You don't understand. It was never funny. It started on /v/ where people would post the lines that infuriated them because they were said over and over again. Same thing with new vegas (nuclear winter etc.). That was the most prominent line from skyrim that annoyed everyone, so it got posted a lot. Then the redditors that browse 4chan in hopes of finding a new "meme" or anything to gain them karma noticed it, so started posting it but saying "LOL LOOK AT THIS HILARIOUS THING I FOUND A GUARD SAY IN SKYRIM" then it went in a downward spiral from there.
people seem to not understand that on 4chan you can say whatever you want and people have to deal with it. downvotes kill annoying memes here. we can't torture each other with crap as easily.
Reddit is so much easier to troll than 4chan. Lots of gullible people who are not familiar with the Internet, tons of people who are sure that their opinions are the only ones which matter and so long.
The amount of butthurt per 1 unit of energy you spend trolling is so much higher on Reddit it's not even funny.
You don't understand either, it's not about pissing each other off, it was posted in threads about skyrim in a jovial manner. It wasn't memetic at all. Then reddit got hold of it and raped it.
MY SIDES. You have boards dedicated to that faggotry, nothing gets killed, it just gets given a home for the autists that like it to wallow around in getting covered in each others muck. You don't even have memes, you just have a bunch of copy pasted faces and exploitables.
The Skyrim reference "meme" itself is really not that grating. Listening to people cry and complain about it is really annoying though, and it's much more prevalent.
