Q: "Why should I give you this job?" Wrong Answer: "I need a good job." Correct Answer : "My skills and experience will make your company more profitable."
Tyrion is a perfect example of someone who NEVER forgets the purpose of his interactions with others. Add to this his excellent speaking ability and it’s no surprise that so often he’s able to escape tricky situations. With many characters in GoT being complete slaves to their emotions, Tyrion almost always keeps calm and remembers what’s really important.
Yea, I wouldn't want to meet Tyrion. Not because he's powerful, a midget, and very witty with really, really great looking hair. It's because he could motivate me to buy literal horse shit from him and I would be grateful for the sale. No thanks.
I don't know, I think he would make for a great drinking buddy as long as you do him no wrong. He doesn't seem the kind of guy to fuck with people as long as people don't try fuck with him in the first place.
Tywin, Olenna, Tyrion, Baelish, and Varys... masters. These are the best characters on the show and only 2 remain.... in favor of a boring cliche hero in Jon Snow
Alejandro Bello YEP 👍🏽! Most of the gd guys don’t have that intelligent sharp, witty, articulate, humorous personality.. it had to be Tyrion, one from amongst the Lannister. Kind, caring & ballsy..
Tywin is not smart enough to up there with others ... , especially when compare with sombody going from nothing like Varys and Baelish .. He is lucky enough to born as a boy in a great House , and have brutal and ambitious to become a great leader ...
About Lommy, you don't say enough for what he's doing! 1st mistake, when he was yelling for help, he didn't say please. 2nd mistake. When he was asked, Is something wrong with your leg boy? He answered. LOOK AT IT. He was RUDE! instead of saying something like, I got injured with an arrow and I can't walk. And 3rd mistake, When he was asked, can't you walk? He answered. START CARRY ME. HE GAVE A COMMAND! Instead of saying, if you take care of me, I will be in your debt. You give FIRST, then you ask!
Backup for if money does not work: I am connected in the next town over. All I ask is to be taken there. Food, women, gold. I'll pay whatever you desire. (Sure, it may be a bluff. But that bluff buys you at least a few more minutes of life. Plus if you come across the right opportunity you can make an escape later.)
Tyrion lannister became my favourite since first season when Jon snow asked him "why do you read so much?" and he replied " a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its adge.. So does a mind needs books". Often in the show he is shown to study books which I have rarely seen other characters do. So since that season I knew this little one is going to last till the end whatever that may be. Also he is the only one from the aristocracy to have visited the wall out of sheer curiosity.
He would have outlived all these principal characters who are ruled by their emotions, base desires, and pride/aggression. Smarts for the win. Such an actor, such a voice. The best protagonist of ancient middle earth or something.

Yes, he can, but i like the fact that he can get what he wants, and not kill anybody. That's why i like him. He's smart.

He finds out what other people want and uses that to his advantage. Right or wrong, he knows how to play the GAME OF THRONES.
They probably are more intelligent, however, Tyrion always finds his way out of impossible situations, that's why i like him. Not saying he's the most intelligent, but he is smart as all get out... :) Littlefinger scares me. I think he's up to no good. The Spider, LOL Nuff said.. He is pure genius.

I love Tyrion for one reason. He proves something I've always said. "Knowledge IS NOT Power... only the APPLICATION of Knowledge is Power." Knowledge is merely a tool... and better to have a tool than not... but a Hammer sitting unused on a desk doesn't build a house. You have to APPLY that tool. Tyrion applies his constantly gained Knowledge.
Bradley Kell During a brief flirtation with Business Studies, we looked at the Information Society, and a theorist argued for a hierarchy with data at the bottom, then information, then knowledge, and at the top is wisdom. I think Tyrion has this model down pat, because he is never content to assume anything and his drinking allows others who don't know him well enough to underestimate his intellectual and emotional intelligence.

His "crippled" and "lesser" form make everyone think he has no power, and the fact that he's always in positions where he has none basically makes this a running theme.

Yeah but another important thing is that Tyrion is a Lannister so people generally believe him when he says he'll give them money. I can't just walk around town saying I will give money to everyone I want to manipulate.
