What if 'Clueless' Starred Khaleesi?

by Mary Grace Garis

You know her as the Mother of Dragons in Game Of Thrones, she's taken the tiara from Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's on Broadway, and now she's taking on Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys. You'd think that'd be enough for a 28-year-old actress, but it would seem that Emilia Clarke also picked up a valley girl accent from the one and only Cher Horowitz. That's right, on Monday the (very British) Clarke showed she can nail American Valley Girl dialect while making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and why? "I like, love Clueless!" she said. Could a Clueless reboot starring the Khaleesi herself, Daenerys, be that far off?

As if! I'm a big believer of not tampering with perfection, and Clueless definitely falls into the category of "perfection." Still, it wouldn't hurt to imagine the ever flaxen-haired Dany in the role of equally flaxen-haired Cher, would it? Well, I have wonderful news. Now, thanks to my aggressively mediocre Photoshop skills, you don't have to imagine this merging... I've laid out the visuals for you.

So feel free to watch the video of Clarke's valley girl accent below, and enjoy the thing you never knew you needed before, but now will not be able to live without ever again: Daenerys Targaryen as Cher Horowitz. You're welcome, Internet.

"Here's where Missandei lives. She's my friend because we both know what it's like to overcome oppression."

"And I have to give her snaps for her courageous fashion efforts."

"So, okay. Like right now, for example, the Dothraki need to come help me gain rule over all the land. But some people are all, 'What about all the other families that want control of the throne?'"

"So I'm like, totally bugging, and I had to haul ass across Westeros, but at the end of the day it's like, 'I'm going to be the rightful queen of the Seven Kingdoms and everyone else can eat it.'"

"Miss, my mission is clear. Would you look at that girl? She is so adorably clueless. We've got to adopt her."

"So we decided to show Drogon the ropes of Westeros."

"That is House Tyrell. Margaery's whole thing is about marrying kings, she thinks it's the most important thing on Earth. And that's the House Lannister. You can't hang with them unless you're into incest and general depravity. And there's Ned Stark's bastard with the perpetual sad face and all of House Stark splintered across the general vicinity."

"Why am l even listening to you to begin with? You're a Khaleesi of the Dothraki."

"That's way factual, Dragon."
