'Game of Thrones' and 'Avengers' stars fight in an 'SNL' take on 'Family Feud'

Of course there's a joke about how dark the battle of Winterfell was.

Saturday Night Live's May 4 cold open was a gift. It kept the tired political humor to a bare minimum and focused instead on a different kind of armageddon: the entertainment-pocalypse that sees Game of Thrones and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it coming to an end in the space of a single month.

This Avengers: Endgame vs. Game of Thrones edition of Saturday Night Live's take on the Family Feud game show isn't going to age well. Its jokes hang on very specific references that only fans of one or the other will appreciate.

On the other hand, it also gives us the gift of Kenan Thompson shouting "swole Grimace" at Beck Bennett-as-Thanos. And then the normally unflappable Leslie Jones, who plays "Bitch, I'm Groot" here, is so overwhelmed by the ridiculousness of the moment that she laughs openly. Always fun when an SNL cast member breaks.
