Skyrim. The land of dragons and people who eat their souls. The land of a billion mods and the sweet, sweet tears of people who have paid $60 for a seven-year-old game. The land of Todd Howard’s endless fantasies about limitless monetization.
Also, it is the land of skill memes. The crescent of bad jokes and video game humor has been good to me in the past, and even then, I realized there were several other examples out there that I wasn’t able to give the spotlight last time. Se get ready everyone, because now we’re going to go for the skill memes that might get under your skin.
They might rustle your jimmies. But most likely, they’ll make you giggle.
And again, please remember that there are so many other skill memes out there, and while it might be the in-vogue thing to declare the meme dead (because aren’t all memes in some form or another, dead?), this is still going strong. Make yourself the best meme you can, and who knows? One of us might cover it in the next installment.
But today, there’s a giant pile of Skyrim memes I have that I am incredibly ready to share with you. Are you ready to tread down the dark paths of a meme that simply will not go to its final resting place among the Advice Dogs and Rage Faces of meme Valhalla? I know I am. Put your armor on a training dummy and munch on a sweet roll, this is 25 Hilarious Skyrim Skills Memes That Cross The Line!
25 Doggo Protec, Don’t Make Him Attac
When you’re working on a cosplay for your doggo, sometimes you might end up wanting to go the cheap and easy way out. Well, I think the lesson we can all learn from this meme is simple:
Do it. Always effing do it. Because the lovely part of this is that putting a doggo in anything that makes them look silly is hilarious.
Hey. I don’t know about you, but I feel safer just looking into that good boy or girl’s eyes, knowing they’re going to protect you until the end of time. Also, on a completely unrelated note, how delicious is a refreshing A&W root beer with a chili dog? Dunno why I thought about that. Who knows. Moving on!
24 Your So Stoopid, I’m So Smert
I’m usually not a big supporter of the military-industrial complex, but I do love me some soldiers. Especially when those soldiers have a clap back game as strong as good ol’ Austin Turner. Yeah, there’s no real reason to join the Armed Forces anymore unless you want to go to college without being a billion dollars in debt, but that doesn’t mean it can’t produce some fine, upstanding citizens.
Gotta love this epic clap back game.
And sometimes the stigmas that the military produces end up with people getting a superiority complex when they interact with or talk about those who were in the military.
23 Cute Sneaky Bulbasaur
Welp, this picture automatically wins the “Cutest Meme of All Time (For the Day)” Award. This super-cute Bulbasaur is doing such a good job of being a sneaky boy that I feel terrible for actually having to call him out.
Why do I have to do that, you ask? Why must I break this gentle illusion for this adorable spotty frogbaby? He’s looking right at me, dude. the illusion is already broken.
Bulbasaur: #1 Sneaky Boi. Ash Tested, Red Approved
Anyway, we’ll just have to encourage him to try again, and this time if we do notice him, we’ll try real hard not to blow it for him.
22 Whoa… That’s Deep, Bro.
Have you ever thought about how many people have taken really cool tweets like this and thought, “yeah, that’ll work.” This wonderful person has given us a gleaming insight into the world of dumb tweets. I mean, he’s so close here. He could’ve used the word poop.
He could have used the word racecar. But no, of course, he didn’t.
Instead, he posted this to his Twitter account like a big boy and ended up being a sensation. Still, the question persists: what in the everloving crap is an Oroe?
Actually, how dare I even speak those words. Of course, we all remember the storied history of the Oroe and its favored condiment, Mork. Thousands of Chillums around the world can’t sleep soundly in bed at night without their Oroes and Mork.
I’m sorry, everyone. I’ve failed you all.
21 Graceful As A Fox
If you have ever wanted to see a way to keep your crush from crushing your dreams, then all you need to do is take a lesson from this dude’s master class.
With one asterisk, he recovers from an impossibly awkward situation.
We’ve all been afraid of rejection, and it’s moments like this that we all live in fear of. But with careful word choice and split-second timing, he ends up buying himself enough time to not only keep the conversation going, but to undoubtedly cry in the corner for a good few hours afterwards. If that’s not being a healer, I don’t know what is. It’s an impressive thing that awkward teens should keep in their repertoire.
20 Lay On Hands, The Original
Gosh, I mean, how can you not love this? There are few mythical beings out there quite like the J man, the first restoration mage, the classic wizard of persuasion, the most popular deity in the current lexicon of gods and goddesses.
