Cersei Lannister: 5 Reasons Not To Invite Her To Dinner

Cersei Lannister is arguably the one woman in HBO’s Game of Thrones that people love to hate the most. While Seth Meyers recently pointed out why Jon Snow would be bad at a dinner party, Cersei would certainly be a worse choice — and here’s why:

Cersei Drinks — A Lot

It seems the decision making process for Cersei Lannister revolves around taking about the problem and swilling wine until she comes to a decision. Imagine asking her if she would like the chicken or the fish? Of course, if you ask the Game of Thrones cast, they would be happy to drink with her, so go figure!

Cersei Swears Like A Sailor

While any polite dinner party might allow the occasional “darn” or “damn it,” it is probably not acceptable to drop the F-bombs and C-bombs that Cersei Lannister does. She even uses a potty mouth around her son.

“Yes, she’s very beautiful, and young… and if you don’t like her, you only need to see her on formal occasions, and when the time comes, to make little princes and princesses… and if you’d rather f*ck painted whores, you’ll f*ck painted whores. And if you’d rather lie with noble virgins, so be it. You are my darling boy, and the world will be exactly as you want it to be.”

Her Comments Are More Cutting Than Any Knife On The Table

The internet is filled with Cersei quotes that are clever and cutting and sometimes just downright humiliating. Here are just a few to give you some sort of idea as to how cutting Cersei Lannister can be.

Ned Stark: I was also trained to kill my enemies, your grace.
Cersei Lannister: As was I.

Robert Baratheon (Cersei’s husband): How long can hate hold a thing together?
Cersei Lannister: Well, 17 years is a long time [Cersei is referring to how long they have been married]

And if that isn’t enough to scare you, if words fail her, Cersei Lannister will slap you.

You Can’t Ask Her About The Father Of Her Children

You know how every family has a skeleton in their closet? Well Cersei Lannister not only has a skeleton, she has her brother and their three children in there! While most twins share a special connection, Cersei and Jaime took that theory and had sex while thinking about it. After Cersei bore Jaime an incestuous child, they still went back for more, producing three offspring in total that can call Jaime both their uncle and their father.

If Someone Disagrees With Her, Cersei Can Kill You

Margaery, luckily, got a warning from Cersei Lannister — others are not so lucky.

“If you ever call me sister again I’ll have you strangled in your sleep.”

And then there was that one time Lord Baelish discovered Cersei Lannister held more power than him.

“Seize him. Cut his throat. Wait! I’ve changed my mind. Let him go.”

And if all that isn’t enough to make you think twice about inviting Cersei Lannister to your dinner party over Jon Snow, here’s what happened when Jimmy Kimmel sat down for a drink with Cersei.