MsWrongPerson You're sort of missing the point here. The fact that Tyrion is a Lanister and that so many people know it is only an added bonus. The real trick is knowing what people want an what is within your power to give it to them. Take for instance, you're a bout to get mugged. In that instance, it quite obvious that the mugger wants your money, and could possibly take your life for it. What you should consider is why the person wants that money. It could be for food, drugs, anything. Imagine you don't have that money, and in his volatile state the mugger might harm you or worse out of anger, fear or frustration. Consider what you do have to give him whose loss may or may not be of consequence to you, but will achieve a similar goal for him. ( Like for instance, a snack or something which might not have been planning to eat, and was looking for a way to dispense of).

It's been 30 years since I finished a 12-year stint as a US Army interrogator/linguist/humint collection, primarily in S Korea. This young man's observations and strategies have been very impressive so far. Since it's been so long and as I start to write more fiction, these summarized keys on how to "communicate" with other people are priceless reminders along with maybe a new idea or two. I use communication in quotes because I believe the word encompasses so much more than tone, body language, syntax, and other readily acknowledged nuances. Communication strategies that are portrayed so well here are an underappreciated art/aesthetic. Did I use "aesthetic" right? I don't think so. Figuring out what motivates others, applying appropriated incentive in that direction to align with your goals will always be a winning strategy--that doesn't always win. lol, nothing does Thanks again, good stuff

Tywin was the most brilliant player, perhaps only superior to Tyrion by experience, but you should note Olenna Tyrell very much held her own against Tywin, that makes her the remaining major player of intelligence. Tywin was cunning but Olenna is cynical, Tywin fell because he was ruthless towards people who were close enough to put an arrow in him while taking a dump, Olenna isn't that over confident nor cruel, she is a real force to be reckoned with.
@@TheIronyoshi I think so we should also see how genius Little finger is.....ya he is cruel and selfish but he is a rags to riches person surely a role model for us.
+Kalihman “ThEitan” Eitan Iirc correctly rr martin has talked about not having a computer connected to the internet, so as long as people don't directly tell him Tyrion should be fine.
To be fair, it's easy to play the 'I'll give you what you want' card, when you're part of the ruling & richest family in the world and literally have all the things most people want. On a side note, Tyrion always was and still is my favourite character in this show. Even despite the writers butchering his character, along with everything else in the last seasons.
Agree but i think the writers butchered everyone’s ending lol 😂. From amazing series and to “this is my favourite” to what the f*** and sh**😅 after the last season.
More Tyrion, good vids, game of thrones topics are the best especially with the premier coming very soon. You will get a lot more views and we enjoy them. Win-win.
Fascinating. I've always loved Tyrion as a character, and it's been really interesting to look back over his story and dialogue after watching this video.
Tyrion revealed he studied his halfwit cousin to discover what his reason was for crushing beetles. Tyrion knew what he wanted, to crush beetles... But he wanted to know why. If you study hodor you can figure out one of his biggest desires is simply to be safe. With his size you can wonder why... And I don't know the real answer and without him having the ability to talk we may never know. But I suspect this is subject to change if bran takes control of him more often in future seasons. He saw that he killed a man already. This type of thing can lead to him feeling more secure and probably lead him to finding a different desire. Tyrion would have no interest in hodor most likely. He's just scared and wants to be protected. But if he did decide to find out more about him he'd probably start by asking hodor simple questions and looking at his facial expressions for answers. He'd attempt to find out who hodor has known the longest and then ask them about hodors story
+SuperiorSeven I agree... but take a look at my post.... I talk about Petyr Baelish in it... I dont believe he has a big enough roll in the show to do a huge video on him.. But I do believe he would be on top if Tyrion and him had to go head to head in The Game Of Thrones.
+Casey P (*spoiler alert) You dont believe he had enough role to put in the show? He is the mastermind of almost all of the major things happened since season 1! Ned killed, why? Because Littlefinger betrayed him. Jeoffrey (sorry if I misspell it) died, why? Littlefinger had huge role in it. Lady Arryn died, why? Littlefinger killed her. Sansa ended up married to Ramsay Bolton, why? Because Littlefinger arranged it and convinced Sansa to agree to it. And so on, and so forth.
If possible, it would be interesting to do a run of the characters who have been killed, and pointing out their mistakes that led to their death when interacting with people
More Tyrion ! The writer/s of GOT surely must have a deep understanding of human psychology and power plays. Your breakdowns are worth gold, land and women !
