I was going to tell the meme scum to stop right there, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Anyway, I like this one. I'm not quite sure why, but I do.

I'm surprised that people are surprised it became a meme. Memes can come from god knows anywhere for whatever reason. I dunno why, maybe people are a bit less sane on the interenet than in public...

Or maybe I'm just crazy after taking an arrow to the knee

Knees to yourself arrow thief!

My cousin is out there taking arrows to the knee and what do i get? Meme duty.

Maybe I'm really the arrow, maybe the knee just doesn't know it yet.

Yeah, I'm terrible at this. >.<

My husband Bersi, will be the death of me.
Another adventurer comer to lick my father's boots. Good job.
Come to Dragonsreach to discuss the ongoing hostilities, like the rest of the "great warriors"?

Face it, the arrow in the knee line is, by far, one of the least annoying lines to hear over and over again.

Most video game memes tend to get really annoying, the Deus Ex and DE:HR ones, however, are still funny for some reason and one of very few that I don't find irritating.
Indeed. I still chuckle every time one of my Chimeras (Chimerae? Chimerii?) yells "Drive me closer, I want to hit it with my sword!" in DoW2.

I used to be annoyed by the meme then I took an arrow to the knee. Obvious dick move aside they did leave themselves open for it with every guard being an adventurer. I don't really like the meme myself as it one of the more boring and brainless ones and it doesn't take much to execute it. If people put a bit more thought into its use it would be better.

Because people love to laugh at other people's misery.
ALso, TES guards tend to spawn memes...
"STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!"
Agreed, though let's not forget their humble beginnings:
On a related note, I ran across an NPC who claimed he used to be a Stormcloak soldier until he took a sword to the chest. I wonder if that's going to be a sub-meme or a successor?

I much more thoroughly enjoy FUS RO DAH.
then again...
I used to make jokes about taking an arrow to the knee, but then I really did take an arrow to the knee, thereby preventing me from telling jokes about taking an arrow to the knee, so I then proceeded to tell jokes about the arrow to the knee which prevented me from telling&#65279; jokes about the original arrow to&#65279; my knee, but most unfortunately, I later took an arrow to the knee,&#65279; rendering me incapable of telling this joke. Then, to deepen my confusion, I took an arrow to the knee...

Whats tripping me out is i don't think a lot people even know where its from anymore. I don't think Skyrim is that popular and i'm a TES fan since i started gaming. This really just astounds me how much its caught on.
You might be suprised. Skyrim has sold more copies in it's first two weeks then Battlefield 3, and is the biggest threath to Call of Duty's throne at the moment.

It´s a TES guard, they are by law forced to speak in memes.

After the 100th guard said that line to me in Skyrim, I knew it would become a meme. I've noticed people referencing it youtube, and even on Minecraft servers. Consider the sales-figures of Skyrim, this might be a lot worse than "the cake is a lie."

I like the "arrow to the knee" meme
a friend of mine believes it,s all a big conspiracy to cut down on adventure and make more people into guards.

I was going to shoot a guard in the knee for irony, but then he said "I know who you are, hail Sithis!" and we became the best of friends!

It's starting to get almost as annoying as seeing bronies everywhere, almost.

Uh...apparently you'd be wrong, considering how popular the meme is.

Honestly, when I saw the subject of the thread, I thought you were referring to something else. I myself keep seeing "Fus Ro Dah" everywhere. Hmmm.

Anyhoo, allow me to add to the meme, and let it grow, because it's fun.