Jesus uses Recover! It’s Super Effective!
Also, nothing really ends up blasting away the gravitas of a moment or a person than turning them into a meme. Hey, there’s nothing fancy over here on the Internet, because we’re all silly trash piles when it comes to what we do out here. Nothing is sacred on the Internet, no matter how much the Internet may protest against the contrary. But that’s why we all love it.
19 You Can’t See Me, La La Laaaa
Most of us are used to stealth involving harnesses, black clothing, and the cover of night. They slip out stealthily and leave no trace, having accomplished whatever dark deeds they needed to perform and were able to slink back into the shadows with no one the wiser until the next morning.
All of that skill and preparation. Then you get guys like this.
I mean, he’s already got his picture taken from overhead, so chances are this photo was taken from a helicopter. But also, the cops obviously have him surrounded, so what the heck is he going to do when they take up positions and try to flush him out? Things are going to get pretty obvious, pretty quick.
18 Must’ve Been One Bear Of A Conversation
Guys, there are a lot of Speech skill memes on here. I get it - finding a story that involves the Speech skill is about a thousand times easier than finding one for, say, Alteration.
But guys. Guys? This one takes the Speech cake. It is by far and away the most shining example of bonkers talking skills that pretty much anyone could think of. I mean, talking your way out of a BEAR attack? As in the giant fuzzy machines of death and claws?
How does that even work?! It’s a frickin’ bear!
It doesn’t speak Swedish (the language the guy in the video spoke)! I mean, this guy might have Speech 100, but I also think he’s got Heavy Armor 100 in a very specific place on his body, if ya know what I mean…
17 YEAH, SCIENCE!
Besides being one of the only television shows to ever make me cry, Breaking Bad is one of those shows that sticks with you because it’s just too dang good. So of course, this show being about modern-day alchemy, there was no way to avoid a Skyrim meme about it.
Breaking Bad references? In my Skyrim memes? It’s easier than you think.
So here we have the obligatory Skyrim/BB meme and it works out just as well as you may expect: it was probably pretty funny when it first came out, but just feels forced now. However, that’s not going to stop me from saying those words that Jesse never said, but that never stopped us from quoting him: Science, b-word!
16 Shhhhhh…
Sometimes, cops set speed traps and end up ensnaring us all, emptying our wallets and ruining our day. Other times, Their schemes don’t work out as well as they had assumed.
This is one of those times. I mean, maybe if the cop wasn’t in the car and just ran up to stopped cars on foot or something it might be a bit more effective. But honestly, there’s nothing here that actually looks like it might conceal the cop’s presence, making it a completely moot point to do pretty much anything to be sneaky. I just hope he’s better at tracking down moving violators than he is at hiding.
15 This Mixtape Is FIYAH (And Smells Like Fries)
Have you ever wanted to keep your side hustle game so strong that it ends up meshing into your main job? This guy does. And honestly, it was just a job a McDonald’s. Dude’ll find a better job at Wendy’s within the week. And then he can market his obviously targeted-for-kids mixtape to end up completely making someone’s day.
One just has to wonder what exactly his stage name is, too. Maybe something like “Lil Patty?” What about “Small Fry?”
Are these fast food rapper puns too much for you? Too bad, kiddos. You just have to deal with these little nuggets of wisdom. If you’ve got a problem with it, then you just might need to put your Big Mac pants on and deal with it.
14 Gaming’s Greatest Live Actor
This story made headlines a few months ago back. As you can see, I have my finger on the pulse of MMA fighting peoples. However, I also think that using a way to get around Twitch’s rules and regulations is pretty hilarious in and of itself, so I need to give this guy all the props. I do have to say, this might usher in an era of crowd-funded Pay-Per-View events of questionable legality. Just another thing that the millennials have destroyed. But hey man, who wants to pay five bills for a bunch of meatheads grappling over each other? Not me, of course. And certainly, not all of the people subscribed to this guy’s Twitch channel. Needless to say, the Skyrim meme community nailed this one.
13 Bow At The Feet Of The Master
Have you ever been so good at talking that you end up making your mistakes a complete success? This person really needs to be commended, if this was actually successful. Hopefully, this person is still working there, but with skills like that, they might be running the damn company right now.