There's a scene before the tyrion's trial by combat with the mountain and the viper when tyrion is talking to Jamie about his cousin the beetle smasher..he's explaining how he tried so hard to get to the bottom of why he was smashing beetles, wut he got out of it, how he became obsessed with his reasoning behind his actions..woulda been a good clip to show..definitely aligns with this video
The monologue Peter gives in that scene is brilliantly done. It was such a simple story he told, but the way he told it was just brilliant... His delivery kept me hooked.
Not bad, although some of these are fairly obvious. Further to this, I would add that Tyrion's genius is that he can do all this whilst under pressure for his life. Although that may have been a situation that he's been in many times in his life. We forget that Tyrion has grown up in a powerful situation with powerful people with every disadvantage, i.e. that he's been training for this all his life and if he didn't have those skills, he'd already been dead.
I work in sales and you can really tell a good sales person when they ask "what do you want?", instead of just telling people why they should buy their product without first asking the question. Tyrion would be good at Sales.
I love Tyrion so very much #PeterDinklage #GameOfThrones ; A quote specially dedicated to the Great Little Lord #PeterDinklage " There is a great man who makes everyone feel small but the real great man is the one who makes every man feel great " That great man is you Tyrion Lannister ; Great fan of Peter Dinklage . Must say the content is so wonderfully elucidated .
Mindblindness is NOT selfishness. Being egocentric in varying degrees is part of human nature since we are alone in our own minds. And unselfishness is an unproven hypothesis, whereas selfishness in varying forms of seeking profit is what ALL life seeks. Other than that,great video. :)
7:50 In the books the issue wasn´t the jailer didn´t understand but more how he is distrustful of Tyrion because he was lied before. So he made Tyrion to write down a document saying he owes gold to him, and it worked. Tyrion had his freedom and the jailer has his the gold. 8:40 Nah, he knew what Bronn´s like. He already had a castle, lands, titles, even a wife (which by the way she was way different compared with the books version except of her intelligence), and knows very well he can´t defeat the Montain. So he wasn´t surprised when Bronn said no to be Tyrion´s champion again, specially when he doesn´t have nothing offer. He is a sellsword after all.
+Mjoll It wasn't. Of course he refers to his other work in the end, that's what you can find in all good videos on personal development. It's an entrepreneur way to think, which is something all people advanced in personal development share.
You should do one on Jack Sparrow. He is always encouraging people to chase their goals so that his goals are met as well, often without them even realising how they are helping him (he uses Will to help him escape jail, steal a ship, and find a crew by convincing him that it's the only way to save Elizabeth, but not only that - he also plans to get 1) Elizabeth's medallion and 2) Will Turner's blood together at the location of the curse AND 3) the pirates who stole his ship, so that he can make a deal with all three to get his ship back, all without any of them knowing that that was his plan all along).
I’m a cop. When we have new people in training and they get stuck, we tell them to ask “What would you like me to do?” If what they ask is legal and moral, then do it. If it’s not, explain why. That satisfies most people. It either gives them what they want or helps them set realistic expectations
I LOVE how not only you explain the characters to us, especially those that are hard to understand, but you also lesson us on phycology, mental survival and life in general, teaching us on characters mistakes while explaining how the human heart reacts to different situations. Love your videos
I dont know about that. He does try to actually follow through on his promises whenever he is able to. You cant just make idle promises without ever coming through with them. Reputation does matter.
He is a survivor, but I would not consider Tyrion a sociopath. When season 1 began, he came off as a total debauched drunkard. Later, when you hear his backstory, we find out he was actually a sensitive man who became a cynic after the incident with Jaime, his father, and his first wife.
I have to disagree. If you think Tyrion is a sociopath then you have never met a sociopath in your life. Sociopaths are incredibly manipulative and also charismatic, they have personality traits similar to psychopaths. Tyrion is not a sociopath, more a diplomat. He uses persuasive techniques to convince people.
I would like to point out one flaw in your reasoning on how Tyrion's ways to succes could be used in every day situations: Tyrion has the huge advantage of being in a position (wealth and power) to be able to (almost) always actually meet the other person's demands/needs, while most people IRL do not. In Bronn's example (asking a friend to do something) most people wouldn't be able to capitalize on the options of money or land even if they figured out that's what their friend would want most. So missing in your analysis is that in order for the '3 tools' to actually work, you need a 4th tool: capital. Capital can be everything: political (land), economical (gold), social (friendship), pressure (pride), etc. Without this fourth one, the first three tools wouldn't work.
