You will only understand the humor in this photo on one condition: that of being an avid TV watcher and being familiar with two of the biggest phenomena to take the small screen by storm in recent years, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones.

Proving that he's not only a great actor, Norman Reedus, the man who plays Darryl Dixon on the AMC series The Walking Dead, has just posted a photo of himself with a loved character from Game of Thrones. Fans will recognize him as Tyrion Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage.

The caption on the photo reads “Good job with the crossbow, man! … thanks” and it's a clear bod to the fact that both characters in their respective shows are handy with the crossbow. But whereas Darryl uses his to survive the zombie apocalypse, Tyrion used it for the very nefarious purpose of killing his oppressive father.

The photo was posted on Norman Reedus' Instagram profile and fans went crazy over it, sharing it over and over and turning it into an Internet viral. If anything, it will offer you some chance to revisit your favorite characters until both shows return to the screen later this year.

The Walking Dead is set to come back this October for its fifth season, while Game of Thrones will start airing season number five next year in spring.
