This Twitter Account Proves 'GOT' Is Just An R-Rated Version Of 'Shrek' (Photos)
If you're a big "Game of Thrones" fanatic, be prepared to have your mind blown.
It turns out your beloved HBO show is pretty much an R-rated version of "Shrek."

Prince Oberyn is pretty much a human version of Puss in Boots; they're both known for their signature eyes -- or lack thereof in Prince Oberyn's case.
