About
Right Proper Lad refers to a catchphrase from a comical image-based recap of the fantasy television series Game of Thrones episode "The Queen's Justice." The line has since become a catchphrase among Game of Thrones fan communities.
Origin
On July 30th, 2017, the third episode of season seven of Game of Thrones aired on HBO.[1] In the episode, two characters, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, share a contentious meeting about who will rule the kingdom and how to deal with the ongoing issue of the walking, frozen dead (video below).
The following day, on July blogger and TV reviewer Chrys of ChrysReivews.com uploaded a series of image macros, humorously recapping the meeting between Jon and Daenerys, to her website.[2] In the review, there is a screencap of the scene that features the character Davos referring to Jon as a "Right proper lad," and Jon echoes, "Right proper" (shown below).
Spread
That day, Chrys posted the series to the /r/GameOfThrones subreddit, [3] where it received more than 17,100 points (94% upvoted) and 980 comments within 22 days. When posted to Imgur on August 8th, the post received more than 400,000 views and 7,100 points in less than a month.
On August 2nd, the following day, Redditor[4] AbelHagen posted a Game of Thrones webcomic by Abel of Wooden Plank Comics based on the scene. In the second panel of the comic (shown below), the character Davos refers to Jon as a "right proper lad." When posted to /r/GameOfThrones, the post received more than 7,800 points (96% upvoted) and 225 comics.
Since the initial post, "right proper lad" has become a catchphrase and copypasta on Reddit. Generally, people will refer to characters that they like as a "right proper lad" or "right proper [noun]" (examples below).

![个[-] VirgelFromage A Hound Never Lies [S] 15 points 10 days ago I agree, if I took my personal stance on all the kills it would go like this; Tyrion: Kills his Father who was a c---, kills his lover who was a c---, and carries out a great military victory using wildfyre to sink an entire fleet, killing thousands presumably, but was necessary to save his city Jaime: Kills his cousin to save himself in a big d--- move, kills Jory who did nothing wrong, tries to kill Bran to save himself in the fist d--- move of the show, and carries out many military victories where he has killed many for the honour of his house and for the king, so is okay I guess Stannis (The Mannis): Kills his own brother for military power in a big d--- move, has his daughter sacrificed to win a military victory which now I think about it did make people go mad, so you're right, and like Jaime has killed many in battle, again which is okay Arya: Kills a stable boy, he was a little s---, kills a Frey solider who was a c---, kills a soldier at the crossroads she had to do that, kills Polliver who was a big ol' cunto, kills Rorge I feel like he was a d---, and terrible person, but I don't know if the kill was that justified, kills Meryn Trant who was a right proper c---, kills the Waif who was a right proper c---, kills Black Walder and Lothar Frey and goes overboard with baking them into a pie, kills Walder Freywho was a major d---, kills every other Frey that matters which personally was a tad overboard, she couldn't possibly have known who was involved in the Red wedding Cersei: Kills hundreds of innocents in the sept of Baelor in a very cinematic d--- move, has Jon Arryn killed in a before the events of the show d--- move, plays a major role in Ned Starks death like a right proper bitch, tortures septa Unella who was just doing her job, tortures Ellaria Sand this one is justified I think, kills Tyene Sand kind of a double standard to commit the same crime as someone you are punishing but I guess vengeance is a strong force, tries to have her brother killed on multiple occasions because she is jealous that he is a right proper lad Daenerys: Kills a witch, I don't agree with this, because it was her own stupidity that lead to the witch harming her, kills a warlock who was getting in the way of my fun so he had to go, kills slavers to free slaves which is fine by me, kills the Khals who were trying to imprison her for life, kills many in military victories which is fine, but uses dragon fire to do so which is her major strength so she needs to use them So yes, you are right, people did lose their minds over the Stannis killing his daughter thing now I remember it, but I don't remember a big fuss over poor Renly](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/287/896/82d.png "Right proper character")
