I used to be a Federation Captain but then I took an arrow to the knee...

hey the meme is everywhere so why not here. I love how we have a meme database, I heard to google that one, it's from skyrim, which i knew it was from looking at skyrim videos i would multiple arrow int he knee comments, but no one was linking the reference.

The guards in skyrim in their repeatable stuff they say when you are near say, " I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee"

every guard says it, so now there are you tube videos etc etc of it, of all the different guards saying it.

Memes are incredible, what's even worse is that, where I live, and work, people aren't that into internet culture so dropping them often has no effect, guess they belong in the cyber world only? Among us cybernites?

I wonder sometimes and I wonder what you guys think, you think some memes are created purposely? But do you think this could have been forseen by the developers??? I mean maybe it is just stupid, to be hearing it over and over from every guard, and an arrow in the knee.....of all places.

I used to be an adventurer like you, but my mother took sick, probably wouldn't be as funny eh.

Then there is the eve meme ' experts are calling this a cynosural field ' it seems the internet culture can run with the simplest things and turn them viral over night and not to mention hilarious.

What are your favorite internet memes?

    Internet memes are little sayings that appear in a game or a show and then spread like wildfire.

    The latest one is from the game skyrim. A bunch of guards keep saying 'I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee' for what ever reason it became very popular to repeat.

    its suddenly become the thing to say and twist to what ever suits you. so a star trek one would be 'i used to be a starship captain like you but then i took a bat'leth to the knee.'

    'Its a trap' from star wars is another one that everyone uses for example.

    it's pronounced Meem.

    I witnessed the birth and death of the arrow to the knee meme. (The death of a meme being when it's so common everyone is completely annoyed with it. The arrow in the knee died on December 9th, a little less than a month after it's birth (source memebase))

    As for my favorite meme, I like the anti-joke chicken.
