It\u2019s been two days, and we\u2019re still chuckling about the opening scene of \u201cHard Salt Beef,\u201d the second episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/a>. Sure, the projectile poop<\/a> in the season premiere will live on in infamy, but the sight of Ser Arlan of Pennytree casually airing out his enormous manhood is lodged forever in the memory of series protagonist Dunk<\/a>\u2014and is now similarly entrenched in the mind of every viewer, too.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Ira Parker has already weighed in<\/a> on the moment, explaining that Ser Arlan, who\u2019s portrayed by Danny Webb, had such a gritty life as a hedge knight that he wanted to give the man \u201chis one special thing.\u201d (Parker added a Boogie Nights reference on the very slight chance readers didn\u2019t get what he meant.)<\/p>\n

Speaking of Dirk Diggler, that famously oversized character will likely come to mind when you behold this Instagram post from Waldo Mason, the show\u2019s prosthetic designer.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery proud to have forged Ser Arlan [of] Pennytree\u2019s formidable weapon for the opening moments of this episode!\u201d Mason writes, giving credit to the whole team who helped create the 10-inch prosthetic penis. He also shouts out Webb for his dedication to making the illusion look as realistic as possible despite the \u201cintimate application process\u201d; the end result, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms audiences can agree, was a gasp-inducingly great success.<\/p>\n

Props also for the discreet \u201ctubing for urination,\u201d which made the whole thing look even more believable.<\/p>\n

You can scroll through the photos on Mason\u2019s post to see the mold itself (NSFW), as well as tastefully pixelated stills of Webb getting into character (ahem) behind the scenes, and the sight of Ser Arlan emerging stark naked in the episode itself. (Really extended pixelation on that last shot.)<\/p>\n

So far A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is two-for-two with shocking moments relating to bodily functions. What might episode three have in store? Find out Sunday, when the next episode arrives on HBO and HBO Max.<\/p>\n
