Imagine attacking Whiterun as a Stormcloak and you open the door to Dragonsreach and just see Balgruuf being protected by a whole barricade of guards dancing in perfect harmony.
Then Tullius and Rikke walk out of the back wearing Whiterun Armor and says, "We used to be soldiers like you, until we took an arrow in the knee." And then the entire Imperial Legion, armed in the armor of Jarl Balgruuf destroyed the Stormcloak Army, and conquer all of Skyrim, and the same happens across the Dragonborn Empire. In High Rock and Cyrodiil, all warriors don the Armor of Whiterun, and the Emperor himself takes an arrow in the knee. Suddenly, with a roar, the entire Empire shouts aloud "FOR WHITERUN!" and charges accross all the borders, conquering the rest of Tamriel. I think this is the most likely outcome for both the Civil War and second Great War.
10 years ago, this song cracked me up. Now in old age, my own knee is going out and I use a cane. People ask what happened and I say, "I used to be an adventurer like you but then took an arrow to the knee" It helps me find true skyrim fans! Love it!!!
Very similar situation here. I shattered both sides of my left ankle and split the tibia up from my foot a ways 15 yrs ago. I now am starting to have to use a cane as well. When you limp people usually can't tell what specific area it is. When someone asks what happened I also use the line. You can find fellow gamers who get a kick out of it and then sometimes you get those folks who just give you the blank stare. I laugh much harder at the dumbfounded folks.
dragonborn: can i be a town guard town guard: what can you do? dragonborn: hold on (grabs an arrow) (stabs his knee with his arrow) town guard: your in
Steps on how to be a guard. 1. Can dance 2. Were an adventurer 3. Took an arrow in the knee 4. Be a groovy dancer 5. Finding somebody's stolen sweetroll
That's the only reason the jarl doesn't hire a new one. He gives the jarl an Infinite suplly of theives and assassins to protect him for the rest of his days.
Of course, there is a civil war going on. That may be why he's abstaining from picking sides, the coming conflict is bound to have more than a few viable "recruits"
I have no idea why. But this song gives me nostalgia, sadness, happiness, and so many more emotions. Like this song is a parody of a few lines in the game. But for some silly reason it means so much more to me than just a random song.
Whiterun - 14h35 Jarl: Hello my friend, why are you here today? Potential guard: i wanna become a guard in whiterun. Jarl: Oh! Fine, are you good in combat? Potential guard: no but... Jarl: but what? Potential guard: i took an arrow in the knee Jarl: you're hired!
The guards dont take an actual “Arrow” to the knee, the phrase “I took an arrow to the knee” refers to marriage, as in...the guard got married/proposed ☺️
@@yacine778 it's actually a myth that an "arrow in the knee" means to get married, so all of the guards have indeed been injured if their stories are true.
@@CrashDiesel23 I am genuinely surprised some people still believe this nonsense. There is no such saying documented. "Arrow in the knee" is basically just that - a joke from developers.

Chief: you can't be a guard anymore Guard: Why? Chief: you were never an adventurer... And you never took an arrow to the knee Guard: You didn't either (Chief puts arrow in knee) Chief: I beg to differ
Love how the Jarl's housecarl was also dancing in the background. Gives the impression that either she herself was once shot in the knee too, or that she just really enjoys the thought of knee injuries XD
Kylie Stevens "What's going on in here?" "Oh, the guards have just randomly broken into song and dance again" *sigh* "Again?" "Just ignore them. Their knees won't hold out for long"
When I first heard the guard say "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee". I looked at him like he was mental. Here he was. Some chump in a weird yellow outfit and pointy helmet was comparing himself... to ME!? Well, naturally like all bada** Dragonslayers, the only course of action possible was to get in his face and demand: "Really, you used to be LIKE ME?" :) "Did you slay the world eater Alduin?" "Did you end the vampire menace?" "Did you slay Miraak and save Solstheim?" "Did you become harbinger of the companions?" "Did you become thane of the nine holds?" "Did You become Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold?" "Did you assassinate the emperor of Skyrim?" *Guard Draws Sword* In retrospect I shouldn't have said that last part. And here I am now, running like I'm chasing a Skyrim Deer while a legion of medieval police are trying to put an arrow in MY knee. Just a regular day in the life of a Dragonborn.
