HBO's adaptation of Game of Thrones has long forgotten about the eighth kingdom of Westeros: South Centros.

During this week's Saturday Night Live, fans were introduced to a kingdom that seems strangely similar to South Central Los Angeles from John Singleton’s 1991 film Boyz n the Hood. In South Centros, people die for "no damn reason," and Ice Cube (played by SNL cast member Kenan Thompson) is vying for the Iron Throne.

And yes, that was actually Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) on a horse reminding you, "Don't hate the slayer, hate the game."