Anyway, I do love that people like this person exist. If not to make normal life crazy, then just to make life crazy for everyone else and for them to make headlines about it. That’s kind of the magic of Skyrim memes: they bring out the magic in our common humanity.
Thank you, Internet. Thank you for revealing the good in us all.
Sometimes.
12 Even Better Than Daedric Armor
I don’t know what this person is holding in their hand. I can only assume that it’s the good word of Talos or someone, because nothing else really makes sense. Because there are so many heathens out there, it makes sense that if you’re using the mass transit, you’re going to need some protection to ensure that you keep your head protected from all the hateful rhetoric the non-believers can spew upon you:
“What’s with the watermelon?”
“Is that even real?”
“Who’s Talos?”
So, fellow believers of the Hero of Man, remember, when you go out to spread the word of our savior, keep your watermelon helmet on and you’ll be A-OK.
11 The Master Of Disguise
You gotta give this guy points for ingenuity. That, and his convenient size comparison (I assume) with his mother. I mean, when you think about it, he’s doing his mother a favor, really. He’s taking clothes his mother owns, dolling himself up, and making her look twenty years younger to a store clerk she never met before.
Is this guy a wizard? No, he sadly just looks a LOT like his mom.
I’d say that’s a pretty good way of putting your best foot forward at some of the most well-respected places in town. It’s like indirect PR, and you’re paying your PR person in illegally-obtained alcohol.
Hey, at least it’s a better way to do business than most showbusiness types might operate.
10 Socially Awkward Penguin: The Game
I never really get asked that specific question, but I couldn’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve screwed up a compliment or greeting with the exact opposite phrase. So many people working retail have wished me a good day, and they’ve gotten a “you too” right back, like I just glossed over the fact that they were cleaning up vom in the Men’s room just hours beforehand.
And don’t even get me started on the number of social interactions where I’ve actively wanted to show off my people skills only to come off as a barely sentient receptacle for flip-flops and fart jokes. I mean that-that’s true, but I didn’t have to spell it out so plainly.
9 A Proper Gentleman Burglar
Sometimes, when people break into houses and steal valuables, they’re referred to as cat burglars. Can you imagine what you’d have to do to be considered a bear burglar?
You may be cool, but you’ll never be " bear playing a piano" cool.
Turns out, not that much. All you’ll have to do is walk around a house with a piano and play it. That’s it. Do you ever think you could be as cool as a bear playing piano in a house he broke into? I know completely that I will not be able to ever surpass that. However, maybe I’ll be able to with time and practice. I’ll be a guy who could maybe play a piano with a bear. I think I could live with that.
8 Meme Thievery Is The Worst Form Of Thievery
Here at TheGamer, we know absolutely nothing about this meme business. All of the memes we find in about every single one of our nearly billion articles that contain memes are one hundred percent our own and made in-house by our crack team of graphic designers, all of whom have extensive experience in Windows Paint and are certified in sketchy online photo compilers. (I’m kidding of course).
The thing to remember is that these jokes are still funny, no matter who found them.
While I’m being a bit facetious here, the one thing to remember is that so many of us end up finding memes and end up posting and reposting them into oblivion. It just stings a little when the other person gets credit for it.
7 Super Lag Bros
Oh, the last resort of all gamers online everywhere - lag. If you’re not familiar, ping is a measure of the time it takes for your computer to speak with the servers of the current game you’re playing, measured in milliseconds. Normal ping is around 0-20 ms, so this number here is a little high. It essentially means that no matter how good you’re playing, your reaction time is not completely your own. This, of course, leads to easy kills and tears and rage. It’s also the biggest scapegoat when someone gets ganked super easy. But you know what? Sometimes it’s true, but pretty much every single controller that’s been broken in its name met a truly unfair end.
6 The Worst Version Of Villain Monologuing Ever
So sometimes people commit crimes. Sometimes, these people committing them are not the smartest, and that gives us headlines like these bad boys. So what does the Internet do? Well, just what the Internet does best - makes memes out of them. And there we have it - just how the spiciest memes end up being created.
This person may probably be the dumbest guy to ever commit a crime.
However, I’m sure we’re going to see a meme in the next couple years proving us wrong. However, with crimes like these, at least, where no one gets hurt, they’re utterly entertaining. As long as dumb people keep doing dumb things, the Internet will definitely keep making dank memes about it.