Close but I would say that capital is rather restrictive. That 4th tool should be resources(money, connections, stuff etc) or skills that you have which can get them closer to their goal.

Be polite
Be efficient
Be prepared to kill everyone you meet
Rule number 1: you gotta be quick
Rule number 2: don't fall down
and rule number 3: whatever you do, DON'T LOOK BACK
Please more Tyrion breakdowns...
It's way more interesting than watching season 8.
Andre Emanuel trueeee
Andre Emanuel but yet again everything is more interesting than season 8 xd
Agreed
*Why Tyrion Can’t Be Killed*
Me: Because he’s played by Peter Dinklage
I'm about as stupid as the jailor.
You can construct better sentences than him... that's a start
Jon Snow [Targaryen] [DAKINGINDANORF]
Lowkey *sentence* pun. Love it.
your name is date mike but your profile picture is prison mike
The worst part about prison was the dementors
I like you because of the legend in your profile picture
Tyrion to drogon:what do you want?
Drogon: yes
you! *chomp*
Very well said drogon
It's been 30 years since I finished a 12-year stint as a US Army interrogator/linguist/humint collection, primarily in S Korea. This young man's observations and strategies have been very impressive so far.
Since it's been so long and as I start to write more fiction, these summarized keys on how to "communicate" with other people are priceless reminders along with maybe a new idea or two. I use communication in quotes because I believe the word encompasses so much more than tone, body language, syntax, and other readily acknowledged nuances. Communication strategies that are portrayed so well here are an underappreciated art/aesthetic. Did I use "aesthetic" right? I don't think so.
Figuring out what motivates others, applying appropriated incentive in that direction to align with your goals will always be a winning strategy--that doesn't always win. lol, nothing does
Thanks again, good stuff
So ESL Arabs get the content & context comparison...coming from a grunt & groan perspective is quite perplexing...does that sound the same while water boarding too... gargled speech always befuddled me...what did you say honey? Okay I gotta go the higher ups calling me to duty...yes I took the red pill today!
Perhaps you should make a video or at least finish the book you started here.
Hey Dave. Rarely do I meet another 97e. Small community. Small world. In enlisted in 06. Been in since then. Was also I South Korea. Amazing assignment. Hope you are doing well.
@@robertschwartz2915 never in my life have I been this bamboozled trying to understand the content of your words, did the old lady eat a fish, perhaps but who is to say if she hadn't keep in mind our dear leader sir Jones Kim the third may she rest in piss.
@@sire1169 sire " what do you want?"
Tywin was the most brilliant player, perhaps only superior to Tyrion by experience, but you should note Olenna Tyrell very much held her own against Tywin, that makes her the remaining major player of intelligence. Tywin was cunning but Olenna is cynical, Tywin fell because he was ruthless towards people who were close enough to put an arrow in him while taking a dump, Olenna isn't that over confident nor cruel, she is a real force to be reckoned with.
Ray Butler If she was the best she wouldnt have died
Well Tyrion has been lucky as well as smart. It's not really fair to say Olenna wouldn't be dead if she was the best.
It’s Tyrion’s failed war strategy that got her killed, he underestimated his brother.
Tywin's and Olenna's style only apply if you're in a position of power/influence tho
@@TheIronyoshi I think so we should also see how genius Little finger is.....ya he is cruel and selfish but he is a rags to riches person surely a role model for us.
i cannot get enough o tyrion so go ahead and make more
:O
I know, same here.
+curaxu Curaxu I'm a fan! Hi!
Owen Bollard hello fan!
+Cubic Complex Woah what are you guys doing here! :D
loved the video!
although the title of this video had already killed tyrion, because r.r.martin just watched this and accepted the challenge.
+Kalihman “ThEitan” Eitan I sincerely hope not! I think Tyrion is safe until at least book 7
Charisma on Command Me too, he's a favorite of mine, and you do a great analysis of his charecter! ;)
+Charisma on Command so he's safe until 2045 at the least.
+Kalihman “ThEitan” Eitan Iirc correctly rr martin has talked about not having a computer connected to the internet, so as long as people don't directly tell him Tyrion should be fine.
+Charisma on Command Well then he is safe forever. That prick R.R Martin is taking the piss with his constant delays with each instalment.