I think that's is what happened to all the Protagonists of Elder Scrolls games. At the end of their adventures, they took an arrow in the knee and became a Skyrim guard.
FlashDemonic Are you sure a weakened Eternal Champion, Hero of Daggerfall, Nereavarine/Protector of Morrowind, Hero of Kvatch and the Last Dragonborn are weak ass adventurers?
Zortec it seems these Earth life-forms have received high-velocity projectiles directly to the lower extremities. Yet they are engaging in rhythmic movement of aformentioned extremities... Peculiar to say the least. Consult the council! *Weird shrieking noises*
Fun fact: “Taking an arrow in the knee” is nordic slang for getting married. They used to be adventurers but now they have spouses and possibly children.
This is true, my dad used to fly airplanes and do all sorts of crazy stupid stunts. Then he got married, he no longer an adventure now, he guards my families house. He took an arrow to the knee lol
Generic undertale Fan boy that's what I said and then whenever all those guards are dancing did you notice the hero the guy that took the arrow in the knee when running away you could see his iron helmet I didn't notice until the second time I listen to this He was dancing too
"Ahh, your like me. Dont fancy those clunky two handed weapons." -Says guard with a Battleaxe on his back. *Slowly walking backwards while aiming my bow at his knees.*
tbh that's some impressive dancing for someone who took an arrow to their knee, also how does the Dragonborn not know where the tavern in one of the smallest and easiest towns to navigate is
The first time I watched this is when I was 8 years old and my brother showed me this, well... I'm thirteen now. I was just sitting down on my couch and as soon as I remembered that this song even existed, I immediately got on my phone and searched it up. I am so happy now. God bless you, you are a true legend.
"I used to be an arrow like you, then I took an adventurer to the knee." "My cousins out on guard duty, and what do I get? Fighting Dragons." "Let me guess...a sweetroll stole your someone." "The weapons gave you two gods, and you use them both for your hands."

@@Burgerboy118 cool
This going Tobe one of those "lasts forever" songs
Its 8 years now... 2020
Haha yeah that’s not going so great is it... why does 2020 suck
Every couple years I come back to this video cause this is just my childhood man I loved this song so much lmaoo
Chief: you can't be a guard anymore
Guard: Why?
Chief: you were never an adventurer... And you never took an arrow to the knee
Guard: You didn't either
(Chief puts arrow in knee)
Chief: I beg to differ
Caboose GonnaSlayMe arrow in the knee means u got married
Arrow in the knee means, you got married
Caboose GonnaSlayMe XD
N
Gaurd: look at my knee guard puts arrow in his knee
Love how the Jarl's housecarl was also dancing in the background. Gives the impression that either she herself was once shot in the knee too, or that she just really enjoys the thought of knee injuries XD
Sarah Panther and the jarl and his steward haven't even noticed any of this like it's a regular thing that happens in dragonsreach
Kylie Stevens
"What's going on in here?"
"Oh, the guards have just randomly broken into song and dance again"
*sigh* "Again?"
"Just ignore them. Their knees won't hold out for long"
Well, she does express interest in using force to "solve" the problem of annoying bureaucrats so...
OH MY GOD YES IT DOES
Also, she probably just liked the gaurds pain!! :P
When I first heard the guard say "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee". I looked at him like he was mental.
Here he was. Some chump in a weird yellow outfit and pointy helmet was comparing himself... to ME!?
Well, naturally like all bada** Dragonslayers, the only course of action possible was to get in his face and demand:
"Really, you used to be LIKE ME?" :)
"Did you slay the world eater Alduin?"
"Did you end the vampire menace?"
