Oh, man. This video, called “Unnecessary Censorship – Skyrim” from YouTube user NormalDifficulty (who also gave L.A. Noire the same humorous treatment) is a triumph. In it, they’ve added censoring bleeps to a bunch of the dialogue in Bethesda’s game, making it much saltier than the at times staid, often weird line readings really are. They’ve also made the dialogue much, much more hilarious.
I think my favorite is the kid who says:
“Father says I’m too young to train with a sword. So I practice with my [BLEEP].”
Haaaaaa. Further proof that adding bleeps to otherwise unremarkable dialogue is pretty much an automatic recipe for humor.
