Get the Arranging the Drapes mug.Catch phrase from the game 'The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim' in which the guards have a repeating phrase throughout the game. Sparked an internet meme, including much fan art and responses from other existing memes.

Get the I took an arrow to the knee mug.Meme based on a quote from Bethesda's RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Guards would frequently tell the player "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee." The Internet joke modifies the independent clause to make it relevant to the topic.
I used to think arrow in the knee jokes were funny, but then I took an arrow in the knee. It wasn't funny.

Get the Arrow in the knee mug.Lots of people say "arrow to the knee" on the Internet, as part of an overused Skyrim joke. I have no idea why—all the guards say "arrow IN the knee".

Get the arrow to the knee mug.Based on one of the default conversations of guards in the game TES V: Skyrim.
If you talk to the guards they say "I was an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee".
And it really gets annoying after playing the game for some time.
So people started coming up with catch phrases like "I used to be <insert something OP here>, but then I took an arrow in the knee."

Get the Arrow in the knee mug.A phrase that is fairly old but popularized into a meme via the Skyrim quote
"I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee"
It has since found its way into youtube and message boards alike. Where a comment vaguely involving a video on youtube coupled with the phrase "but then I took an arrow to the knee" can attract hundreds of thumbs up.
It has since become more of spam then anything being put everywhere on every video regardless of relation. However it still fits on skyrim videos and is rather funny when paired correctly.

Get the Arrow to the knee mug.In Nordic/Scandinavian countries, "taking an arrow to the knee" meant that you are getting married/already got married. It refers to when we propose, we fall to one knee, comparing it to when a man gets shot in the leg, he, of course, falls to one knee.
Like most definitions already posted the most popular example comes from Skyrim: "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee". The guards are married, and can't go out adventurer, not crippled.