"Did you slay Miraak and save Solstheim?"
"Did you become harbinger of the companions?"
"Did you become thane of the nine holds?"
"Did You become Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold?"
"Did you assassinate the emperor of Skyrim?"
*Guard Draws Sword*
In retrospect I shouldn't have said that last part.
And here I am now, running like I'm chasing a Skyrim Deer while a legion of medieval police are trying to put an arrow in MY knee.
Just a regular day in the life of a Dragonborn.
Thanks, appreciate it!
HAHAHA XD bring this man UP!
Hammerfell is not with the puppet of the dominion known as the empire so its just emperor of the cyrodilic empire and half of skyrim since civil war
Lol this was awesome.
are you the champion of all the daedra?
Every few months I come back here and this always cheer me up.
3:34 did the stablemaster just seriously shoot an ebony arrow with a longbow
WHAT A WASTE
Zafyrus Games
Yes, yes he did. Why the worst bow in the game? No idea, should have at least been a Hunting Bow
How did you notice that dude
@@kittenquill7775 it showed a close up on the bow while he was aiming and all arrows have a different appearance
I think it’s orcish
Bethesda Softworks needs to watch this
Snappy Cat10, trust me they probably have lol
day sould
wow, Puns
They really should
And make a brand new quest when you must shoot that guy in the knee( kinda like borderlands 2)
I think that's is what happened to all the Protagonists of Elder Scrolls games. At the end of their adventures, they took an arrow in the knee and became a Skyrim guard.
Hmmm...interesting theory
Some weak ass adventurers guarding.
FlashDemonic
Are you sure a weakened Eternal Champion, Hero of Daggerfall, Nereavarine/Protector of Morrowind, Hero of Kvatch and the Last Dragonborn are weak ass adventurers?
+DovahkiinPony 2.6 Bethesda has confirmed this
No the guards was a advecger untile he took a arrow in the knee
11 years and I'm still watching this masterclass
aweome moves for people with shattered knees
and i can't even walk with a mildly grazed knee
ikr xP
Banana Mustard yeah they have awesome moves but broken kneecaps
Banana Mustard 100th like
Pretty limber.
They all have taken arrows to the knee and then when you steal that one sweet roll these bastards can run faster that Usain Bolt.
lol
Cosmic Gaming .....getting hit in the knee made them faster! no wonder why they get force to be guards
You know that ''to get an arrow in the knee'' is nordic for to get married?
it could also mean they were shot in the knee with an arrow
No offense, but I don't believe this. Can you show me where you found you?
3AM
"Just one more video"
"An arrow in the knee? Well why not"
B E S T D A Y O F M Y L I F E
It has returned to my recommended, I have relapsed fully back into Elder Scrolls
Imagine this was the last piece of human existence and aliens saw this.
"damn, these humans must have been awesome"
Glorious!! Something to be remembered of
They’re be like “dafuq did these humans do at other times?”
In that case humans would be badass.
Zortec it seems these Earth life-forms have received high-velocity projectiles directly to the lower extremities.
Yet they are engaging in rhythmic movement of aformentioned extremities...
Peculiar to say the least.
Consult the council!
*Weird shrieking noises*
I used to be dragon born like you but then I took an alduin to the knee
*Scrolls through comments**Sees a pineapple* Few people will understand my happiness.
Nice
Chandler Scott
GrimXbox 5555 same
Chandler Scott I used to be Alduin like u but the I took a Dovah to the kneeeeEEEEEeeee
I came for a simple meme, but I left hearing a masterpiece.
No, seriously, can I get this on iTunes? 😂
Justin Williams yea you actually can!
And Spotify
No but you can find it on Spotify
Samee
im recording this to put in my GTA san andreas User Track folder
Fun fact: “Taking an arrow in the knee” is nordic slang for getting married. They used to be adventurers but now they have spouses and possibly children.
Can you stop ruining the meme?
@@gj4047 Ruining memes is my sole purpose on this earth. ^w^
@@ArcadianFBC by the order of the Jarl, stop right there!
