Jess used to make videos about relatively well-liked memes and then, inevitably, she took an arrow in the knee.

it was pretty hilarious back when it popped-up and it can still make you smile if you don't hear it repeatedly every 30s
1 Like I especially liked this reaction by PsychicPebbles! *Strong language*

Yea that meme had its day. If anyone were to still make this joke it's a little delayed imo (therefore not funny). Awesome segment :)
Arrow to the knee meme is one of my guilty pleasures, I admit. I suppose its easier to enjoy memes from games you are very familiar with, and I logged a lot of time in Skyrim. Sad this is the last show for awhile, but there are only so many memes...
@HowlPendragon "Few memes fly as high and fall as fast as today's installment in gaming meme history."
I have a universal accent translator. :)
@Barrakas21 this guy sums up my feelings on tattoos, maybe because I'm the same age as him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhAcd405leI
8 Like Jessywoo, light of my life, cream in my coffee, as this is the last one of these you're doing for a bit, does that mean you'll be making more effort in our relationship now? I'm tired of doing the dishes every night and really, do we have to see your parents EVERY weekend? The air travel bills are killing me!
2 Like Apparently none of those guards could adventure anymore because they took an arrow to the knee, and yet a dragon flies by and they run after it. :P
1 Like Lidia always saying "I'm sworn to carry your burdens", used to drive me up the wall too.
1 Like @canuckbiker that line anoyed me so much for some reason that i never used her as a companion in the game lol
I got Skyrim when it came out and rushed through it in a week, then I was in basic training for 2 months and had missed the rise and fall of this meme.
jess, bring your candid awkwardness to me. We don't have to talk about games, you do the talking I'll do the listening.
Hmm. I wonder... With the new Tardis mod of the week. what if one went back in time and prevented the guard from taking said arrow, to said knee?
2 Like @RPG_Fan_I_Am Fixed point in time, like Rose's Dad getting hit my the car or Pompeii. Couldn't happen.
10 Like If you're having adventuring problems i feel bad for you son,
i dodged 99 arrows but the knee took one.
@tempertress @kerc_chaos It's definitely one of the more creative derivatives of the arrow to the knee meme... Also, it conjures up the image of Jay-Z in a suit of armour rapping (I almost spelt that with 1-P... awkward.) which brings a smile to my face. Your next meme, if you don't mind the suggestion could be a League meme like Mundo goes where he pleases or Gangplanks "I ate an orange and it was K"
1 Like I used to make arrow to the knee jokes, but then I took some common sense to the head.
3 Like I found out that "arrow to the knee" was like a slang phrase in ancient Nordic which meant to get married.......this was while making my daily trek in funny junk and don't know how much weight it carries.
@holhardy Since your still leaving comments, I would assume you have yet to experience taking an arrow to the knee!!??!
I used to like to like memes that bugged the hell out of people................. until i took an arrow in the knee!!!
1 Like @PupilsDilated Heh, pretty funny. Although I can't really imaging Chuck Norris doing the Riverdance. He'd probably just stand next to a river and have IT do the dancing for him.
1 Like @tmrtyn @PupilsDilated how does he even get an arrow to the knee? o_O unless he throws it himself, which will cause the arrow to get a Chuck Norris to the knee.
I don't think I have actually heard the arrow to the knee line in Skyrim. The guards are always talking about how there's fur coming out of my ears, which is weird because I got cured from being a werewolf as soon as I finished that questline.
@Mr_Pants_tent I thought the fur coming out of my ears was because I am an Elf , thanks for the info .