“Don’t be like lommy”
-Charisma on command
Wtf’s a Lommy 😐
"Anyone can be killed."
- Arya Stark to Tywin Lannister
Then she can't be killed. Cause she's no one
I never liked Arya Stark character most BS character on the show!
No one:
The Hound: What the fak is a *Lommy!!*
Every time he says in the video "don't be like Lommy" I hear in the hounds voice "What the Fuck's a Lommy"

"Tyrion is a genius"
This didn't age well...
Philip Bellingham the show didn’t age well , I think
Tyrion is a genius the season 8 show writers are morons
@wearealltubes are you being serious? Or sarcastic. I can't tell. And I'm concerned.
@wearealltubes well said
Nope forget season 8...he stopped being smart after he became hand of Queen of khalessi
Stellar observations and please continue your coverage of these "power plays".
well, in season 8 he survived only because the writing died.
😂 savage and true!
the writing died in season 5 lol.
To be fair, it's easy to play the 'I'll give you what you want' card, when you're part of the ruling & richest family in the world and literally have all the things most people want.
On a side note, Tyrion always was and still is my favourite character in this show. Even despite the writers butchering his character, along with everything else in the last seasons.
Agree but i think the writers butchered everyone’s ending lol 😂. From amazing series and to “this is my favourite” to what the f*** and sh**😅 after the last season.
1. Don't apologize for long videos. Your videos are amazing.
2. Game of Thrones is a-ok with me
More Tyrion, good vids, game of thrones topics are the best especially with the premier coming very soon. You will get a lot more views and we enjoy them. Win-win.
ikr!!!
You where really listening to that video weren't you
quick learner
Fascinating. I've always loved Tyrion as a character, and it's been really interesting to look back over his story and dialogue after watching this video.
Glad you like it, thanks!
But what does Hodor want?
+Gary Stump Sr. Hodor
HODOR
HHHHHOOOOOOODDDDDDOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRR!
Tyrion revealed he studied his halfwit cousin to discover what his reason was for crushing beetles. Tyrion knew what he wanted, to crush beetles... But he wanted to know why. If you study hodor you can figure out one of his biggest desires is simply to be safe. With his size you can wonder why... And I don't know the real answer and without him having the ability to talk we may never know. But I suspect this is subject to change if bran takes control of him more often in future seasons. He saw that he killed a man already. This type of thing can lead to him feeling more secure and probably lead him to finding a different desire.
Tyrion would have no interest in hodor most likely. He's just scared and wants to be protected. But if he did decide to find out more about him he'd probably start by asking hodor simple questions and looking at his facial expressions for answers. He'd attempt to find out who hodor has known the longest and then ask them about hodors story
+Shane Dobson Hodor hodor hodor?
[Speech 98/100] "Kill the Mountain for me Bronn"
Would be genuinely interested in your personal insight on Hitler and the way he displayed himself in the presence of others.

+The Devil Himself Im a jew and and I'm greed as fuck and don't give a shit
Do a video on Littlefinger.
And then one on the powerful Tywin Lannister.
Cheers xo
+SuperiorSeven Both of these need to happen.
Varys.
+SuperiorSeven
I agree... but take a look at my post.... I talk about Petyr Baelish in it... I dont believe he has a big enough roll in the show to do a huge video on him.. But I do believe he would be on top if Tyrion and him had to go head to head in The Game Of Thrones.
+SuperiorSeven powerful Tywin Lannister
i have some bad news
+Casey P (*spoiler alert) You dont believe he had enough role to put in the show? He is the mastermind of almost all of the major things happened since season 1! Ned killed, why? Because Littlefinger betrayed him. Jeoffrey (sorry if I misspell it) died, why? Littlefinger had huge role in it. Lady Arryn died, why? Littlefinger killed her. Sansa ended up married to Ramsay Bolton, why? Because Littlefinger arranged it and convinced Sansa to agree to it. And so on, and so forth.
If possible, it would be interesting to do a run of the characters who have been killed, and pointing out their mistakes that led to their death when interacting with people
+DrasticSkuba that would be interesting
+DrasticSkuba follow the chain of events for most people and it will lead back to catelyn stark
+Sigma So this will be the Six Degrees of Catelyn Stark?
Tyrion reloads save every time a conversation path turns bad. He is the greatest RPG player ever.
