One does not simply take an arrow to the knee.

I'm getting tired of this knee joke as well, I'm sure we all can come up with some other jokes since Skyrim has so many NPCs with repeating dialogues.

And to OP: you need to play more Skyrim.

They aren't funny, but I do enjoy annoying the hell out of people with them.

It's a comment guards will occasionally through out there, it's apparently rather popular. There's certainly a tradition of guard comments taking off like this. First it was "Halt Halt Halt" with Daggerfall, then "We're watching you scum" with Morrowind, and then "Stop right there criminal scum" with Oblivion.


That takes me back.

It just annoyed me that almost every Fallout and Skyrim vid is full of these.


It's not just Bethesda game videos or video game videos in general. I saw some last night on videos about racing. For example, I was looking to see if there was a FIA Gala 2011 video up yet (the FIA Gala 2010 video was awesome) and I ran across some joker with a mock-up of what he claimed to be an "official" design for the 2012 cars, without understanding that there isn't an official design for 2012 because all teams have to design and manufacture their own unique cars, and then the same guy had another video of what was supposedly a Ferrari LMP car in the works, even though it mysteriously had the same livery and sponsors as the Ferrari F10 (2010 Formula One car from Ferrari), and both videos had arrow to the knee jokes in the comments.

Every single Skyrim video on youtube is full with those stupid arrow in the knee jokes. What's the origin of this?
They aren't that funny.

Lmao, people are still wondering where this joke came from??! Some people are not playing enough Skyrim I see :confused:

You used to have a knee but you took an arrow in your sense of humour.
(Weird that you ask about the origin of these jokes; don't you play the game?)

It's the birth of a new meme.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

I think it's because people were under the impression that towns and NPCs would be unique and not just copypasta and exactly the same wherever you go

The funny thing is that they are literally all over youtube. Even videos that have nothing to do with Skyrim have top comments about arrows in the knee. I knew that a lot of people play Skyrim but I after seeing the amount of people saying it on youtube, it's quite impressive.

Yeah i just read one two days ago on the deadmau5 song "Sofi Needs a Ladder". I beleive it was "I used to bring sofi a ladder until I got an arrow in the knee"

My personal favourite: "I used to play Skyrim, but then I took a patch to the knee"

For all of you doubters out there, a guard taking an arrow in the knee is no joke. I've got proof.

I work with my mother... selling fruits and vegetables. Then I took an arrow in the knee. I thought to myself "Maybe I'm the Dragonborn" because someone stole my sweetroll, and I was like "what are you lookin at? Boys, dogs, elders, there's NOBODY I won't fight! I oughta bash your face in for what you did.

"is that fur? coming out of your ears?"

"well i am a khajiit...is that an arrow? sticking out of your knee?"

"well i used to be an adventurer like you."

"that explains a lot, well i just wanted to tell you someone stole my sweetroll :sadvaultboy: "

I used to dislike the "Arrow to the knee jokes" until I took an --- Oh, forget it.

Yeah, it's been overused. I use to be an arrow, then I took an adventurer to the knee.
