For those who have been playing Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, you might not have discovered the latest video meme yet, probably because you’ve been playing so much Skyrim. However, the power of FUS RO DAH is taking over the internet. Specifically, YouTube.
It all started with this video, which came out before Skyrim even released. Who would have guessed that it would have lead to the latest craze.
The powerful shout, which can only be learned by a dragon-born, i.e. your Skyrim character, has now become one of the most fun phrases to shout. In game, the shout causes a shockwave to stun and push away enemies. Its translation means “Force Balance Push”.
In essence, that’s what these videos illustrate. Some force, unbalancing, and pushing. Sometimes many people or goats being pushed.
I’m sure as the craze continues, we’ll keep seeing more FUS RO DAH’s make their rounds. Have you seen a video that really captured the essence of the shout? What has been your favorite FUS RO DAH so far? I have to go with the entire congregation getting pushed back.
People are really getting into the spirit on Twitter as well.