More Tyrion ! The writer/s of GOT surely must have a deep understanding of human psychology and power plays. Your breakdowns are worth gold, land and women !
+VFXProductionsTokyo Haha! You're too much, man!
You should make a video on Littliefinger (Petyr Baelish) he seems like a genius that knows what he is doing aswell :)
that would be awesome
Yes littlefinger the most trusty guy in the world. Especially if your a Stark then it would work out perfectly for you.
sort of sad how GoT shows that to be truly powerfull and get through to people you have to manipulate. Tyrion atleast seems to have some morale
but that's how real life works... sadly? yes, but still true
but has the OP says, you can do it in a perfectly honest way, so i guess it's not that bad
Never can get to much Tyrion!
+Laura Dean °I agree!
+Charisma on Command does this apply to getting women to like you ?
I'd like to see a video of you on that topic !
You'll get millions of views
This dude did it he lived and was made hand of the king for the third time.
There can never be too much Tyrion.
Don't worry, I won't die
Tyrion Targaryen
hahahaha
Targaryen? Hmmmm
The dead wont bargain with you,
no talking yourself out of this one.
Yes sir
George is gonna see this and kill Tyrion off immediately
You think GRRM has ANY influence on the show anymore?
@@ThespianPrince13 I think not.
@@ThespianPrince13 saw the leaks eh
There's a scene before the tyrion's trial by combat with the mountain and the viper when tyrion is talking to Jamie about his cousin the beetle smasher..he's explaining how he tried so hard to get to the bottom of why he was smashing beetles, wut he got out of it, how he became obsessed with his reasoning behind his actions..woulda been a good clip to show..definitely aligns with this video
The monologue Peter gives in that scene is brilliantly done. It was such a simple story he told, but the way he told it was just brilliant... His delivery kept me hooked.
I would love to see more Tyrion video.
me too :P
Yep, more Tyrion stuff is totally alright for me.
+Barefoots Child Can't get enough of him huh? :)
No, actually it is a combination of him and the way tou use his characters abilities to get your message out They go well together.
''How did Tyrion knew that Bronn wants money and women ?''
oh I don't know, because that's what every man wants !?
Damon Hart even RuPaul?
Tyrion: gold or women, men and pretty dresses?
He observed Bronn's behavior (i.e willingly giving away his room for gold and talking about women)
even RENLY?
ikr. he should have did other example. other scene.
"Tyrion can't be killed." A brick falls out of a building and caves in Tyrion's skull. "You were saying?" - George R.R. Martin.
Not bad, although some of these are fairly obvious. Further to this, I would add that Tyrion's genius is that he can do all this whilst under pressure for his life. Although that may have been a situation that he's been in many times in his life.
We forget that Tyrion has grown up in a powerful situation with powerful people with every disadvantage, i.e. that he's been training for this all his life and if he didn't have those skills, he'd already been dead.
Thanks for the input, nicely done!
well said
U do realize this is just a show mate
Yes more. I am beginning to love these videos.
+Malin Grant °Watch out for a new video every Monday. Cheers!
I think Tyrion said it to Jon that his mind is his weapon, and he's been honing it for a long time.
+Phil Lewis no it was me to him
Putting everything else in this video aside, the way you define empathy at 5:32 was perfect.
I work in sales and you can really tell a good sales person when they ask "what do you want?", instead of just telling people why they should buy their product without first asking the question.
Tyrion would be good at Sales.
I love Tyrion so very much #PeterDinklage #GameOfThrones ; A quote specially dedicated to the Great Little Lord #PeterDinklage " There is a great man who makes everyone feel small but the real great man is the one who makes every man feel great " That great man is you Tyrion Lannister ; Great fan of Peter Dinklage . Must say the content is so wonderfully elucidated .
Will definitely keep going!
I like Tyrion simply because he is not evil, he is a good man
This is basically, "How to Win Friends & Influence People" written nearly a hundred years ago. A very good read.
Please do more of these
+Hithesh Ram °I love GoT so expect more of these, for sure.
If you just love GOT then what we do GOT ? Man O'Men you are eating GOT MAN,,,

"Don't be a Lommy" 😅👍🏻
It's shocking to me that I already know a lot of this stuff before watching the video, but still I learned new things, Awesome as always!
Happy to hear that!
