The Very Best of the Skyrim 'Arrow in the Knee' Meme

Ranker - One of the most talked about games to come out this year was Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. But for all the praise it's getting, one thing has become clear: all guards in the world used to be adventurers before taking an unfortunate arrow to the knee. It seems that every single one has that story. It's so prevelant in the game that the excuse has filtered into every comment section on the internet for the last week, as well as to all the most popular memes.

[Catoplepas]

Yes. Hilarious.

Now let us never mention it again.

[WetN00dle69]

Shhyeah right!!
This is too funny not to be mentioned again!

[Blackdeath_663]

[SilentNegotiator]

U --->> ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

[irepbtown]

I use to laugh at the 'arrow in the knee' joke,

Until I took an arrow in the knee.

[dark-hollow]

Ive stopped mentioning it already!!
...then i took an arrow to the knee.....

[Ren_]

I used to be a meme, but then I took a meme to my meme :(

[SP3333D-O]

It's funny until you take an arrow where you pee.

[Pl4sm4]

i used to laugh about these memes , then i took an arrow to the testicle

[Fylus]

Last night on Facebook, some random girl posted "I just took an arrow to the knee XP XP XP" on the newsfeed. I did a little investigating and found out that she has absolutely no idea what the meme is referring to.

This joke needs to be put to an end before more oblivious mainstream morons get their little paws on it.

[cyguration]

I know right? It's one of the most annoying memes ever mainly because most people who use it have no idea that I just took an arrow to the knee.

Zing!

[Pikajew]

My sister wrote on Facebook I lost the game. I facepawmed when I read it

[MEsoJD]

This stupid joke needs to die.

[Weinerstein]

"Lolzlol I went to get newspaper then tuk arrow in knee lolzolz," That's how retarded this arrow in the knee thing is, I expected better from the Elder Scrolls fanbase, but apparently they're no better than drooling CoD children.

[Dark General]

Funny site, bad "meme".

[ElementX]

I hate memes

[pr0digyZA]

[WetN00dle69]

Your knee might of been hit by an arrow.
I now see why its not funny to you.

[scrambles]

this got old so fast, i still sometimes chuckle but 90% of the time its just annoying now

[Spitfire_Riggz]

you are right man. You see it coming most of the time and its not funny at all

[cyguration]

Not only do you see it coming but it's just so "meh"...I mean really? The joke needs to die but not before it takes an arrow to the knee.

[Laxman]

I was once a Christian, then I took a Logic to the knee.

[_Aarix_]

well played sir.

[scrambles]

that made me laugh http://i1102.photobucket.co...

[Eiffel]

It's excessive use may explain why it only got a chuckle from me. Usually how you kill a meme pretty quickly.

[Oldman100]

The arrow in the knee meme used to be amusing, but then it took an arrow in the knee.

[rattletop]

[adorie]

[WetN00dle69]

Ahhh.....anyone else smell an Knee armor DLC pack???? 5 different types of knee armor with 4 different colors each!

[Silver_Faux]

Im hoping for dlc where you go on a quest to find THE guy who has been shooting arrows in peoples knees.

[Resistance]

hahaha Ace Ventura. One of his best movies lol

[ironfist92]

This meme wasnt funny the first 500 times it was mentioned, not sure why its still funny now.

[Megaton]

Wasn't funny, isn't funny. It's like one of those retarded forced memes G4 tries to start.

[QuodEratDemonstrandm]

I used to make Arrow to the knee jokes then I...

...You know what? Nevermind. Not that funny.

[Tainted Gene]

"....then I took an arrow to the knee"

[Der_Kommandant]

This...

[lucifon]

Thankyou sir, that provided one hell of a laugh.

[bobrea]

This meme.is so stupid. It doesn't require any thought. And if I keep hearing idiots in my cs classes talkabout them everyday I'm going to snap.

It was barely funny when it first started and now its out of control.

[younglj01]

ikr this is tha lamest meme I have heard its not even funny...

[cyguration]

They keep making jokes about it? Do they even play the game or know what Skyrim is?

Oh wait, nvm, you only have one bubble...the other bubbles must taken an arrow to the knee.

[Truerandom]

This meme is plastered all over Youtube, Gamefaq, and IGN's comment section.

Not funny and it got old fast because it got overused, well I saw a lot of arrow jokes on youtube, gaming videos and non gaming videos.

[younglj01]

Seriously can't believe this is funny.I see it on about every site with an comment section.It got annoying really quick.I love memes but this one have too be the worst.But I since its in a very popular game is what makes it funny.

[memots]

Yes its everywhere.

Getting old quick.

[Bokan]

It's funny how poor writing leads to more exposure.

[baboom223]

Bad writing..?

[Bokan]

As in not bothering to write different and interesting dialogue for characters. Instead just having it on a continuous loop, where most anybody says it.

[baboom223]

well I mean they cant write infinite dialogue :P There's actually quite a lot of dialogue for guards.

[Reborn]

If you havin adventure problems I feel bad for you son, I dodged 99 arrows but my knee took one.

This one was the best one I saw. Haven't really seen it much.. yet.

[Shane Kim]

Hahaha this was awesome.

[NnT3291]

I used to make arrow in the knee jokes, and then i took 1000 disagrees in the face

[SSultan]

This would be the Skyrim fan base.

[Hudahudahuda]

I used to be an xbox 360 fanboy, but then i took a rrod to the knee.

[Hazmat13]

i used to make knee jokes, then i took a shout to the face.

[RockmanII7]

I used to complain about people making that stupid arrow in the knee joke, but then I downloaded a word filter and changed it to something that saying would get me banned.
