‘Game of Thrones’ Parody Imagines Michael Cera as King Joffrey (Video)

What if Zooey Deschanel was Daenerys Targaryen and Aubrey Plaza played Jon Snow's wild love, Ygritte?

An animated "Game of Thrones" parody proves King Joffrey would be a lot more likeable if played by Michael Cera, but the show wouldn't be all that dramatic.

Plaza, as anybody familiar with her character on "Parks and Rec" would expect, does a lot of complaining as she climbs The Wall with Jon Snow.

Here's the alternate animated universe to "GoT" creator George R.R. Martin's vision:
