Not Literally -- a performing group famous for their "Doctor Who" and "Harry Potter" music and comedy sketches -- just released their brand spankin' new "Game of Thrones" parody, and it is brutal(ly awesome). Based on Gotye's single "Somebody I Used to Know" and the tears of every fangirl EVERYWHERE, performers Ginny and Dana reenact all the major character deaths in "Game of Thrones" Season 1:

Not only is the video well-produced and funny (with lines like "but you didn't have to kill them off...I went through a whole tissue box", how can you not giggle?), but Not Literally gets serious cred for articulating exactly what it feels like to be a "Game of Thrones" fan. If a small woman in a full beard-and-wig getup can tell George R. R. Martin that he's sadistic bastard with stone-cold sober face, you know you're doing something right.

Not Literally is also responsible for a number of "Harry Potter" music videos and sketches, a "Doctor Who" parody, and a "Rocky Horror" video complete with Muppets, all of which retain the same serious(ly silly) commitment to fan culture.