No, no, no, this is what they're doing. They're telling you things you already know to make you feel smart
Mindblindness is NOT selfishness. Being egocentric in varying degrees is part of human nature since we are alone in our own minds. And unselfishness is an unproven hypothesis, whereas selfishness in varying forms of seeking profit is what ALL life seeks. Other than that,great video. :)
7:50 In the books the issue wasn´t the jailer didn´t understand but more how he is distrustful of Tyrion because he was lied before. So he made Tyrion to write down a document saying he owes gold to him, and it worked. Tyrion had his freedom and the jailer has his the gold.
8:40 Nah, he knew what Bronn´s like. He already had a castle, lands, titles, even a wife (which by the way she was way different compared with the books version except of her intelligence), and knows very well he can´t defeat the Montain. So he wasn´t surprised when Bronn said no to be Tyrion´s champion again, specially when he doesn´t have nothing offer. He is a sellsword after all.
Tyrion can't be killed? Nope. Valar Morghulis.

+Charisma on Command LOL and he does!
You should do one on Jack Sparrow. He is always encouraging people to chase their goals so that his goals are met as well, often without them even realising how they are helping him (he uses Will to help him escape jail, steal a ship, and find a crew by convincing him that it's the only way to save Elizabeth, but not only that - he also plans to get 1) Elizabeth's medallion and 2) Will Turner's blood together at the location of the curse AND 3) the pirates who stole his ship, so that he can make a deal with all three to get his ship back, all without any of them knowing that that was his plan all along).
Charisma on Demand: Why Tyrion Can't Be Killed
After Season 7 & 8
D&D: Hold our beer. We'll just assassinate his character, make him really stupid.
More GOT sounds good!
I’m a cop. When we have new people in training and they get stuck, we tell them to ask “What would you like me to do?” If what they ask is legal and moral, then do it. If it’s not, explain why. That satisfies most people. It either gives them what they want or helps them set realistic expectations
wow, i didnt realize how persuasive Tyrion is. Especially in that last clip with Braun
I LOVE how not only you explain the characters to us, especially those that are hard to understand, but you also lesson us on phycology, mental survival and life in general, teaching us on characters mistakes while explaining how the human heart reacts to different situations. Love your videos
~ Glad to hear you're loving them Leyla!
lol'd at "pulled a Lommy"
The title of this video should be
"How to succeed in life by being like Tyrion".
You are playing with fire man! Don't temp the writers...
Tempt*
Tyrion is also one of the most honest and down to earth (sorry) characters of the show. He sees the absurdity of all that's happening.
Ah,cut the crap, he can't be killed because he is GRRM's favorite character.
Valar Morghulis
But his plot armour is actually convincing and realistic.
anyone can be killed
Excel rightfully So Tyrion is the best character in both The books , and Adaptation !
The kind of reasoning it takes to be a Tyrion is a mix of sociopathic and survivalist.
I dont know about that. He does try to actually follow through on his promises whenever he is able to. You cant just make idle promises without ever coming through with them. Reputation does matter.
He is a survivor, but I would not consider Tyrion a sociopath. When season 1 began, he came off as a total debauched drunkard. Later, when you hear his backstory, we find out he was actually a sensitive man who became a cynic after the incident with Jaime, his father, and his first wife.
Sociopathic???? Nope
I have to disagree. If you think Tyrion is a sociopath then you have never met a sociopath in your life. Sociopaths are incredibly manipulative and also charismatic, they have personality traits similar to psychopaths. Tyrion is not a sociopath, more a diplomat. He uses persuasive techniques to convince people.
And a pervert
Pleaseee do one on little finger and his long term thinking
+Baron Zemo This
I would like to point out one flaw in your reasoning on how Tyrion's ways to succes could be used in every day situations: Tyrion has the huge advantage of being in a position (wealth and power) to be able to (almost) always actually meet the other person's demands/needs, while most people IRL do not. In Bronn's example (asking a friend to do something) most people wouldn't be able to capitalize on the options of money or land even if they figured out that's what their friend would want most. So missing in your analysis is that in order for the '3 tools' to actually work, you need a 4th tool: capital. Capital can be everything: political (land), economical (gold), social (friendship), pressure (pride), etc. Without this fourth one, the first three tools wouldn't work.
Close but I would say that capital is rather restrictive. That 4th tool should be resources(money, connections, stuff etc) or skills that you have which can get them closer to their goal.
