WhenSkyrimNPCs absolutely will not stop standing on chairs, walking into walls, and getting generally confused about pathfinding their way around one loose cobblestone in the road, I usually just sigh and roll my eyes. They don’t know any better and they never will, I remind myself.
Turns out, it’s a lot damn funnier when an actual human being does the same things with some panache and commitment to the role. This guy on TikTok (also on YouTube if you’re an Old like me) has a whole series of “SkyrimIRL” videos where he replicates the ridiculous habits of Skyrim’s less-sentient inhabitants.
I first found JinnKid late last year from his second Skyrim NPC video—the one that apparently blew up and kicked the series off proper. Now I’m told it’s news? You’re telling me I could have been shitposting this entire time? I have so much to make up for.

If this is your jam, you can find the rest of JinnKid’s Skyrim IRL videos inthis YouTube playlist. There are plenty more NPCs to flex on, fromCicero the goofy Dark Brotherhood jesterto the classicarrow to the knee guard. Skyrim memes never die, they just grow up. You can also find his videos on TikTok at@jinnkidI suppose, but I don’t know a thing about that so you’re on your own.
