The very nature of Skyrim is ripe for parody and good-natured ribbing. Yes, it’s one of the most beloved adventure role-playing games ever made, but Bethesda’s approach to world building leaves it open for scrutiny.

Of course, this includes memes. Here are ten of the funniest ones about dragons that are currently out there in the digital space. Each one is bound to give Skyrim players a few chuckles!

10 Irony

When faced with dwindling health and no potions, Skyrim players default to the food in their inventory, with varying degrees of success.

It’s hard to recommend eating a sack full of cheese wheels to replenish health, unless you’ve got a bountiful supply of Metamucil back at Breezehome. If nothing else, at least you’ll learn your lesson and keep your potion collection well stocked up!

9 Yo Mama

A hilarious take on the concept of the Dragonborn, and the threat he might pose to other, more insidious dragons from fantasy lore. This particular meme references good old Smaug from The Hobbit, perhaps the most arrogant dragon ever to have lived.

For those players who like fashioning Dragonbone armor, they’ll appreciate this meme the most. After all, nothing sends a message quite like wearing the bones of your dead enemies as a morale killer.

8 Chicken Lots

This meme gets a laugh for referencing the Dark Knight’s Joker. First off, great Photoshop job getting that helmet on. Second, clever twisting of the movie quote to lampoon one of the most eye-roll-inducing aspects of Skyrim.

How many times have Skyrim players slain dragons within the confines of towns and cities, only for the local residents to immediately start sweeping the front porch seconds later? But…you accidentally kill one chicken, and you’re blacklisted!

7 No Biggie

One would think that the exploits of a superpowered Dovahkin infused with the blood of the dragons would get a little more respect, especially after taking one down. Unfortunately, there’s always some fool trying to ice-skate uphill by attempting to mug you.

In reality, it presents an opportunity to show them just how powerful you are, and what a mistake they’ve made. Knock ’em down with a heavy blow from your warhammer, or Fus Ro Dah them off the side of a cliff and watch them tumble. Your choice.

6 No. Just No.

Alduin is evil incarnate, and seeing his ugly mug show up is bound to ruin anyone’s day. Flip the concept on its head, and pretend that he’s suddenly got a severe case of the cuddles for you.

This meme is wrong, on so many levels. Funny, but wrong! Granted, it’s not the worst pickup line a dragon can use. Now, let’s hear it in Thuum!

5 Sneak Attack

Once in a while, a dragon fight spills out into a town or city, with hilarious results. Imagine if one decided to get the drop on its prey by stealthily infiltrating a town like Riften and rearing up for a kill.

Funny meme, and one that elicits more than a few laughs at the very thought of strolling about the walkways, only to get nabbed by a hungry dragon’ s maw.

4 Intellectualized

Think learning Japanese is hard? It must be a darn sight better than trying to learn the ancient language of the dragons. Granted, accomplishing such a feat would make you feel like quite the brainiac.

Writing it is another matter, however. Did the ancients go for the old pen and paper routine, or shout their writings onto a scroll? We digress.

3 Monty Dovahkin

This meme gets a lot of clever laughs, and should be relatable to pretty much any Skyrim player who spent the first dragon encounter at the Whiterun Watchtower. Even veteran Skyrim players realize they’re too weak to take on Mirmulnir directly at such an early stage in the game.

Most opted for the top of the Watchtower where they could rain down a tidal wave of arrows. Going full Monty Python while doing it? So much the better!

2 Hindsight

It’s sad, but true. Those of us who thought dragons had two legs and wings were duped! The original depiction of the dragon in ancient folklore shows a four-legged beast with two wings, while the two-legged variation is actually a wyvern.

Wyverns aren’t particularly good fliers like their dragon cousins, but they do have a much more temperamental nature. Perhaps if they’d just gone with wyverns instead of dragons, this unfortunate realization could have been avoided. Let it die here.

1 And Then There Were None

This is by far one of the funniest dragon-inspired Skyrim memes around, and pokes direct fun at the crazy Game Of Thrones queen Daenerys herself. Skyrim players go through dragons like Mario goes through goombas, so what chance do Drogon, Viserion and Rhaegal have?

All the Dovahkin needs is a backpack stuffed with cheese wheels, and he should be able to cleave right through these popular dragons with ease!
