Line 16:
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Played with. Many members are deconstructions, but some (Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, Barristan Selmy, and Lord Commander Duncan the Tall) run it straight.
* [[Master Swordsman]]: Has featured several, such as Arthur Dayne, Barristan Selmy, and Jaimie Lannister.
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: The Kingsguard are sworn to live this trope, no matter how terrible their monarch might be. This is seen in full effect under Joffrey, and horror stories of what the Kingsguard either participated in or enabled under Aerys Targaryen have become the stuff of legend. Jaime Lannister, Barristan Selmy, and Sandor Clegane are notable for being the only three members of the order in recent history to say "fuck that noise" to this trope.
** Subverted with [[Nice Guy|Arys Oakheart]], who's commanded by Joffrey to beat Sansa (like the rest of his brothers who do it without question and are pretty terrible about it). He objects to hitting her but gives in... and only hits her as lightly as possible.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]: Under terrible rulers, the Kingsguard sometimes act like this.
Line 63:
* [[Dirty Coward]]: per his own words, though he comes across as a [[Lovable Coward]].
* [[Fat Best Friend]]: to Jon Snow.
* [[Father, I Don't Want to Fight]]
* [[Geek Physiques]]: Sam is described as being quite fat and un-athletic.
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]], [[Nerds Are Virgins]]: played straight. (Until later...)
