But then… I took an arrow to the knee

Ok, I give up. What's so fun about this meme to be spread all over the Internet?!

Is it some dumb thing like the one depicted in The Simpsons? With everybody laughing because Bart says "I didn't do it!"? I heard that phrase dozen on times in Skyrim and it took me time to make the connection. I've never found it funny at all. Since I read it on the Internet before playing Skyrim, I actually thought it was related to yet another Skyrim's bug. Go figure.

And no, don't worry. It isn't because someone stole my sweet roll.. (that line is actually funnier!).

"But then I took an arrow in the knee" is from skyrim, and its just a line that caught on.

it was originally funny because it was an inside joke for ppl who play skyrim and go tthe reference... but then eveyone started using and it lost its comedic essence, but that's not to say its not still funny.

Uhhh no.

It was funny because the idea of there being so many guards who run into the sad fate of being guards due to arrows in the knee made it funny. As if during an initiaton you had to be an adventurer who's downfall was a simple arrow to the knee.

Then more and more people started posting jokes about it until it was a meme. Its prety annoying seeing all the tweens make jokes about it as if its something cool or special, but ah well.
