The quest for the Iron Throne is no joke, but that doesn’t make the “Game of Thrones” set a stone-cold affair. HBO has released a two-minute reel of bloopers from the show’s sprawling ensemble cast to delight fans who are already pining for next summer when the series’ delayed (and shorter) seventh season will be released. The video premiered during the show panel at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend and has alreay garnered over 3 million views.

Watching Tyrion’s inability to pronounce “benevolent” correctly, juxtaposed with the show’s gravitas, makes for hilarious moments from Peter Dinklage, as well as Rory McCann as the Hound, Sophie Turner as Sansa, Emmy nominees Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington as Daenerys and Jon Snow, respectively, Alfie Allen as Theon, and others. (Sorry—no Lena Headey, folks). It’s reassuring to know even Emmy winners can fumble on set.
