The guard's frequent comments regarding "taking arrows in the knee" is actually a subtle reference to the fact that Greaves are not an armor type in Skyrim, unlike in previous games, where Greaves protected the shin and knees. It's also a common factor on websites that when people comment with the joke, they say "arrow to the knee" when in fact the guards say "arrow in the knee".

I'm gonna get called a Noob for saying this, but, since I havent played Skyrim THAT much, and have only gotten to level 35, I think it's valid I don't know this answer but: wtf spell/enchantment is he using to make them freeze up like a statue when he shoots them with an arrow?

I want to know how people found meme funny in the first place. I played Sky Rim and if anything the arrow to the knee thing just annoyed the hell out of me.

I think they find it funny purely for that fact that the guard's statement is 100% random, I even laughed when I first saw it because I only played Skyrim after the meme became popular.

Holy shit this was brilliant. And finally someone intelligent pointed out that my ancestors, the norsemen, or the vikings as many calls them, didnt wear horned helmets.
