In an absurd YouTube video, Nick Douglas attempts to complete a Game of Thrones summary of the entire book series in 2 minutes. He fails miserably.
In an awkwardly hilarious upload to the Slacktory channel, Douglas tries to explain all five books in the fantasy series penned by George R.R. Martin. A Song of Ice and Fire inspired the hit television show on HBO, which was recently nominated for multiple Emmy awards. Douglas not only fails to recap the series in 2 minutes, he also falls short of giving a comprehensible Game of Thrones summary. With an enormous amount of information for each book, Douglas struggles to find the most important parts, trips over his words and curses often. For example, he fails to mention the Wall until Book 4.
