Tyrion isn't as clever as he thinks he is. And, also, on the side, he seems to share his brother's taste for really weird pussy.

Tyrion rode a non-stop train of epic-wins throughout the first book, which made him easily one of the most likeable characters of the first book, but in later books once he started failing at things he was trying to do and ended up accomplishing very little he became just another character to me.
