Olenna Tyrell really was one of the greatest characters in Game Of Thrones. She was incredibly wise and certainly knew how to play the game, having no problems in telling people some hard truths whenever she needed to, all while being incredibly protective over her grandchildren.
Olenna brought plenty of sass to the show as well, happily delivering some incredible lines to let people know how she felt. As a very cunning person, Olenna knew when to take her opportunities and she was always sly about doing so. Never revealing her full hand to allow enemies an advantage, Olenna was someone who fans grew to love as she created some massively memorable moments.
10 Grown Ups Are Talking
While Olenna Tyrell wasn't a woman who would be leading the charge in battle, she delivered just as many fatal blows with her sharp one-liners that could cut just as deep as any blade. When Olenna visited Dorne to see Ellaria and the Sand Snakes, she showcased how brutal she could be.
With the Sand Snakes trying to get involved in the conversation, she quickly just silenced all three of them with a quick flurry of insults. The trio were normally very confident individuals, but she shut them up and made it clear that the grown-ups were talking, which was a hilarious moment.
9 Wedding Funds
The moment that Olenna Tyrell and Tyrion Lannister came together was certainly an exciting one for fans. It was a real meeting of the minds between two of the smartest characters throughout the series as they discussed the financial situation in regards to the royal wedding.
The whole moment is fantastic as they go back and forth, with Olenna proving just how much the Tyrell family has provided the Lannisters. In the end, she agrees to pay half and just walks away in the coolest manner possible.
8 You're Not Writing
Cersei Lannister and Olenna Tyrell certainly had a very frosty relationship throughout their time on the show. They were both incredibly wise and sharptongued, which is why they clashed as they had such different opinions on how to rule.
They had many great encounters, and one of the best saw Cersei trying to frustrate Olenna by writing and ignoring her. However, Olenna quickly remarked that she knew Cersei wasn't writing anything, telling her to stop, which was a fantastic way of quickly shutting her down.
7 A Meeting Of The Minds
While Cersei Lannister liked to talk back to Olenna Tyrell, she was certainly never on her level of wisdom. However, when she sat down to meet Tywin Lannister, he was more than capable of battling with her, which is something Olenna herself admitted.
It was an amazing moment as the back and forth conversation just allowed two of the smartest characters on the show to do what they do best. It was an engaging scene and certainly one of her greatest moments.
6 Ignorance Is Bliss
Olenna Tyrell is arguably the smartest character in the entire series, and that is why Daenerys Targaryen is happy to take advice from her when they finally meet. This is a really great moment of female empowerment as Olenna talks about how Tyrion is a smart man, but she's known many smart men.
The best part is where Olenna gives Daenerys the advice to ignore the men around her because even though she's known many smart men, she's outlived them all, which Olenna puts down to ignorance and trusting her own thoughts.
5 Thoughts On Kings Landing
While Kings Landing is the location that everyone is seemingly trying to get to in order to claim the Iron Throne, Olenna Tyrell is the only person who says it how it is. The location isn't a nice place, with lots of poverty and poor treatment.
On her journey into Kings Landing her carriage stops as she just states, "you can smell the s**t from here." She says it as it is and really makes a clear point which is a hilarious moment but also establishes the honesty that Olenna is willing to provide.
4 Thoughts On Joffrey
It isn't just Kings Landing who she is brutally honest about, as her curtain call moment allows for an excellent comment on Joffrey. He is the most hated man in Westeros at points, but nobody is ever willing to really say it how it is.
However, during Olenna's final moments when she is talking with Jamie, she makes her thoughts on Joffrey crystal clear. She delivers a brutal line about the young boy and gives the audience the moment they've all been wanting to hear.
3 Olenna Wants Her Cheese
Olenna Tyrell was never one to hold back on her thoughts, and often those unsuspecting young people around her ended up suffering. During her first meeting with Sansa Stark, it was a server who found that out first hand when he initially said no to giving Olenna some cheese.
He wanted to serve it after the meal, but she wanted it straight away, and Olenna made sure he was aware of it. While it didn't have a major impact on the story, it was just a hilarious one-liner.
2 Refusing To Help Cersei
Olenna Tyrell and Cersei Lannister were at loggerheads throughout the entire series, as they simply hated one another. That was never clearer than when Cersei actually asked for help from Olenna in order to deal with the Faith Militant.
However, instead of helping her, Olenna just sat back and tore Cersei apart. She made it clear how much she hated Cersei at this moment, throwing threats towards her and making it clear she wasn't helping, leaving Cersei stunned in silence.
1 Her Final Moment
Olenna Tyrell got one of the nicer deaths in a show packed full of brutality and gore. With Jamie Lannister simply poisoning her, which she was aware of, it seemed like she was going to bow out with real dignity and class. While that was certainly the case, Olenna also made sure she got one final jab in with a brutal final few lines.
Olenna revealed to Jamie that she was the one responsible for poisoning Joffrey, murdering him in the most brutal manner at the 'Purple Wedding.' The person responsible had been a big mystery throughout the series, but Olenna admitting it was her as one final act of revenge to hurt the Lannisters as she died summed her character up perfectly.
