Skyrim spawns a meme.

[DRTJR]

I used to follow memes like this, then I took an arrow to the knee

 

[Dectomax]

In Soviet Russia, Guard takes a Knee to the Arrow.

 

[witheringsanity]

i used to take arrows to the knee, then i FUS RO DAH!!!

 

[lobster1077]

I never asked for this arrow to the knee.

 

[ThreeWords]

I was going to stop right there, then I took an arrow to the knee.

I love you.

Well, I did. Until I took an arrow to the knee

 

[Outright Villainy]

I don't think Skyrim is that popular

These words. These words make no sense. The sense I seek in these words, it is nowhere to be seen.

Lets document my average trip to the internet these past few weeks: Go check facebook, and half my friends are talking about Skyrim. Go on reddit, at least 90% of the posts on the gaming subreddit are about skyrim. I come here, and every other thread is about Skyrim.

Skyrim also sold 3.5 million copies in 2 days. Outside of CoD it's the biggest game in the world right now.

I flew backwards on a dragon, and all I got was an arrow to the knee...

 

[Major_Tom]

Well, at least people stopped making those stupid kitchen jokes for a while. I guess they took an arr... sorry.

 

[Mausthemighty]

I love memes. It's stupid comedy and very formulaïc, but it still cracks me up when I see another "arrow to the knee"-joke. The same with the "Walk into Mordor"-stuff. Or the Deus Ex HR motivationals. I guess I laugh very quick.

 

[Fbuh]

It's like the "Stop right there, criminal scum!" from Oblivion.

 

[Mahha]

fus do rah is another skyrim spawned meme

Yeah seeing this every where is not funny or cool. It was funny the First time i seen it on the game and by the 10'000 time a guard said it i started to kill them.

 

[Seagoon]

I'm sick of seeing it everywhere. I wish Skyrim was never released so I didn't have to see it EVERYWHERE.

I'll never understand why people don't like memes... Its like chuck testa...

 

[GundamSentinel]

My cousin is out there getting an arrow in the knee, and what do I get? Guard duty.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!"

"STOP, YOU VIOLATED THE LAW!"

OT: Popular things tend to spawn memes. Depending on how current the source material is, the meme will be much more widespread until it dies down over time. Just the nature of the beast that is the internet.

 

[funksobeefy]

I used to be a criminal scum, but then I took an arrow to the knee

 

[darksuccubus]

Well, it's not surprising, really. Oblivion had "Stop right there, criminal scum!" and Morrowind had "We are watching you, scum". The thing is, when every 5th NPC says this when you meet him, it's bound to become a meme
EDIT: Oh yeah, and how could I forget FUS RO DAH! It became popular by sheer epicness

 

[gamma1234]

I'm sick of seeing it everywhere. I wish Skyrim was never released so I didn't have to see it EVERYWHERE.

I was going to ignore this thread...

But then I took an arrow to the knee.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

i know. it was funny at first, but then it took an arrow in the knee.

I'm much more of a fan of the Fus Ro Dah meme. Hearing that then seeing real people get thrown great distances? That shit is just priceless.

For your viewing pleasure:

yeah, i like that one best.

 

[IncredibleTurnip]

Well, just to make things worse....
