Netflix series, which Benioff and Weiss co-created with Alexander Woo, is a worthy successor to a show like Thrones. Like that game-changing HBO drama, it's an adaptation of the kind of famously complex source material that many understandably believed to be unadaptable.

To Benioff, Weiss, and Woo's credit, they prove that's not true across 3 Body Problem's debut eight-episode season. Together, the trio and their collaborators successfully streamline the science-driven narrative of Cixin's original novel, turning it into an episodic story that is both easily digestible and propulsive. While 3 Body Problem gets a lot right, though, it's missing the one thing that made Game of Thrones such a beloved show in the first place. To put it frankly, its characters just aren't all that memorable.

The best Game of Thrones seasons, ranked

HBO has multiple incredible shows. After all, as the cable network's slogan goes, it's not television, it's HBO. However, few of the network's originals can compare to the juggernaut that was Game of Thrones. Developed by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss and based on George R. R. Martin's literary saga A Song of Ice and Fire, the show followed multiple feuding noble families struggling to sit on the Iron Throne and rule over the war-torn continent of Westeros.

At its peak, Game of Thrones was the biggest show on Earth, dominating award shows and scoring HBO the biggest ratings in its history. Across eight seasons and 73 episodes, the show shocked, scandalized, and thrilled audiences worldwide, cementing its place among television's greatest achievements. However, even its most devoted fans can't say it remained consistent throughout. Indeed, while some seasons were positively masterful, others were outright embarrassing, proving that when you play the game of thrones, there truly is no middle ground.

7 most underrated Game of Thrones episodes ever

A woman stands across from a man in Game of Thrones.

Can you believe it's been four years since Game of Thrones concluded its legendary run? While we won't speak about the final season, Game of Thrones remains one of television's most successful shows, with a record 59 Primetime Emmy Awards. Game of Thrones was a "can't-miss" television show, meaning the audience had to tune into the live airing of an episode or risk seeing spoilers on the internet. In the social media age of television, it's rare for a show to have as much power and influence on pop culture as it did.

A select group is unequivocally regarded as the best episodes of Game of Thrones, including Blackwater, Hardhome, The Rains of Castamere (more commonly known as The Red Wedding episode), and The Winds of Winter. For this list, however, we selected the seven most underrated Game of Thrones episodes ever.
