Super Bowl 2019: The Mountain from Game of Thrones destroys the Bud Knight
Is this the Game of Thrones Super Bowl commercial you were hoping for?
The Bud Knight has met an untimely demise.
As part of a crossover commercial between
HBO
and world's largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, The Mountain -- one of
Game of Thrones
most menacing baddies -- has ended the blue, beer mascot after an unfortunate jousting incident. The commercial aired during Sunday's Super Bowl , and can be seen, in full, below:
How does the Bud Knight fit into the Game of Thrones canon ? We're not sure. Or does The Mountain fit into the AB InBev Cinematic Universe? We aren't really sure on that, either.
However, the Wall Street Journal reports that AB InBev let HBO hijack their promo spot with the crossover, with the brewing company paying for the airtime and HBO going all in on production costs.
Game of Thrones fans might not have to wait long for a full trailer -- many hope that we might get an extended look at the show's final season during the game.
Brace yourselves.
