Well, the dungeon is always an option. I mean, quite literally, he has more Lannister blood running through him than your average character.

You couldn't lock him in the dungeon, though. He'd need to be drugged and made incapacitated before you could get away with locking him up, and even then, you'd have to keep him that way. I don't see an effective way to control him, unless Tywin was around, and even then, Joffrey might eventually just decide to have him killed. Imagine Joffrey at 25 and Tywin at 85. There'd be no way to control Joffrey. More to the point, unless someone like, say, Margaery Tyrell (the future queen) could soften his impact, he'd be the kind of king who'd be constantly risking rebellions against him. And Gods forbid he kill or otherwise harm her. He'd have Loras massing an army at his gates the same way his "father" did with Aerys.
Reminds me of some of the posters in this thread. :lol

The way to control him is relatively simple, you rely on the power of Tywin Lannister and you quietly strip Joffrey of his powers and give it to the small council or a Prime Minister even. Let's face it, Tywin is the real power behind the throne even though he lets Joffrey do pretty much as he pleases and if he told everyone that you weren't to listen and obey Joffrey's every whim they'd do it. Tywin is still young enough that by the time he dies or gets too old to exert much influence the people around Joffrey will be used to it and he'd end up being King in Name Only or KINO. The only real problem with that is that establishes a serious precedent that could effectively neuter the power of the Iron Throne until a king comes along that's strong enough to take power back for himself.

That would be the potential downside to my idea, but it would ensure that you wouldn't have another madman on the Iron Throne, or at least a madman with absolute power.

Now, let's be honest here: Tywin and Tyrion are the only ones who have told Joffrey NO... probably since he was a toddler. Let us not forget, it's Cersei who has been consistently reinforcing this idea in Joffrey that he can do no wrong. At least until very, VERY recently, and even so, she doesn't put much effort into trying to stop him.

Tywin was already the real power behind a king (Aerys, the Mad King) and that didnt go to well for the realm. The psycho still managed to do quite a bit of damage before being taken out by Jaime. Maybe Tywin isnt as powerful and cunning as people think.

On that list, there are plenty I hadn't seen before or if I had, not in quite so memorable a role. But, there are a few that I particularly associate with other roles:
Littlefinger -- Tommy Carcetti, The Wire.
Tywin -- Sardo Numspa, The Golden Child. (who could kill you "yust like that.")
Grand Maester Pycelle -- General Veers, The Empire Strikes Back.
Barristan Selmy -- Captain Hammond, Horatio Hornblower.
Ned Stark -- Richard Sharpe, the Sharpe series.
Margaery Tyrell -- Anne Boleyn, The Tudors
Edmure Tully -- Marcus Junius Brutus, Rome
Locke -- The band's manager, Almost Famous
Balon Greyjoy -- Inspector Alleyn, the Inspector Alleyn mystery series.
Mance Rayder -- Gaius Julius Caesar, Rome
They did a pretty good job with the rest.

I hadn't realized Catelyn Stark was Hermione Granger's mom...