This is true, my dad used to fly airplanes and do all sorts of crazy stupid stunts. Then he got married, he no longer an adventure now, he guards my families house.
He took an arrow to the knee lol
Turns out the guards weren't being weird. They were just rubbing in the fact they were married.
Everyone's obsessed with TikTok dances when the real star is the guard's dance
Lmao tru
for having taken an arrow in the knee, these bastards can dance xD
so the guards took an arrow in the knee but they got moves like that huh
Generic undertale Fan boy
I need to dance like them give me a bow and arrow
I know right
Generic undertale Fan boy
lol true XD
Generic undertale Fan boy that's what I said and then whenever all those guards are dancing did you notice the hero the guy that took the arrow in the knee when running away you could see his iron helmet I didn't notice until the second time I listen to this
He was dancing too
Note to all Kyles and weebs, remember to get knee armor before the raid.
oh you sweet summer child the operation was a bust
@@HappyDayZ0 what raid
@@presidentofallfoodnice8113 area 51...
Its been 12 years and this song still hits
"Ahh, your like me. Dont fancy those clunky two handed weapons." -Says guard with a Battleaxe on his back.
*Slowly walking backwards while aiming my bow at his knees.*
Same thing happened to me except ot was a Warhammer.
I've done that multiple times and I have no regrets.....XD
“What kind of music do you listen to?”
“Uhh rap?”
“Oh cool you will have to show me some of your songs then!”
“Yeah... sure...”
This song came up on my recommended but it was uploaded 5 years ago and is my favourite song now
The Drip same
For a person that took an arrow to the knee, he busts some godlike moves.
2012: no
2019: youtube: lets recommended this awesome song to him now
The latest comment I saw
Same :p
Also noice goku profile
LMAO xD same.
Elston-Same here. I was wondering why I have never seen this video before.
This Video was Popular back in 2012
This isn’t just a song, it’s a literal conspiracy theory
identity thief
@@whiterunguard3127 "we know"
@@whiterunguard3127 where you the one who took an arrow in the knee
@@kys2800 no, he was the one who guessed that someone stole your sweet roll
@@whiterunguard3127
I’m so sorry for blowing up your city in the civil war
tbh that's some impressive dancing for someone who took an arrow to their knee, also how does the Dragonborn not know where the tavern in one of the smallest and easiest towns to navigate is
Z face a
2024 and still going. Happy adventures and may your knees be arrow free.
maybe it just me but i find it impressive they have sweet dance moves with a shattered knee cap
I used to find that strange too, until I took an arrow to the knee.
That seems to be the case with the other guards.
Arda Caglar
Just ask any of my fellow guards they'll tell you that its true, we've all got sweet dance mooooooovvveeeees.
I was just thinking that o.O
"Arrow to the knee" was an old nordic slang that meant getting married
R.I.P Dovahkiin, died by an arrow in the knee and is now a guard in whiterun
Yes because you can be dead and still be guard
(Claps slowly)
He could be a zombie
True
But once a day passes Dovahkiin becomes ash :O
+ben york you must be fun fun at party's
I used to be a TH-camr like you, than I took a hater to the knee.
so very depressing
haha
it would be more accurate if it was a copyright strike
Wow, It Seems We Are Similar To Each Other
Wrong preposition.
The first time I watched this is when I was 8 years old and my brother showed me this, well... I'm thirteen now. I was just sitting down on my couch and as soon as I remembered that this song even existed, I immediately got on my phone and searched it up. I am so happy now. God bless you, you are a true legend.
I used to be an adventurer like you
Until I got shanked while taking a pee
Dovah omfg lol
Spartin2030117 Xbox gt Let's see what else I got

"I used to be an arrow like you, then I took an adventurer to the knee."
"My cousins out on guard duty, and what do I get? Fighting Dragons."
"Let me guess...a sweetroll stole your someone."
"The weapons gave you two gods, and you use them both for your hands."
