‘SNL’ spoofs ‘House of the Dragon’ with insane names and plot twists

Since House of the Dragon is back on hiatus, Saturday Night Live is stepping in to fill the fantasy void… by gleefully making fun of the Game of Thrones spinoff.

A cut-for-time sketch from SNL‘s 50th season premiere features a group of friends — Heidi Gardner, Andrew Dismukes, Devon Walker, and Jane Wickline — getting comfy on the couch just in time for the return of their favorite saga about a family of backstabbers grasping at power: Blonde Dragon People.

“It was starting to get so good right at the end of season 1,” says SNL newcomer Wickline. The only problem is that the break between seasons was so long that the friends can’t actually remember where the plot left off.

Naturally, they turn to the season recap for help… and that’s when things get weird.

“Dorgos, I see you learned nothing from the battle at Agramos,” says Chloe Fineman, playing one of the titular Blonde Dragon People.

“Well that’s curious coming from you, Dormos,” replies fellow blond wig-wearer Kenan Thopmson. “I’ve just come from Eracos, where Dargamos is assembling the armies of Westfelia and South Westernos. Your reign will soon come to an end. I swear it by Dorgon.”

Much to the confusion of the couch friends, the show continues along those lines — with the names getting more similar to each other and the characters making less sense by the minute. When SNL host Jean Smart pops up to claim the “metal chair of spiky knives” by “the right of dragonseeds,” the group starts to lose it.

“Why does every person and city have the same weird name?” asks an exasperated Gardner, and Dismukes agrees, replying, “Even in Game of Thrones they gave us one guy named Jon.”

Moments later, the series gets even weirder when Andy Samberg and Jelly Roll appear in their own blond wigs as characters who seem a little out of place.

“A red sun rises,” says Samberg ominously. “Blood has been spilt this night. It is I… Legolas. And we have come to free Aragorn from the clutches of Sarumon before he’s dragged into the fires of Mordor.”

Then, the fourth wall crumbles as the Blonde Dragon People express their own confusion, pointing out that The Lord of the Rings is an entirely different property.

“This is the House of… Game of… the Dragon or whatever,” says Smart, prompting a lively discussion about which of the many streaming services now hosts the show. And that, somehow, concludes season 2 of Blonde Dragon People.
