The Elder Scrolls Adventures Re-envisions Skyrim as a 1980s Saturday Morning Cartoon

Raise your hands if you remember that weird Dungeons & Dragons cartoon that ran from 1985 to 1987. That show was clearly made to capitalize on the popularity of D&D, but I still tuned in every week with the hopes that it’d get better. It never did.

That D&D series informs this spoofy video from YouTuber Harry Partridge, complete with an annoyingly toyetic mascot and motley cast of kid archetypes. I love that they get Skyrim on an old-school 5.75-inch floppy and the obligatory ā€œrockin’ outā€ bit once they kids are in Tamriel. Partridge did that great Saturday Morning Watchmen video when the film adaptation of the classic Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons comics masterpiece hits theaters. The same dead-on humor shows up here, making it a must watch if you’re losing your life to Bethesda’s hit RPG. ā€œBad guys beware, because it’s Dovahkid time!ā€ Indeed.
